Q. I want to act and have very little to no acting experience. I live in the DC area. And I know all the steps and stuff, all I want is a acting instructor or a good place to get my xp. Like can you find a acting instructor in the dc area, because I tried to find some and they're all too cheesy.
A. Someone said that you don't need an acting instructor. That is not true.
It's basically like saying you don't need to go to know how to sew to sew or you don't need to know how to open a bag to open the bag. If you are not going to get an instructor, at least go to a local theatre camp or attend classes. Agencies aren't going to look at your resume if you aren't trained, and you won't be able to get any auditions for big productions if you don't have an agent. So the first thing you need is experience.
School productions are worthless if you don't go to classes or get training. It's just like telling a company when you are applying for a job that you played lawyer or dentist at home, so you are ready to become a real one.
Just to let you know, there are some things people never told you about acting. Visit this website: http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-awful-things-nobody-tells-you-about-being-actor/

I want to pursue being a doctor but I am not sure if its for me or not?
Q. I'm in high school and I have been thinking about college and want to be a doctor. I'm smart and so far in high school have recieved straight A's. The thing is I'm not one of those crazy studiers or nerds. I know the hard work and everything that goes into it. My sister is a dentist and she's more of the nerdy type. Do you have any advice for me?
A. Consider going to a community college 2 nights a week for a semester to get an Emergency Medical Technician qualification. After you get your license you can work 1-2 24 hour shifts a week. And you can study or sleep between calls. The hourly rate is not that great but you can do at least one 24 hour shift a week while going to school.
As well, med schools will look at this a lot better as it means you will have experience in life or death situations. That you have already been exposed to the messy side of medicine and if you can handle being an EMT, you are a good candidate for medical school. It has been known that EMTs in med school are often steered into the ER.
As well you can get an extra dollar an hour in most places if you get a qualification to drive the rig.
And if you do not get into med school, then you can take the full paramedic program which will give you something you can actually make a living doing.
My daughter got her EMT-B ticket while a senior in college and it made the difference in getting a fellowship. In DC she is seen as an expert in first responder safety in her chosen field of transportation. As well, she says the rush you get riding in an ambulance with lights and siren going is as good as sex.

I am a coward at the dentist. Is there a gentle one In DC?
Q. I am traumatized when I go to the dentist. I gag when they put those bite wing x-rays in my mouth and this has caused me to put off needed dental care. Not to mention the big bills. Now I am likely going to lose another tooth and will eventually need implants or a partial. Short of having a dentist fall in love with me what can I do?
A. You have identified the problem already.
That is a step forward.
Now schedule an appointment, get over your fear and get done with the treatment.
