I'm 13 and I would love to be an actress. I've been taking acting classes for five years. I am getting compliments from my teachers all the time about my acting. I can sing too. I also play guitar pretty well. The only problem is that I'm not fit. I have curves, big thighs, and a stomach. Well, I'm 5 ft 1 and 152 lbs. I know that's bad, but if I weigh that does that mean no one will hire me? These are some pics:http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg40/allierobinson13/Photo770.jpghttp://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg40/allierobinson13/Photo769.jpghttp://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg40/allierobinson13/Photo748.jpg (straightened hair)http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg40/allierobinson13/Photo758.jpg (bad picture, but that's full body)Thanks, please tell me what you think because I know it can be hard to get a part just because of the way you look. I know I have a lot of potential, but I simply cannot shed the pounds fast enough for summertime (that's when I go to auditions)I eat healthy. I just don't exercise 0_0

1>>> listen, you can do it. i've seen people who are overweighrta nd achieve great things, win awards, etc!!! Just stop worrying abot it and DO IT!2>> if you really want to shed go to www.mypyramid.gov to find out what you should be eating. cut out soda nad sugar things [you can still have it, but say soda only on fridays and small amounts of sugar]. drink a lot of water. and to finally burn it you sohuld do a sport. maybe run or ice skate with friends3>> never give up, since that's how i lost my dream :)

YOur body means that you'll get cast for roles with a similar body type to yours, but not necessarily, as long as you are healthy you shouldn't go on a diet.

its a VERY hard industry to get into.. but just becuase you think places arent going to hire you doesnt mean you should change what you look like. .. if they dont except you for you then move on to another audition another agency.. someone will everntually take you for you! you just have to keep trying! your a very beautiful girl... you just cant give up!! =]

I think you are a doll. I bet there are a lot of agencies that would hire you without you changing a thing. It is a good idea to eat healthy and do some exercise but I wouldn't do any extreme diets. I look forward to seeing you on the big screen!

You look fine honey! I couldn't tell from the pics that you're 152...Love the color of your braces! And the hair in the 3rd pic is soo cute :PJust go for it, YOU CAN DO IT!Good luck and all the best! x

I'm being brutally honest:What you got, will never make it in show-biz. no matter how good you are. Sorry sweetie, but the harsh realities are that casting directors don't only go for talents, they go for looks too. Sorry about my brutality, it's even harder when you have to do it to someones face! If this is something you REALLY want, here is to go about it:-lose about 50 pounds- get a bubbly personality and TONS of self confidence- PLUCK THOSE BROWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- move to Hollywood- get NICE clothes (not with like aero, hollister, american eagle logos, etc, no one hires people who wear those)

Hmm i say just you know have alittle makeover. Wax the eyebrows, cut your hair, put layers to it. and wait a while, you probably wont be an actress for a while anyways, you will grow out of the curvesand chub. believe me i did. I am still alittle chubbybut i weigh 140 and i am 5'6. i used to be abou your size. maybe even bigger, you'll get through this phase around after junior high.

well, really i think it dosen't matter about the size it's talent. And health wise start excersising, not for looks but for your health really. (this is for everyone)like i said it's talent.knock em dead (no pun inteded...)

well if you eat healthy then start exercising!its not hard to go outside and run around and jump rope.its not very hard to do crunches or to buy an exercise tape either. and you're right, you're not gonna lose the weight in time. i seriously think they will care though. like i hate saying that but it is the truth. and like the one person said wear nice clothes not aeropostle, hollister, a&f, american eagle.
