QUESTION: soory but how impossible are we talking about here i mean cant you be a little more specific even thouh i live in LA will it still be hard cuase i am soon planning on moving in to stay with my aunt so please try to help. yeah do you know any one i can talk to, miley cyrus anyone?thanks!!

Answer
What do you think impossible means?  Not a chance in the world.  It is going to be very hard, take a long time and cost a lot of money for professional lessons, photography and printing.  There is noone for you to talk to that can help.  There are literally tens of thousands of young teens like yourself who want the same thing, and none of them can do it either.  It takes years of study and training and most of all experience to be a professional actor/singer.  Or it takes a celebrity relative like Miley had.   Best wishes, Doc
