i did enjoy this video!! (: and i think it'd be interesting if you did a more in depth video of acting in general?? like more specific tips for crying on cue and stuff like that :D
As a 15 year old aspiring actress with parents who won’t help me get there(acting classes, head shots, etc) your videos help A LOT. At this point I’ve already had experience with short films for school, plays, and musicals. All I need are headshots and I’ll be ready to start my dream career, thank you :)
I feel terrible your parents is supposed to help with your dream career not theirs because it’s your life I know you most likely will never meet or know me but I support you 🤍
This is probably a long shot but I'd be down to do your headshots for you! I'm a 23 yr old aspiring photographer in Maryland who needs work on headshots and portraits. I need to build my portfolio and thats most important.
1. I wouldn’t give a callback just because i really didn’t feel the emotion you were trying to portray 2. No, just because you got distracted and it was kinda boring to watch 3. YES, I think that you had a LOT of potential within your acting and you placed your head in the setting as if you were in it ( if that makes sense)
1) yes, I would give you a callback. I feel that you were connected with the character and I thought it was good 2) No, I wouldn’t give you a callback. There were too many distractions and we couldn’t really hear you, also I feel that you weren’t all there, you know? 3) Yes, I would give you a callback. You were fully there, connected to the character and the quality was good.
Ok, can we just take a moment to appreciate how everything in this girl’s attitude towards her acting career (and towards life in general) is just right? “When it’s somebody’s time it’s their time”. Girl I admire you, your content it’s just so good!!!!
Omg, being on HSMTMTS is such a dream for me. One agent once said that I would be perfect for that show. And I hope that if they will make a 3rd season or something, I could audition for it. Just that would be amazing.
Makayla I love how you take constructive criticism with such strive, it’s so refreshing and enjoyable to see a young actress who is clearly passionate about her craft and willing to take every experience as a learning opportunity. I know you’ll make it far and hopefully one day I’ll be able to meet you, for I act too! 💖
This was so nice to see, I love to see people showing things they didn’t book. Love you so much, you have inspired me to keep going for my dream to be an actress. I would definitely have given you a callback for the first one, because I watched the show and you did just as good as the actual actress.
1. Yes! You had great energy especially for a PBS show! 2. I wouldn’t but only because of the audio, because you’re a great actress!! 3. Yes! You did very well!! Also thanks for always helping me with self tapes!
i needed to hear this!!! the " you dont have to do all the action moments, just even helping the audience feel its happening is enough.. " like with small gestures. for i have a scene that has too much movements. thank you! now i know exactly whatg to do, God bless you!
I wish the video was longer! This was so nice to see and so helpful! Being an actor can be so discouraging, since it's mostly a bunch of no's with the occasional yes. It's so encouraging to see you openly talk about the things you were rejected from, and the reality of the fact that a lot of casting is completely out of your control... Thank you!
A tip to other people who have struggles with noises. I would say try to project your voice so yours can possible go over the noise or go to a different quiet place. Projecting means basically speaking louder. Theater kids sometimes do this based on distance of the audience so their voice can still be heard.
I believe you did really well with the driving scene audition! But like you said, because you didn't get the part doesn't mean you're a bad actor. However I thought you did really well.
1. i would’ve given u a call back i feel like u portrayed the character well 2. nope i wouldn’t have give u a call back it was noisy u got distracted everything was just a no 3. TOTALLY the emotions were there we could see the actress in u the character was portrayed well everything was perfect!
I think for the High School musical audition you should've auditioned for Sofia Wylie Character Gina Porter because you kind of look just like her fr gurl
For number 2 i would've SO given you a callback!!!!! Tbh you did great job and your acting was on point! The only off thing was your background noise but that wasnt even your fault ( also i love you soooo much and i know as a person with parents who woudnt be caught dead helping me with acting lessons or anything, your tips really help and i cant wait to be like you!!)
