Do you think i can make it / who are some really tall female celebritys??

Question

okay so i am going to an arts school for musical theatre and i am really passionate about my work. but i am only 14 and 5'11! i was wondering if anyone knows any tall celebritys or broadway stars who have been successful? sometimes i get really discoraged because of my height mixed with my age just does not match! i am really scarred that i will be type-cast! if anyone has any advise or success stories, it would be really nice to hear them :] thank you!

Answer 1

I am 6'2" and am doing quite well for myself in musical theatre. You need to be PROUD of your height and use it. There are so many roles which you can play - where it sets you apart. Larger than life characters or ones that are hilarious if you are tall playing opposite a shorter man.

5'11" is a good height because men are still going to be taller than you.

Your teachers at school will be able to give you some more advice but REALLY be confident show them what you can do. So many people are jealous of height and a lot of people wish they were tall. Use the passion that you love in your work and put some of it into your self confidence. You will find success if you are confident and work hard in your craft. Remember - in theatre you WANT to stand out. You already have a head start on all your classmates.

Good luck
