ILY guys! Thanks for watching!! Should I start posting 2 vids a week? Let me know (: And who's excited for the contest?! #iam
Could you please make an acting video about Headshots? Like what to do, what not to do, where to get them done, you know, that sort of stuff. It would really help me, (and I think), a lot of other people starting with acting. Thanks!
For my Headshots, (My Nina is a student in a photogrpahy class) I had my Nina take them. They are good enough for now. Maybe a close family friend can do them for cheap?
There’s one by “Audrey hope”
OOOPS NO actors Do not write "non-union" on a resume. If the actor is not SAG-AFTRA we know they are non union. We don't write it on resumes. - Hollywood Talent Manager
Wendy Alane Wright The Hollywood Talent Manager, Thanks was watching the video and comments and saw this pop up,
I’ve also seen you’re channel and was wondering if you could make a video of agencies you would recommend to people, like beginners
Hey I’m having trouble I have no headshot and I’ve been in a commercial once I have no resume or anything how do I get started acting how do I find a manager or agent????
Gta Mad master007 , I would recommend watching Audrey hopes resume video
Thank youuuuu , I really aprecciate your videoss
My mom was just wondering because I always wanted to be an actress since I was 8 I'm 13 now

Me too!

I have 3 questions.
1. Do you have an agent?
2.How do you get an agent?
3.How do you find auditions if you don't have an agent?
Thank you so much. Luv these videos
did she give response to these questions?
You can still audition without a agent! If you make The audition you can find a agent because ur agency will start to recommend you to DIFFRENT agents
Maybe - ish thats untrue.if you get signed you have to sign a contract to agree to What percent of your money you want them to take from your salary. different levels of agents has a higher Minimum
Maybe - ish they only get 20 %
Heyitst _ does it cost money to do auditions or get an agent that just one huge question I have because I want to do this and start getting more into it but if it requires a lot of money I probably am not going to be able to do half of it
I bought a book that a casting director wrote and I notice that a lot of times you tend to tell people to give their age.. Well in the book it said you shouldn't give your exact age, and if you do give an age range of ages you could portray. And when you go into an acting room slate in character and she said that directors and all aren't supposed to ask you your age so if they do tell them the age of the character you are auditioning for and stay in character..
Example : if your 17 auditioning for a role of a 15 year old girl and they ask the age .. Stay in character and tell them your 15
And your resume shouldn't have your age on it or if it did have a range like 15-20
I think you have to if you under 18
Source : My acting teacher, an actual working actor.
LiveLoveJada thats interesting !!
I know its 2 years late but Crystal Reed was 25 or something and She was acting as Allison who is 16... So I dont technincally think you should Lie about your age.
I think you are a bit confused. Anyone under the age of 18 has to slate their real age. What you are thinking of is a PLAYING age. This is the age that you LOOK/ can play, for example if you are 13 but you look about 15, you would state you real age, but also your playing age/range.
So an example of a proper slate would be this:
Hello, I am *your name*, I'm 13 years old with a playing range of 13-15 years old and I am *your height*. It is optional, but if you are managed by a talent agency you can also mention "I am represented by *your agency*.
What you've just kind of implied is that you should lie to the casting directors about your age to increase your chances of getting a role, which seems tempting to do but then can spiral out of control, especially if you lie about being older than you really are and then are asked to do some scenes that are too mature for your real age. Casting directors find lying a HUGE turn off and you can end up getting in their bad books and ultimately not booking work if you start to build this bad reputation of lying.
What's the name of this book?
My tip for beginning actors:
To expand your resume start doing local theatre or a studio that automatically cast you. It allows you to gain experience as some places won’t give you a main role if you have no experience!
I was Matilda in Matilda in DFW and auditioning for Little Elsa on Broadway in April
It has always been my dream to be an actress. My teachers have told me that I am really good and I really want to get into acting, but my parents want me to be a nurse or doctor and I don’t know what they will do if I told them I wanted to be an actress.
I feel you. My mom freaked out when I told her I wanted to audition for a movie. She said some stuff that really upset me. I was 9 at the time but still.
that’s literally me girl
Go for it. If they say no make a slideshow about information of why you would be a good actor. Unless they respond to funny things better, then maybe make up a skit. It'll be embarassing but Worth It
Every time my mom asks what I wanna be I just say idk cuz I don’t wanna get into how I don’t wanna go into medicine like she does and I wanna be an actress instead

