When it comes to acting and singing, it’s very important that you pay attention to knowing what you are saying. Ultimately you must remember that you are still trying to tell a story and express your feelings, you just happen to be singing while saying it. Know that what you are saying is very important and make sure you carry that through into your performance. I’ve seen a lot of musical theater artists focus more on their vocal tone rather than telling the story they are speaking and this couldn’t be more wrong. You must focus on both and have them playing together simultaneously. Hope this helps 👍🏼
Your videos are helping me a lot so thank you for that. I was just wondering what I can do if I'm young but I want to act. Is there anything you can do when you're young and have no experience?
@@maddyfrench722 hey I know this is a late response but, just wanted to tell you that I live in a small town to! The re is so filming here so I was worried on how I was going to start acting in shows/movies so what I did is I went to 'backstage' this website shows you the nearest locations to where they are filming something or a project you can join. It is really helpful if you live in a small town since there won't be alot going on. You could always ask your parents (if your under age) to drive you somewhere and audition and you could maybe rent a hotel room. The last thing I wanna share is that you could always audition online send it in and then wajt to see their response. This way if they say yes then you can go but, if they say no then you saved a trip (it's ok if it happens everyone gets rejected sometimes but take it as experience) I hope this helps!
Don’t become an actor because you want to be “famous” or want a role in a new tv show.....do it because you want to, because you feel the need to act. Because it’s your life... not for fame and a celebrity status....
Exactly! you have to do something you really like and not just bcs you can "maybe" become famous, ngl its cool but its not the priority I mean there are a lot of disadvantages of being a celebrity that people don't even know. I personally just want to act bcs I just really like it for myself and I also like to entertain people so yea
Seeing how my brother wanted was almost in the business before he passed away. I never really had any other things that really catches my eye besides acting . I never had the best grades school isn’t my thing. So acting isn’t a choice for me. If it takes years or so be it i will not give up. Being famous is the least I’m worry about. But if it happens it happens
I’m a kid from LA and I aspire to be an actor like my dad and grandfather. Your videos are so helpful and are definitely helping me prep for the challenge of a career.
Sebastian stan (Bucky in the Marvel Cinematic Universe) moved here from Romania when he was young. He’s been in movies since the early 2000s but didn’t get his big break until 2014 :) he just kept trying and auditioning and building up his resume and look at him now. A marvel superhero!
Samuel L Jackson gave great advice in an interview. He said be cool to everyone and easy to work with. He mentioned how some writers eventually became in charge of who they cast in their own movies and remembered how nice Sam Jackson was to them. He gets phoned a lot.
I’ve been told recently that I could be an amazing actress by a lot of friends, and family but as I’ve looked into it I’ve found it’s a passion of mine but now I realize I can’t see myself doing anything but acting
@@izzy1277 If you wanna be an actor, you should check out Makayla Lysaik's channel. She's a teen actor and gives good information on the acting buisness
I’ve never thought of myself at very good at acting, but my drama teacher said I had a good mixture of hard work and talent. Whenever I watch myself I think I’m pretty bad, so should I try and audition for small parts in the school shows and see what other people my age Are like?
Absolutely! The only ways to get better are by getting more experience, watching others, and working hard to honestly evaluate yourself and specifically where you can get better, which will help with hating to watch yourself. As you learn more from your teachers, peers, and experience, you'll get better at recognizing where you actually are good and what specifically you can do to work on things. I hope that helps!
I’m 15, I’m tryna start acting, I wish I had decided what I wanted to do before corona😂😂 now I can’t do auditions🤦🏾♂️, and does anyone know if baltimore is a good place for auditions, or should I try the dc area?
I’d recommend looking up monologues on the internet and film yourself recording them! This is super helpful so you know what you need to improve on, especially if you post them on TH-cam
Right now is the best moment to work and improve on your acting, especially now since most of us have a lot more time on our hands. Keep your head up high and keep working hard 👍🏼
I’m a junior actor, I’m currently in a youth programme at a pretty popular theatre where I live and we have 4 shows in April! It’s my first real acting “job” so it’s going to be my tester for if I really want to do it when I’m older
I really really want to be an actress even though a lot of times i think that it’s impossible. But like I cant help about thinking about it and really appreciating and looking further about acting industry, like deep inside me i know I really want this. But when I start to think about the risk of this industry it really scares me but there’s a big part of me that I’m willing to sacrifice and go through all the hardships, rejections and all just to pursue acting. everyday i’m conditioning my self that being an actor is not a joke, that it is really really hard and its not about the fame, so I always ask myself if I’m really willing to accept this kind of life where there are no certainty. But great actors really inspires me when they share their journey to inspire people, most especially to actors who was been dormant in acting but still continues to act even though they are underrated or something like that. It’s hard to express what im feeling right now but I know I’ll be a geart actress and no matter what happen I’ll act not because of fame but because Acting is what I want and that its a big part of me
I dont have experiences, well I do act at school, like school projects, school activities/ programs, hahahaha but yeah even though that’s my only experience I want to do it even if its scary and even though I’m short (4’10) hahaha and Im not that goodlooking like girl celebrities but who cares right. I want to make this happen someday.
Can you do a series where you get your viewers to send in videos based of a script you post and you can help them with specific issues? I would love to do this because I’ve only done one thing in acting which was a few years ago. :) (P.S. I posted this comment on another video but I wasn’t sure if you would see it cause it was older)
I appreciate your content greatly 💖 I’m not sure if I wanna go the route of trying to become famous, I mainly just want to do acting work that’s meaningful and I’m proud of. Your channel is a blessing
I wanna be an actor but am scared if am able to make it in acting,and i just see myself acting in my imaginary world that i created on my own .thanks for the good advice and content
Why do I want to act? Yeah it was fame at first, but the acting itself (putting on different personalities and meeting other great people and creating great movies shows or plays) drew me in even more. I want the joy of being other people and knowing other people genuinely appreciate my effort and don’t just dismiss me. Also building friendships and such So I’m 15 and I have so much motivation to act but I don’t know how to go abt it. Could some people help me?
I really want to become an actress I love it it’s really fun ! I’ve done acting in school but I live in a small town with no acting opportunity’s other than the stuff in school. I don’t know what to do or even where to start :( this is what I really want !
Hey I’m 14 and acting is a new found passion of mine. Your videos have helped me a lot especially this one! During quarantine I’m continuing to practice but its hard 😅. All good things require hard work though. Anyways thank you for the valuable information!!!
