Dear Erik,
I am a struggling actress and singer, and haven't had much luck with my
natural talents being noticed. It has been difficult because my passion for
such arts is so immense, and I truly wish to be recognized for my abilities. I
have talent, but no one has given me the proper roles to best perform that
talent. I am always in the chorus and never the lead. How can I improve myself
and gain more acclaim when no one will give me the slightest chance?
Always dreaming,
Wednesday Rose
Dear Rose,
My only suggestion is to keep trying. Getting discouraged will get you nowhere. Look what happened to Christine when she first began in Paris. Give it time, and they'll come around.
Dear Erik,
I love to act and sing in my school's musical, and I am decent, but my
theatre teacher plays favorites. Last year when we performed High School
Musical, I was cast as a teacher, and a horrible actress was cast as Sharpay.
What should I do to get noticed?
-Genny
Dear Genny,
Again, give it time. If your teacher's playing favorites, then he/she is not being fair and just. I would let it go and keep on trying for the lead. And who knows? One of these days, he may pick you for the lead.

Dear Erik,
My brother can't sing. Nor can he play his... cornet, is it? He does them
both VERY badly. Any suggestions in what I could do while he plays/sings?
-Basket-
Dear Basket,
May I suggest the note trick? Or, if you suppose that will get you in trouble, you could simply listen to your own music… Loudly. While taking a walk. Away from your brother.

A/N: If you sent me a letter and I DIDN'T post it, that's probably because I'm still thinking about my answer. They will be in the next post, though...
