Lifestyle & Fitness: Performing

Why do you want to do this?

I've always wanted to be in the spotlight, and in a position where I can positively effect others. i have such a strong voice, but no where to express it. I have a large personality and huge dreams. I deserve this.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

Lose weight. To make it in the modelling business, one can't be a size 12. I either need to gain or lose weight and gaining isn't a healthy choice for me.

Get photos done. I'll need to built up my portfolio by meeting with a ton of photographers.. I've done two tpcd (free shoots to build the model and photographers portfolios) so far and will have to get more of those and even some charging artists to build my portfolio.

Get myself out there. This could mean applying to agencies, auditioning for campaigns and jobs, auditioning for shows, commercials and runways. Putting myself out there with the best of them and really believing I can do it!

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

My fear. I'm afraid of being turned down, shut out, laughed at, out done, left alone.. even embraced. The world is tough, I'm afraid to let people in and go for my dreams but it's something I need to do or else I know I'll always regret it.