Yeah, I really recommend people study theatre in college and pursue acting after they graduate. That way, if they don’t like it, you can get more opportunities to work in industries that require a bachelors or pursue a masters. It’s a lot harder going back to college when you’re a good deal older than the 18-22 year olds. Plus that’s a good time in life to have a college experience. I did acting and by my late 20’s realized it wasn’t working for me despite many great experiences and transitioned into becoming a therapist. It’s the reality of the arts.
I really wish to be an actor but I'm studying to be a vet aswell. I started practicing 2/3 monologues a day and I will start going to lessons aswell not only that I started doing in musicals I don't know what to do more I love your videos they help alot aswell ❣️
That's wonderful! Keep working hard! If I were to add something, I would check out your local colleges, especially if you have a film school nearby. Often, the students need actors from all different age ranges and nationalities, so anyone can do it and it'll get you some great on-camera experience. A lot of famous actors have started their careers in student films. Plus, sometimes you even get paid! I hope that helps!
Hello. Thank you for this video. I'm starting college in the fall, but also just contacted an angecy to pursue acting. The second I contacted them I thought I made a mistake because I thought it wasn't possible to go to school, and pursue acting at the same time. But after watching I feel so much better. Thanks.
Do I need to be doing theater in high school to be an actor? I’m planning on doing classes outside of school but our school doesn’t have a very good theater program and I don’t have any friends who do plays. Is classes outside of school enough?
One of the most important things I tell actors is that they must test it out first, (if they decide acting is the route they want to go down). If you don’t test it out, it’s the same equivalent of someone saying they want to be a professional chef, before ever attempting to make a meal or work in a heated/hurried kitchen. I would suggest taking classes, just for this point alone of testing it out and seeing if you truly enjoy it. Of course the better classes you can take is a plus. Classes outside of school may tend to be a little better, but it can really depend on the instructor. If your first step is to test it out, either one is fine. Hope this helps 👍🏼
This is so helpfull. Thank you for telling us the truth! Because a lot of actors don't seem to tell us the hard part of their career. And great video, by the way!
I am heavily considering Acting. I have always found it extremely amazing, I never did much of it myself in highschool, but I'm majoring in theatre in college. Thank you for the video, it was great.
Best thing ever, I started acting 2 months ago when I got the role for a movie, and the applaud when I do like a first take or something fills my eyes with tears of joy
Ok ... so perhaps this is a phase I don't know but i really need to just let it out cause I feel like you're the one who really gets it ... this acting thing has been in my mind for some time .... well I've always been fascinated by the movies I watch because of the story and I've always kept asking myself what it would be like if i were a part of it .... it really isn't for the money or fame but although to be honest long time ago I used to think about being am actor because of the respectable image it might give me ... but that reason wasn't genuine enough for me to consider acting so i left it .... it's only now that I realise my reasons are alot more genuine then they were last time cause now it's all about wanting to be a part of a story that moves me ... and the audience and me wanting to live in my own imaginations for once and just step away from reality and experience what someone else's life is like .... and seeing myself do some cool shit cause I've always imagined myself in dope ass situations since I was a kid😅😅. I'm not an expert in acting AT ALL .... I've just started you're literally the first source of knowledge that I've come across about acting and I'm fascinated by how you made acting sound so simple.... I'm 20 by the way ... just to let you know how bad i am in this .... well I'm a beginner so yeah .... so i don't know ... maybe your advice would be nice .... and seriously it would TREMENDOUSLY SPECTACULARLY AMAZING if u replied. I wanna hear your thoughts ... sorry if I sound too desperate ... 😁
I wanna be an actor so badly, and not only because of the fame, but because I just love acting and want it to be my career, if I do become famous, it’s just going to be a very nice bonus that I would love and I do want it to happen
Bro u are amazing and the information u give is priceless and u are giving it for free thats what makes u different from others keep up the good work bro👍👍
I'm from South Carolina (17 years old) I want to be an actor because I believe it's truly my passion and my calling💯👌 now I don't want to make it all about me so I want to take this time to say to ALL the aspiring actor's THAT YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU ARE DETERMINED TO SUCCEED! Let's motivate eachother to achieve our dreams and God bless each and everyone of you on your acting journeys✨🎬🎭🙂
Thank you soooo much for saying the degree part because I almost feel like people treasure those who completely drop out or quit their jobs which in its own right is admirable but it makes me feel like doing both is somehow gonna set me back when like u said it’s the OPPOSITE.
I never knew these points before this video but I had them all in a row and understood that I need a second plan, nothing is guaranteed, and that the relations matter :D now I know that they matter and I need to do a lot more
Who knew Millie bobby brown and Winona Rider were both gonna give up acting because they didn’t get a role they really wanted and then got it stranger things which because one of the biggest hits?? That my motivation there 🤣🤪🔥
They say there are a lot of people in Hollywood with talent. As a struggling actor for many years I thought so too as I saw many more skilled than I was. Until I had a real eye opening experience in a play I was in 20 years ago. From being in that play I discovered that actually nobody has much talent based on the performance of an actress in that play. This woman was the best actress I had ever seen. Her performance made all the academy award actresses I had ever seen in films put together look like nothing compared to this woman’s talent. We had rehearsed for months and a few days before the performance the lead actress got sick. The producers didn’t want to scrap the play so they held some quick auditions for a replacement. I was at the auditions when hundreds of actresses showed up. They were good but nothing special. One actress was given a ride by her older sister who sat watching the auditions. The director kept saying No, No you are playing an aging prostitute reflecting on the mistakes in her life. You are not believable. At a break the actress with the sister wanted to practice so she gave the script to her sister to work on it with her. It was like lightening once in a lifetime. The sister was unbelievable. Everyone, the director the producer the whole cast stopped and watched. The director asked the sister to read the lead part. She put the script down and said she didn’t need it as she had memorized it by listening to the women auditioning. She did the part cold with not having ever rehearsed it. It was unbelievable.Her acting, but it really was not acting, because she BECAME the prostitute, was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. After doing some of the lines she would stop and ask if it was ok if she did it again but change some of it because she said as written it was not how the real Lola would have responded. The writer was there and remarked she was actually improving the lines for the part. Everyone asked her how she did that. She said script only captured 80% of the character and when she acted and became the character she added the 20% that was missing to make Lola a whole person. The director immediately dismissed the other actresses auditioning for the part and said she had it. Then he said to her tell me the truth. NO actress in the entire world can do what you did without months of rehearsal but it was an original play never done before so she couldn’t have seen the script before. Everyone asked how did she do it. She said when she was 7 years old her mother took her to a broadway play. On seeing it once she memorized all the songs in it and performed them on the subway coming home. She said people clapped then asked her to do some of the speaking parts. She did the lead actress then did it again and added some lines because she said that was not what she thought the character would say. She then told everyone she went to see Sweeney Todd with her sister. She said the actress doing Mrs. Lovett was terrible and was just a funny caricature of the real Mrs. Lovett. The real person was a much darker evil person. Everyone then asked her to do Mrs. Lovett. She did and I have never been so scared in my whole life. I was afraid to turn my back on her after that because I was afraid. On the day of the performance of the play only about 20 people showed up and there was only one performance. This woman’s performance was earth shattering. All the actors and actresses in the play said they gave the best performance of their lives due to acting with her. I had some lines with her and it was the best acting I ever did in my life due to interacting with her. They said she lifted the whole company up. After the play all she could do was console her sister that she didn’t get the part. She told her sister I am a language teacher and do acting for fun. I have never seen anyone ever before or since with a hundredth of the acting talent this woman had. She has never been in a single movie or TV show. If she had she would put everybody to shame with her amazing unique talent.