I'm trying out for my first paying performance this week and this so helped me! TYSM!!!
Im trying to start acting, could you give me a step by step kinda way on where to start and where to go when starting to act.
REMEMBER ME WHEN YOUR FAMOUS
I never really thought of becoming an actor and I never know what to say when people ask me what I want to do, but I recently got the opportunity to be one and that is really something I would enjoy doing. So I am trying my best to do things correctly and thanks to you for helping me out :)
Hey Rachel I have been wanting to do acting for almost my whole life and I found your account and it helped me a whole lot you changed my life and made everything easier for me keep it up I love you so much thank you for being so inspiring and helpful to people!!!!!!😊😁🤗🤗😊😊😊❤️♥️💓💕💞💜💙💚💛💗 THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!!
You are so amazing!! I have NO acting experience, and I've learned so musch from you!!
I’ve went through a drama club. I was in two plays last year so technically I have experience
This is major! Thank you for sharing all your expertise. I am 8 years old and looking for a talent agency. I’ve been modeling for years and switched agencies. This agency doesn’t have a talent division so I’m on the hunt! This will really help me a great deal.
Thank you Rachel. Very clear cut. Exactly what I was looking for. Gratitude sister 🙏🏻
I had a casting director tell me to never put a headshot on my resume. I was auditioning for a film in Hollywood and he said it made me look like an amateur. I was very new to the LA scene and felt chastised and embarrassed. Maybe things have changed.
no, you're very right indeed. this video is VERY old, so putting your headshot on your resume was considered the industry norm... not anymore! instead, staple your resume onto the back of your headshot (which should be 8" by 10" on photo paper) and cut it down to match the size of it. I'm really sorry about your experience, but let this be a learning curve for us all! Good luck!
Thank you so much! I’m a beginner actor (I act in tv commercials) and I hadn’t gotten a job in months. I updated my resume using this video and I just got a great job in an upcoming kids toy commercial by a big company!
Your videos are literally life savers
I actually attended a training on this exact topic with a producer who spoke about how everyone has to start somewhere, everyone is given their opportunity no one is born a star this past weekend at the TV and Film Summit was an online virtual event, live and the best part it was FREE also you are doing a phenomenal job keep it up!
You helped me sooooo much. I'm auditioning for Disney Chanel. When I first saw you I was like ooo she seems good and you are!❤️ You have me so many tips and things I could do to help me because... I'm stage fright... but you helped me conquer that!! Thanksssss so much❤️❤️❤️
7:23 oh my gooooosh
Hi Rachel! I love your videos so much and you are such an inspiration! Love you and keep doing what you're doing! :))
This is so helpful because ever since 4th grade (I’m in 7th now) I’ve wanted to be an actress, so thank you!
You should do a video on your film experiences and other acting jobs that you've done. Love your vids!
Yay I'm so excited for the contest😃!
7:22 haha you were so happy and the phone rang😂😂😶
I’m in John casablancas acting classes and next week I needed a rough draft of a resume and this rly helped!!
I am on my sister's account but I just wanted to say something to you. You have helped me so much, I have understood acting more and more. I will soon get the confidence to tell my dad that I wanna audition for a movie or a tv show. One day. It depends if anything costs a lot of money. I am young, but I want to be noticed for being me, that fun goofy little girl.
I'm so excited for the contest and I would love it if you posted 2 videos a week for the rest of the summer
Thank you so much for making this video. This helped so much. Worth the watch!

So first, hi! Im new to ur channel and just spend the past 2 hours watching as many videos of you as i could 😁 but i had i question, i have an audition tomorrow and its really hot out here and stuff so i want to wear shorts, but idk if its appropriate... So maybe you could do a video about what to wear on an audition 😊 you are AMAZING btw, your vids just give me alot more confidence and make me forget about the nerves so yeah, THANKS ❤️
I think you should do two videos a week! Also, can you make a "All about acting workshops/classes/camps" video because that would be really cool!
xoJamilaxo OHH that's a great video Idea! Thanks so much! (:
Thank you Rachel I been waiting for this vid forever lol.....I'm going to make my resume lol 😂😂
Algeny z Aw yay! Haha thanks for watching (:

Your channel is so helpful! 😊
This is really really helpful. thanks a bunch!
thank you very much for that amazing video just start working on extra background talent movie now I learn how to make resume peace and love...❤️
I'm filming myself doing monologues from books, movies,tv shows, random online ones, & some monologues I made up and I'm posting them on UA-cam and TikTok so I'll be able to reference them. (I'm mainly only posting them on TikTok because it's such a big platform right now and if they go big on there I can direct people over to my UA-cam, which I haven't posted any of the monologues on my UA-cam yet.)
Of course I'm putting my own twist on the monologues, it's no fun if I'm just copying the actor.
If you don't mind me asking what agency are you signed with and how did you find them
This video really helped me👍🏻
I'm from Romania, my dream is to become an actress and I'm still young and I dont have any experience yet but I want to go at an acting college in my country, get some experience and then I want to move in America and find an agent and this video gave me so much more hopes and clarified me so much so thank you so much!!
Nice! Very helpful thanks so much
You are really pretty!!!
Great energy!
very great info. Looking to go into acting.
Thank you so much for this video😆👍
You remind me a little bit of Reese Witherspoon. Love your videos. Great tips. Thanks for sharing!
How old is a good age to get an agent? and what sorts of “experience” is appropriate x
Jess xx
I’m sure that about a year after acting it things and experience is any time you’ve done acting,
Like
Plays, films, tv shows,anything
Jess xx I’m not 100% sure about the agent thing though
I’m not an actor yet but I’m in acting class rn but any age is appropriate and I’m sure you acting teacher should handle the agent part because my acting teacher told me that you will have to make a headshot and resumé then they should help you from there
In some markets you don't even need an agent. Where are you based at? What type of acting do you want to do?
Thanks needed this🔥💯
This is so helpful. I'm preparing for auditioning in a musical but I have never done anything before. I've done some stuff but not broadway, it's kinda crazy cause I'm 12 yo. Wish me luck
You’re awesome thanks!
Omg thank you so much for helping me
