Light Skinned Black Actress?

Looks play a role in casting a specific role but talent, training, experience and an understanding of the business matter far more.

Get your daughter some quality training from respected instructors and experience in things like school plays, community theater, student films and the like. Don't limit her - let her auditions for the roles she feels she can perform well regardless of the color other skin.

Don't get hung up on race or skin tone. Concern yourself with getting her the best training that you can get. Sometimes in the audition process, the producers and directors are open to changing the race and even sex of the role but whatever they do, that's up to them. What's in your power and your daughters power is to be a great actor and be prepared.

She can't audition for anything without an agent and an agent won't touch her without training at an accredited drama school. Nearly all roles are non-race specific and the history of theatre is full of actors of all races and genders swapping identities. It is, after all, called acting.

She auditions for everything she can unless race is specificified. My friend's daughter is biracial and she was one of the Von Trapp children in a local production of "Sound of Music". She just wore a blond wig like some of the other kids

As the other answers say - her colour is irrelevant.

What matters is talent, training and experience.

No problem these days in Britain, possibly more problematical in the USA.