Now That It's 2023 And Thanks To The Gifted And Talented Men And Women Who Have Created All Of These Video Editing Etc Apps And Software Now Becoming A Actor Actually Is A Promised Thing If You Go At It Independently.
I have been acting since I was 11 I’m now 17 and still haven’t gotten a role in any show I auditioned for or any local amateur musical and it makes me think I’m not good enough
Remember acting is a hard business to break into and is very very difficult when it comes to booking movies/Tv shows. For musicals, remember it doesn’t just come down to having the right acting skills, but also singing and dance. One question I would ask myself, if I was in your shoes is “how much am I practicing/working on my acting each day?” And answer this 100% truthfully. How much practice did you just get in yesterday? If you wanted to become a concert pianist, how long would you need to practice each day? A lot and you wouldn’t skip any days. Something that continues to keep me honest is asking the question “if I was a concert pianist would I be practicing enough?” Acting takes practice and time just like anything else. Hope this helps 👍🏼
Hey man, I’m in a state that isn’t California. I’ve recently noticed my passion of story telling. It took me a long time to realize it. I’ve realized I’m insanely passionate about acting. I’ve already started practicing and plan on joining an acting club come next semester of college. I’m about to be a fourth year and I’m majoring in computer science. I graduate in 5 years, but I want to pursue acting. I’m also 21. What’s your recommended plan of action? I was thinking to pursue and learn as much about acting while getting my degree, and then moving out to LA and using my degree to get a job while pursuing acting. So instead of getting a job here, I’d look for one in LA. Also you share the most raw advice for aspiring actors I have ever seen. I just started this and I can already see that you are just teaching what you know and don’t think you’re above anyone. It’s helpful and thanks for it all.
Hey man, thank you for the kind words I really appreciate it. It sounds like a solid plan. By having a degree you don’t have to worry as much as most do, when it comes to making living/surviving to put food on the table/pay next months rent. You save yourself some of those burdens. One thing I might suggest while you are pursuing your degree, is to try self submitting yourself for nation wide open casting calls (when they become available). Which means anyone can submit for the project without an agent. It’s easy enough to send in a video clip from where you’re at doing a scene. And then from there keep working on developing and improving your craft 👍🏼 Hope this helps!
So, I'm just 13 years old and since I was 5 I love acting and people tells me I'm good at it, but, I'm extremely shy, so, can someone give me tips on how to boost my confidence? I will appreciate them.
Lol I use to be the same way😁 don't worry it's completely normal. When it comes to acting, just give it your all and try your absolute best to master your character 👌 God bless you on your journey! I believe in you💯✨👍🙂
im 15 years old and I'm wanting to start acting I haven't told my parents yet and I really just wanna start acting asap I wanna try something new bc I can't keep doing what I do every day bc I will end up a loser and i really really enjoy watching Netflix shows and I find acting very interesting and it seems like fun so I'm gonna come back to this video in a year or so and tell how my acting careers went.
( Struggling SAG-ACTOR/ EAST COAST/) ... he is 100% right....i would just add a #4... Financial Backing.. Sometimes U have the thick skin..u have the grind..the personality..but u just flat out run out of money..So add " Flexible Income" to the list .but awesome channel 😃👍👍👍👍
Hi your vids are amazing!! I now finally have my moms permission to take acting classes, but there’s only one thats in my area and i am unable to go there cause its to expensive, i feel like this is my only shot at pursuing a career as an actress because i have no contact with any casting agency whatsoever so i don’t know what to do, do u have any tips?
I really really want to be an actor. I’ve been working and acting tword this goal since I was 6 (I’m 12) and for some reason I don’t know if I love acting! Is it my true passion, or do I just want fame; I don’t know. I want to love acting I want to be passionate about it not just because I want to famous. And I feel like so many other people and actors and born talented, as were I have to work for it. And I don’t know if that’s worth it, even if it is my dream if I’m just doing it for fame. I don’t know what to do.
Hey Mimo, glad the video helped you. I’ve actually already made a video on the Top 10 Talent Agencies. You can find the video in my “how to get an agent” playlist 👍🏼
There is no real age limit to becoming an actor. You’re actually still quite young. There are pros and cons of starting acting at different ages, but there is no limit. One of the mistakes that people tend to make though, is that they jump into acting to quick, before they’re even ready. If you were to pursue acting now, it would have to be a collective effort from both you and your parents. Hope this helps 👍🏼
Laura There's no age limit actually. You can be 50 and decide to start a career in acting and still get to play in lots of things and 14 is quite young
I’m around your age and I feel so pressured to get out early into acting if I want to get anywhere. I mean there are so many talented young actors and I’m not that young or talented and I just want to be an actor but.... (I’m 15)
Hey bro❤️ can u give any tips on how an non English man( indian guy) can get into Hollywood. Is it much harder for an indian person to get into Hollywood than the local people?
hey I m 15 i love acting and want to act in life. Also i know many people could be nervous or a little shy while auditioning like me. And sometimes being nervous or messing up in auditions isnt fun. Do you have any advices or anything to help with that situation?
