FSU BFA Acting Audition

<p>How heavily do they weigh drive, desire, GPA, passion and those types of traits vs natural talent for the BFA audition? </p>

<p>Like Peter Facinelli, a big inspiration to me because of his circumstances, I'm in my first year of college and never acted during high school, I do skits with my friends, and don't really know if I have talent. I've taken a 4 day acting class but it wasn't enough to show me what I was capable of as they made me play a 65 year old man, I'm 19. I improved the most out of the students, but still am not sure. I can't explain it, but I've known for a while now that the only thing that I can imagine myself doing is acting. I was always really painfully shy so I never got into it. I feel like I worked so hard in school so I could start learning this type of stuff now. I'm currently getting A's in all of my classes in my first semester. I have a sickening work ethic and I don't have the ability to give up. At the class one student mentioned how after they graduated their friends all moved to LA and then moved back 2 years later. I was baffled by how quickly they gave up. One way or another I'll make it work out, but FSU is close to home and looks like an amazing opportunity and if I get in I'll dedicate myself to my work 100%, that's just how I feel. Any feedback and advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks all!</p>
