We’re back with an updated version of how to become an actor! 🎭😇 Why do YOU want to join the industry?
Try something new. I love ❤️ Hollywood because they always keep me busy.
What if I go to school how could I be an actor if I go to school.
I want to join the industry because nothing has always been something I can stick to but when I heard acting it has never gone out of my mind and it’s something I love and my passion and something I think I am very good at.❤
To simply express myself through acting. It's always been a passion of mine!✨️
It’s always been my dream to be an actress but sadly for me it’s not easy at all ✨
No matter how difficult acting is. I am sticking with it.
Periot! 🩷 you’ve got this!
Frrrr
It sure beats withering away in a dialysis chair like I used to.
Fffff
Your name sound like someone that'd be on a Castlist (Adam Scott)
Getting rejection & hearing no is very hard & difficult but it doesn’t stop me feeling keep going. I already done about 6 movies and going to my first movie premiere. I can’t wait for more and what the future holds 🎬♥️
Congratulations! It just shows persistence is key! ❤
That’s awesome!! What movie premiere??
Just wanted to say, I've been watching your content for some time and was always on the fence about putting myself out there. Last year I finally took the steps to getting my headshots, I slapped together a voice over reel, wrote a reume based on your tips, and within a week of looking for an agent, I landed on an amazing agency in my city. In the last 4 months of being represented, I've managed to get plenty of auditions and even booked my first commercial (one live and two voice over). This year I'd like to put more effort into acting endeavours. Thanks love
THIS GAVE ME CHILLS! I’m so happy for you and congratulations!🎉 2024 will be amazing for you ❤
@MakaylaLysiak Thank you gorgeous!! And thank you for your amazing informative content, it really gave me the push I needed!!❤️❤️😭💫⭐️
Hey @@RayMona. I follow you and subscriber to your YT channel. I like your content. The lost media topics are so interesting
@@RayMona Wow that's very motivating, did you have to go to any acting lessons?
@batmansteel778 havent done any classes yet but id like to do some drop-ins this year!
I've wanted to become an actor my whole life! I come from a very artistic family and they are very supportive of me and recently I've found myself solidifying the idea of becoming an actress and your youtube channel has really motivated me!! Your acting tips are seriously so thoughtful and the fact that you're sharing them is awesome
Best of luck and I’m happy to hear that you have support!
@@MakaylaLysiak Thankyou!!
Omg this woman has helped me in ways that i cant even-
I feel honored 😇
@@MakaylaLysiakOMG thanks for replying, to go in detail your channel is just so welcoming and the video that you post effect so many people in a positive way it’s crazy. A question that I have though is how do I start my acting career outside of America where everything happens? I can say from personal interactions this is a big issue with people around the globe. Anywho, keep doing what your doing, it’s a big help❤️🙏
Mee to but I have to wipe up everytime😂😂😂
Acting is my DREAM!! It has been my dream since I was 12 (im 18 now) i would have tried to do it sooner but I never had the money or the time. Now that I work and I have a bit more freedom, i can finally try to make my dreams of becoming an actor come true. Ilysm Makayla, your videos are the best!!!
same and I'm also 18 now almost 19
Hope you get your dream job one day ❤️ I'm willing to be an actor as well but I guess all of us have chances to push through challenges.
@@ayoitzEli yes
good luck!!!!!!
Omg I was very relieved when I read this comment. I relate to this so much knowing that I really could have also started earlier but since im also 18 now, it saddens me how i just wasted my time not taking any steps further… however I wish everyone here all the luck with their path towards their dream career! :)
SHEEEEEEEE'S BAAAAAACCCCCKKKKKK!!! Thank goodness, I cried when you said you were taking a break from acting. We missed you! Welcome home.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😭😭😭😭😭
😆 I’m back!!!!
It’s my absolute DREAM job to be an actress! I’ve been in 3 middle school musicals with 2 leads, but I want to do more. I want to audition for ACTUAL theaters, movies, TV shows, etc. I really hope I can. Thank you so much for being so helpful to me and others!
