It was AWESOME to see you at the Cobra Kai trailer. I can’t wait for season 4!!!
For me the best example of luck will always be Anna Paquinn. She went to an audition of her sister because she didn’t want to go to school. Casting directors asked her to also make an audition and she did it. Anna booked the role, she made the movie and on her first role ever she won an Oscar. She became part of the X-men, was really famous and all because she didn’t want to go to school.
bro that’s insane
What are the odds, luck was definitely in her favour!
But did she have a job while she was doing that?
No not because she didn’t want to go to school, that’s not the only reason
What I tell my students: Every time you are in front of the camera or in stage GIVE YOUR 100%, we never know if that will be the "right moment, with the right people" that will bring you the perfect opportunity of your life.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I swear this guy is so motivational, everytime I watch one of Kurts videos it just inspires me! I gotta keep working on my craft so that I can “keep adding more tickets to my raffle” 💪🏽🔥🔥Amazing break down Kurt! Thank u for continuing to inspire and motivate us my friend🙏🏾
Agree! Thanks for existing, Kurt! 🤍
Indeed luck really is where opportunity meets preparation. There’s also the luck of landing the audition in the first place; some actors in the UK have 6 auditions a year while some their fellow actors have 6 per day. Mark Ruffalo stated it took him over 600 auditions to make his break…I will be well over 100 years old at my current rate of auditions by the time I hit 600…lol…that said - stay frosty, keep on your game (read, stay fit, watch plays and films, allow yourself to be inspired, be open to new experiences), be thankful to be pursuing your dream (that’s a big dose of luck right there)…then good things can & will happen :-)
Hey Kurt! I’ve been watching your videos ever since I realized I wanted to be an actor and it’s helped me so much along the way. Last week I had my first audition for a lead role in a TV show and I’m waiting on a callback right now, I wouldn’t be here without you. Thank you so much!!
update: I GOT A CALLBACK!!!!!!
Wow 👏congrats for getting a call back. What role u got, mind if u share it here?
Congrats! Did you book it?

Very original
Yo bro just saw you in cobra kai. Amazing work bro know you worked hard for it
Thank you again. It does take LUCK to have a show become a hit! We prepare by training, working hard, and networking. Then we cross our fingers.
The more prepared I am, the luckier I get.
Thank you Kurt! I’ve been watching your videos since I finally decided to pursue acting back in 2020. All of your helpful advice has helped me so much throughout this journey! Wish you great abundance of success in your career, happy holidays! ❄️ ⛄️
I’ve been acting for about 18 months and your channel has been infinitely helpful. I take classes as well and between those two sources, I’ve learned tons. You are clearly the most helpful acting channel on TH-cam. Thanks for all you do!!!!
Have you ever booked any?
@@trinity-qn1jj I’ve booked about a dozen projects since I started. So far I’ve gotten every gig off of Backstage. Several of my classmates use Actors Access as well but I’ve been able to stay plenty busy with Backstage. Hope that helps.
@@JohnBradydoesstuff it helps a ton, thank you!!
Good luck on the show, wish you much success. I’m barely starting my acting career, hopefully it turns out great for me. Your videos are so informative and I feel like I will have a real chance! Thank you for content.
I loved how you explained this! Makes a lot of sense and I agree! 🤗
Loved the acting in the new Cobra Kai season!
Love this, Kurt! Way to spread the good word.
I think those who r inborn good looking will become popular actor....
I am afraid of my look
Sry for poor English
If possible plz do reply
I just enrolled in Houde School of Acting and hope to be as good as you one day ! Thanks for the inspiration and motivation Kurt. Keep killing it !
Kurt, I love your humility in showing the nuances that many would gloss over. Your page has been a huge help for me to try my hand at acting. Your page has planted the seed for me and I’m very thankful for it.
I refresh my subscription feed everyday to see if you have a new upload! Can’t wait to watch this and take notes ✍🏻
I was just walking down the street to the store the other day and thinking about this very same thing. Thinking that it's almost like playing the lottery except that you have to have some degree of skill (training etc) to even get a ticket to play in this lottery. It's really a game of skill AND luck. Kind of like playing Gin Rummy.
Exactly.
BTW genuinely curious....what roles/films or work have you done? Interested in your experience. But totally understand if you don't want to share for identity purposes
I will make every single member of my family watch your next project!! Even if it doesn’t stream in Brazil, I will found a way.. because you are a great actor and you do deserve recognition!! Thank you 🥰
I received my audition cheat sheet and it helped me a lot with my audition to get in this acting school, Thanks Kurt, hope to be on set with you one day🙏🏽
Love your content, it is really helpful and informative! ✨🙏🏾
Being an actor he is still doing these types of video specific to help youngsters it’s such a inspiration. I got a movie this year and I have no experience in acting so I search the video on TH-cam and this help me a lot thank you very much . Watching from China
Love this video thank you! So true to many things, not just acting
What a genuine nice person you are! Thank you!
As always, Kurt, really great information. Thanks!
Hey,Kurt...really appreciate you and your acting guidance...#1 fan here!
