• My friend and i really have the want, ambition to become famous, whether it be in Hollywood acting, NY Modeling, even on youtube.. we don't care. Here is our reason: Like not for the money or all the attention. But the best feeling in the world is knowing that you can change someones life (for the good). Whether I act or sing or dance, just knowing that what I do entertains others, put smiles fon peroples faces, and can make complete strangers suddenly interested in my life.. that would indcredible. I’m not saying I’m talented at any of that, I’ve never preformed or done anything extraordinary…. but being famous would be the best expirience. any steps? tips? advice? anyone we could possibly contact? please please please, were in our 2nd year of highschool and we believe we have enough passion.

But we would love to learn how to get to the top so our dreams of starring in productions around the world, making people happy, will come true. please only answer if you will take us seriously, please... thank you xoxox.

• Answer:

  I appreciate what you're saying about wanting fame but not for the money or attention - but don't you see, that you don't need to be famous or well-known to entertain others, to put a smile on people's faces, to make a real difference? A group of young actors I know - none of them known at all - last week performed a Xmas show for a big social centre for people with learning disabilities. They all absolutely loved the show, and at the end, a kid with Downs Syndrome got up on the stage and joined in the sing-along. It probably made her happier than anything else in her whole life. Her face was a picture. Do you see what I mean? Fame just isn't necessary. The same group performed a pantomime for an old people's home the next day - and a 95-year-old lady got up and danced with them. Again - you can't buy that sort of feeling. They made her, and the other 50 old people incredibly happy. Aim to be happy, aim to be good at whatever you choose to do, and aim to make other people happy along the way. But forget about the fame thing. It's not needed, and wouldn't be at all like you imagine. Being famous isn't 'the best experience' - in reality it's a nightmare. If you want to be actors - get into a good class and be ready for many years of very hard work - it's a very tough business to get into. Modelling is such a totally pointless career I won't encourage you in that. But whatever you do, don't think you have to be at the top to 'succeed'. Success is relative. The happiest people I know are the ones who do wonderful things for other people, make them happy, but don't wish for recognition or fame for themselves. They are the people who are actors, singers or dancers who are completely unknown but love what they do, earn just about enough money to survive, and wouldn't change it for the world. Be happy. xx