I’ve wanted to act for a while and never bothered to go through with it until now. I started acting classes and hopefully I can get somewhere far with this! I wish everyone the best of luck starting their journey just like me!
i joined an agency and booked my first acting job back in october all because of your videos !!! i had been passionate about acting for a long time. i had been in plays but i wanted to move in front of a camera and didn't know how. i hadn't even taken any acting classes or anything when i booked that job, but your videos were so helpful !! (i currently am taking classes now) thank you for all your help ♡
Same! I'm in acting classes too rn 😊
@@YeonSoo_blue congratulations hope to see you on set one day
I've always loved watching my favorite actors in tv shows and movies. I have always known that acting is something I want to do, and your videos helped me get the confidence to just go for it. This year my goal is to stick with it no matter how hard it may get. Your videos have been helping me so much in may different ways. Thank you so much for making these kinds of videos!! I have a couple non-union auditions coming up soon, so wish me luck! Also if anyone has any advice for me that would be very much appreciated!
Have faith, keep persisting, remember to practice, remember that you can do anything if you set your mind to it. Consider going to college film school; also remember to stay faithful, keep praying, and never give up :))
@@HollyHope14 tyms! i'm only in high school right now though
same
I can only say if you mess up don’t be discouraged bc it’s normal to mess up just keep pushing through the audition and that’s gonna make you stand out because casting directors look for people who push through and finish no matter how many mistakes they make
If im being completely honest the thought of acting has always been so exciting and magical to me everytime i saw those kids on disney channel or other TV shows. Really hope i am like thsoe kids one day, this has always been my dream and want to work really hard towards it hence the ups and downs but overall your tips actually help a lot ☺️
Hey I’m into acting here! And the best advice I can give to someone just starting out is go for those extra opportunities, I have built a decent portfolio over these two past yrs doing extra work and I’m so grateful. I have had exposure to the film industry and being in front of cameras as well as meeting actors. Now I feel more prepared than ever to apply for and acting agency, I can’t wait!!!😍😍 for reference I’m in the UK and I have done work with, sky sports, Top boy and I recently did a prank show on Nella Roses tapped out.❤❤❤
i've been wanting to become an actress so much but the one and only thing that is stopping me is my social anxiety and shyness. (I would literally do anything to get rid of my social anxiety)
Makayla I have been watching you’re videos since I was 10 and I am now 14, it has been my dream to be an actor since I was young and I am happy to finally say that I am an actress, I have performed in multiple theatre shows in the west end and this year I am getting acting headshots to begin TV and film acting, I am honestly so grateful and inspired by you’re videos and would not have been able to do this without you’re channel 💗
Congratulations 🎉 this is amazing I’m so happy for you! More to come in 2024! 🥳
Thank you so much for more brilliant advice Makayla! You've been a big help on my acting journey and I am so grateful for all the ways benefit your viewers!
Ive always doubted myself to be an actor. You have always been my inspiration to acting. Thank you so much!❤️
MAKAYLA W ANOTHER HELPFUL VIDEOOOO!! WE ALL APPRECIATE IT!
THE TIMING OF THIS COULDNT BE BETTER TYSM MAKAYLAAA💕💕💕
Makayla I love your videos and you give me the motivation to keep going. I have so many days where I feel like I will never make it but then I remember my blessings like living in NYC and having supportive parents and having the resources I need like your videos that teach me so much 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
I'm not an actor, just a movie enthusiast. But I watched this video to the end. Makala has turned into quite a good visual storyteller. That and I find it very difficult to take my eyes off her. ❤
I also loved how how she very coyly dropped that Olvia Rodrigo acting collab into the edit. Smooth. 😂
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much for this video Makayla! I’m sure this will help a lot of people, and be put to good use
Thanks to all your videos over the years, I finally have built up my experience as well as confidence and submitted to my first out of a the couple agents and now waiting to hear back!
Missed this so much! Love ya Makayla ♥️
HI MAKAYLA. I just want to say I love your videos they are so helpful especially learning from someone who is in the industry. I have been starting my acting career and I have started to do auditions for films and stuff and I’m also doing acting classes. I’m so excited to start my career. I also want to say you are so talented and you inspire me so much. Thank you for helping me and others learning about the industry.
I'm also in film school right now! I can't wait to work with you one day. You have an honest soul, something we don't have enough in the entertainment industry.