I agree, but be careful to not let acting completely take over your life. It's important to keep time for yourself and your loved ones while still doing whatever you can to get into acting.
Get a trade over a degree. It's cheaper and gives you MUCH more flexibility in where and how often you work. And if you're good at almost any trade the money is better than most degrees. For instance I have qualifications as an Arborist. I can freelance or work for a company. Though I'm now long in the tooth so am concentrating on acting. Wish I'd concentrated on acting earlier as I really enjoy it and seem to be getting more and more work.
Hey would you please make a video on self tape You know that now quarantine is still going and that's mean you know that movies are postpone so i Think auditons are also postpone so would you please make video on self tape auditon so we do this audition at home and and also tell us how to send self tape auditon to casting direction please huge request sir please make a detail video. Dear sir🙏🙏🙏
I'm very interested in this industry and Im glad i found your videos. Im 23 and I dont have a lot of experiences here in our country, just a few minor roles in our school during college and i was also part of the official chorale group as well. Do you think it's too late for me to enroll in acting classes and consider this industry? I kinda regretted that I started to have an interest during my 20s.
Hey Ninna, there is no age limit to becoming an actor. My only suggestion is if you plan to pursue it, make sure you are ready to do so. Ready financially, in your skill set, and confidence to be able to handle the rejection that also comes with this business. Hope this helps!
I wanna be an actor so bad, and I didn’t tell my parents, coz I think they won’t agree, and even my friends, they all will say that I’m just not cut out to be an actor, and I don’t know what to do, (I’m 14 btw) also I really wanna be an actor, not for fame but because I genuinely think it’s fun and I really love it
Well, you don't have to tell your friends if you don't want to, but if you're living with your parents, you'll need them on your side. Tell them it's your dream and you're willing to do whatever it takes. If that means mowing lawns every weekend to pay for your acting classes, managing your time wisely so you can balance school and acting, or even learning how to budget and manage your money so you can afford to act, then that's what you'll do. When they see that you're wanting to do this because of your own ambition, they'll be way more willing to support you. Your parents will be your greatest ally in this journey. Show them you're willing to work for it, don't just tell them.
Hey, I am having trouble getting motivated to practice. I once was unsatisfied with myself when rehearsing lines, I was trying to make it sound right even though I was in the memorizing process. Anyway, since then, I called it negative work. I am trying to get back into acting and I am having trouble staying motivated, I don't know if acting is my passion or not, I made the bad idea for making the mindset that it should be a career. Any tips for staying motivated?
This can be a tricky point. When someone is really passionate about something, they tend to find the time when they can work. One thing that tends to help is building ones ability of putting more time in to practice more, is literally creating a schedule. For you, I’d suggest today writing out a weekly schedule for where you will fit times in to practice and stay honest to it. One way to benefit yourself, is to not over do the practice, put in an amount of time that is reasonable for you. By sticking to your schedule each day, you begins to build positive habits which become natural and feel less bothersome over time. Again put on your list a reasonable amount of time that you can ACTUALLY commit to. This helps build you into the habit of practicing. There is no real quick scheme to building motivation, but by working in this way and gradually seeing improvements, this can be asset that helps you. Cheers 👍🏼
Well, maybe you can do research for a few years until you’re a bit older, then ask your parents again. If they still don’t agree, you could try when you’re eighteen. Practicing would probably be the best option now if you’re parents don’t agree with it. Maybe put on a play or something with friends and it would show them how passionate you are about acting. Don’t give up!
I want to become an actor REALLY bad ik everyone says this but when I saw stranger things and saw how well the kids acted I just knew that’s just what I want to do but I’m in Ireland and I can’t find any schools :( and I’m shy but I’m going to keep trying because you only live once but I feel like I can’t act and I’m just going to set myself up for failure :(. I was actually going to audition for a movie because you just sent in a video at first so I don’t have to fly over to them but my mam said no :( but I get where she is coming from
What is a great book that teaches and tells you about the acting industry (the business side if you know what I mean)? I would really like to know the industry inside and out.
I've read a bit of Naked Cinema: Working with Actors by Sally Potter, which discusses some of the business side of the film industry from her experience as a director and producer. I hope this helps you!
Hi, I have a question. I want to go on acting college in UK, because I don´t have any acting education and experiences.. but then I would have the problem you said in this video.. idk should I go to other college and also go to some acting course? idk if I learn much from course. Love your videos, I just love how you want to help through your videos..♥ Sending love from EU!!
I suggest getting a degree of some sort. It can be in theater or something else, it really depends on what you prefer. For example if you got a degree in theater, after you’ve graduated you can either get a job teaching or go into substitute teaching (depending on what you prefer). Like I said, a degree of some sort is better than none. The degree you choose to get though, is up to you. Are there some degrees which are better than others? Yes, but again it depends on what you are interested in :) Hope this helps 👍🏼
who gets rejected for like 4 years... what about their self confidence? on what basis that person would continue? passion! and that person would get better as he goes on and more than dreaming hard one needs to train hard cuz every other job needs you to be trained.

When it comes to acting and singing, it’s very important that you pay attention to knowing what you are saying. Ultimately you must remember that you are still trying to tell a story and express your feelings, you just happen to be singing while saying it. Know that what you are saying is very important and make sure you carry that through into your performance.
I’ve seen a lot of musical theater artists focus more on their vocal tone rather than telling the story they are speaking and this couldn’t be more wrong. You must focus on both and have them playing together simultaneously. Hope this helps 👍🏼
Your videos are helping me a lot so thank you for that. I was just wondering what I can do if I'm young but I want to act. Is there anything you can do when you're young and have no experience?
I also want to join an acting class to get better but I don't live somewhere where movies or shows are filmed

Don’t become an actor because you want to be “famous” or want a role in a new tv show.....do it because you want to, because you feel the need to act. Because it’s your life... not for fame and a celebrity status....
Just me yess ,, i don’t even wanna be famous i just wanna act cuz it is fun and my favorite thing to do !!
