Your Questions

Many of you have hopes to become famous one day.  You would like to sing, possibly dance and act.  Often we are asked how you can go about this venture.  It is very difficult for us to give you advise.  many of you come from different parts of the country and are at different stages of advancement.  Definitely do what you can locally, participate in plays and talent shows.  Check out some managers, agents and agencies where you live and what their requirements are.  They will then take you further down the road to where you would like to be one day.  Many of them require professional picture cards and a portfolio / bio.  So be prepared.  Ask your family and friends to give you a REAL opinion on what they think.  At times we think we are doing well and that may not be so.  Acting is a real profession not just drawing your emotions to a character.  It is a entire art on how to show that to the audience.  In all cases: PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.  Even professionals practice!  You are never too good or so good that you do not have to practice.  Take a mirror and observe yourself, your gestures and your technique.  Be prepared.  If you like to sing know that many times you may only have a few seconds - yes seconds - to show your talent.  Especially when you go out into the recording industry.  It is not all fun and games.  Be extremely prepared.  Think about the entire package.  Put it together.  Your image - are you outgoing enough - do you have pictures - do you have a tape / CD / video reel - a dance routine / scene to act out - cold read (practice).
Another way is to display yourself and your talent on youTube.  Make sure your parents approve of it first!!!!  The Internet is NEVER safe...so stay on your toes and safe.  You can hope to be discovered but know that it may not happen this way.  In any case, you can have fun, practice and get feedback from friends and family - maybe even other youTubians.  :)

What you do NOT want to do is over do your (tweet) requests to famous and popular people to discover you.  It is OK to advertise but to spam anybody leaves you in a very embarrassing place.  Though it shows that you are determined it can be annoying and backfire, closing all doors.

To get you a better understanding what your day become like when you are 'famous' teen magazine made a video with Bella Thorne depicting a day in her life.  We thought Teen Magazine had a genius idea and decided to display that video here.  You can find their video in the right column side of our webazine: Bella Thorne.  Also, we added a few additional videos your celeb fav Bella.

So guys ... go 'Shake it up"....