Thank you so much for this, I really needed to hear it because I've been getting discouraged but now I'm going to stick to it ❤
What can you do to practice if you don’t have social media and are not able to take classes?? Also ik I already said this but love this video and your energy and honesty 💗
I'm so glad to see that youre doing great, Makayla :) I love your vids so much and you inspire me every day :) ♥♥♥♥♥♥

I truly appreciate all of your tips and the information that you share. It has helped me so much! Many, many blessings to you and thanks!🌹💫
Thank you so much for your advice!! I’ve wanted to act since I was a kid & was always afraid. During the pandemic I started acting on tiktok, & now it’s something that I’m fully pursuing, scared or not💫
I’m so grateful I found your channel. This girl so gorgeous ❤

You give the best advice! Ty for always giving tips and guidance ❤
I've been watching your videos since last year. I took your advice and joined Backstage. I got my first acting gig last month!
so happy to watch your videos ❤❤❤
In July, I got accepted into a university for a Batchelor of acting (which I begin in a couple weeks) and I thought I would let you know that at the start of this year when I truly wanted to figure out how to get into this industry, your videos had helped so much!!
Thank you so much for all the incredible tips! I am currently in a Film Production class and I am applying for the USC Summer Film Program! Thank you so much Makayla! ✨❤⚔
Omg makayla i missed your videos so much like you're kinda my medicine i need u see u videos every week lmao 😭
I LOVE YOU SM MAKAYLA
MAYALA ILYSM!!! I’ve been waiting for an acting video :) Ik this must have been hard for you to upload about acting again bc of all its put you through. I’m so happy 😀 if I ever get casted or get an interview, I’m telling everyone that you really helped me!!
OMG just in-time, one of my new year goals
Great video!!! One of the main reasons why I keep thinking that I could never be an actor is for two reasons:
1. I love my family way too much to not see them that often.
2. I don't think I could take the fame and everything that would be expected of me. I just wish I could act in movies and not have to deal with all the other stuff like the interviews and signings and fans finding me everywhere etc. I'm such an introvert lol😭
You have helped me so much towards learning certain things to becoming and actress and I will never forget how amazing ur advice is
The girl is back!! good to see you, missed you.
I’ve been watching your channel for years I’m currently in a performing arts college which is the most fun I’ve ever had and I can’t wait to continue my career outside of college😁
First! love your videos makayla 💜
SHES BACKKKK YAYYYYYYY
😆😆😆
Makayla I am so inspired by your journey! You have helped me, an aspiring actress at 15 years old, to go from parents completely avoiding the idea, to possibly getting an actual agent! Thank you so much!
Your amazing girl! Thank you for all you do once again!
I love how you just put yourself out there and give amazing advice to those who are looking for it! Thank you so much Makayla!😘

TYSM FOR THIS MAKAYLA I NEEDED THIS !! SO GLAD YOU’RE BACK!!!
Of course!! 😇
hey makayla! i love your videos SO MUCH. they are so helpful for me trying to start acting professionally. i was wondering if you could make a video on the details of stuff like a calling card, emailing and getting in contact with agencies (and how to do that without like messing up your chance because im not professional enough or i dont catch their eye, like how to word it and stuff). i hope this makes sense ahaha xx
Because of you, you helped me book my first movie in April from watching your videos. Thanks!
Congratulations! You’re talent got you there 😆🥳
Hey, welcome back Maka, been wondering about you. Happy new year
SO GOOD!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!! ✨✨✨
I been watching your channel for years! And I am 9 years old! And you are my role model! I have wanted to be in a movie since I was 6! I have done like millions of auditions, but I've never been in a movie or TV series! So I looking everywhere in my area for classes! But I can't find anything! 😢😢! But I won't give up! I'll keep looking!
Recommend taking a foundation class and a technique class x
Just want to say thank you so much for making all these tips videos! They really help! Also happy new year! :D
Happy new year and thanks for still supporting me! 🩷
Love your vids!!
I am taking classes and i will be signing with them soon its you to thank because i have been look at your videos for years thank you so much makayla.
You're literally glowing✨️ Also thanks for this helpful video!
Thank you! 😊
Love this!
I want to become an actress and luckily I have a supportive family I’ve done acting classes and I’m auditioning for my school play soon! Hopefully soon I will be able to get headshots and an agent and all that stuff but I’m taking it one step at a time and keeping it realistic
thisss
this is what i needed thank you ❤❤
Hi! Glad you’re back!!!❤
Thank you for the warm welcome back!
