I really want to get back into acting, but I used to act as a kid and in my college days, having been in school and church plays, but gave up acting due to my love for writing (my first love), due to family members making a mockery of me doing acting and insecurities. My question is how can I get back into acting, enjoy it and prove everyone wrong.

Josiah Bhola Hillaire, you should look up local community theaters in your area. They're a great way to ease back into performing and find a supportive creative community that will cheer you on when others in your life may not. If there are no upcoming shows that you may be right for, you can still volunteer and get involved in different ways that will help you get comfortable on a stage again until the next show goes into prep.

Here's my 2c worth. If acting is something you want to get back into, if it's a passion of yours and you want to commit to the craft.. DO IT. But do it for YOU, and not to prove anyone wrong. If they continue saying xyz, focus more on the goal, and not the noise that surrounds you. As you learn, grow and start positioning yourself into a string of successes, the 'noise' will slowly die away. Get all your ducks in a row, get headshots done (not cell phone variety).. if you don't already have an agent (talent) do an indepth search, and always follow your gut instincts. If you need help finding one, let me know and shoot me an email at donna@oleanderpr.com Good luck
