Thanks again for the excellent tips. Yesterday, Chris submitted an audition video and pretended to eat an ice cream bar because the sides said ".. sitting on a rocky outcropping eating an ice cream bar. Stanley speaks as he he eats." Should we have actually gotten an ice cream bar?
@@shaynestrain5945 read books(many),memorise lines ,take acting classes,work out (bcz actors are fit),eat healthy food,get out of your comfort zone,work hard,make the most of your day and practice stuff like the ones above daily
Thx Kurt .. This isn't even for "beginners" this is also for people like me that's a seasoned actors but need to remind myself if im getting lazy on my submissions... Keep grinding and hope one day Bruce Willis is gonna make a video saying " This is what it was like working with Kurt Yue" 👍😃
I loved the violin analogy because some of my acting students think they can take one or two acting classes and then will magically get offered the standard rich and famous contract from Netflix or other streaming platforms. Getting an agent is another fallacy that many new actors fall into that I'm glad you covered. As an acting coach - I'm constantly saying AMEN to your words of wisdom!
I’m so guilty of number 4. I see it as confidence and believing that I can be great, I’m looking at the finish line before I even run the race. I needed to hear that, thank you.
I’m a Professional Truck driver in my 40’s . I’ve been driving 18 wheelers for 20 years. I want a career change and decided it will be acting. I’m committed to becoming a great actor so Kurt Yue ‘s videos are the first lessons about this industry I’ve came across. Thank you Kurt for these videos ! I Hope to see you on set in the future 😊
your second point was so useful to me!! no one has ever mentioned this to me & now that you’ve pointed it out, it’s obvious to NOT pretend for a self tape. as usual, thank you for your expertise 🙏
Hello Mister Kurt I'm student living in France But all my passion is to be an actor and I want to move in America for acting but I don't know how how can I get US for acting is that possible to contact a director of casting and make a reservation for My Visa or what should I do Please help me about that I really need to get US to make my dreams comes true In the meantime time thanks for reading this I look forward From hearing you
@@alybadradoumbouya3761 You should audition online for American shows and movies. It's really helpful to have a resume ready and an agent, but you don't have to. I would move to America first, that should probably be the first step. Don't be messy, have everything planned out. You mentioned you're a student, are you over eighteen? If so, moving to America would be the first step. If not, I'd send in online audition tapes. Getting a role won't be easy, so don't be discouraged, Let people in your life know about your dreams. If you get a part, they'll fly you out to the set in the US. Get an acting coach and work for it. Have the right mindset and take baby steps. Lots of love from Wisconsin, USA.
Since you mentioned not 'pretending' to do things on camera I thought I'd share the time I had to do a spit-take while self taping. I found it much harder than originally thought since I had to 1. Avoid hitting the camera with the mouthful of water I'd sipped. 2. Not choke on said mouthful of water 3. Not *laugh* while performing points 1. and 2. And lastly 4. Properly clean up the area after I was done. Didn't get the gig but did learn how to do a spit-take. Not sure if I should list that on the 'skills' section of my resume though 😉
That third point was SUPER helpful to know. I haven’t done any auditions yet but I feel like out of nerves I would’ve abruptly ended my scene after my final scene just wanting it to be over with lol so thanks for this tip.
You are honestly so inspirational. Whenever I feel like quitting and focusing on a boring 9-5 career, I watch your vids because you speak so kindly and offer such good information for us beginner actors. I cannot imagine myself feeling fulfilled not being on stage or in front of the camera. It’s always so exciting becoming someone else to play a character. You saying be patient is exactly what I need to remind myself of. All good things take time, and that pic was literally so perfect for my visual mind. Why make things harder for myself? Thanks for all the quality vids. Can’t wait to see you on set someday!
I started BG here in Atlanta back in 2020 and began acting classes back in August. I just booked my first role on a feature film. It's low budget but I don't care. It's experience and I'm excited!
I was one of those too quick kind of "career-sprinting" People, but I learned that Experience outranks evereything! Now 7 Months into acting, ive signed with my first Agent! But the last Point really motivated me. No rest when youre winning! Failing really is the quickest way to succeed!
today I went for my 3rd audition, printed photo and resume - my confidence skyrocketed from it by itself. The look on the casting crew faces 😮 2 auditions I was so nervous, today - owned it. It keeps getting better 😍
This video is SO helpful, thank you Kurt! Looking forward to watching the video you mentioned on getting acting experience. I have a lot of stage experience and enough voiceover gigs to be SAG-AFTRA, but definitely need some more screen time as I prepare to dive back into the LA scene full-time. Hope to see you on set one day too ☺
I've been doing tiny steps since I started, and sometimes is hard to keep the rithm, but you have to stay focused in those small objectives to achieve the bigger goals. I have sixteen and it's difficult to imagine acting as a profession but I still believe in myself an so I try every day.
