* Victoria Justice as Tori Vega, a sixteen year old aspiring singer who enrolls at Hollywood Arts, a prestigious performing arts school. Tori is taken aback by her invitation to the school, as her sister, Trina, has always been the star of the Vega family. However, she quickly begins to enjoy her new school.
* Leon Thomas III as André Harris, Tori's best friend and a gifted musician. He loves to play for his friends but has stage fright when playing for big audiences. Tori and André perform a lot together.
* Ariana Grande as Cat Valentine, a super sensitive girl with flighty tendencies. She tends to over-act and is extremely emotional. Though Cat can be a lot to handle, she becomes a close friend to Tori.
* Elizabeth Gillies as Jade West, Tori's nemesis. She is more rude and direct. Even though is somewhat of a mean girl, Jade is hard working.
* Matt Bennett as Robbie Shapiro, a shy and awkward student at Hollywood Arts who is more comfortable speaking through his ventriloquist's dummy, Rex Powers. Robbie is a master ventriloquist and Rex is his alter-ego and his very hip companion.
* Avan Jogia as Beck Oliver, Jade's ex-boyfriend and Tori's crush. He's hot, funny and down-to-earth. He's also the most respected actor in school and takes it very seriously. Despite being Jade's boyfriend, he doesn't share her way of thinking and is nice to everyone.
* Daniella Monet as Trina Vega, Tori's older sister by one year. Though she has good intentions, she is egotistical and truly believes stardom is her destiny. Unfortunately, Trina has the attitude of an A-list star but lacks the talent.
* Tori and Trina's parents (played by Jennifer Carta and Jim Pirri). The father is a police officer.
* Mr. Sikowitz, played by Eric Lange, the school's improv teacher. Tori (and possibly everyone else) thinks him to be crazy. He likes to drink coconut milk, saying that the milk "gives him visions".
Make It In America
Victorious Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got the wind in my hair and there's dust on my feet
I'm just trying to make it in America
Only thing to my name is in old t-shirt
Faded 1985 from the Stones concert
And I'm dying to make it in America
And I'm singing the words to my favorite song
With the rag top down and my glasses on
I wanna taste the sun
Cause baby I'm born to run
I gotta feeling that I'm not the only one
And I, I wanna show some skin
Yeah, baby I need the ocean
And you can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
And I wanna make it in America
Make it in America
I can see my stars sunset and vine
Gonna carve my name in the Hollywood sign
Yeah, I gotta, gotta make it in America
See me wearing a smile even if I'm broke
I'll be singing the words from a song I wrote
And I called it make it in America
I wanna taste the sun
Cause baby I'm born to run
I gotta feeling that I'm not the only one
And I, I wanna show some skin
Yeah, baby I need the ocean
And you can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
And I wanna make it in America
Make it in America
I can feel the sweat dripping down my face
I can hear my heart as it starts to race
And sometimes it's worth such a lonely place
If a just push on I know that
I wanna taste the sun
'Cause baby I'm born to run
I gotta feeling that I'm not the only one
And I, I wanna show some skin
Yeah, baby I need the ocean
And you can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
And I wanna make it in America
Make it in America
