I'm 14. Could/Should I start modeling to be recognised as an actress? I think I want to model...?

Question

OK, so I'm a freshmen in NY. I'm not exactly what you would call "popular" but I'm a lead in every school musical, I take acting/singing classes, and I think I'm not exactly gorgeous, but I could pass for pretty. I dress dark, ya know, black, red, green violet clothes. I'm 4'11 (yes I realize I'm a little short for this career choice...) I think I could work the photographs and catwalk. Should I go for it? Please, opinions are HIGHLY appreciated. Be brutal.

Answer 1

no offense bt you are too short i am 5'1" and i want to be a model but honestly every agent is gonna tell you ur tooo short. thats the great thing about acting. you can be any height.

Answer 2

It would be a great deal easier to share an opinion if you had a portfolio shared for viewing.

Answer 3

If you want to model u are going to need to wear heals alll of the time.

Answer 4

i'm 5'7" and they told me i was too short, and im the tallest girl in my school for my grade! but i think you should try! there are things called beauty television commercials, for models who arent the tall thin model most designers need for their fashion shows, and if you have acting experience, you would do wonderfully for them!

just try, you never know, and the worst they can say is no!
