Hola Nina! My name is Abby Walsh and I just want to tell you that you were so inspirational, you help me so much as a fellow actor and I thank you for that. Now I’m only 13 but I love acting! Thank you for all your advice 😁 ( also Nina means girl in Spanish)
Thank you. I’m only 19 and I definitely have much improving to do. This is only one of my videos (one of the older ones). I definitely have gotten better since then. It’s definitely hard to hear constructive criticism but this is the business. Thanks again!
Definitely keep it up you’re young and remember less is more a lot of the time. When I first started auditioning I’d have zero energy so you’ve definitely got me beat there when I was your age. Great energy but think about how would you say this in real life. The camera is blunt, unforgiving and shows EVERYTHING. All in all, keep grinding you’re young I started at 21 (again you’ve got me beat). Find classes with great teachers who are going to push you and not sugar coat. If you haven’t studied a technique I’d study Meisner. It helped me a lot. Remember “Live TRUTHFULLY in imaginary circumstances”. Good Luck and don’t worry it’s always hard to hear constructive criticism on an art form you put time into.
@@joshuatamirpersonal8137 Much Appreciated! I’m working with an acting coach and have been improving very much. I definitely see my faults in this video! (Yikes makes me cringe watching it lol) I can always look at this and see how much I’ve grown! (And definitely always need realness)
Monologue critique: she is actually pretty good in my opinion, I think she would do great in theatre where you act a little bit less casual and she’d play funky and weird characters quite well
@@geethakarthikeyan1601 yeah in this case, camera acting is more casual and realistic. Whereas, theatre acting is more over the top. Don’t worry your English is great x
I know I'm supposed to be in class right now but I HAD to see this. I love your videos SO MUCH, just by watching you I want to become an actor now! I'm working on a example resume that I got from you! And I'm thinking of starting auditions for some things, but tysm for posting these videos! Hope you see this :)
Wow!!!! I'm so happy for you! My mom said she wants me to look on UA-cam and learn to act before classes. Did you take acting classes? What country? Lets chat on Gmail! roblox.potato@gmail.com I have high hopes for your future! Good luck :)
@@giannahurley3590 I’m so happy for you! You just said that your getting a manager soon and you just explained what I hope will happen with me when I join the one close to me.
I am so excited, I’ve been asking ( my parents ) for a while now to get more involved, and your videos always boost my confidence and make me more sure I can achieve it, thank you so much! Can’t wait for your next one! 💖
she has given me such good advice, and with her help I memorised all my lines in a couple days! like omg!. and I really hope we can act along side each other someday💕💜
I definitely understand her about DM the people who follow her💯And I’m always here for her videos because I’m trying so hard to start filming and working!
Heyyyy so I’ve been looking at TONS I’m telling u TONS of vids on acting and I just want to know like good acting classes and like schools that’s are good , I live in nyc which may be an good advantage! I want to start acting and modeling and singing ! I’ve seen ppl on Instagram post about this but I have no idea how to get started and this is litterly something I’m passionate about ! I actually took modeling classes when I was smaller and started acting/singing when I was small as well but then I stopped for a while and now that I’m 13 I realized I love doing that , what are classes I should take and like great agency’s u love ( Ik this is too much but if you know about barbizon , would u recommend it ?)
barbizon is a scam, agencies never ask for money upfront they take 10% from your paycheck. if an agency, like barbizon, asks you to pay them money upfront, RUN because that is a SCAM.
Classes are meant for you to improve over time. Don’t stress so much about being perfect/good at the start: just focus and give it your all while listening to your teacher(s)!
Wow! I just found this channel today, and I'm loving it! I found it while searching for, "Reacting To Myself On TV," videos. I just want to say (or type, in this instance) I love your content; keep doing a great job, and God bless you! P.S., I'm not particularly focused on an acting career; although, I'd be willing to try it out if given the opportunity to do so. Moreover, If I find myself being more intrigued to pursue such an endeavor, I don't see myself shying away from said interest (since I've always been somewhat interested in acting/voice recording). I just turned 17 years of age, by the way, so I'm saying all of this in a rather passive light. I know I've been pretty long-winded, but I said all of that to say that if you can get someone who was not particularly involved in the aforementioned field to become interested in your content, enough to even subscribe to your channel (which I have done), you are doing something right. Keep up the good work, remain humble, and everything else will be taken care of. Good day!
I definitely agree with you with your critic on her monologue. The energy was great but definitely needs to work on just making it more natural and better transitions.
So glad your back! Your videos have really helped me start working towards my dream of being an actress! If I have been taking lots of classes is it time to get an agent?
ive taken Drama in 6th-7th grade also drama in high school 9th-10th before taking IB theater in high school 11th-12th with all that i never thought id be good enough to consider myself an actor, just a school thespian. after seeing this its given me motivation to say i wont sell myself short.
Hey I literally got home from drama class trial, loved it so much and hopped straight onto you video I’ve literally seen every other one and had to get more I love all your tips
The lady at the end with the monologue didn't do but per se. It really depends on what she was auditioning for so to say. For theatre it would be great with her hyperexpressiveness. For film it is not so much but that's okay. Being able to have theatre down is great as well. Film/TV is a matter of toning it down and taking more time to listen to yourself and others opposing you in a scene or whatnot. Anyway, loved the video (: Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us
Great video, especially for young people. And I will be very interested to see your selfie headshot video. Re the monologue- it seemed like all the communication was happening at the very top of her body and not her whole body. It would have been nice to see more character introspection because our brains do so much talking with the parts of us that don’t make sounds.
agree with you on that monologue is a little over the top, but honestly i think it would be better suited for theatre, where you do need to be more over the top.
I have a question. If you dye your hair or your weight and height change, so you need to go back and change that on your resume and take a new headshot?
Not all can afford a photographer, make up artist and new clothes, i know is the best way to do it but we can also try some tips for the people who needs to take their own headshots.
hey makayla, can you do a vid about how to not over act? when recording a self tape should you talk with your hands, or can you touch your hair or touch your face ? 🤍
i graduated from jc a couple of years ago. don't be discouraged at all. jc is going to teach you a lot about the business. i'd honestly like to retake my classes because i was not prepared and was very intimidated by the more experienced people. i've learned a lot since then. just stay true to yourself.
I’m sorry if this makes no sense, and it might just be me, because my first language isn’t English, but I don’t get the exact difference between an agent and a manager… I know what an agent is, but I’m not entirely sure what a manager is??? 😅💖
I don't have instagram because I am only 11 so I had a question. How do go to an audition without an agent or manager and no experience. I already watched all of your videos but can we have a part two of that luv you (I am subcribed
I think despite the fact that she was super brave by posting this , I don’t believe it was the best. I am not very good but I do think I am better than that one performance. However I do think she was acting for either more theater or a kids show where everyone is super hyper realistic and loud.
Edit: SooOoo I may have lied... You CAN take your own headshots. Video coming soon on how to do so. 😊💕
That’s so great to hear! Thank you so much!🧡
Pumpkin 🎃
i wear glasses and i was wondering, could i take a headshot with my glasses or would i have to wear contacts ?
@@spotato7248 is there a theater program at your school?