Exactly! you have to do something you really like and not just bcs you can "maybe" become famous, ngl its cool but its not the priority I mean there are a lot of disadvantages of being a celebrity that people don't even know. I personally just want to act bcs I just really like it for myself and I also like to entertain people so yea
You cant be the best without being famous though... it inevitable
Mhm..it’s literally been my passion for l8ke..ever
I don't wanna do it for money and fame I wanna do it to test my actibg skills
Seeing how my brother wanted was almost in the business before he passed away. I never really had any other things that really catches my eye besides acting . I never had the best grades school isn’t my thing. So acting isn’t a choice for me. If it takes years or so be it i will not give up. Being famous is the least I’m worry about. But if it happens it happens
Aw! Good luck! You’ll make it someday, I know you will!
This is the attitude you definitely gotta have. Best of luck to you
I’m a kid from LA and I aspire to be an actor like my dad and grandfather. Your videos are so helpful and are definitely helping me prep for the challenge of a career.
Keep pushing forward, while working both hard and smart 👍🏼
Start as early as u can, you can do it.
Sebastian stan (Bucky in the Marvel Cinematic Universe) moved here from Romania when he was young. He’s been in movies since the early 2000s but didn’t get his big break until 2014 :) he just kept trying and auditioning and building up his resume and look at him now. A marvel superhero!
Thank you this inspired me 💖
Samuel L Jackson gave great advice in an interview. He said be cool to everyone and easy to work with. He mentioned how some writers eventually became in charge of who they cast in their own movies and remembered how nice Sam Jackson was to them. He gets phoned a lot.
I’ve been told recently that I could be an amazing actress by a lot of friends, and family but as I’ve looked into it I’ve found it’s a passion of mine but now I realize I can’t see myself doing anything but acting
Hi. I’m 12 and hope to be an actor soon. Could you maybe make a video for kid and teen actors?
I agree and am the same age

@@alisamunoz9894 Thanks for your advice. I bet you can still have a chance at your dreams too
@@izzy1277 If you wanna be an actor, you should check out Makayla Lysaik's channel. She's a teen actor and gives good information on the acting buisness
I’ve never thought of myself at very good at acting, but my drama teacher said I had a good mixture of hard work and talent. Whenever I watch myself I think I’m pretty bad, so should I try and audition for small parts in the school shows and see what other people my age Are like?
Absolutely! The only ways to get better are by getting more experience, watching others, and working hard to honestly evaluate yourself and specifically where you can get better, which will help with hating to watch yourself. As you learn more from your teachers, peers, and experience, you'll get better at recognizing where you actually are good and what specifically you can do to work on things. I hope that helps!
@@tylercox8915 Thanks!
@@henryallsebrook No problem!
Don't give up! Have faith in yourself.
You should! Practice makes perfect!
I’m 15, I’m tryna start acting, I wish I had decided what I wanted to do before corona😂😂 now I can’t do auditions🤦🏾♂️, and does anyone know if baltimore is a good place for auditions, or should I try the dc area?
don’t worry. youre still young and it’s never too late to start.
I’d recommend looking up monologues on the internet and film yourself recording them! This is super helpful so you know what you need to improve on, especially if you post them on TH-cam
Right now is the best moment to work and improve on your acting, especially now since most of us have a lot more time on our hands. Keep your head up high and keep working hard 👍🏼
Use this time to practice acting in some way
Right
I’m a junior actor, I’m currently in a youth programme at a pretty popular theatre where I live and we have 4 shows in April! It’s my first real acting “job” so it’s going to be my tester for if I really want to do it when I’m older
I really really want to be an actress even though a lot of times i think that it’s impossible. But like I cant help about thinking about it and really appreciating and looking further about acting industry, like deep inside me i know I really want this. But when I start to think about the risk of this industry it really scares me but there’s a big part of me that I’m willing to sacrifice and go through all the hardships, rejections and all just to pursue acting. everyday i’m conditioning my self that being an actor is not a joke, that it is really really hard and its not about the fame, so I always ask myself if I’m really willing to accept this kind of life where there are no certainty. But great actors really inspires me when they share their journey to inspire people, most especially to actors who was been dormant in acting but still continues to act even though they are underrated or something like that. It’s hard to express what im feeling right now but I know I’ll be a geart actress and no matter what happen I’ll act not because of fame but because Acting is what I want and that its a big part of me
I dont have experiences, well I do act at school, like school projects, school activities/ programs, hahahaha but yeah even though that’s my only experience I want to do it even if its scary and even though I’m short (4’10) hahaha and Im not that goodlooking like girl celebrities but who cares right. I want to make this happen someday.
Can you do a series where you get your viewers to send in videos based of a script you post and you can help them with specific issues? I would love to do this because I’ve only done one thing in acting which was a few years ago. :)
(P.S. I posted this comment on another video but I wasn’t sure if you would see it cause it was older)
I love that idea omg
Tarnia Thanks :)
Nice idea
I appreciate your content greatly 💖 I’m not sure if I wanna go the route of trying to become famous, I mainly just want to do acting work that’s meaningful and I’m proud of. Your channel is a blessing
I wanna be an actor but am scared if am able to make it in acting,and i just see myself acting in my imaginary world that i created on my own .thanks for the good advice and content
Same
amazing video, thank u! you're my favorite ❤️
😁
Why do I want to act? Yeah it was fame at first, but the acting itself (putting on different personalities and meeting other great people and creating great movies shows or plays) drew me in even more. I want the joy of being other people and knowing other people genuinely appreciate my effort and don’t just dismiss me. Also building friendships and such
So I’m 15 and I have so much motivation to act but I don’t know how to go abt it. Could some people help me?
This!!!! Honestly take acting classes and start building your resume! The acting industry is competing so rejections is common but get out there!!!!
@@journeyofmylife2103 thanks for your enthusiasm :)
I really want to become an actress I love it it’s really fun ! I’ve done acting in school but I live in a small town with no acting opportunity’s other than the stuff in school. I don’t know what to do or even where to start :( this is what I really want !
Nothing is possible without hard work and struggle 😀
Hey I’m 14 and acting is a new found passion of mine. Your videos have helped me a lot especially this one! During quarantine I’m continuing to practice but its hard 😅. All good things require hard work though. Anyways thank you for the valuable information!!!
im the same, im 14 and i want to be an actress!
Yeah, I really recommend people study theatre in college and pursue acting after they graduate. That way, if they don’t like it, you can get more opportunities to work in industries that require a bachelors or pursue a masters. It’s a lot harder going back to college when you’re a good deal older than the 18-22 year olds. Plus that’s a good time in life to have a college experience.
