Hello. Hey Kurt. I want to get in an acting class so I can have an agent help audition. But the thing is that I'm a little embarrassed to ask my parents to get me a class. Can you give some tips?
I reccomend just giving them idea or trying to collect some money, so you can pay for the first classes yourself, to show them your serious about it! Oh, and give classes your full attention, agent will come with time. First learn everything, try to reach yourself for some ads castings, take headshot, complete a little resume and go for it!
Great interview Kurt! Also, I know how you feel about singing. Last time I tried to sing first responders were called and the "Jaws of LIfe" were used. It was quite awkward to say the least.
Thanks Kurt for your videos! Please give me advice about which online classes should I start taking as a beginner acting student. I’m a senior in High school undecided between the Sanford Meisner center, the Lee Strasberg Institute and Stella Adler studio. Which technique do you recommend to start my foundation? Thank you 🙏
Hey kurt just a quick question, been watching a lot of your videos recently and have seen you do workshops now and then , would I be able to join one even though I’ve never had any experience acting ? Thank you.
I’ve just turned 41 and now I’m looking at acting classes but there not a lot in my city except for some improv classes and physical theatre. All the good stuff that sparks something in me is in another city. Hmm.. I guess it comes down to how bad I want it
me, crying in Dutch... But no actually i'm training to get that accent away and then i'll look for some training things in english. Great videos as always!
Good idea! 45:00 I think I'll start. I've got lots of material. The channel could be a source of showreels and one woman shows! I was so depressed (covid depression - the Sinkhole Effect) I didn't think of that! I haven't done as much as I could have.
and in which city is it better to start an acting career in London / New York / Atlanta or Los Angeles? who just graduated from university or some courses . and who wants to break into the film industry and become famous . where to go for a novice actor, please answer
Hey I am new and I want to start a career on acting but I don’t know half the stuff in you other videos are and I am a bit confused if you can talk to me or tell me that would be great:) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO TO TRY AND HELP OTHERS! Much Love sent your way
The first step before anything else is to start taking acting classes. That will clear up a lot of confusion when you get to ask the teacher questions in class.
Congratulations on the booking! That's awesome! Slateshots are used on Actors Access and yeah, they are basically just a slate of you saying your name and maybe your height as well.
Hi kurt i have a question i was wondering i'm 19 now and i live in belgium my plan is to go to a drama college out here then when i graduate move over to LA to start my career as an actor but i would love to get into musical movie's like high school musical or a week away but i'm afraid i might be to old by then to play as a teenager any comments or advice on this thanks in advance
Your actual age doesn't matter. What matters is if you can still play the character of that age. There are plenty actors in their 20's or even early 30's who play teenagers in movies and shows
Hey Kurt,I am actually 18 years old guy from India.I have been interested in scriptwork and directing(I have some good ideas).I know it's hard to get chance in Hollywood from India (because I need to get us visa or green card).But Hollywood is also in Canada right(so I can get chance from there and to get Canadian green card is easy)and I can make a movie below 30 in Hollywood. How about my probabilities
Hey Kurt! So I’ve had a few questions about being eligible to join SAG-AFTRA. On one of the requirements it says I could work as a principle for a day under a SAG-AFTRA production. How exactly do I find or get booked for a PRINCIPAL/SPEAKING role in Sag-Aftra so I can be eligible to join the union?
Smaller Union projects will occasionally advertise on local message boards or in the back of a newspaper. If you do well enough in the audition to get the part, the producer will pay a bounty to the Union to let you join. This is called "Taft Hartley" based on the law that allows producers to hire non union members if no union members are available. However, joining the Union doesn't really help you unless you are already an experienced actor in a market with lots of union projects.
The vast majority of SAG-AFTRA productions will go through talent agents to find actors. However, you may be able to find some without an agent via casting websites like Actors Access. Just be prepared that publicly posted casting calls often get thousands of submissions so the competition just to get an audition is fierce. All that being said, there are pros and cons to joining SAG-AFTRA and for actors who are newer, the cons often outweigh the pros.

great information....
Thank you so much for this video concept this was really helpful

