Way to go, Matt!! Keep celebrating your wins. I learn a lot from them. I tried your advice to take that moment before what is written and I booked a commercial. All the instructions said were to dance to a specific song. I thought everyone is going to do that, so I made them wait for it. Instead, I just acted as if I was waiting for a friend to show up and in boredom start the music playing. I then danced like no one was watching. The casting director loved it and told the client be sure you watch till the end. They loved it, I booked it. THANKS! Keep your wins coming.
That is so awesome. I saw you on Found and told my wife that's Matt. She said, "Do you know him?" I said yes, no, not exactly. I watch his TH-cam videos for acting tips. She just chuckled. Thanks for sharing your journey and inspiring us, fellow actors.
I am so grateful you share these stories!!! No ego AT ALL! It’s crucial to share success and knowledge so we know it’s possible!! I absolutely loved the movie as well, I got so excited when you came on screen! Thanks to you and Brooke for this page❤️
I can't lie, I had a really good audition (in person! ) last night and woke up to the notification for this video and it felt like I had two wins ! So exciting! Thank you for your lessons and congratulations! Also, I would love to see a video about the subject of having your own ideas, essentially being your own director in order to work with the director (be a team player) on set. I feel like this isn't talked about and that people new to set think "oh they'll tell me what to do." when it's not always the case.
An in person audition! Wow! How rare 😁 And to your suggestion, it’s something we cover sporadically across many videos on the channel, but a dedicated video is a good idea. Thanks!
Hi! Thank you for your amazing videos-I always love your content! I was wondering if you’d be open to having a training session with us on Zoom. Rooting for you all the way from Japan!
@ Thank you for responding! I just wanted to say that auditioning is really important to me. Here in Japan, it’s quite hard to find a good auditioning class. If you could offer any training session, I’d be so grateful! Alternatively, if you could do a Q&A session, that would also be amazing! 🌟
It can be tough early on in your career but always show up on set knowing that you earned it and that you belong there, and be ready to collaborate and be creative in the moment. This is what will impress the team, and possibly lead to those direct offers (which feel great). On another note, I've replaced the term "networking" with "building a reputation". It leads to a place of giving instead of asking.
Talking about the jobs you book is interesting, not an ego thing, like you said. Big congrats 🎉
Appreciate that. Thanks!

Same thing for me when I was watching The Menu at the cinema😅. Hopefully we will all have a great opportunity on screen soon😎!
Love the way you think!

You are so welcome, Ashley! Miss your face!
Well, you and Brooke are so talented, it's a blessing for a production to have either of you, IMO. 😊❤
Awww shucks. Thanks!
Be so good they can't ignore you.
Don't ever be afraid to take risks.
Big/huge takeaways. Thanks, Matt.
So glad you got value from it! Thanks, Yassin!

Hi!
Thank you for your amazing videos-I always love your content! I was wondering if you’d be open to having a training session with us on Zoom. Rooting for you all the way from Japan!
Thanks for watching! And that's an interesting question about the Zoom training. What topic(s) would be most important to you?

Congrats, Matt! FYI, I've tried to hate like a few of your posts, but unfortunately, I don't have it in me. Ha!
Phew! LOL!
I love reframing it as "building a reputation" and how that leads to giving instead of asking. Fantastic, Fred!
