Acting Career

When I was nineteen I ...... an exam to get into a drama school in London, but I was unsuccessful.

At that point, I had to decide whether to try to ..... a career in acting

or just abandon the idea and ..... completely different kind of job.

All my friends told me that I ..... a natural talent for acting

and that I didn't need to...... a qualification to prove it.

So instead, I ..... a small theatre company

and ...... experience of acting that way.

Just by working with other actors I was able to ..... new skills and two years ago I was asked by the National Theatre to perform in a production of Shakespeare's The Tempest. I have never looked back!