A while back, there was a scam talent agency that had us do self-tape, and I remember being so happy when they texted back and said that they liked what I did, only to realize it was a scam. Ever since I tried reading a script, I’ve been hooked on becoming a real actor, and I’m trying to do as much research as possible! Your channel has helped so much and I just want to thank you 🥰❤️ !! Though I’m afraid I’m too old to begin acting as a 13 year old, and of what could happen if I poured my life fully into acting and ended up financially struggling, so I’m still trying to decide if I really want to be an actor. If you didn’t want to read all that because it’s rlly long and boring and blah blah, then bassically just Tysm for making you videos, they have been EXTREMELY helpful! :D ✨
I literally have the same struggle 😭. I'm also 13 and I've always wanted to become an actor but I'm scared I'm too old, scared about what will happen if I get a role, thinking if I'll still have time for school, etc. You are not alone. And I think I'm also scared of embarrassing myself soo yeah.🥸
@@pixxieq9333 noooo omg that’s so silly !! I hvent rlly gone at the actor dream in awhile as it was a quick ambition and a lot of the industry is just scams because it the dream business, it’s hard to find real advice out there. Good luck though ! I’m turning 14 on 8 days btw hehe :3 !!
Can you please do a “how to act in a place with no casting calls” or a video about “ how to be an actor with no strategies” love you mikayla! Big fan!🌈💖
#1. I know Odd Squad, have a few friends who got their start on it and would definitely give you a callback. The energy and delivery fit perfect with the atmosphere of the show. #2. Knowing the circumstances I would've absolutely given you a callback to see what you could really do free from the extenuating circumstances. Unfortunately, from the casting director's perspective, not knowing what we watching this do, I wouldn't be able to justify a callback for that tape as a standalone piece of work. #3. Yes to the callback. Plain and simple. You did great! Go Makayla! 🤩🎉Perfect audition for Nick. Great job overall! You are super talented! Thank you so much for making these videos for all of us actors who need your help! 😁
I relate to your videos so much!! 🙌🏽 You keep it so real and honest, it’s very rare to see people actually describing accurately what it’s like for us actors! 1. Yes, I think it was exact the right energy needed for young kids show! There might have been a few technical tweaks but you definitely understood the character super well. 2. I think it makes sense why this one was a miss, given the circumstances. ( I feel like for me the more I want a project the worse I do in the audition cause I’m more focused on being the right pick than being the character) 3. Yes, you brought a lot of fun unique choices that added life and humour to the scene! You definitely could be a Nickelodeon series regular 🙌🏽
1# yesss i would so give a callback. 2# i sadly wouldn't have :( 3# omg- if i was the casting director and i saw that- i would call you right away omg.
I watch ur vids all the time and take a lot of your critiques and advise into a lot of consideration while I film my auditions! I got around 2-3 callbacks in about a month that I could still possibly hear back from, using ur advice! I loved your last audition tape in this vid. There was definitely improvement throughout each of these tapes!❤️
1- Yes. I believe you did great, loved your energy. Maybe I wouldn’t cast you just based on this one, but would give you a callback for sure. 2- No. Only because of the audio and because you didn’t have so much energy. It makes sense knowing the background story of this self tape, but if I had just watched it randomly like a casting director, I wouldn’t even finish watching it. 3- Yes. It’s my favorite audition from the three you showed us. I have no comments, it was just incredible. I wanted to leave a side note for one thing you said about when not booking something maybe being sad, angry etc. But then when you book, other people would be like it. Long story short, I’ve been taking acting classes for 3 years now and every time I would audition I would either not get a callback or get very small roles. I’m taking about things locally, not big projects like yours. The only chances I had to get a lead were from homemade projects that I did with friends for fun. And I always felt like that, angry and asking “why didn’t I book this?”. However, I can happily say that I’ve finally booked my first lead role! I am so happy for this and I kinda of manifested it like you, but I am so happy and now it’s so clear for me why I hadn’t booked anything before. :)
the thing about getting the role is so true bc I can relate. This year I auditioned for the school play and auditioned for a rly small role but didn't get it (the auditions was us singing a song and thats it) later of of the two leads dropped out and I once again auditioned but didn't get it. the last time I continued and the witch had dropped out and I got it and (sry if im bragging) but I rocked it. I got the witch in Into The Woods
#1: well it depends on how good the people were that auditioned but probably yes #2 probably not just cuz the audition self tape is lowkey all over the place but if it worked in person and i would see how good you are and hear and stuff then yeah. #3: YESS IM OBSESSED
Waffle, I love how open you are about your experiences and you have helped me a lot. I am not aloud to act yet but when I am I will definitely be rewatching your videos to help me with my acting career ❤️
I love your videos so much omg, I’ve only submitted a self-tape once and part of me wants to really get into acting, and part of me doesn’t because I’m scared I’m not the right fit for jobs. Do you have any tips on how to get into it and gain confidence?
