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
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 🎬♥️

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!!!
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! :)
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
@@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❤️🙏
I’m 12, and just really want to act. My biggest inspiration is just seeing the casts of shows, and movies. They look like they’re having so much fun! I just feel like if I don’t act, I’ll regret it so much, because I definitely have the potential. The only thing stopping me is the fact that I live in a rural Australian town. If I ended up getting a part, I would have to travel somewhere, and stay there for a long time. It really sucks.
I literally have the same problem. I’m also 12 but I live in Romania and I really want to act but is such a big distance from here to America. I hope that I will get to opportunity and the courage to get to do what I want. But there is also my family. It literally sucks
Samee but dramas got me into this dream i have for more than a year now! Im so thankful and i hope i can achieve it! 💕 Gl to you and all other ppl that have this dream!
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 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 ♡
I am 12 years old and i’ve been wanting to be an actor since I was around 8, I plan to take acting classes when i’m in high school and eventually become an actor. This helps so much and thank you for being honest and saying things like “oh yeah acting is so easy you’ll be fine!” or just sugarcoating the truth .
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 💗
SHEEEEEEEE'S BAAAAAACCCCCKKKKKK!!! Thank goodness, I cried when you said you were taking a break from acting. We missed you! Welcome home.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😭😭😭😭😭
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 :))
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
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!
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!
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 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!
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 ☺️
I LOVEEE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!ive wanted to become an actress and this video helped me so much I am so grateful that u can help me. All your videos have helped me so much. Thank you, your the best!❤
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 remember starting acting when I was 7 and now I’m 12, I have tried for many shows and movies and almost got in, I learned how to break down a script because of your videos! I feel like I’ve gotten better by understanding how to break down the script, I used to just do acting for fun but when one of my dads friends invited me to watch how everything works back stage at it helped me a lot and helped me understand what acting actually is and it made me more passionate
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!
Actor from Oklahoma and Atlanta here. We all have menty b’s from time to time. As you get older and build a support system, they get easier to deal with. Stay strong. I’m still building my resume and working on that big break, I have had some awesome auditions. Let’s build the community up to support one another!
Once again thank you Makayla🔥🌹You are a godsend 🌟 I'll never give up on being an actress no matter how hard it becomes,I love being an artist. I hope to thank you inperson one day🦋😘
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.
Thank you Mikayla for posting this video. I'm learning so much. I wanted to be an actress for so long and this year I want to begin my acting journey. I know it can be hard and dark but with Jesus I'm going to push through it.😊
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 broke...I don't have a camera or experience.....And Acting is my dream job since I was a kid...But my parents aren't really supportive so....yeah...
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.❤❤❤
my parents never let me pursue my 10 year old dream of becoming a famous actress on Disney so now im upset with them because i couldnt audition to be annabeth in percy jackson-
@@gabrielaaus you can’t audition for Percy Jackson unless your under an agency sadly Rick said he won’t cast unless you have past acting experience and with an agency but if you still want to audition you can always search up agency’s near where you live and email them and send in a self tape of you reading sides and hopefully 🤞 if or when they contact you about your audition and they agree to work with you, you can talk to them about the Percy Jackson series (not all agencies answer quickly and can sometime take up to months to respond so patience is key and don’t give up😊😊)
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. 😂
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
This was very helpful! Im searching for acting classes near me but i havent found none! I am tempted to wing it and audition for a role but at the same time I want to be prepared. I think I'm more nervous then I want to admit to myself. I want to become an actor in movies. I know it will be hard and take time, but i just am going to focus on the good. I know having a cast family will be great. All the good stuff. Your such an influence on me to keep going so thank you so much
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😭
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 ✝️
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! ✨❤⚔
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😁
I’m 14, and I’ve wanted to act for a year now, inspired by theatre specifically. I’ve never done any acting before because I have terrible stage fright/social anxiety, i always fear I’d forget the lines, or be humiliated. But seeing people behind the scenes of films, and saying how they truly feel makes me feel a bit more comfortable. I haven’t taken Drama GCSE, so I’m kinda stuck rn! But this video was really helpful!
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!!
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 💗
Rejection is a normal part of life. That's what drives people to prove those, who don't see our value, wrong. Keep trying to prove to yourself and everyone else that you're valuable. If you want it badly enough you'll make it happen and endure all of the rejection. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. As a parent of three under the age of 13, I'm certain your parents will be proud of you regardless.
Same girl, Im 12, and i feel the same. Im scared to act in front of people, but i still want to give acting a shot, but my parents dont support me. Im just scared IN GENERAL
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!!
Ive only just discovered this account and im so happy about it. Your tips are so genuine and real i can truly understand and relate to you! I am 13 years old and an aspiring actor, i just took my FIRST STEP by auditioning for my school play and i got the role of Bet from Oliver! My drama teacher said that my work was better than my whole year group and even better than some of her year 11s. I just dont know how to get an agent yet, but as i watch your videos im sure ill find out. I really want to pursue this dream. Youre an inspiration!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
hi makayla! i just wanted to thank you for all you do! it’s hard for me to go to acting classes because i live in a small town with little to no acting opportunities, so your videos have been IMMENSELY helpful. my 2024 goal is to chase my dream of being an actress. i’m 13, so i feel like im too old to become a film actress but your content has been really motivating to me. anyways, i am so grateful that someone as knowledgeable as you, is sharing ways to enter the film industry. im excited to see you continue progressing in your career
you’re definitely not too old to start acting!! you can start at any age; keep praying and stay positive!! remember if you can’t take in person classes try online classes or even ones like her yt vids :)
im 14 and i feel like that too aha, like the younger you are the easier it is, and the older you are the less chance you have to be successful. whatever ima try my best anyway i mean didnt emma stone or someone start at 15?
im 13 as well and im trying to start off and its really hard for me especially as a young girl who wears the hijab, making it harder to find roles, and i live where no one films also cant move around with my huge family, so good luck we go this
Thank you so much for this Makayla!🌹💫 You are one of the people who inspired me to start background acting! 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!🌹💫
I have dreamed to become an actor for years but where I live in France, that has never appeared to be easy; also there isn't a big amount of people giving great advices to become an actor, so I am really glad I discovered your video today 😊
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!
I am so happy some people came to my school and I did an audition, now I’m pretty well known in Sweden as a child actor and I have been in the top series in Sweden
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)
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)
I get cringe and uncomfortable on romantic and crying movie, so its gonna me hard for me
I'm the same and thinking about getting a hypnotherapist
You have to perform a lot to get rid of it. ❤❤❤

