Help yourself to take the role by: practice, practice and practice. That is before going for a class. Know that no one would be willing to give you their time to practice without a visible benefit.
You should tell yourself that nothing would bring you down.
Learn how to handle criticism. As an actress, you would encounter criticism daily. Knowing how to manage them is a gift that would take you to the next level.
Also have a mind of learning. If you don’t have you would not be able to succeed as an actress.