Makayla! I saw you on TV, you did such a good job! I almost couldn't tell it was you!❤
i really hope you read this makayla!! i can’t even explain how much you have helped me!! you are literally my role model! you are actually the most underated actress ever! you are soooooo talented 🤩 every time i watch your vids, i learn something new and it’s so helpful!!! i am a christian and my absolute dream is to be an actress! i love playing parts and leaving life behind me! i also love to sing! recently my parents just haven’t understood my passion for acting and everytime i bring it up they just yell at me. i really want to start auditioning for things nearby me but my parents also just don’t have time😭 i look for hours every day at casting calls, practicing scripts, singing, researching, and best of all watching your vids 🤩 my mom keeps telling me how she doesn’t get how i want to be an actress if i don’t even show it, but she doesn’t see any of what i do when i’m alone bc she is always at work. she won’t let me look at casting calls anymore bc she thinks it’s not good for me. practicing in my room is fun and all but i love to entertain people and i want to find ways to do that. so i just rlly want my parents to think about some stuff that would be possible with them having jobs. i can’t talk to them about this without starting to cry and then they just get way more mad at me. my parents also compare me to my older siblings bc my sister wanted to do acting but she never wanted to do it enough to continue it and now she is older so my mom is convinced that i’m gonna grow out of it. we are very different but i think my mom is just taking her experiences from raising her and doing the same with me. i love my parents and they love me, but i just wish they were more understanding sometimes. my dreammmm is to be on tv and i am ready to face all the challenges that comes with. i would just love to audition bc it gives me confidence about myself and makes me feel like i have hope. it would literally give me sm confidence and make my whole year if i got a gig with 1 line or a background character. it’s rlly hard for bc i feel like it’s what i want to do so terribly bad and everyone keeps telling me it’s just a phase. i love doing the musicals at my school but i always get so nervous for auditions and last year i got sick so the people who run it don’t rlly know me and i always do so bad at auditions bc my nerves just get to me😭 do you have any tips for auditions? my school only does 1 show a year, and they have favorites so i don’t rlly get many opportunities. most people that do them take singing lessons and do a lot of acting outside of school and i just longggg to do that! my bff always gets every acting or singing opportunity at my school and sometimes it’s just so frustrating and i don’t want to be jealous of her but it’s too hard sometimes. i support her in everything she does but she never encourages me in anything. my other friend is signing with an acting agency and she doesn’t even want to do acting outside of school, but her mom wants her to and i literaly would die to be in her postitionnnn. 😭 i’m sorry i sound soo dramatic and bratty. i definitely need to lean on God more. there has just been sm friend drama recently and i’ve been feeling rlly left out so that’s another reason why i’m this emotional rn😭a lot of people have it sm worse than me😭😭 pls reply any advice you have for me 🫶🏼 i literally love watching your vids and they inspire me smm to keep going!!! you are sooo sweet and kindd 🥹 i wish i could know you irl!!!! ilysmmm makaylaaa💗💗 God bless ✝️
This is some advice and im always in this mindset its okay to get rejected it builds up character the right project will come to you never give up EVER
..... Wow! Good work. Really beautifully done, through video M. BRAVO.
The first video and i love your energy😊
I've been watching your videos for 2 or more years now and I've got to say, you are really the best when it comes to giving advice. I have always wanted to become a hollywood actress but I just don't know if that's even possible anymore because I'm a Nigerian and I don't think my parents would ever agree, but I just can't give up. I still try and will continue to do so until I finally break through❤😢. Thank you so much Makayla ❤❤❤.
I've been watching your older content to become an actor! I'm excited to see where your channel goes with the acting vids in the future. If I become famous, which I will I'll shout you out as mr professor/mentor
You’ve got this and I’m happy I could help you with your career 😊🩷
I have that same exact mirror! I got it for Christmas! I’ve been acting for about a year or two and you are an amazing inspiration! I’ve loved your work ever since you started!
I want to become an actor. Im 11 years old. I am just scared that ill be rejected and my parents will lose hope in me.
That is 100% relatable all of it I’m 11 too
Same
It's funny because when I clicked on your video you said your name was Makayla, and so is mine, and I would love to become an actor. ❤
I’m auditioning for Hortensia off Matilda the musical shortly so I’m really grateful that you made this video!! Wish me luck ❤
Edit: OMG GUYS I GOT AMANDA!!
Good luck!!
