Getting Serious

I realize I need help. Not the kind from a doctor in physiology, though that’s a different story altogether.

For now, I’m focusing on what it takes to succeed in this wild world of entertainment.
First and foremost, I know I cannot do this alone. Luckily, I have a very supportive cousin who has been my guiding light, helping me navigate all the pitfalls along the way. She always says, “You’ve got talent, but talent alone won’t get you anywhere. You need training, discipline, and a little bit of luck.” Taking acting seriously means investing in education. I can’t afford to wander aimlessly anymore, hoping I’ll stumble into success.
It’s time to sharpen my image, improve my skills, and really learn the craft.
Finding the right acting school was a challenge in itself. It’s not just about the curriculum; it’s about the instructor.
I remember walking into my first class feeling like a fish out of water. I was nervous, clutching my script as if it was a lifeline. The instructor, a stern but passionate woman, looked at me and said, “Let’s see what you’ve got.” I hesitated then stumbled through my lines, cheeks burning with embarrassment.
Afterward I told myself if I want to do this I need to sit in on more classes and get a feel for the vibe. Sitting in the back I observed the other students some confident others just as nervous as me. If you’re not comfortable with the environment it’s almost impossible to find the courage to perform.
And honestly although I seem to have a knack for being a total goof sometimes stepping in front of strangers still makes my stomach flip.

As an introvert I developed the persona of Miss Sarah Luv to help me break out of my shell. It’s incredible how a little makeup a confident stance and a fun alter ego can change your outlook.
One day I looked in the mirror and thought this is the real me just a little more fabulous.
Most reputable agents won’t take you seriously until you’ve completed some formal training. That’s why I was lucky to find a local acting class filled with talented instructors.

The first time I stepped onto that stage I felt nervous but exhilarated.
My classmates have been my biggest supporters understanding my gender challenges and encouraging me every step of the way. Their kindness has been a lifeline.
One evening after class I drove home buzzing with energy replaying my performance in my head. In that moment, I realized what enjoy more than acting itself is creating content. Developing a story, writing dialogue and bringing a world to life with words. It was clear that’s where my true passion lies.
If only it were that simple.
I dove down the rabbit hole and enrolled in a writing class at the university.
Now a new door has opened one filled with endless possibilities.
The thrill of crafting stories imagining worlds and expressing myself through words has become my new adventure.
Who knew that my journey would lead me here? One thing is for sure I am ready to face whatever comes next because this is just the beginning.
