Taking part in drama/acting at university with braces? A problem?

[Fonzie]

Hello there.

Apologies is this might be in the wrong place but I didn't know where else to ask this.

Basically my question is would wearing braces pose a problem with regards to taking part in drama and acting opportunities at university? I'm having some braces fitted in a few weeks (standard metal "train track braces) which need to be in place for 2 years after which time I'll have an operation on my jaw to completely straighten out my teeth.

I would very much like to take part in acting etc. but I'm just worried that having these braces will pose a problem. Will that be the case?

I just think without the braces, I'd be worse off with regards to the whole acting thing. Seems like a Catch 22 situation.

Any advice guys and girls?

I don't think it will be a problem at all. I've seen a number of people perform pm a west end stage with braces and it hasn't hindered their clarity or projection.

Cool.

So if my stand-up routine fails, I guess you could all laugh at my braces?
