Question by Lauren: I’ve always been shy, but I really want to take some acting classes. Do you think I can do it?
I’ve always been a shy person, not around my friends, but around other people. I’ve always been interested with acting and I am looking into taking some acting classes. I’m suppose to call someone later today to talk about taking classes with them, but is this a good idea? Will it kind of bring me out of my shell? I am currently majoring in film production (although I have not started my film classes yet due to the fact I am taking my general required studies first).
What do you all think?
Advice?

Go for it… I f you can understand a character and portray their emotions, then you can act. They say actors are the shyest people of all anyway, because they hide behind their characters…*
