Hi guys! In this video, I talk about the work I have been on and my experience working as an extra on different sets as well as everything you need to know to become an extra. From the registration process with an agency to headshots to pay to a typical day in the life as an extra!! Sorry, that's why this vid is quite long teehee...
I actually managed to include a mini vlog of a day I was working as a supporting artist in this video so keep watching to see that.

Wow I literally love your channel your editing is amazing and I love your personality ❤️🔥
Ahhh that means a lot! Thank you ❤️
if being an extra is difficult to have as a full-time job, what do you do/work/etc that makes it compatible for you to also be an extra?
So wildly helpfull!! Thankyou so much!
This is a great video, Lots of brilliant advice. From another Extra from the Midlands ;)
This is so helpful. Thank you ❤️😊
Thanks for watching!❤️
Thank you very much for your insight, it's been helpful. All the best with your career.
Thanks for watching!
Hi! I enjoyed your video; it's very informative and gives great insight in the world of being an extra! I just wondered; you mention that extras have a base camp where they may hang around for a period of time. Is it at this place where you can securely store your suitcase/any other belongings you would need to bring with you on set or do they have any other 'safe space' for this?
Great Video-Good Luck! x
Can you apply to multiple of the extra agencies
Yep x
Yes
Outlander, I wish I was an extra on that! My cousin got a offer to be an extra on that, but the silly man didn't want to shave off his beard?! Hair grows back!!! I have told him he is a silly human!!!
What episode did you appear on outlander? Do you know when the next season will start? Spill it out please. 💕
Hahah I’m in season 5, so it’s not out yet, I’m not sure what episode and don’t think I can say but keep an eye out 🤫😉💖
Such a helpful video! P.S where is your jumper from?!
Do you have any agencies for people under 16? because im 15 and want to start this year.
Thanks for your question! Real people cast all ages I believe, I would recommend them 😊
Payment of extras is at 09.55 seconds, not being funny but that is what brought me here, I guess being nosey, I wondered if people could make a full time job out of it, I was told there are communities in America that live together to get extra work, plus I git told you can't speak un less spoken to on big film sets to the big actors, and the big actors take advantage and shag the good looking extras, promising them more lines in movie etc,
I am trying to get into extra work because I used to want to be an actress, I'm old now (32) so that ship sailed, but I think it'll be good to get me out of the house. However, I'm worried I won't be pretty enough to get chosen! Do you find they let people who are less attractive get chosen?
I think its never to late
You are still young and you're never too old to start a career in acting x
Perfect! Have you been working with a foreigners? I just moved to England and I want to start acting jobs (mostly as an extra for know). Probably in Birmingham or London ❤️
@@mcpartridgeboy yeah, I've been looking through adverts and also noticed that only acting in London has potential, Thanks!
Good 👍👍🧡🌹
Thank you! 😊
