(Edit: The software I used was Pages on iMac, but this will work with any word editor!) 💕 Be sure to check out @hope.harrisonn on Instagram!☺️ What did you think of her monologue?
If you’re reading this, do not give up! I know you have baggages I know you might feel uncertain at times but isn’t this what you wanted to be? Being on screen, people watching you act! Don’t you want to shock your friends who are ABSOLUTELY UNKNOWN to your crazy passion for acting! You Got This!
I’ve been wanting to be an actress since I was 5 years old, and loads of people told me that it was just a dream, that it would never happen. Since they’ve said that I’ve been wanting to prove them wrong, and your channel is helping with that, so thank you! x
Same! I've always wanted to be an actress and I had the opportunity to be in a musical but people put me down and said it was a dream and I would never succeed I'm 13 and I've decided to start early so I can have more time in the future.
I’m 13 too, I’ve been in every play my school has done, and I just really want to achieve my dream and to show the people that said I couldn’t that I CAN and WILL do it
@Sophia H. When I did my first play I got so scared but my best friend who’s been there since day one was comforting me, encouraging me, and now I love it!
Thank you so much for all of the advice, seriously it is EXTREMELY helpful and you gave me really good insight into what to do and just great acting advice in general ahh thank you so much for the critique💓
I know I'm commenting on this video almost 4 years late, but I just wanted to say how helpful this is. I didn't start pursuing acting until after college so I feel like I'm at a disadvantage in a lot of ways. But it's so helpful to learn all these important aspects of the industry as a newcomer.
your page literally popped up randomly last week after me constantly thinking about my true dreams before life and adulthood got me good😭 I’m now 21 working & in college full time and finally exploring what life could be. I’m legit up to date with ur channel & you really truly did inspire me.
100th like! And I totally agree, she's amazing at what she does and is a major inspiration to us all, I know she might be still working on improving, but she is going greatttt!
Ahh Thank you soo much for this. I have always dreamed of acting and I thought it would impossible for someone with 0 experience. Your videos also inspire me to start focusing more on acting to make my dream happen. You're the best. :D
Here's my opinion on this monologue: + Good, she managed to learn it by heart. + she has an idea about the character's emotions - she's acting, there is lack of being real. -> to be real means to be you, to bring the character from within you, not from an idea of seeing the character as someone who's not you. - what does the character want? I don't feel it. Deside on what the character wants and try repeating it in the back of your mind while doing the monologue. And a little tip that I myslef had to learn as I myself tend to do a lot of facial expressions: don't overthink what's happening on your face. Calm down and stay true to the text and it'll come on it's own. Don't plan your facial expressions, because it stops you from being real and authentic. Salut! Ps: I'm not here to judge or say that your critique is bad, Makayla. I'm just adding my opinion.
I’m always searching how to become a great actress, and I wasn’t sure until YOU ✨🥺Your videos are super helpful to LEARN things I didn’t know I NEEDED 💖
For my first and only audition I ever did, I was unprepared, afraid, and felt down. After that I was scarred and I never thought I would achieve my fear 😭 Until today, LOVE your advice that you bring out ✨💖
new subscriber! omg u really give ACTUAL advice AND your funny!!! i really wanna be an actor but i didn’t know where to start like I don’t know anything about it 😂. i watched all ur videos so THANK GOD He led me to you!! my parents are 50/50 percent sure about the acting stuff but now i can show them all the advice you gave me! thanks again! really appreciate it! 👏 💕

YESSS acting classes make you know how to properly act different characters and naturally and to improvise, backstage has been putting out free acting classes and sample classes or you can get a personal trainer
I actually have quite a bit of experience so Inever watched this video, boy was that foolish. My resume was more theatrical styled and needed an update for sure. Even though I had experience, I was really struggling to get the formatting looking correct. I just followed along with you and took some of the font sizes down and it came beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this
i am 30 and watching this and i am just impressed on how well you navigate pages. my generation used to be the tech generation but now i feel like geriatric millennial ha ha! awesome video, makayla! many thanks!
Thank you so much! I'm COMPLETLEY new to acting and I'm planning to audition for a play soon. It feels very overwhelming, but this video helped me a lot and I feel a lot better about it now :)
This was so helpful. You helped me land my first two theatre roles! I was so ashamed to have an empty resume but you gave great advice to make it look professional and filled! :)
Makay! You're extreme sweet, I'm fascinated with your videos, they're extremely useful and fun :). I wish you the best and all the most magical in your acting career, and recieve back what you've given through your videos ❤ thank you so much 😁
1) thank you SO much. i went over my resume thing with my cousin(she works at a university for film and such and she has somewhat an experience in this) and she gave me a whole list of things that i have done that could help me in my resume. your video helped me so much to organize it. 2) i swear ive seen you somewhere. or like, a clone of you. you just look familiar lol
'Tis the best tutorial I've found yet-since I've only student film project experience-even though I only needed the first part. T'anks! I've sent my resume to my online instructor, with design inspired by yours!