Hi Makayla, I love your videos so much and they have helped me with starting my acting career thank you so much ,ILY

LITERALLY WAS BINGEING YOUR ACTING VIDEOS AND OMG RIGHT ON TIME GIRL 🙏🙏🙏
😆😆
Actor from Oklahoma and Atlanta here. We all have menty b’s from time to time. As you get older and build a support system, they get easier to deal with. Stay strong. I’m still building my resume and working on that big break, I have had some awesome auditions. Let’s build the community up to support one another!
Once again thank you Makayla🔥🌹You are a godsend 🌟 I'll never give up on being an actress no matter how hard it becomes,I love being an artist. I hope to thank you inperson one day🦋😘
Resilience is key ❤ you’ve got this and 2024 will bring great things for you.😊
@@MakaylaLysiak thank you❤️
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.
Thank you Mikayla for posting this video. I'm learning so much. I wanted to be an actress for so long and this year I want to begin my acting journey. I know it can be hard and dark but with Jesus I'm going to push through it.😊
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 broke...I don't have a camera or experience.....And Acting is my dream job since I was a kid...But my parents aren't really supportive so....yeah...
Same I'm 12 and my parents dont support me
Same
Im 12 and I dont know if my parents with pay more than $200
Congratulations....you have an origin story.
I’m 11 and I want to be an actor
You're literally glowing✨️ Also thanks for this helpful video!
Thank you! 😊
Hi! Glad you’re back!!!❤
Thank you for the warm welcome back!
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.❤❤❤
So Happy you are back!!! Not only do your videos inspire me, but I also learn so much from them!!
I'm so glad!
MAKAYLA W ANOTHER HELPFUL VIDEOOOO!! WE ALL APPRECIATE IT!
you are truly my inspiration and the reason why I want to start acting! everything you do for us helps soooo much. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
my parents never let me pursue my 10 year old dream of becoming a famous actress on Disney so now im upset with them because i couldnt audition to be annabeth in percy jackson-
how could you audition for percy jackson ? how can you see auditions ?
@@gabrielaaus I'd recommend looking at websites like Actorsaccess or Backstage if you don't have an agent
Given the recent scandals they probably saved you from being molested or groomed
@@gabrielaaus you can’t audition for Percy Jackson unless your under an agency sadly Rick said he won’t cast unless you have past acting experience and with an agency but if you still want to audition you can always search up agency’s near where you live and email them and send in a self tape of you reading sides and hopefully 🤞 if or when they contact you about your audition and they agree to work with you, you can talk to them about the Percy Jackson series (not all agencies answer quickly and can sometime take up to months to respond so patience is key and don’t give up😊😊)
Thank you so much for this video Makayla! I’m sure this will help a lot of people, and be put to good use
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!
You have helped me so much towards learning certain things to becoming and actress and I will never forget how amazing ur advice is
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'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 ❤❤❤
This was very helpful! Im searching for acting classes near me but i havent found none! I am tempted to wing it and audition for a role but at the same time I want to be prepared. I think I'm more nervous then I want to admit to myself. I want to become an actor in movies. I know it will be hard and take time, but i just am going to focus on the good. I know having a cast family will be great. All the good stuff. Your such an influence on me to keep going so thank you so much
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! 🩷
I’m so grateful I found your channel. This girl so gorgeous ❤
I would love to see a short film you produced!
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😭
Same
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 ❤
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 ✝️
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! ✨❤⚔
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😁
I’m 14, and I’ve wanted to act for a year now, inspired by theatre specifically. I’ve never done any acting before because I have terrible stage fright/social anxiety, i always fear I’d forget the lines, or be humiliated. But seeing people behind the scenes of films, and saying how they truly feel makes me feel a bit more comfortable. I haven’t taken Drama GCSE, so I’m kinda stuck rn! But this video was really helpful!
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!!
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 💗
..... Wow! Good work. Really beautifully done, through video M. BRAVO.
Thank you for keeping your content child-friendly
Hahaha re: the knife and blood in the first fifteen seconds 😂
OMG just in-time, one of my new year goals
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

