Actress

# data[].attributes.body
Actors normally work most of the day, from morning to evening. The specific times depend on when the director wants you to be there each day. The starting salary is about $98,739, but it really depends on your role. Some successful actors make a couple million for each movie! Acting jobs are mostly found in big cities such as New York, Chicago, Hollywood, etc. A more specific setting is being on set or in separate rehearsal rooms.

Technically you don't need any specific education to become an actor. But what you do need is experience, lots of experience. Here are the basic steps to becoming an actor.
1. Taking classes and practicing
2. Getting experience (ex. college plays, local shows, etc)
3. Practice additional skills (there are tons of different roles, you need to be ready for anything)
4. Getting an agent (they are professionals in finding auditions perfect for you, they also have connections that can get you far)
5. And while all this is happening, you should have been working on getting headshots, building a resume, acting reel, etc)

For being an actress, I am good at creative arts classes such as drama, art, CMA, and others. They all require lots of creativity, practice, and experience.

Actors work for years to try to produce a movie or show for the audience to enjoy. A typical day looks like this: considering you got the audition for the main character, you would be showing up in the morning on set, at whatever time you were told. Then you would have a couple hours of rehearsal, and some breaks. During the rehearsal you are figuring out blocking, or where to stand, how to say your lines, and working on having a connection with your co-stars, directors, and crew. If the scenes have a musical part, you are either recording the song in the sound booth, or you are working on rehearsing the dance with the rest for the cast and extras. After rehearsals, you get into costume, hair, and makeup for a couple hours, then go on the set again and start filming.

I love working with a whole cast and crew in front of cameras to make a huge project such as a movie. It’s so fun to see the whole thing come together in the end, and feels amazing to know that people loved it, watched it, and enjoyed it. I also love how it’s not all work and memorizing lines, you get to have fun with your new cast family, make new friends, and enjoy everything.

I chose this house and location because California has lots of acting opportunities, and nearby cities like Hollywood/ Los Angeles do too.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the inside and outside color, I also love the design of the car and how it looks. It also wasn’t very old or expensive so it was a good deal.

The estimated budget was different than the adjusted budget because the adjusted budget was a little over the estimation. Overall it was pretty close, but it still means I would be spending a little over my budget.

# data[].attributes.body
My choice of career and house matched up because since there are a lot of acting jobs in California, it is very convenient that my house is there. I was able to afford them, but I would have probably chosen a cheaper car if I could do it again to save some more money.

# data[].attributes.body
If I had to choose, I would choose the option of having a job I love which doesn't pay enough for my dream house and car. I would choose this because I would end up spending more time at my job than at home, so I might as well like the job I have end enjoy being there.

What I have learned about myself is that I am always prepared with backup plans in case the original doesn’t work out.  I always think of what the outcome will be for every decision, and have ideas of how to fix anything that goes wrong. I also learned to not have my expectations up too high, because a lot of the times the result might not be what I expected.

# data[].attributes.body
Some things I need to improve are getting more experience, learning about different terms I didn’t already know, and just getting practice in auditioning. I also later on need to make some headshots, a resume, and do more research on finding agents. Some things I can do in high school are participating and auditioning for their plays and musicals, and going to any after school activities that can help like choir, show choir, and others.