1. Yes I would give you a callback because you had energy and I was literally smiling the whole time whit watching. 2. I wouldn’t mind about the noise if it was good and if they casted someone a different race it was never going to happen. 3 yes yes yes perfect lighting no sounds background reader was clear putting your hands up as if it was on a wheel loved loved loved how you kinda jolted back when you braked and how your body moved when you went fast kinda like on a roller coasters out try to hold on and keep your back all the way to the seat. Anyways, props to you I loved this !
1.Callback- Critique: You could’ve gotten a little more out of your comfort zone to portray the emotion more, but you could’ve been exactly what they were looking for in a way. 2.No callback- Critique: honestly we all heard the situation so we know it wasnt to your best ability and of-course we know thats not the directors problem in the acting industry but honestly your strength to still want to do it and carrying out your work is inspiring and admirable! 3.Callback- Critique: You definitely showed GREAT emotion and performed to your best ability you knew the assignment and made it entertaining 💗💗
I have auditioned for a few movies in the past 2 years but only ever got one call back . I live in Ireland where they don't do as much filming here as other countries but I do audition when anything comes up. I hope to be an actress one day and ur videos really help thx
Lol it’s funny to see your past auditions... I have so many when I was younger where I don’t understand why I made a certain choice, or realize how much I have improved! (I would still give you a callback for all of them!!😊) It would have been funny if you were in High School Musical the Musical the Series because you would work with Olivia Rodrigo again... since you were both in New Girl!😂
“For us actors there are just roles that we want so so bad but it’s just not our time, it’s not the right thing for us” Brooo. I do acting for theater and live performances. I’m still a young teenager and my friends and family always tell me how talented I am, so when I always get cast as background characters it really brings my confidence down. I just auditioned a few weeks ago for Peter Pan A Musical Adventure and I wanted Peter or Mrs.Darling. What you said about this just helped me because I get so worried about my roles. Acting on stage and in film is what I want to do but even though I’m so young, I worry that I won’t ever get cast as a big role or get into college for this is all that’s on my resume is supporting roles. Thank you so much.
1st one I’d say no bc of the lack of confidence (although I can tell you’re a lot more confident now) 2nd one I’d say no just bc of the noise, but if the noise wasn’t there I’d offer you a call back 3rd one I felt like needed more energy to make it more comedic. Also even tho you looked old enough to drive in that audition, I know a lot of times casting directors choose actors who look substantially older to play younger characters for some weird reason, so maybe they thought you looked to young. Also please don’t take this as hate, that was not my intention, I just wanted to give my opinion since you asked for ours. Im not a casting director lol so don’t take my comment to heart. Wish you the best in your career. I watched your greys anatomy/station 19 vlog the other day and really enjoyed it. I used to act when I was younger but I haven’t acted in several years now, but I’m thinking about starting acting again soon😄
It’s crazy how obvious it is that a lot of acting is luck... you and Olivia Rodrigo were on a show together and now she’s in the series you also auditioned for but she got the role. I don’t mean to sound rude to you Maykayla, in fact my thoughts are quite the opposite: I think that you and Olivia have the same level of talent, but since casting isn’t based off of talent alone, you didn’t get the part. By the way I love your personality!! You always brighten my day 💕 also YOUR HAIRRRRR 😩 I’m so jealous
1. Definitely yes! You seemed super excited and I know the context of Odd Squad and think you portrayed a new eager “aGeNt” perfectly! 2. Mmm maybe or no… because it felt like ur character was changing personalities like one time ur nice and then ur bored and then ur mad and yes u did get distracted, but you did do good at some parts and honestly the audio did not bother me that much. 3. YES YES YES! I loved that one lol idek what show u were auditioning for (if u said it in the vid I’m sorry I don’t pay a lot of attention) but ur energy and personality were very straightforward and put out 👍
You did amazing on every single one! On the first one I would’ve called you back because it gives the same energy. On the second one I wouldn’t have called you back because it was boring and the emotions weren’t portrayed well enough. On the last one, YES. YES. YES. i loved it so so much. It had an amazing factor. You acted it out perfectly.
