I'm new to myLot, and as such am a little sceptical as to how you can make money on here. Write back and let me know if you have ever earned more than $10 per month - and more importantly, how you managed to do it!

lauradl Hi - you don't say where you are from, but I would say accent plays a key role in the part of Nancy. If you're English then the East London accent should be too hard to master, but if you're not, you should try and study this accent in advance - watching...