I did acting and by my late 20’s realized it wasn’t working for me despite many great experiences and transitioned into becoming a therapist. It’s the reality of the arts.
I really wish to be an actor but I'm studying to be a vet aswell. I started practicing 2/3 monologues a day and I will start going to lessons aswell not only that I started doing in musicals I don't know what to do more I love your videos they help alot aswell ❣️
That's wonderful! Keep working hard! If I were to add something, I would check out your local colleges, especially if you have a film school nearby. Often, the students need actors from all different age ranges and nationalities, so anyone can do it and it'll get you some great on-camera experience. A lot of famous actors have started their careers in student films. Plus, sometimes you even get paid!
I hope that helps!
@@tylercox8915 thanks soo much 💕💕💕 I appreciate it I will definitely do it

This video couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you for these videos
Always glad to help whenever I can 😁👍🏼
Hello. Thank you for this video. I'm starting college in the fall, but also just contacted an angecy to pursue acting. The second I contacted them I thought I made a mistake because I thought it wasn't possible to go to school, and pursue acting at the same time. But after watching I feel so much better. Thanks.
Do I need to be doing theater in high school to be an actor? I’m planning on doing classes outside of school but our school doesn’t have a very good theater program and I don’t have any friends who do plays. Is classes outside of school enough?
One of the most important things I tell actors is that they must test it out first, (if they decide acting is the route they want to go down). If you don’t test it out, it’s the same equivalent of someone saying they want to be a professional chef, before ever attempting to make a meal or work in a heated/hurried kitchen. I would suggest taking classes, just for this point alone of testing it out and seeing if you truly enjoy it. Of course the better classes you can take is a plus. Classes outside of school may tend to be a little better, but it can really depend on the instructor. If your first step is to test it out, either one is fine. Hope this helps 👍🏼
The Actors Academy okay thank you I’ve been looking into some classes in my area and will definitely think abt doing plays in school
This is so helpfull. Thank you for telling us the truth! Because a lot of actors don't seem to tell us the hard part of their career. And great video, by the way!
I’m always glad to help :) there are two sides of a coin and each are very important to know :)
I am heavily considering Acting. I have always found it extremely amazing, I never did much of it myself in highschool, but I'm majoring in theatre in college. Thank you for the video, it was great.
Best thing ever, I started acting 2 months ago when I got the role for a movie, and the applaud when I do like a first take or something fills my eyes with tears of joy
Hi I'M kid from Africa I really love how your give our advice the way of life of acting is
Omg I just started to watch this channel videos and I just find more and more things about videos that could help me!!
:)
Ok ... so perhaps this is a phase I don't know but i really need to just let it out cause I feel like you're the one who really gets it ... this acting thing has been in my mind for some time .... well I've always been fascinated by the movies I watch because of the story and I've always kept asking myself what it would be like if i were a part of it .... it really isn't for the money or fame but although to be honest long time ago I used to think about being am actor because of the respectable image it might give me ... but that reason wasn't genuine enough for me to consider acting so i left it .... it's only now that I realise my reasons are alot more genuine then they were last time cause now it's all about wanting to be a part of a story that moves me ... and the audience and me wanting to live in my own imaginations for once and just step away from reality and experience what someone else's life is like .... and seeing myself do some cool shit cause I've always imagined myself in dope ass situations since I was a kid😅😅. I'm not an expert in acting AT ALL .... I've just started you're literally the first source of knowledge that I've come across about acting and I'm fascinated by how you made acting sound so simple.... I'm 20 by the way ... just to let you know how bad i am in this .... well I'm a beginner so yeah .... so i don't know ... maybe your advice would be nice .... and seriously it would TREMENDOUSLY SPECTACULARLY AMAZING if u replied. I wanna hear your thoughts ... sorry if I sound too desperate ... 😁
Happy 100k! Congrats!
Thanks!! 😁
The Actors Academy No problem!
I wanna be an actor so badly, and not only because of the fame, but because I just love acting and want it to be my career, if I do become famous, it’s just going to be a very nice bonus that I would love and I do want it to happen

Let's motivate eachother to achieve our dreams and God bless each and everyone of you on your acting journeys✨🎬🎭🙂
Thank you soooo much for saying the degree part because I almost feel like people treasure those who completely drop out or quit their jobs which in its own right is admirable but it makes me feel like doing both is somehow gonna set me back when like u said it’s the OPPOSITE.
I did all the schooling now I got to just get into the acting
thanks for the info:) love your vids

Can you do a video on how to improve and work on your craft as an actor/actress! Thanks luv the videos
I’d suggest taking a look at my playlist ‘Acting From Home PRACTICE”
They say there are a lot of people in Hollywood with talent. As a struggling actor for many years I thought so too as I saw many more skilled than I was. Until I had a real eye opening experience in a play I was in 20 years ago. From being in that play I discovered that actually nobody has much talent based on the performance of an actress in that play. This woman was the best actress I had ever seen. Her performance made all the academy award actresses I had ever seen in films put together look like nothing compared to this woman’s talent. We had rehearsed for months and a few days before the performance the lead actress got sick. The producers didn’t want to scrap the play so they held some quick auditions for a replacement. I was at the auditions when hundreds of actresses showed up. They were good but nothing special. One actress was given a ride by her older sister who sat watching the auditions. The director kept saying No, No you are playing an aging prostitute reflecting on the mistakes in her life. You are not believable. At a break the actress with the sister wanted to practice so she gave the script to her sister to work on it with her. It was like lightening once in a lifetime. The sister was unbelievable. Everyone, the director the producer the whole cast stopped and watched. The director asked the sister to read the lead part. She put the script down and said she didn’t need it as she had memorized it by listening to the women auditioning. She did the part cold with not having ever rehearsed it. It was unbelievable.Her acting, but it really was not acting, because she BECAME the prostitute, was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. After doing some of the lines she would stop and ask if it was ok if she did it again but change some of it because she said as written it was not how the real Lola would have responded. The writer was there and remarked she was actually improving the lines for the part. Everyone asked her how she did that. She said script only captured 80% of the character and when she acted and became the character she added the 20% that was missing to make Lola a whole person. The director immediately dismissed the other actresses auditioning for the part and said she had it. Then he said to her tell me the truth. NO actress in the entire world can do what you did without months of rehearsal but it was an original play never done before so she couldn’t have seen the script before. Everyone asked how did she do it. She said when she was 7 years old her mother took her to a broadway play. On seeing it once she memorized all the songs in it and performed them on the subway coming home. She said people clapped then asked her to do some of the speaking parts. She did the lead actress then did it again and added some lines because she said that was not what she thought the character would say. She then told everyone she went to see Sweeney Todd with her sister. She said the actress doing Mrs. Lovett was terrible and was just a funny caricature of the real Mrs. Lovett. The real person was a much darker evil person. Everyone then asked her to do Mrs. Lovett. She did and I have never been so scared in my whole life. I was afraid to turn my back on her after that because I was afraid. On the day of the performance of the play only about 20 people showed up and there was only one performance. This woman’s performance was earth shattering. All the actors and actresses in the play said they gave the best performance of their lives due to acting with her. I had some lines with her and it was the best acting I ever did in my life due to interacting with her. They said she lifted the whole company up. After the play all she could do was console her sister that she didn’t get the part. She told her sister I am a language teacher and do acting for fun. I have never seen anyone ever before or since with a hundredth of the acting talent this woman had. She has never been in a single movie or TV show. If she had she would put everybody to shame with her amazing unique talent.
