please help me!!!!
Ashleigh,
Thanks for writing. The best way to become a real actress is to obtain the best training possible. When you're of age, enroll in the best actor's training program at a college or university that you can. Schools like Julliard, Carnegie Mellon, NYU, Webster College, Boston Univ., Brandeis University and Southern Methodist University have excellent training programs.
The best actors in the world are the ones with the best training.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Phil
