Answer 2

Go!!! For petes-sake!

I am currently starting plans to fundraise the more than $10,000 I will need to do just an intensive course at the Lee Strasberg School. I live in New Zealand, in the South Pacific. It's going to be such a hard road, and require lots of dedication. But where there's a will, there's a way.

I'm 24, and attended Drama School here when I was your age. You may find, without the prior experience, that it's harder than you thought, and requires a lot of sacrificies. But it's an experience you will kick yourself for if you DON'T do it.

What's the worse that can happen? You find you hate it, and it's not for you? So what, at least you learnt something.

You stand to gain so much more than you stand to lose. It may not be an easy experience, but nothing worth having is easy to get. Having such a prestigious college on your resume will be a major advantage, and give you an edge over thousands of other actors.

Keep in touch if you want, send me a message when you decide what to do!

All the best
