Sup,
For years now i've been told that I have a great speaking voice. If I was giving a speech, I was told that I am articulate. If I am singing, I can carry a tune. If I am reading a PSA over the phone, I sound like a commercial. Well I am finally going to act on talent, that I've been given. I am signing up for a six week voice over class with a reputable casting agency. The class is $345 plus transporation... I am forking over the dough, because I know this is an investment into me. Into a talent that I could possibly turn into a career if I prove I have that X-factor. Can you imagine.. raw talent, plus the guidance to perfect it? I am going for it. Tomorrow, i'm going to pay for the class and on April 30, I will be sitting in my first class. Woohoo!
I told my mom, while she is happy for me, she couldn't help but ask why didn't I just major in theater or acting while attending college. She had a good point, but I was once told, no one makes money in the field... I suppose its because its so competitive. But I have been thinking and thinking of ways to be even more successful in life and spending time working on something that I love. I can do it. I am already driven, beyond starving, and excited to get started. I hope it will be more than what I expect it to be. I really do want it to be a rewarding experience and a way for me to get both feet in the door of this entertainment sect.

ciao
