hi again

Sorry its been so long, life is super busy right now! I’m half way done with my school year, so that’s super exciting! Alright, to answer some more questions:

~I love to horseride
~I’m not filming anything right now
~As far as acting tips go, I’d say, don’t act. My acting coach, Laura Lasky (who by the way is amazing!) has a unique twist on acting skills that she introduced to me a long time ago…first of all…great actors like Marcia Gay Harden and Julia Roberts, don’t act. They apply the character to themselves, which is a super hard thing to do, but if someone puts time and effort into it, they could pull it off. I guess my biggest advice would be to not to aspire to be an actor because of the fame and fortune, but because of the true inner passion…

Alright…until next time!!!

    That was a very good advice, Shailene! Your acting coach seems to be very good at her job. If I ever keep continueing acting I’ll try that advice. Before I’ve acted I’ve always acted too much and the character was too lame. Your characters are very believable and now I know one reason why! Thanks for answering my question, you’re a sweetheart!

    I’ve got one question, if you don’t wanna answer it is okay :)

    1. Do you have penpals? E-mail penpals or penpals who you write to?

    xxx, Linz

    And would you be interested in having a penpal (like ME??? :-)
    Love Always!!!!

    That’s like method acting I think. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_acting You should be careful though. If you immerse yourself too much into a character that’s a little weird or something, you might end up a little weird yourself. :)
