QUESTION:
Should i be homeschooled so i can get more practice and work on acting or should i just be homeschooled if i make a movie or if i have a tv show?
ANSWER:
There’s no need for teenage actors to be home schooled until they start really working a lot. There’s plenty of time after school and on weekends to go to teen acting classes and prepare for auditions. You’ll find that a lot of teen acting auditions are scheduled later in the afternoon when school is over and parents can drive their kids to castings. Unless you book a series regular role on a TV show or something of that sort that requires a long term commitment, there’s really no need to give up your friends and normal school life.