I’m a high school dropout. I dropped out to do my dream job which is acting. Acting has been my dream job for as long as I could remember. The 1982 Annie movie inspired me. Even though I can’t sing and dance. Does it count if I was in a school play in second grade? I don’t remember the play and I know I got nervous and threw a fit because of how nervous I was back then, and even though I suffer from really bad anxiety, I want to be able to push myself out there and be comfortable around more people.
@@kathycox8426 hi, if I did multiple plays in elementary and middle school but I don’t know my theater teachers first name can I just put their last name on my resume? Ex( Mrs.Name)
Dear Makayla, Thank you so much for all of your videos! You help me and so many people with the dream and passion of acting get closer to our dream! I subscribed to you the first day I found your account and ever since you have helped me so much! I don’t know how to explain how you do it but it’s incredible! Whenever I need help with acting or need tips or something your account has exactly what Im looking for! I wouldn’t have known what to do if you weren’t there! I needed a resume and none of the other videos helped me but when I came to yours it was so easy and much more professional! Thank you again, from me and all of the other people who watch your account for tips on acting. :)
its always better to have taken classes, it really just gives you a better understanding of acting and gives you a bit of experience. it also shows that you are dedicated to the art. most cities offer some sort of acting classes/workshops, although I understand they may be expensive. you could always sign up for local theatre groups or school drama though. I hope this helps
Hey Jubi! You absolutely can! This is a business, but they know people have to start somewhere. Casting Directors are rooting for us. They want to find the next amazing actor. They definitely still take chances on newbies. Just be honest about your actual experience. You are a professional. You have nothing to be ashamed about this beginning...where we all started...unless your mom put you in stuff when you were an infant. haha If you still need help, I just did a video on this and have free no experience actor rèsumè templates. I would suggest start going for local plays at your school or church. And just as yes papa suggested, do you want to take classes. Luckily, there are a bunch of classes online that are generally cheaper right now then they would typically be. Try to find schools/classes, that have people who are actively going on auditions. All the best!
Thanks so much makayla right now I'm 15 but one day I'll be able to call myself a great actor and I say thanks for you and your videos your helping me become a great actor it's my year
I’ve always wanted to act !! But tbh little nervy about telling it to my parents and how they’ll be supportive about it so , any advice on that would rlly help !! 💗 thanks makalya :3
Hi Makayla! You help me so much every single day! So I have theater experience like 2 plays and a musical, but should I still put the training part after the theater section? Thank you so much you make my day better!
Thanks makayla I actually watched your videos and it helped me in acting. Few days ago I acted in a tv show. And I used your tips thanks. Keep up your good work.👍💕
I've hula hooped for 20+ minutes straight because me and a group of friends tried to see who could go longest then it was down to me and 1 other girl and i won !
i really want to become an actor. but i live in norway sadly. BUT, i’m going to move to england as soon as i turn 18. i also have anxiety, so acting would be quite hard for me. but i’m working on it :))
You got this andrine :P! Start performing in the plays and musicals your school offers. We all get nervous. It's an amazing feeling though when you take a step forward to go on stage even though your stomach is full of nerves. For me, they seem to magically do away. Acting, for a lot of people is also a form of therapy. Sometimes we can be more honest with how we really feel, because we are showing those emotions through a character. I know performing is therapeutic for me.
@@MakaylaLysiak your my role model and iam not gonna give up until I become an amazing actor like you I followed u on insta My username on insta: @ariellatoo Ilysm❤❤
I FOUND A PERFECT ROLE FOR ME BUT ALL MY EXPERIENCE IS ME IN FRONT OF A MIRROR edit: i've filmed the auditions, the official site said it was ok to not have experience, im pretty happy with the results and i think i might have a chance
@@MargotsWorld OMG I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS i didnt even get callbacks and the trailers kinda suck but i really wanna watch it and joke about how it would be better with me in it
Also how do we find classes if we don't have a lot of extra money to spend. Like I can wait but I'd like to start. I'm trying to get my permit so I can be an extra on stranger things or another show or something but I have to do some stuff
Sorry this is so late! But there are online classes you can take for like 10 vucks a month. Also if u camt afford that u can watch a movie and try t replicate them
If you go on backstage you can find so many auditions and acting classes. You can either choose the monthly or yearly plan. it is a great website! you should really try it.
hey, I got a question for you, My last name really doesn't have a ring, and it's like 3 syllables long, should I pick something different for a stage name or is that like WAY down the line? I'm guessing it needs to be a legit name for W-2 purposes etc right?
Hi Makayla I need some advice. I audition for a big project and they said I was selected for the project but that there is a $340 fee. I don't know if this is real. The email is a big producers name. I NEED HELP!
I agree with what everyone else is saying. Auditions are ALWAYS FREE! It's extremely rare that a producer would email you directly. But, if it was a legit producer they would not ask for money. And if you are in doubt, go to the audition with a friend. But NEVER pay for an audition.