i thought you were good
This was for “Good trouble”? A couple of months ago I did a scene with 3 of the main characters inside of a class. Apparently we were in detention.
Definitely keep it up you’re young and remember less is more a lot of the time. When I first started auditioning I’d have zero energy so you’ve definitely got me beat there when I was your age. Great energy but think about how would you say this in real life. The camera is blunt, unforgiving and shows EVERYTHING.

Monologue critique: she is actually pretty good in my opinion, I think she would do great in theatre where you act a little bit less casual and she’d play funky and weird characters quite well
But since in this case, she was acting for the camera, so i think you have to be more internal right?(Sorry English is not my first language)

@@Venomenal91 aww thanks. And 100% agree with you

I followed u on insta and gave u a paragraph saying how amazing u r xx❤️👉👈

Great to hear!🧡
Not all can afford a photographer, make up artist and new clothes, i know is the best way to do it but we can also try some tips for the people who needs to take their own headshots.
I started watchingth8s channel a few months ago and I have the main character in a movie
Makayla is a great acting 🎭 coach
I did my own head shots and my agent liked them so if you have a professional camera just take your own.
Hi Makayla!! You are so helpful!❤❤ your hair is beautiful💕💕 What camera do u use??
I learned some stuff, I like this 💚
Thx for being blunt
You are sooo pretty!
Can you use school photos for headshots?
I have no clue what to audition for. I did an open call for disney a while ago but I think Disney forgot about us
tthats why you need an agent, watch her other videos
Thanks for telling her that! You are a real one.😊💓
hey makayla, can you do a vid about how to not over act? when recording a self tape should you talk with your hands, or can you touch your hair or touch your face ? 🤍
Hi I just emailed a photographer thank u sm u inspire me
I'm signed to John Casablanca's and I'm kinda discouraged cause I've had auditions that I didn't get any advice
i graduated from jc a couple of years ago. don't be discouraged at all. jc is going to teach you a lot about the business. i'd honestly like to retake my classes because i was not prepared and was very intimidated by the more experienced people. i've learned a lot since then. just stay true to yourself.
My mom is a photographer for anyone who needs headshots
The bestttt

at first i thought it was amazing THEN I WAS LIKE OHHHH
I don't have instagram because I am only 11 so I had a question. How do go to an audition without an agent or manager and no experience. I already watched all of your videos but can we have a part two of that luv you (I am subcribed
Can you make a video on how to set up the best possible audition tape?
I love! The monologue review can you do a adult series? I never submitted Bc I thought it was only for child and teen actors
Send her yours!!!
Can u please include one of ur monologues in the vid to see what people look for.
Great idea! Sure!
Finding my photographer should be easy since i have one living in my house
I think despite the fact that she was super brave by posting this , I don’t believe it was the best. I am not very good but I do think I am better than that one performance. However I do think she was acting for either more theater or a kids show where everyone is super hyper realistic and loud.