Rejection is a normal part of life. That's what drives people to prove those, who don't see our value, wrong. Keep trying to prove to yourself and everyone else that you're valuable. If you want it badly enough you'll make it happen and endure all of the rejection. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. As a parent of three under the age of 13, I'm certain your parents will be proud of you regardless.
Same girl, Im 12, and i feel the same. Im scared to act in front of people, but i still want to give acting a shot, but my parents dont support me. Im just scared IN GENERAL
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.
It’s a lot of work but it is too amazing and too much of my dream to give up thank you for all the advice Makayla really appreciate it
Missed this so much! Love ya Makayla ♥️

I LOVE YOU SM MAKAYLA
Ive only just discovered this account and im so happy about it. Your tips are so genuine and real i can truly understand and relate to you! I am 13 years old and an aspiring actor, i just took my FIRST STEP by auditioning for my school play and i got the role of Bet from Oliver! My drama teacher said that my work was better than my whole year group and even better than some of her year 11s. I just dont know how to get an agent yet, but as i watch your videos im sure ill find out. I really want to pursue this dream. Youre an inspiration!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I want to start drama class my freshman year of highschool but I’m scared of what people would think of me like if I’m cringe or weird for joining
Loved this video, very helpful thanks!
So glad I could help 😊
There will be difficult paths I realize that and the road to be a professional actor will be hard but I will always give 110% percent
Keep your hopes up
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. ❤
You give the best advice! Ty for always giving tips and guidance ❤
I'm so glad to see that youre doing great, Makayla :) I love your vids so much and you inspire me every day :) ♥♥♥♥♥♥
I love the actor videos. Thanks for bringing it back love you ❤
Take her advise it is so correct that’s how I got into acting
😁
Hi
I NEEEED MORE videos like this bc I’m 16 and I wanna become an actor soo bad it’s been my passion for a long time so thank you for being helpful
hi makayla! i just wanted to thank you for all you do! it’s hard for me to go to acting classes because i live in a small town with little to no acting opportunities, so your videos have been IMMENSELY helpful. my 2024 goal is to chase my dream of being an actress. i’m 13, so i feel like im too old to become a film actress but your content has been really motivating to me. anyways, i am so grateful that someone as knowledgeable as you, is sharing ways to enter the film industry. im excited to see you continue progressing in your career
you’re definitely not too old to start acting!! you can start at any age; keep praying and stay positive!! remember if you can’t take in person classes try online classes or even ones like her yt vids :)
im 14 and i feel like that too aha, like the younger you are the easier it is, and the older you are the less chance you have to be successful. whatever ima try my best anyway i mean didnt emma stone or someone start at 15?
im 13 as well and im trying to start off and its really hard for me especially as a young girl who wears the hijab, making it harder to find roles, and i live where no one films also cant move around with my huge family, so good luck we go this
I LOVE YOUR VIDS AND I WAS LITERALLY THINKING ABOUT ACTING AND STUFF AND THIS GOT POSTED!!!
read your mind 🧠
Amazing you made a new updated video💜💜💜💜
Thank you Makayla you have helped me with acting so much you are the best❤❤

I have dreamed to become an actor for years but where I live in France, that has never appeared to be easy; also there isn't a big amount of people giving great advices to become an actor, so I am really glad I discovered your video today 😊
Mee too I’m living in France but i can’t see any opportunities here

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!

The girl is back!! good to see you, missed you.
I am so happy some people came to my school and I did an audition, now I’m pretty well known in Sweden as a child actor and I have been in the top series in Sweden
Hiii Makayla, I love your videos 😊❤ and also, you're really pretty!
