I'm sorry I didn't explain myself better. This is Tony Jones web site. For years he worked as Betty Cash's partner as a costume designer. Beforee that he was a Shriner clown. Now he has seperated from Betty and has his own costume line. He also runs a convention every year for ministry clowns. It runs for a week. He is also the editor (and I believe owner) of the Cross and the Crown. A ministry clowning magazine. Might I add he and his wife Nikke are very nice people. Maybe his web site can help you.
We all start somewhere. I started part time because of the face painting. After a few years and a few trips to clown camp I set a 5 year plan to be doing this for a living. You can to if that is your dream. It just takes a little planning, a lot of training, and a bit of heart. You have the heart, you are searching for the training, and I'm sure you can do the planning.
You picture is little but you look pretty good to me. Certainly better that someone who has only been in make-up a couple of times. So you are already up on a lot of people.
I also took collage acting classes. If you are lucky enough to get an instructor like mine you will gain a lot.