Hey I’ve got a question, is it easier to secure big Netflix movies if I live in America? I live in the UK and there is no chance I can move to the USA any time soon. Will it be harder for me to achieve my goals?
Your acting advice is always super useful! Started watching your videos last year, and thanks to you I'm already taking acting classes and feeling rlly happy about it, so thank you for everything really!
Kurt, You are amazing! I’m so glad that I started following you. Your UA-cam videos on acting helps us tremendously. When I think of a question, and do the research your content pops up. Please continue keeping the acting community prepared, focused and ready. 🎬🙌🏾
Hi Kurt, I just turned 60 and have been in 3 movies each subsequent movie I have had bigger and better roles. I did not know about step 3, although it made sense to me to do that step. Thank you pointing out the 2 business tips. I appreciate all your videos
I appreciate the last two points where you mentioned trying to advance quickly, and agents. I just graduated from college this past weekend and I’ll be taking your advice!
Hi Kurt , I have a quick question and I would be honored If you would answer it . First of all I have watched a lot of your videos and maybe I didn't heard it or forgot It but do you thinks that someone with no experience ( someone that would star at cero) should take privat acting lessons due to the fact that in "my city " school.. don´t offer a theater course or acting on the scream . Have a good day !!
Giving yourself an activity can help with this (kind of like an "independent activity" in an acting class). In it's simplest form it's just something to help get you focused before you begin the actual scene but it also helps with the expression within the scene. Even something as simple as putting on a tie or cleaning a table can add life to a scene because if your character is angry that's going to come out in *how* you clean the table. A perfect example: the scene from Raider of the Lost Ark where Indiana Jones first arrives at the bar in Napal and technically you could say that he has a "door' and she has an "activity". He has a problem; she's the only solution to his problem but she's doing something - watch HOW she does what she's doing when she says the line "Well say it again anyway!!!!".
Hi I’m 12 and I just started my acting career. I was wondering even if I just started, I can still try to send in a addition tape for the bigger projects.
Please do not copy and paste the same comment over and over on multiple videos. I've removed all of the other comments. If you are just getting started, the first step is to get into an acting class. Auditions will come in time.
Great tips and advice! I did a self-taped audition for a character that was shooting a gun at a practice range. I don't own any fake guns so I "pretended" to shoot one. Most of the comments I received about the performance were positive. They felt that if I used a real gun, it would have taken away from the performance. What are your thoughts? I had a "featured extra" role in a Bruce Willis project years ago- "Acts of Violence". I didn't get to meet Bruce but I was in a short clip with co-star Cole Hauser.
I really appreciated your discussion about not taking things too fast. True story here. My friend encouraged me to audition for a one act festival and I got a part!! *Buuut*, there really are some differences between acting on stage vs screen, lol. I thought I was going to run off stage screaming because I felt my first rehearsal was so bad, LOL!! I felt pretty discombobulated! However, the thought dawned on me that perhaps I should be making use of the training I’ve been getting from classes and your videos? :-p Anyhow, I am really enjoying this experience and have learned a lot about *patience*! Thank you as always for your videos and invaluable advice!
I swear to God many people don't want to train and learn to become an actor before actually being one on a big project. Like chill, take classes and learn something first....just like any other career.
Hi Kurt you’re video helped me now I won’t move to fast. However, I’m new to acting how do you know when you have enough credibility to audition for the bigger roles like Netflix, HBO, Marvel, or Disney?
Hey Kurt, Recently came to know about your channel and loved it!!.. Well..am a 18 year old indian guy and want to act in hollywood... Is it possible? or am i thinking too big?
Thank you. I'm working on my 17th show. Your advise is spot on with what other credible actors have told me. I Just turned down an offer for a 3 year talent agreement with an agent. It's the best thing I've done for my career.
I really like ur videos bcoz it has changed me,,I am aspiring to be an actor that's why I've been watching ur videos Am always telling myself that when am done with school I'll get an agent and rush and all that stuff u know going for auditions and I actually hv no experience But I've changed my point of view and wanna take it step by step by seeing the need of an acting classes Thanks so much
i've just came back from the video with creating a resume (so good btw),although i have a question,if i ve been taking professional acting classes online do they go on the resume the same as an in person class? thank you
I recently got started in acting of sorts because of a new job, and learning about the industry has been so fascinating yet so overwhelming. I stumbled across this video and I'm SO glad I did. Your advice grounded me and reassured me to just have fun and see where you can go. Thank you for this!
Mistake number 2 - I got a self tape with a script that it is outdoor ( try to open a car and then walk to a group of friends). I am preparing this indoor so I am faking to open the car. Is this the correct way? It is difficult to record it with a real car on a neutral background. Do you have any suggestions?