Now That It's 2023 And Thanks To The Gifted And Talented Men And Women Who Have Created All Of These Video Editing Etc Apps And Software Now Becoming A Actor Actually Is A Promised Thing If You Go At It Independently.
Thank you so much for this. Acting makes me confident
i love your videos!!!!
I have been acting since I was 11 I’m now 17 and still haven’t gotten a role in any show I auditioned for or any local amateur musical and it makes me think I’m not good enough
Remember acting is a hard business to break into and is very very difficult when it comes to booking movies/Tv shows. For musicals, remember it doesn’t just come down to having the right acting skills, but also singing and dance. One question I would ask myself, if I was in your shoes is “how much am I practicing/working on my acting each day?” And answer this 100% truthfully. How much practice did you just get in yesterday? If you wanted to become a concert pianist, how long would you need to practice each day? A lot and you wouldn’t skip any days. Something that continues to keep me honest is asking the question “if I was a concert pianist would I be practicing enough?” Acting takes practice and time just like anything else.
Hope this helps 👍🏼
Hey man, I’m in a state that isn’t California. I’ve recently noticed my passion of story telling. It took me a long time to realize it. I’ve realized I’m insanely passionate about acting. I’ve already started practicing and plan on joining an acting club come next semester of college. I’m about to be a fourth year and I’m majoring in computer science. I graduate in 5 years, but I want to pursue acting. I’m also 21. What’s your recommended plan of action? I was thinking to pursue and learn as much about acting while getting my degree, and then moving out to LA and using my degree to get a job while pursuing acting. So instead of getting a job here, I’d look for one in LA. Also you share the most raw advice for aspiring actors I have ever seen. I just started this and I can already see that you are just teaching what you know and don’t think you’re above anyone. It’s helpful and thanks for it all.
Hey man, thank you for the kind words I really appreciate it. It sounds like a solid plan. By having a degree you don’t have to worry as much as most do, when it comes to making living/surviving to put food on the table/pay next months rent. You save yourself some of those burdens. One thing I might suggest while you are pursuing your degree, is to try self submitting yourself for nation wide open casting calls (when they become available). Which means anyone can submit for the project without an agent. It’s easy enough to send in a video clip from where you’re at doing a scene. And then from there keep working on developing and improving your craft 👍🏼
Hope this helps!
So, I'm just 13 years old and since I was 5 I love acting and people tells me I'm good at it, but, I'm extremely shy, so, can someone give me tips on how to boost my confidence? I will appreciate them.

What's it like trying to be an Hispanic actor? there aren't many in Hollywood which makes me question whether I should go this path
your videos are so amazing and helpful !
also did you play in any movie ? I would love to see it ^^
Hi your vids are amazing!! I now finally have my moms permission to take acting classes, but there’s only one thats in my area and i am unable to go there cause its to expensive, i feel like this is my only shot at pursuing a career as an actress because i have no contact with any casting agency whatsoever so i don’t know what to do, do u have any tips?
I really really want to be an actor. I’ve been working and acting tword this goal since I was 6 (I’m 12) and for some reason I don’t know if I love acting! Is it my true passion, or do I just want fame; I don’t know. I want to love acting I want to be passionate about it not just because I want to famous. And I feel like so many other people and actors and born talented, as were I have to work for it. And I don’t know if that’s worth it, even if it is my dream if I’m just doing it for fame. I don’t know what to do.
This is where I’m thinking about at this moment !!
You should do something were you have people send you there audition tapes and judge or give advice on the scene
Upsetting but very true
Great advice about the possibilities , pros and cons.
Will you make a video about the top 10 agencies ?
Hey Mimo, glad the video helped you. I’ve actually already made a video on the Top 10 Talent Agencies. You can find the video in my “how to get an agent” playlist 👍🏼
@The Actors Academy Can you make a video on how to build relationships with Casting Directors, Directors, and Producers etc.?😊✅
how old were you when you started to act ? im asking because i dont know if im too old to start or not ( i am 14)
There is no real age limit to becoming an actor. You’re actually still quite young. There are pros and cons of starting acting at different ages, but there is no limit. One of the mistakes that people tend to make though, is that they jump into acting to quick, before they’re even ready. If you were to pursue acting now, it would have to be a collective effort from both you and your parents.
Hope this helps 👍🏼
Laura There's no age limit actually. You can be 50 and decide to start a career in acting and still get to play in lots of things and 14 is quite young
The Actors Academy thank you
I’m around your age and I feel so pressured to get out early into acting if I want to get anywhere. I mean there are so many talented young actors and I’m not that young or talented and I just want to be an actor but....
(I’m 15)
It's me again 😂 this was helpful I will remember this, you are a great channel!!
😂👍🏼 thanks man!
Will Smith once said “plan B is a Distraction from plan A”so just go for what you want don’t have something to fall back on

Hey bro❤️ can u give any tips on how an non English man( indian guy) can get into Hollywood. Is it much harder for an indian person to get into Hollywood than the local people?
hey I m 15 i love acting and want to act in life. Also i know many people could be nervous or a little shy while auditioning like me. And sometimes being nervous or messing up in auditions isnt fun. Do you have any advices or anything to help with that situation?
