Thank you. Now, I can relax.

I am there now. I've been there for years.

How wonderful!

Love it! Thank you 😎👍 I just finished my first final at my first acting class, a two minute monologue ;) my big take away is working on my site lines.

If you're not failing on a regular basis, you're not pushing yourself hard enough. Not a direct quote, and I can't remember where I heard it, but I agree with it wholeheartedly. Also, the attempt at "perfection" in any creative endeavor, including acting, is a sure way to never reach your potential. The so-called failures in rehearsals, and even the "failures" or flubs in the audition or performance can provide the most magical of moments. Creativity is not a math problem; it's experiencing yourself in the story with all your human imperfections that creates the magic. The flawless word-perfect audition rarely books the role.

Interestingly enough, today is one of few days where I didn't fail haha. Was told by my agent I booked a co-star on a Lifetime movie. It's not much, but it had been a long time (2 full years) since I booked anything, so it feels like a victory.

i had to tape my audition a few more times then i wanted to last night because i was messing up on a word. it was annoying but i reminded myself not be be upset and we sent it in this morning.

For myself, I failed at being extroverted at a gathering over the weekend. I did start a chat with someone, but there were many other chances I had to step outside my shell.

I have been told, and also felt myself, that failure is a great teacher.

Agree, helpful tips and also the examples you shared. Oh, was it ok to Improve a couple words to that song?! Haha, just some humor.

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❤️

Thank you from this advice. I have been asked to do a pre scene audition for a commercial this is my first can you advise me what I need for this please. 😊

Okie watched the first 10 seconds

Well, you and Brooke are so talented, it's a blessing for a production to have either of you, IMO. 😊❤

Go Matt!!!! That’s so awesome 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Do you review someone’s self tape ?

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!

2 takes max

I watched this in theatres and I gasped when I recognised you!!!

That is so insightful on doing your own breakdown of yourself never thought of it that way

All my callbacks I was really relaxed and confident in the knowledge of the script in my self tape

I'm terrible at cold reads

Great tips my friend and I just want to say I see you know my friend Anne Alexander Seider I saw the episode where she interviewed you and your wife. Im taking her course Act Bold

Brilliant story!! 😅 You look hilarious !! 🎉🎉 Double congratulations

Great advise Matt... When I'm watching auditions, I notice the blinking if it is too much for sure. It does show as if they are reaching for their lines or not fully connected to the character. Also, they have lost me at the point, and I move on.

So cool Matt. Congratulations -- look forward to seeing it!!

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 UA-cam videos for acting tips. She just chuckled. Thanks for sharing your journey and inspiring us, fellow actors.

Be so good they can't ignore you. Don't ever be afraid to take risks. Big/huge takeaways. Thanks, Matt.

Congrats!!

Hello- I'm creating a sizzle reel to a 1-hour dramedy pilot that I wrote, geared towards HBO. It's in casting now. Disheartening to see a- listers & well-knowns taking guest stars, co stars. It's where we developmentals would cut our teeth. I always keep in mind that it's a business first, and the big players will always do what brings in revenue first, during any time in the industry not just now. So I'll carry on...

It's a blessing and some blessings like this should be talked about.

Great advice. I just got some new headshots, and I've been working on mock auditions using scenes from projects that Casting Directors I want to work with have cast in the past, so that when my team pitches to them, we will have a tailor made scene to show. It's been fun and I really don't feel that pressure about the industry being slow while I'm working on the scenes.

I learn a lot of very valuable information about the dramatic creative process watching your videos. Thank you sir!! One feedback i can provide is that in your more recent videos you have slowed down your delivery style which i think works better. But you are awesome.

Brilliant again .I watched all the way till the end .. furthermore I will likely watch this and your other videos quite a few more times. Gratitude to you sir!!

Amazing helpful advice - thank you.

Good insights and stories. Has to have been gratifying to collaborate in your troll scene...and hey, how many people have played a troll(squared)?!

congratulations! that's so awesome :)

VERY cool video today. Congrats, and so many good nuggets here.

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.

❤👊🙌👏👏👏👏👏 YES! Congrats! Always cheering for you guys...now from a few miles apart. ;)

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.

Congratulations, Matt!! Great Bookings!

ayyye my boy!

Haha brilliant seeing your risks with the takes. So useful to remind we are behind the wheel.

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.

This is AWESOME!!! Congrats man!

WTG Matt! I'm sure alot of us appreciate hearing about your wins. And a BOGO is always sweet congrats!

Talking about the jobs you book is interesting, not an ego thing, like you said. Big congrats 🎉

2 roles, thats pretty incredible. congrats!

I just have to memorize as I can’t see without my glasses and I don’t wear them for auditions 😞