I don't know that the nerves ever really go away. I feel like most actors would say, it's about doing it anyways. I remember one time I was so nervous, I could feel the know in my throat. That had NEVER happened before & I've performed in front of very large and small audiences. Those nerves definitely surprised me. I still gave it my best but I don't think it was the best I was capable of. But, I will never forget that experience. Sometimes, it is about the fear of failure. Just go in grateful that you get the chance to act in front of someone...instead of to yourself in the mirror ☺️ ... and go in there knowing, they brought you in because they see something in you. Let yourself shine. If after a good number of auditions, you are still so nervous that it is paralyzing you, then something else is going on that you would need to look at.
In the training section do you have to be doing the class at that time or can it be a class you've done but aren't in anymore? (sorry that was so complicated)
(Edit: The software I used was Pages on iMac, but this will work with any word editor!) 💕 Be sure to check out @hope.harrisonn on Instagram!☺️ What did you think of her monologue?

I wanted to ask on the resume the training part is it ok if I add online acting classes??
Thank you SO much for this information!!!❤️❤️❤️⚡️⚡️
Whats the website/ word document editor you used to make the resume in this video called. I cant find a good place to make my resume.

1 year later how's it goinggg
Give us details bestay ;)
@@MargotsWorld OMG I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS i didnt even get callbacks and the trailers kinda suck but i really wanna watch it and joke about how it would be better with me in it
Lowkey want to get into acting, lowkey don’t at the same time. But honestly you only live once so might as well!
Also how do we find classes if we don't have a lot of extra money to spend. Like I can wait but I'd like to start. I'm trying to get my permit so I can be an extra on stranger things or another show or something but I have to do some stuff
Sorry this is so late! But there are online classes you can take for like 10 vucks a month. Also if u camt afford that u can watch a movie and try t replicate them
@@kiaravipond tysm!
you could do school clubs, or even free masterclasses on UA-cam, it doesn't have to cost it just has to be experience
If you go on backstage you can find so many auditions and acting classes. You can either choose the monthly or yearly plan. it is a great website! you should really try it.
Awesome advise! Guys we should all learn from Makayla yall!
hey, I got a question for you, My last name really doesn't have a ring, and it's like 3 syllables long, should I pick something different for a stage name or is that like WAY down the line? I'm guessing it needs to be a legit name for W-2 purposes etc right?
yeah! sure! my name is Lara Burgon... I made the mistake of not doing a stage name :( I now have a agent and will have to remain "Burgon"
@@MUSIC-un5vg I think it has a ring to it!
@@MUSIC-un5vg I think that has a really nice ring to it. Mine unfortunately is Amaiya Foster
mines ishi vencio,, does that “have a ring” to it or does it sound to weird?
I respect that you made a new one. Thank you!
Hi Makayla I need some advice. I audition for a big project and they said I was selected for the project but that there is a $340 fee. I don't know if this is real. The email is a big producers name. I NEED HELP!
dont do it auditions are free and i think you get payed if you get a callback
The producer never mails
It is always an assistant of casting director
I agree with what everyone else is saying. Auditions are ALWAYS FREE! It's extremely rare that a producer would email you directly. But, if it was a legit producer they would not ask for money. And if you are in doubt, go to the audition with a friend. But NEVER pay for an audition.
Thanks so much! I needed a resume to apply for a job, but I do not have any experience! This really helped!
Can u plzz make a video on how to practice your acting at home
Yes! I’ll plan it out!🥰
Yeah that would be cool
Guurl you are incredible! Keep going, thank you for keep doing those videos for us! greetings from germany
If you’d have training and theater would you put those together or separately?
Found out you put them separately 😹
always separately! X
dee. Thank you!!
I am about to join a musical theatre course at university so this will be extremely helpful to use in the future. Thank you Makayla😁
How do you get rid of nerves when doing auditions
I don't know that the nerves ever really go away. I feel like most actors would say, it's about doing it anyways. I remember one time I was so nervous, I could feel the know in my throat. That had NEVER happened before & I've performed in front of very large and small audiences. Those nerves definitely surprised me. I still gave it my best but I don't think it was the best I was capable of. But, I will never forget that experience.
Sometimes, it is about the fear of failure. Just go in grateful that you get the chance to act in front of someone...instead of to yourself in the mirror ☺️ ... and go in there knowing, they brought you in because they see something in you. Let yourself shine. If after a good number of auditions, you are still so nervous that it is paralyzing you, then something else is going on that you would need to look at.
She made a video
Thank you for the help with the resume. You made it look super easy. I’m sooo inexperience with this field, once again, thank you so much
can we also send in some more comedy type of monologues?💕💕
Yes totally!
You literally read my mind.
In the training section do you have to be doing the class at that time or can it be a class you've done but aren't in anymore? (sorry that was so complicated)
it can be a class you've done :)
As Jasmine said, classes you have done. As you take more classes, over time you will be able to pick and choose which ones to list on your rèsumè.
you're so gold for this
This was exactly what I needed. I've been so lost on where to start with my acting career.
