    LOL at your response to “Do I need acting classes?” Do lawyers need law school? Do doctors need med school? That’s the way I see it aha. Like any career, there are expenses and sacrifices you have to take to be successful

    I prefer the one with the professional camera. Makayla's right. No one. Agents, Managers, Casting directors etc will never take you seriously with a head shot on the iPhone. Trust me
