    As an actor who has been rejected from drama schools a multitude of times and always felt like a lower-class citizen every time I’ve auditioned, Helena gives me hope. She’s quirky, down-to-Earth, and one hell of a great actress. She’s my favourite ❤️❤️❤️

    This is so inspiring, because I always thought that you’d have to go to drama school or something to be a good actor but when I hear that she kinda ‘just started’ and I see where she is now, I see that she’s right and you learn by just doing it and failing and trying again. This gives me the hope that I could also maybe become an actress one day.

      it's not that hard honestly. if you live in a big city its easier. if you live in a small town just look to the nearest big city and look at agencies in that area. obviously start with smaller agencies because they are not gonna expect you to have a lot of credits and a big resume. lots of small agencies do casting calls to look for new talent. google is your best friend