I have a very curious question... Since we have to go to film school to become an actor what about some musician, some rappers you know. Cause these days in movies we see some rappers acting movies my question is how do they do it? Do they attend film school before they act cause it seems like they just act when they want to for me. So my question is how do these musicians and rappers get into the film industry. I will really appreciate it if you can give me an answer cause am really curious
REPENT! JESUS CHRIST IS COMING VERY SOON! CONFESS YOUR SINS, ASK FOR FORGIVENESS, BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS FOR US AND GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, AND CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THAT JESUS CHRIST IS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR! GOD BLESS YOU!
Amazing content from the best acting/film channel on this platform. Feels like at this point he’s my personal teacher. Can’t get enough videos, hope to see you on set one day Kurt!
I never gave audition so if I send You my video clip ,and if You like it can you recommend me for any movie or web series and thanks for all your help ☺ please tell me 🙏
Hello I have been trying to get into acting and trying to get into a character, but I am trying methods and nothing seems to be working maybe I am doing them wrong but I feel like I have hit a block and I need help do you have any advise
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. When I was still teaching martial arts I would have my students practice the moves slowly at first so they can master the form without getting injured first. Then once you have perfect form you will naturally notice that there's a certain rhythm to it and once you've found the rhythm you can speed that rhythm up. Now I teach a free acting class for disabled veterans (Meisner based) and the same principles still apply.
Hey Kurt nice to find you on UA-cam. I actually have a UA-cam channel myself and I am a professional actor in the New York City area. I was going through some of your videos and saw how you spoke two years ago to a mortgage lender and real estate agent. I’ve actually always been a big proponent about this and is one of the reasons I made my UA-cam channel during the pandemic. I’ve always wanted to empower other actors to be financially knowledgeable while at the same time pursuing their acting career. I know it’s worked for me and helped. Would love to do a combo thing to possibly get our audiences and cross promote
Im 13 and have no experions and i have never Done any audition but my brother always say to me that i shode hury to get a roll befor its to late and i start to wonder if i shode worry ore shode i take my time?!
Hi i wanna be an actor in netflix disney hollywood and im a minor and im from asia like you what should i do to become an actor? Please tell me its my dream to become like you
That's more advanced training that's usually covered in any acting class. There's no point in breaking down the first steps of approaching a script if you haven't even done the basic foundational work which leads up TO that. He's always telling people on this channel that your first step as an actor should be to take classes and don't assume that watching this channel is a substitute for taking classes. You must first learn to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances and learn to genuinely connect with your scene partner - and that is the work which will support the dialogue but it's not something you can learn by watching videos any more than you can learn how to ride a bike by reading about it. BUT... I'll tell you the very first; most basic thing you learn about learning your dialogue (in a Meisner based class anyway). It's to write down YOUR dialogue and ONLY your dialogue. Don't memorize the other actors lines. In your first read you shouldn't even know what the other actor is going to say - but rather let their behavior and words PULL the dialogue from you; without even knowing what that's going to look like before it happens. But like I said - this is more advanced work which you need to work your way up to. You can't start at the finish line - just like Kurt already mentioned in this video. You have to start as a white belt, just like everyone else does then work your way up. Crawl before you walk; walk before you run etc. Right now you're trying to get ahead of yourself which is exactly what he's warning against in this video.
@@amankadambotaslam7143 Forgot to mention, when you write your dialogue down... remove ALL punctuation and paragraphs. Just write it ALL down and don't anticipate how it's going to come out. Don't memorize a performance, only memorize the words so that your performance comes from "working off" the other actor. The quality of your acting comes not from you but from what the other actor does TO you and for that you need to be open, receptive and vulnerable. Let THEIR words penetrate to your heart and allow THAT to color how your own dialogue comes out; without thinking about it and without planning it in advance. You should also know your dialogue so well that you don't need to think about it. You shouldn't be focused on "gosh... what's my next line?". You should be placing 100% of your focus on the other actor; you can't really do that if you don't know your dialogue or at least the intention of the scene & where it's going. There's a great book series by Larry Silverberg called "The Meisner Approach". It's a four book series but he doesn't get into script analysis until the third book in the series so that should give you an idea of how far ahead you're trying to jump. Try not to get ahead of yourself - focus on the basics of acting first and once you've done the work that's going to support the text - then focus on the text and script analysis. In the early stages of your training you should be doing repetition exercises plus "doors and activities", not trying to do a scene. And you need to have one or two other people to be able to work with. If you have other friends that are interested in acting, get together with them and just practice doing the most basic repetition exercises. You can find videos online which describe in detail how to do a basic repetition exercise. Elizabeth Mestnick has some great videos on this. It's good to have three people in your group so one acts as the "observer" or audience and they also assist by telling you when to start reps and when to stop. You should be doing no less than 3-5 minutes at a time and set aside two hours to practice. I have literally done repetition exercises for two hours, straight without stopping except to drink water or use the restroom.
