<p>EmmyBet’s and Gwen’s advice are very useful! I don’t know if I’m in a position of saying anything, because I’ll be going through the same thing in a couple of weeks, but one teacher told me once that talent isn’t a “gift”. Even if some people seem to be talented from a young age, that talent will rot and go away if they don’t practice. With a lot of practice and dedication (and a bit of life experience), anyone can be talented, especially when it comes to acting, because…well, theater is about what it feels like being human, right? And we all are.</p>