Great advice
Can an international actor come to LA for auditions and work in LA at the same time. Atleast low level jobs.
Thank u for this video, thsi helped me a lot. And can u answer me a question?
Can u come to USA from europe and start acting there?
I just know that I’m going to be a actress
No matter what happens, i wil always sacrifice anything to be an actress
AGREE but an actor
I agree, but be careful to not let acting completely take over your life. It's important to keep time for yourself and your loved ones while still doing whatever you can to get into acting.
Get a trade over a degree. It's cheaper and gives you MUCH more flexibility in where and how often you work. And if you're good at almost any trade the money is better than most degrees. For instance I have qualifications as an Arborist. I can freelance or work for a company. Though I'm now long in the tooth so am concentrating on acting. Wish I'd concentrated on acting earlier as I really enjoy it and seem to be getting more and more work.
Hey would you please make a video on self tape
You know that now quarantine is still going and that's mean you know that movies are postpone so i Think auditons are also postpone so would you please make video on self tape auditon so we do this audition at home and and also tell us how to send self tape auditon to casting direction please huge request sir please make a detail video. Dear sir🙏🙏🙏
I'm very interested in this industry and Im glad i found your videos. Im 23 and I dont have a lot of experiences here in our country, just a few minor roles in our school during college and i was also part of the official chorale group as well. Do you think it's too late for me to enroll in acting classes and consider this industry? I kinda regretted that I started to have an interest during my 20s.
Hey Ninna, there is no age limit to becoming an actor. My only suggestion is if you plan to pursue it, make sure you are ready to do so. Ready financially, in your skill set, and confidence to be able to handle the rejection that also comes with this business. Hope this helps!
@@TheActorsAcademy thank you very much ❤️❤️ let's see. 😊

Love this youtubechanel❤❤❤
I wanna be an actor so bad, and I didn’t tell my parents, coz I think they won’t agree, and even my friends, they all will say that I’m just not cut out to be an actor, and I don’t know what to do,
(I’m 14 btw) also I really wanna be an actor, not for fame but because I genuinely think it’s fun and I really love it
Kookie Kanz I feel you bc I’m having the same prob😬😬😬
Well, you don't have to tell your friends if you don't want to, but if you're living with your parents, you'll need them on your side. Tell them it's your dream and you're willing to do whatever it takes. If that means mowing lawns every weekend to pay for your acting classes, managing your time wisely so you can balance school and acting, or even learning how to budget and manage your money so you can afford to act, then that's what you'll do. When they see that you're wanting to do this because of your own ambition, they'll be way more willing to support you. Your parents will be your greatest ally in this journey. Show them you're willing to work for it, don't just tell them.
Tyler Cox thank you very much I needed this, I’ll tell them about it today or sum
@@knezinsa3522 Good luck! It may take some persistence, but I hope you can start pursuing your dream!
Hey, I am having trouble getting motivated to practice. I once was unsatisfied with myself when rehearsing lines, I was trying to make it sound right even though I was in the memorizing process. Anyway, since then, I called it negative work. I am trying to get back into acting and I am having trouble staying motivated, I don't know if acting is my passion or not, I made the bad idea for making the mindset that it should be a career. Any tips for staying motivated?
This can be a tricky point. When someone is really passionate about something, they tend to find the time when they can work. One thing that tends to help is building ones ability of putting more time in to practice more, is literally creating a schedule. For you, I’d suggest today writing out a weekly schedule for where you will fit times in to practice and stay honest to it. One way to benefit yourself, is to not over do the practice, put in an amount of time that is reasonable for you. By sticking to your schedule each day, you begins to build positive habits which become natural and feel less bothersome over time. Again put on your list a reasonable amount of time that you can ACTUALLY commit to.
This helps build you into the habit of practicing. There is no real quick scheme to building motivation, but by working in this way and gradually seeing improvements, this can be asset that helps you.
Cheers 👍🏼
@@TheActorsAcademy Thank you so much!
What if I live in a very small place and I’m young so I can’t move anywhere, also my parents aren’t going to move for me!!!! 😪
Well, maybe you can do research for a few years until you’re a bit older, then ask your parents again. If they still don’t agree, you could try when you’re eighteen. Practicing would probably be the best option now if you’re parents don’t agree with it. Maybe put on a play or something with friends and it would show them how passionate you are about acting. Don’t give up!
Hey I'm 21 years old with no acting experience whatsoever.
Is it to late to start?
I want to become an actor REALLY bad ik everyone says this but when I saw stranger things and saw how well the kids acted I just knew that’s just what I want to do but I’m in Ireland and I can’t find any schools :( and I’m shy but I’m going to keep trying because you only live once but I feel like I can’t act and I’m just going to set myself up for failure :(. I was actually going to audition for a movie because you just sent in a video at first so I don’t have to fly over to them but my mam said no :( but I get where she is coming from
I always wanted to dance and act ... I have such a fear of the camera... So i got a degree in cosmetology.
I wanna be an actress and I hope this will happen
What is a great book that teaches and tells you about the acting industry (the business side if you know what I mean)? I would really like to know the industry inside and out.
I've read a bit of Naked Cinema: Working with Actors by Sally Potter, which discusses some of the business side of the film industry from her experience as a director and producer. I hope this helps you!
Hi, I have a question. I want to go on acting college in UK, because I don´t have any acting education and experiences.. but then I would have the problem you said in this video.. idk should I go to other college and also go to some acting course? idk if I learn much from course. Love your videos, I just love how you want to help through your videos..♥ Sending love from EU!!
I suggest getting a degree of some sort. It can be in theater or something else, it really depends on what you prefer. For example if you got a degree in theater, after you’ve graduated you can either get a job teaching or go into substitute teaching (depending on what you prefer). Like I said, a degree of some sort is better than none. The degree you choose to get though, is up to you. Are there some degrees which are better than others? Yes, but again it depends on what you are interested in :)
Hope this helps 👍🏼
A quick question
Is it possible for me to keep auditioning and tryna hustle for like more than 10 years and not get the role?
Yes this a very possible factor. I’ve met actors in that situation
who gets rejected for like 4 years... what about their self confidence? on what basis that person would continue? passion! and that person would get better as he goes on and more than dreaming hard one needs to train hard cuz every other job needs you to be trained.
People should know acting is really competitive and 100 people audition for 1 role ..so.....
@@Jojosiwo well, I think any other job is competitive too .
