    Don’t worry man. 2023 will be your year! Also don’t be bummed about not booking any commercials, you can still always say you were in a commercial with Shaq.

    Thank you so much for making these videos, Kurt, no matter the results! I have been tracking my auditions since I really started two years ago and it really is a great tool to reflect on the past year and my progress. Thank you for your humbleness and keeping it real!

  • @rosarodrv

    I auditioned a lot too and only got 3 booked last year. I don’t feel so bad now if it’s not just me. Maybe more to do with the recession. Thanks for this valuable info and tips

  • @reillyfeatherstone
    @reillyfeatherstone ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I love this! I say this all the time, but 81 auditions with 0 bookings, it can take people years to get their first 81 auditions and so many give up before getting anywhere close, which is a shame. Thanks for being so open about your own career Kurt, It's really inspiring

  • @malikamaybe
    @malikamaybe ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Thank you so much for sharing this, Kurt! I've been away from acting for a few years now due to caregiving (still studying as much as I can tho) and your videos legitimately remind me how much I appreciate acting even the very, very natural ups and downs. I remember booking the very first two things I auditioned for right after college (indie film & student film) and was like 'oh yeah, here we go' and then proceeded to not book some dozens that followed lol. And I will be absolutely sure to check out Will Trent!

  • @ChrisCrossAplsauce

Always motivating and encouraging 💪🏽I wouldn’t have moved to Atlanta from houston to chase my acting dreams if it weren’t for Kurt because I had no idea Atlanta had some many opportunities out here, until I starting watching your channel. Always honest , always humble.. I think I speak for all actors watching your videos when I say “ we appreciate you” 🙏🏾

  • @adaratoop
    @adaratoop ปีที่แล้ว

    Love this! It's so true - professional acting is a rollercoaster. Even month to month. But keeping at it and making sure you're staying strong in all the off-set aspects (networking, taking classes, updating headshots) will make you even more prepared for your next booking. Happy that the bookings you had were good ones!!

    @ofautumnfrenchbulldogs6767 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for being so honest and transparent. I think this video is appreciated by many in the industry, it shows that others are going through the same 'dry spells' as you and it really isn't a reflection on anyone's acting. Awesome positivity spread and may 2023 be full of great opportunities for us all!

    Mr Kurt, I'm so glad that you're back on TH-cam with all your very informative videos about acting. You're very helpful and I have incorporated quite a few of your practice tools into my everyday life and acting. I'm here in Michigan and have been to Atlanta for several projects and can't wait to possible work with you on a project one day soon. Please keep teaching us who want to learn more.

    @CatieMannino ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Kurt love your videos! I started my first acting class 2 weeks ago and hoping to start auditioning once I get my headshots done this week!
    Also, I saw you in Wolf Pack and got so excited! 😂🎉

  • @RyceTV
    @RyceTV ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I watched Will Trent and I felt like screaming at the screen, "That's him. That's Kurt Yue. My first acting coach." Though, I've never met you in person and I haven't joined your virtual class, I still consider you as my first acting coach. You taught me how to break into this industry. You taught me how to find a local acting coach, which lead me to get my 2 agents, which lead me to be lead in 3 commercials. This April will mark my 1st year anniversary of being an actor. It's still the greatest job in the world, though I can't tell you how many auditions I've been on. I think I lost count in August. But, I'm learning. Learning to be patient with myself is the hardest part. However, the only way that I can get over that is by acting, so this weekend I auditioned for 3 student films. 2 of which I think I'm a shoe in for. I also, binge watched Will Trent this weekend. I absolutely love seeing you in a reoccurring role. Keep on inspiring us.

    @Gigi-rj6pp ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks to your videos and tips, I just booked my first acting job! There’s not much out there without an agent, so I’m really proud of myself for getting something without an agent or headshots yet, but I can’t wait to tell my acting coach!

  • @Linda-hh4td
    @Linda-hh4td ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I admire your bravery Kurt and am glad you didn't sugarcoat this. Up and down cycles are what we can expect; whether it be acting or in life, the key is to stay positive and carry on. BTW I'd like to add a topic I'd like to see- how to form an Acting Plan. As you know without a roadmap it's easy to get lost. With one, we empower and propel ourselves forward and onward.

    First and foremost congratulations and continued success! The power of your channel is your POV and experience. I know you hit on this briefly, having booked more substantial roles, than in previous years. I was wondering, if this was an intentional “strategy change” between you and your agency. If so, why did you feel now was the time? Thank you.
    Side question: Is there any project/position inside or outside of the industry that you would give up auditioning for 6 months?

      Thanks, Melissa! This was the first video I recorded with my Sony A73. I've actually had this camera for years and was using it for my headshot photography (when I was still doing that). I have better lenses for the Sony than my Canon 80D, which is what I was using before. The main reason I switched was to have a dedicated camera for TH-cam and a separate dedicated camera for my self tapes. I still use the Canon 80D for self tapes.

    • @MelissaLeeGomez
      @MelissaLeeGomez ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ActingCareerCenter Thanks for sharing! I love the look. It’s rich & a touch moody which I personally love.
      I love your audition stat videos btw. I’ve been wanting to do this for myself since the first video you did a couple years ago. 😂 although this year I booked a total of 0 jobs yes, ZERO jobs lol despite so many auditions. (I did do 1 student film though so maybe not quite zero) But oddly, it’s not disappointing. I feel stronger than ever with my acting and I really focused on growing in Meisner technique this year. March will mark 2 years of consistent attendance at Houde! I start spoon rivers next week and I just completed setting up my home voiceover studio last night thanks to Keith walking me through it over zoom so I’m looking forward to 2023!!

    • @ActingCareerCenter
      @ActingCareerCenter  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, I figured since I'm changing my camera, I might as well play with the lighting too. Same softbox lights as my self tape setup, just moved them around a bit.
      I love that you're finding the positives in a "down" year! Congrats on your growth at Houde! Here's to a great 2023!

    I auditioned for 39 jobs in 2022 and got booked for 6, but none as a result of auditioning, but instead via networking and recommendations. It was my goal to audition for 100 jobs, but I got caught up producing my own short film, which I had to make in order for casting directors to get a better idea of my type and preference. All in all I think it was a good year. Could have gotten paid better tho. 😅