Last time I tried to sing first responders were called and the "Jaws of LIfe" were used.
It was quite awkward to say the least.
🤣😭
Omg amazing video/stream
This video inspired me even more i going acting in April semester I can’t wait 😜
Thanks Kurt for your videos! Please give me advice about which online classes should I start taking as a beginner acting student. I’m a senior in High school undecided between the Sanford Meisner center, the Lee Strasberg Institute and Stella Adler studio. Which technique do you recommend to start my foundation? Thank you 🙏
That's totally up to you. There are successful actors who studied all three. I, personally, studied Meisner and that has been great for me.
@@ActingCareerCenter Thanks si much :)
Hey kurt just a quick question, been watching a lot of your videos recently and have seen you do workshops now and then , would I be able to join one even though I’ve never had any experience acting ? Thank you.
Yep. most of my workshops are for beginners
I’ve just turned 41 and now I’m looking at acting classes but there not a lot in my city except for some improv classes and physical theatre. All the good stuff that sparks something in me is in another city. Hmm.. I guess it comes down to how bad I want it

and in which city is it better to start an acting career in London / New York / Atlanta or Los Angeles? who just graduated from university or some courses . and who wants to break into the film industry and become famous . where to go for a novice actor, please answer
Hi! Great advice. What is the name of the one year long acting course you mentioned in uk.
You should go to Pippa Moss UK's channel and ask her. She is probably not seeing your comment here
@@ActingCareerCenter thankyou, you are an inspiration
Awesome ✌️
Great video! So informative
Thanks, Hasan! Definitely reach out to Pippa if you have questions about studying in London.
@@ActingCareerCenter Thanks Kurt! I will definitely do that in the near future
Has anyone ever taken (or know anyone who has taken) the 4 week Master Class at Actors Studio in the UK at Pinewood Studios?
Hey I am new and I want to start a career on acting but I don’t know half the stuff in you other videos are and I am a bit confused if you can talk to me or tell me that would be great:) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO TO TRY AND HELP OTHERS! Much Love sent your way

Hey Kurt, I also live in Atlanta. Can you suggest some acting classes here in the area that are good look into? Thanks!
First place I would recommend to anyone is Drama Inc: www.dramainc.net
I have started acting classes a month ago, could I ask what would be the next step to take to get me to a working actress?
Focus on your training. Your acting teachers will let you know when you are ready to start auditioning or when to pursue and agent.
@@ActingCareerCenter thanks kurt!
What’s the deal with slateshots? Is it just like a slate?? Also just booked my first gig with my agent!
Congratulations on the booking! That's awesome!
Slateshots are used on Actors Access and yeah, they are basically just a slate of you saying your name and maybe your height as well.
You mentioned some acting websites, like Mandy or Spotlight. Do you know Backstage? And if yes, what do you think about this one? :)
Yes, Backstage is used quite a bit in the US, I'm not sure if it is used in the UK
@@ActingCareerCenter Thank you. I really liked this video. Very useful :) I shared it on my Twitter for other people to see :)
Hi kurt i have a question i was wondering i'm 19 now and i live in belgium my plan is to go to a drama college out here then when i graduate move over to LA to start my career as an actor but i would love to get into musical movie's like high school musical or a week away but i'm afraid i might be to old by then to play as a teenager any comments or advice on this thanks in advance
In sex education show Eric effiong is played by ncuti gatwa who's 28 years old age was never a problem
Your actual age doesn't matter. What matters is if you can still play the character of that age. There are plenty actors in their 20's or even early 30's who play teenagers in movies and shows
Hey Kurt, I just got a called back from iPop. Do you think it’s a scam?
Please read this article about iPop: secretsofatalentmanager.blogspot.com/2014/08/should-i-pay-to-have-my-child-attend.html
@@ActingCareerCenter thank u so much take care
My main issue is that all successful UK actors live in London 🙁.
Hey Kurt,I am actually 18 years old guy from India.I have been interested in scriptwork and directing(I have some good ideas).I know it's hard to get chance in Hollywood from India (because I need to get us visa or green card).But Hollywood is also in Canada right(so I can get chance from there and to get Canadian green card is easy)and I can make a movie below 30 in Hollywood. How about my probabilities
Cool💓💓