I am so passionate about acting I have been in a couple plays and I loved them, the feeling of being on stage is such a great feeling, it’s my dream career!❤️
#1: yes, lovely energy #2: no, only because I would look for people who would but effort into making it look as professional as possible (even with the unfortunate events that weren't your fault) #3: yes! very convincing AND you put in really good energy! definatly wasn't boring lol
Hope you enjoyed this video of me embarrassing myself.😅 What videos do you want me to make next?🤔💕

Bro- I remember watching odd squad so much when I was younger-
Same! Right as she said pbs show I immediately thought odd squad hahah
I remember watching it in first grade at indoor recess
Don't even get me started on odd todd 😭
my whole childhood
Me to-
1. I wouldn’t give a callback just because i really didn’t feel the emotion you were trying to portray
2. No, just because you got distracted and it was kinda boring to watch
3. YES, I think that you had a LOT of potential within your acting and you placed your head in the setting as if you were in it ( if that makes sense)
Thank you for voting! 😊💖 Love your reasoning!!👍🏽
@@MakaylaLysiak I adore how you take the constructive criticism!!! Also I really do see the potential!
I agree with all of that, also love the constructive criticism
The 3rd scene was really good
In the first audition show, literally EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER acted like that it was very weird but amusing??? Idk but yeah
1) yes, I would give you a callback. I feel that you were connected with the character and I thought it was good
2) No, I wouldn’t give you a callback. There were too many distractions and we couldn’t really hear you, also I feel that you weren’t all there, you know?
3) Yes, I would give you a callback. You were fully there, connected to the character and the quality was good.

I'm sorry but this industry has a ton of scam artists that go around telling aspiring actors that they have potential and saying the can help.
Nooo I rlly wany the original characters to be in season 3 bc I already hate the new characters in season 2 no hate sorry

1. Yes I would give you a callback because you had energy and I was literally smiling the whole time whit watching. 2. I wouldn’t mind about the noise if it was good and if they casted someone a different race it was never going to happen. 3 yes yes yes perfect lighting no sounds background reader was clear putting your hands up as if it was on a wheel loved loved loved how you kinda jolted back when you braked and how your body moved when you went fast kinda like on a roller coasters out try to hold on and keep your back all the way to the seat. Anyways, props to you I loved this !
The reenactment of your audition is Oscar worthy I loved it sm👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for helping me threw my acting journey in your UA-cam channel and Tiktok ❤️
Your welcome 😊💖
You're awesome but honestly I do love who they picked as Ashlyn. She's actually my favorite character lol. And I looooove Julia's voicee ♡
Girl! Your an amazing actor! So glad I found this video!
1.Callback- Critique: You could’ve gotten a little more out of your comfort zone to portray the emotion more, but you could’ve been exactly what they were looking for in a way.
2.No callback- Critique: honestly we all heard the situation so we know it wasnt to your best ability and of-course we know thats not the directors problem in the acting industry but honestly your strength to still want to do it and carrying out your work is inspiring and admirable!
