Answer 1

I think you are taking great steps and are well on your way. As for "making it", that depends on what you are looking to do.

It's sad, but true, that in theater, it's more of WHO you know than WHAT you know. So what you really want to do is make good impressions on your directors, choreographers, and teachers and keep in contact with them. You really want to network yourself, because they will offer you more parts or suggest you to other directors.

You don't have to be famous to "make it" in this career. There are lots of acting opportunities out there. You can have a day job and do theater at night, or you could go on tours, or you could even teach acting to others. Don't let yourself feel like you have failed if you aren't in People Magazine.

Remember what you said, "something clicks inside me". That should be your goal, to always enjoy what you are doing.

Answer 2

you are definitely on the right path, keep working hard and you'll be going places. Good luck!
