    Good job girl! 😊👏🏽 I've always wanted to be an actress but I was afraid because my voice is deep and I've been bullied because of it so I never really followed through with it. I once applied for an audition for an agency awhile back and they said that they were going to call me and see if I've made it but they never called me so yeah and you give me so much hope! So I'm going to try my hand at acting again!

      Your deep voice may be one of the things that will make you stand out! If it's something you are interested in, be motivated and go after it!

      Thank you! I just did another small promo commercial, but it did not pay as much as this one lol. Will keep aiming for the big ones!

      @MarielaPerCalBusiness  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Be sure your parent are on board! Unfortunately, you'll need your parent consent/presence to be seen by trainers or even casting directors. I personally had to wait till I was 18 to pursue acting :)

      I had to send them an invoice, which I did using Paypal. I recall being paid within a week of completing the job, but I've worked jobs where it has taken months!