I really appreciate what you do for us aspiring actors. Thank you.
It makes me sad to see such good advice not getting the attention you deserve but at the same time I like how connected you can be with your "fellow actors" keep up the work kurt its gunna pay off
Thank you so much for this video! I never thought of it this way. Makes me feel more in control of career
This is going to go a long way for me! Thank you!
Kurt, This is one video everyone should watch with an open mind. Luck is very much a part of acting career. Sometimes even your best audition will not win you the part just because you may look different to what the director has envisioned. We have to learn to be a lot more dispassionate about the outcome, once we have done our best work and gave our everything to the audition. Great advise.
While I have you @kurt, hoping to get some career advise. I have been getting lots of "Featured Extras" kind of roles lately, and they pay decently and I sometimes even great screen time. However, these are almost all TVCs and not scripted shows or movies. A fellow actor whom I met on a set says I should not be doing those parts as they dilute my brand value. He says once a casting director sees you in those parts, they can't get past that and will never give you meatier parts. So I should say not to everything until I land the big one.
Being in IT and knowing the career progression for most fields, this advise seems very odd to me. I always felt I need to climb up the ladder by doing the hard grunt work on the lower rungs, and eventually I will get that "promotion" to the next level.
I am very conflicted about this because that guy seems to be doing alright and he only does major TVCs. If you can shed some light on this and tell us what you think ....that'd be awesome.
Thank you so much, I failed to get acting classes basically online, but I learn alot from your vedios, blessings follow you as you continue to shade light on people like me that are starting this Carrier out passion
Love this video!!!
thanks!!! this is really helpful :)
You are popping up in all my favorite shows 😄👏🤸♀️
Good stuff Kurt! Love all your videos and insight. Also just saw you in one of the Dopesick episodes! Gotta individualize the doses 😉
Amazing video & great value! Also, when this shows comes out you better let us know because I’m gonna be running to watch it!
Kurt has a vid 🎉. I have been waiting patiently!
Kurt is really motivational and he tells us things that are really helpful thank you Kurt
I love the analogy of a raffle ticket! Such a helpful illustration! Best wishes to you on your show!
Awesome again Kurt- see you on set!!
Now I understand it so much more, thank you for teaching
Solid advice. Thank you!
all the best mate
Thank you Kurt! 🌷
I love that this is filmed in your cast from your trailer
Thank you for this amazing video
Love this content, I hope to work with you sometime although I’m just getting started in the game! But very nice info, greetings Kurt!!
Hey kurt i just saw u in the cobra kai season 4 trailer i cannot wait to watch it
Excellent advice!
wish you the best sir.
great video.. thanks
Amazing!!!
Thank you!!
Day by day I get more of a urge to become a actor, watch your vids to see the requirements of this but still don’t know we’re I could book or grow as a 14 year old but still keep a positive motive to becoming a character I could be playing appreciate the videos keep it up
#1 requirement: take acting classes.
Thanks for sharing.
i’ll tell u what i love watching movies or shows and then next thing i know u show up on screen. i’m like THATS KURT YUE!
this is crazy its so true just booked a small role on a big tv show
Much appreciated Kurt ✌
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Love all your diffrent videos and your doing good amazing work here on youtube begin you♥️♥️
The amount of luck to make it big in the entertainment industry is still large. Like 75% luck that is out of your control even with great headshots, resume and reels. It's just very oversaturated.
I've never seen Breaking Bad, but loved Malcolm in the Middle and he was great in that as well. I'm use to see him as comedic actor and he's amazing in serious dramas too. Love him.
Thank you
Kurt I love your videos and films you’re one of my idols and I’ve been watching these videos for about a year now. I really want to become an actor but I’m 14 in southwest Ohio in a small town. I don’t really know where to begin cause there’s nowhere I can go to start my career because I’m afraid to be judged by my family by not having a traditional job or a “ridiculous idea”. And my goal is to be the best actor of all time. Also I hop to meet you one day and work with you on a film. By the way I hope you have a merry Christmas.
Thanks Kurt, 50’s gives me hope!!!! 👍🏼🙈
I think those who r inborn good looking will become popular actor....
I am afraid of my look😔😔
Sry for poor English
If possible plz do reply
It's helpfull a lot for me 😍😍 I love it
Congratulations to 109000 followers here on TH-cam♥️♥️♥️🎉🎊♥️♥️♥️
Wow thanks your videos are always helpful, I was wondering if maybe you could make a video telling us or explaining how and where do directors or producers find housing for actors
I started my acting journey 1 year ago and I’ve been in my first movie, modeling shoot, commercial, and 2 musicals!
Thank you for these videos just saw your channel and I love it your teaching me ways to become a better actor and I appreciate that and I also want to say I hope I can be at your level someday and maybe even do a movie together
I don't see myself as being an actor or becoming an actor (screenwriting is my thing) but I have enjoyed watching these videos and learning about things from the actor's perspective. I thought this discussion of luck was quite interesting. One thing I thought might be something to mention is if an actor is somehow able to find out about a project ahead of time and the quality of the material it might factor into how much luck it takes to audition for something that might advance their career. In other words, if an actor knows about two shows and one of them seems more compelling to them, putting themselves into the place of the viewer, the more compelling one might have a better chance of putting them into a successful part that might last.
