"HORRIBLY MISINTERPRETED"? HOW MANY WAYS OF INTERPRETING THIS STATEMENT ARE THERE??

I agree with the other posts about auditioning. I've talked to my clients about this and yes, auditioning is a very different animal. But let's get real. How can you say you love acting if you take no pleasure in doing it?

Maybe it's time to rethink your life...

I totally agree. How can you say you love acting if you really have never done it!!!!! Me, it's in my bones. From 5 years old and on, I have always loved the art of acting, performing, excelling at it- the whole bit. Even though it took years for me to finally pursue it as a career, I did theatre and what not and relished it. I was aching to get out on that stage and entertain. It burns in me like fire. I even love auditioning and I do not get nervous. It is a rush. A chance to get out there and strut your stuff. WORK IT. OWN IT. MAKE IT YOURS. Yeah baby....Ooh, I'm getting fired up and excited just thinking about it.
