Funds to Study Acting at AADA in LA
Donation protected
Hi everyone, so I'll start by telling you a little bit about myself and what my fundraiser is all about. I am 23 years old fromEngland and I have had a massive interest for acting since I was a little girl. I used to love creating shows for family and friends and then found a passion for acting when I started Sylvia Young Theatre school at the age of 13. This opened me up to lots of amazing possibilities with theatre and I loved the feeling of adreneline I got when performing. As I grew older and started to work I realised that nothing could ever compare to how I feel when I'm performing and I soon realised that I couldnt imagine doing anything else. This was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
I did attend a foundation in acting at Italia Conti for a year, but unfrotnately wasnt accepted onto a BA at Drama School. This was heart breaking for me and for two years I gave up my dream. This was the biggest regret of my life. I did decide to try again for Drama School, but this time I wanted to try something different as a fall back if my acting career didn't take off. I ended up studying a BA in Drama & Applied Theatre at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I am now currently in my third year and have loved every minute of my course. Ive had some amazing opportunities to work with children in the slums and work with a variety of different communities, however, I just couldn't shake off this feeling of wanted more. I realised that this is my last chance to follow my dream as an actress and I have to take it before it's too late, so I thought third time lucky and applied to American academy of dramatic Arts. I couldn't believe it when I saw the acceptance letter in post. In a years time I will hopefully be off to LA to study for my dream career.
The only issue I face now is coming up with the money to pay my tuition and after being awarded two scholarships I am still unable to come up with all the funds to allow me to go. I'm asking for your help to make my dream possible. Anything you can give will be much appreciated.