Saw you on the cobra Kai trailer I hope the new season 4 is good
Hey I saw you in cobra Kai 5 trailer , congratulations
Right place at the right time
That’s so true! Do you sometimes say “ No “ to projects ? I guess what for you will not pass you bye?
Sometimes I do have to say No to projects for various reasons. But yes, I totally agree that what is for you will not pass you by
This makes sense now....
Just saw you in Cobra Kai, that baking class joke had me laughing
Hii Kurt! thank you for your videos, it's extremely helpful! I watched a video where it says that currently demo reels are going out of fashion and actors can use demo clips that they can selftape and use it instead of reels where they can do their best performance possible. It would be nice to know your opinion on this! Thanks!
These Videos are all the great info for anybody starting out or considering Acting . My Question is if you are going to use a Stage Name , should you start from Day 1 ? Thanx ; )
Here on 22-2-22 for good luck !
also gotta control diet, and grooming etc
Luck 🍀 is such an important part of it all..#1 is Nepotism, by far..people wouldn’t believe how many people in the business have family already in the business to give you a start..
#2 is who you know so get to networking!!
#3 is pure luck, right place right time..
#4 is talent.. LA and Atlanta are FULL of great actors waiting to get their break, they just haven’t been lucky yet..
I took to decision to do whatever I can to make my dream come true, and I promise one day I will see myself on the big screen. I wish everyone who reads this and have a big dream like this that you become successful and make that dream come true. You can do it, it's possible! Go for it!
I think if the movie or the show huge hit. It must be haved 3 elements:
Good script
Good direction
Deliver art and commercial
Thank you for the information this will help me along the way :) i also have a question for you. When someone forgets there line or starts laughing when they are not meant to does that have a concequence or somthing along those lines?
Yeah if you're on stage in front of a live audience it does. But if you're a PROFESSIONAL and you spent years in training it's less likely to happen but even when it does you'll know how to recover from it quickly if you're a trained professional.
I have literally had that happen while on stage; performing a Shakespearean play in front of a live audience; in Hollywood. I was horrified in that MOMENT but we got through it and the audience never even knew that I screwed up.
In film and television it's different because you can always just shoot the take again which you're going to do over and over again anyway but hopefully by the time you're filming you've done enough rehearsal that you've got it down.
Also in theater you'll usually do rehearsal for weeks before you perform in front of a live audience but the one I mentioned above, where I screwed up... I had gotten cast in the play at the last minute because one of the actors dropped out at the last minute. I had no rehearsal at all and by the time I had the script in my hands I literally had four hours to memorize "A Midsummer's Night Dream". It's a miracle that we got through it but when you take on something THAT challenging and that seemingly impossible - then you get through it... it's almost like boot camp for an actor. If you can get through that you can handle anything & it's also a cause for celebration once it's all over - which we definitely did. The entire cast went to a bar below the theater and spent the rest of the night partying. I gave you the short version of that story, I could have written another twenty pages.
A hit show can do all networking and exposure will open you up to bigger and better opportunities.. That’s when offers hit and your casts for projects ..
TRUE! Being new to the Industry, how do we start to connect with others inside the industry?
He just did a video about networking not long ago.
Here's my video about Networking: th-cam.com/video/o847rkMfPJI/w-d-xo.html
i’m going to be a A list actor
I'm in NYC for the first time for a week to see if I'm willing to commit to the city and it's pretty amazing so far. Definitely not driving though, ever. I am looking to see if there is any extras work I can do while I'm here.
Earlyyyy
Ur god
I'm new to acting I'm in school looking forward to acting with you
Your lighting is pretty cool… can u pls tell what equipment you are using for this video?
It's just the regular lighting in the trailer. I had no control over it actually
@@ActingCareerCenter Thank brother
Will Smith said : "And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy’s sleeping? I’m working" so you understand the secret?! 😄😄😄 he s so inspiring
What can I do to get more self tape requests? I think my head shot looks good (it's professional) but I only did one short film. Is a reel make it or break it? Other people seem to get tons of audition requests.
I'm sorry if you have one posted already, I don't see it if you do, but do you have a video on making your own demo reel? I know you have one where you talk about it, but is there anything els you have posted?
Hey Mr Kurt I have a Question. So I took acting/ voice acting classes from Middle school to High school. I Love to work as a Actor/ Voice actor could you help me with that?? I didnt go to college because of Funds and also with the issue that is still going on now! What do you recommend for where I can send my Demos too? If you have a person that I can do could you let me now? I'll like to know about this. Thanks I''ll wait for your reply back!!!!
Hey kurt if you book an audition but it’s being filmed in a different city/country would you have to pay for transport??
You're not going to get booked on a project that's filming in a different country. Not if you're an unknown actor - they are not going to buy you a plane ticket and hotel room which may cost more than the budget for their entire film and if they're working with a HUGE budget you're not even going to see that casting notice.