3.Callback- Critique: You definitely showed GREAT emotion and performed to your best ability you knew the assignment and made it entertaining 💗💗
Hahaha I also got sent out for audition #3 and didn’t get a callback. I think the trailer for the season they filmed came out recently
Congrats on 100k makayla ❤️
Yes you should’ve got called back for audition tape #3 because it was really good
Aww thank you so so much!💖
I have auditioned for a few movies in the past 2 years but only ever got one call back . I live in Ireland where they don't do as much filming here as other countries but I do audition when anything comes up. I hope to be an actress one day and ur videos really help thx
Hiii. You’ve definitely improved and learned from mistakes! I love your videos and can’t wait do the next one to come out
oh my goshh that odd squad audition😭 i used to love that show you would’ve been awesome on it
Lol it’s funny to see your past auditions... I have so many when I was younger where I don’t understand why I made a certain choice, or realize how much I have improved! (I would still give you a callback for all of them!!😊)
It would have been funny if you were in High School Musical the Musical the Series because you would work with Olivia Rodrigo again... since you were both in New Girl!😂
“For us actors there are just roles that we want so so bad but it’s just not our time, it’s not the right thing for us”
Brooo. I do acting for theater and live performances. I’m still a young teenager and my friends and family always tell me how talented I am, so when I always get cast as background characters it really brings my confidence down. I just auditioned a few weeks ago for Peter Pan A Musical Adventure and I wanted Peter or Mrs.Darling. What you said about this just helped me because I get so worried about my roles. Acting on stage and in film is what I want to do but even though I’m so young, I worry that I won’t ever get cast as a big role or get into college for this is all that’s on my resume is supporting roles. Thank you so much.
It’s really weird seeing someone else in Anna’s place in the first one, considering she’s one of my favorite actresses. But you did great!
YOUR LITERALLY GORGEOUS
Oh my gosh you auditioned for Ashlyn!!
Yes I would’ve gave u a call back on the third one. I think u did great on that one!
I would give you a call back for the pbs one because my brother watches it and you would of actually been one of the better ones.
OMG CONGRATS FOR THE 100k 👑
The fact that she acts out her own stories👌👌👌👌👌
1st one I’d say no bc of the lack of confidence (although I can tell you’re a lot more confident now)
2nd one I’d say no just bc of the noise, but if the noise wasn’t there I’d offer you a call back
3rd one I felt like needed more energy to make it more comedic. Also even tho you looked old enough to drive in that audition, I know a lot of times casting directors choose actors who look substantially older to play younger characters for some weird reason, so maybe they thought you looked to young.
Also please don’t take this as hate, that was not my intention, I just wanted to give my opinion since you asked for ours. Im not a casting director lol so don’t take my comment to heart. Wish you the best in your career. I watched your greys anatomy/station 19 vlog the other day and really enjoyed it. I used to act when I was younger but I haven’t acted in several years now, but I’m thinking about starting acting again soon😄
It’s crazy how obvious it is that a lot of acting is luck... you and Olivia Rodrigo were on a show together and now she’s in the series you also auditioned for but she got the role. I don’t mean to sound rude to you Maykayla, in fact my thoughts are quite the opposite: I think that you and Olivia have the same level of talent, but since casting isn’t based off of talent alone, you didn’t get the part. By the way I love your personality!! You always brighten my day 💕 also YOUR HAIRRRRR 😩 I’m so jealous
I'm an actor, and I'm loving your content. So sincere, and relatable as an actor with experience. Great work!
1. Definitely yes! You seemed super excited and I know the context of Odd Squad and think you portrayed a new eager “aGeNt” perfectly!
2. Mmm maybe or no… because it felt like ur character was changing personalities like one time ur nice and then ur bored and then ur mad and yes u did get distracted, but you did do good at some parts and honestly the audio did not bother me that much.
3. YES YES YES! I loved that one lol idek what show u were auditioning for (if u said it in the vid I’m sorry I don’t pay a lot of attention) but ur energy and personality were very straightforward and put out 👍
Thank you so much for your feedback!💖
i LOVE the way u acted out ur whole new york trip~iconic~
When you showed Odd Squad I literally FREAKED
I LOVED THAT SHOW
IT WAS MY CHILDHOOD
Like seriously if you had made that audition..
I love the little extra videos of you trying to explain the situation 😂 😂
You did amazing on every single one! On the first one I would’ve called you back because it gives the same energy. On the second one I wouldn’t have called you back because it was boring and the emotions weren’t portrayed well enough. On the last one, YES. YES. YES. i loved it so so much. It had an amazing factor. You acted it out perfectly.
Thank you so much for your feedback!💓💖✨
@@MakaylaLysiak Oh wow. Can’t believe you responded. Huge fan
