HeyI'm 13 and I know there is a LOT of teens out there that want to act is much as me, but all of us cant act, so i think whoever is really intrested in acting like me should be the ones to succed. If anyone can help us get satrted then PLEASE do. And im not sure if i have to pay to act ina film, but i hope not. I'm sure that most of us dont have a lot of money. If i did recive enough money i would by my family a new house!

Rich (all three of you), I'm glad you care so much to post so many times (under the same ISP address as Dylan...coincidence?)....but you've got no justified reason to be mad...in fact you've got it completely wrong.

Na was perfectly polite in answering Dylan's post. He sounded like he urgently needed information (i.e. he indicated he thought you might have to pay to be in a film) and Na was simply urgent in her response. He was wrong, and she gave him good information to correct him. Nothing rude about that. I don't see it as putting down a boy's dream, because the dream was rather confused. What she was doing was clarifying what to do to pursue a dream, and I considered it rather helpful.

On the other hand, Dylan was EXTREMELY rude in responding to her help. He tried to make her sound stupid by attempting to rephrase what he'd said. He was terse and arrogant, and I think not at all grateful for the help he'd been offered.


Therefore, you might consider that MY response was a little rude. That's because it WAS. Because I happen to think that it doesn't help anyone to pursue a dream if you suffer fools gladly. If you want to succeed in this industry, you need to be a bit more thick-skinned, and you also need to recognize good advice when it's offered to you.
There are people here who constantly offer excellent advise, and visitors would do well to read the previous posts before asking inane questions & disrespecting the sensible answers.


Cheers,
Craig
