I love this little series! Really inspirational ❤️

[@aleepinchi]

I LOOOVE HER😭😭😭😭😭

[@amyraquel]

This has always been a dream to me. To be an actress. I was in art school for fashion and I was a leading actress in my first short film for a friend of mine who was studying film. I hope I make it one day. It's all in the perfect timing.

[@rachellice7316]

Keep striving for your dreams! You can do it!

[@chlochlo8207]

Same!!

I wanted to be an actress but idk

[@Cookiemonst3]

I love you Ashley! I've always identified with you as a role model. Thank you for being you!

[@EdwardSeeber]

I'm glad Ashley shared her story, it helps hearing what someone went through to follow there dreams, never give up & keep working hard ✊🌠

[@syriaporcelli6840]

These videos really helps me. My dream is to become an actress and i feel like I will never but stories like this one makes me believe in myself and in what I do even more.

[@haleyjones8960]

Love you for this, Ashley. It's a rough field of work and the financial insecurity is a huuuge drawback. I had a professional theatre audition this morning, I have a feature film audition next weekend, I'm hoping to work as a bit part on a network show shooting the next few months, I'm working on my own short films totally solo *and* I'm unemployed, slightly terrified to get a solid normal day job because I have to keep availability open for last-minute auditions and on-call work. Not to mention just getting an agent to sign you in and of itself is harder than it should be. It's a rough. Field. Of. Work. I get it and it sucks. Us actors gotta stick together.

[@sangimizo6804]

Her smile..Her eyes..🌹❤️

[@timaam2591]

So strong and powerful, this is what we need more of. Not the succes stories, but the way to succes, the hardship and failure. The reality. Thank u cosmopolitan!

Shes the best, love her and her personality

[@melw5666]

Wow! Something about her looks so different! I haven't watched her on anything else since the final episode of PLL. I miss them. I've been watching Shay Mitchell's new show though. It's really good!

[@smellysmo]

Mel W she just gain a little weight, her jawline is less visible but gaining a little weight is normal.

[@melw5666]

@@smellysmo Yea, gaining weight is normal. But I actually didn't notice that until you pointed it out. I was talking about her presence in some of these interviews just seems different to me these days.

[@Ghet104]

Mel W She was also Abigail on DOOL bfore Kate Mansi a long time ago

[@premiumpils7623]

[@voletta950]

Her voice is very different, I guess she’s been smoking

[@kate_5964]

Yeah there were papz photos

[@SiminaKiss]

She has been smoking for years so my guess is either this was shot in the early morning, she was sick or did a lot of talking before also you can‘t compare the sound here and the sound on on of her shows or movies, with no one its always a bit different.

[@shaniatiffany7008]

She has been smoking for years

[@erin1674]

she quit

[@arianamariap]

or maybe her voice just changed🤷🏻‍♀️

I love you Ashley but I know your not going to see this but yea ❤️❤️❤️

[@tangho]

soooo gooooooood

[@JlynnsTrouble21]

Ashley, I wanted to know if you could help someone be as successful as you are. I've wanted to be an actress my entire life and I've different things but nothing works out.

[@tintedcherry]

Jessica Young you could fly to LA and audition for any movie production that they need actor/actress or started off on KZbin because I think that big stars may see and notice. You should take acting classes if you could to improving your drama or crying or other stuff skills. I hope this help :)

[@haleyjones8960]

Long story short, start where you are: community theatre, school plays, local indie film work, local commercials, etc. (and if you're lucky enough to live in a place where a big network show or movie is planning to shoot, put your feelers out there and start networking... you might get a bit part on one of the big shoots). Build a resume and get good headshots done. When you have a decently filled out resume, start submitting your headshot and resume to talent agencies in your area. Make sure you're doing this for the right reasons. Are you doing this, at the core of it, for the love of the art, or is it simply to hopefully become famous? When you're doing it for the art of it, you'll have a lot more lasting power in this business than someone who wanted to be an actor for a hot minute because it looks easy and fun. The hard reality is that it's not easy.

[@Danigirlrocks101]

Do you have an agent? The first step is to get an agent or get enough experience to get an agent or a manager. Ashley said that she had both an agent and a manager- they're the people that send you off on auditions