Es un excelente consejo que nos das Kurt. Todo se gana con paciencia y sabiduría. Gracias por compartir tus experiencias en tus videos. ✨💛🇵🇪 Saludos desde Peru.
hey man i live in the netherlands i want to move to america when i am old enough and i want to become a actor so can you make a video how to become a actor in america from another country
Hello Kurt. I'm not from the United States and I want to get in some affordable college, which isn't too expensive and that college will has got financial aids and scholarships to starting my acting career. Can you give me some advice?
I don't know much about this. One thing I will say is that you do not need a degree in acting to pursue this career. Yes, you need training, but that doesn't need to come from an expensive college or university.
For me the potential of an actor is about believe deeply in the moovie reality and what's happen, that's my acting style, I've like 10 hours of acting, but I've understand that thing !
No it isn't. It's about living truthfully under the given imaginary circumstances. Just because you know how to watch a movie doesn't mean you can be an actor.

I recently got started in acting of sorts because of a new job, and learning about the industry has been so fascinating yet so overwhelming. I stumbled across this video and I'm SO glad I did. Your advice grounded me and reassured me to just have fun and see where you can go. Thank you for this!
I won't ask any question, because in 35 years acting I had too many. Now there's not any question. Thanks
Mistake number 2 - I got a self tape with a script that it is outdoor ( try to open a car and then walk to a group of friends). I am preparing this indoor so I am faking to open the car. Is this the correct way? It is difficult to record it with a real car on a neutral background. Do you have any suggestions?
I have a very curious question... Since we have to go to film school to become an actor what about some musician, some rappers you know. Cause these days in movies we see some rappers acting movies my question is how do they do it? Do they attend film school before they act cause it seems like they just act when they want to for me. So my question is how do these musicians and rappers get into the film industry. I will really appreciate it if you can give me an answer cause am really curious
I'm going to watch the movie. Very curious now. Thanks.
Just on my second auditions, glad i leant from my mistakes from my first auditions though still at video-tape auditions i hope to make it one day.....
Thank you, Kurt, for your advice! It's both educational and inspirational!
REPENT! JESUS CHRIST IS COMING VERY SOON! CONFESS YOUR SINS, ASK FOR FORGIVENESS, BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS FOR US AND GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, AND CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THAT JESUS CHRIST IS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR! GOD BLESS YOU!

Hello I have been trying to get into acting and trying to get into a character, but I am trying methods and nothing seems to be working maybe I am doing them wrong but I feel like I have hit a block and I need help do you have any advise
You ever seen the show Airwolf? Speaking of the suspension of disbelief.
Part of me always wanted to act when I was a little kid. I never thought I could do it. I’m 27 now. Part of me wants to at least try.
Hello sir tomorrow is my modeling audition in dubai give me advise ❤️
Thanks kurt sir, give for important things of acting..
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. When I was still teaching martial arts I would have my students practice the moves slowly at first so they can master the form without getting injured first. Then once you have perfect form you will naturally notice that there's a certain rhythm to it and once you've found the rhythm you can speed that rhythm up. Now I teach a free acting class for disabled veterans (Meisner based) and the same principles still apply.
I have some queries about how to get agent,and if we don't have how we can know that the flim Or web series director is finding actor for their movie
Is that Mike Tyson in your latest movie, Vendetta? Awesome.
I love your showed motivational picture. It's teach me a good lesson
Hey Kurt nice to find you on UA-cam. I actually have a UA-cam channel myself and I am a professional actor in the New York City area. I was going through some of your videos and saw how you spoke two years ago to a mortgage lender and real estate agent. I’ve actually always been a big proponent about this and is one of the reasons I made my UA-cam channel during the pandemic. I’ve always wanted to empower other actors to be financially knowledgeable while at the same time pursuing their acting career. I know it’s worked for me and helped. Would love to do a combo thing to possibly get our audiences and cross promote
Im 13 and have no experions and i have never Done any audition but my brother always say to me that i shode hury to get a roll befor its to late and i start to wonder if i shode worry ore shode i take my time?!

Do you have any recommendations how to get started if your not living in America
Can you make a video of breaking down of a script.
That's more advanced training that's usually covered in any acting class. There's no point in breaking down the first steps of approaching a script if you haven't even done the basic foundational work which leads up TO that. He's always telling people on this channel that your first step as an actor should be to take classes and don't assume that watching this channel is a substitute for taking classes.
You must first learn to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances and learn to genuinely connect with your scene partner - and that is the work which will support the dialogue but it's not something you can learn by watching videos any more than you can learn how to ride a bike by reading about it.
BUT... I'll tell you the very first; most basic thing you learn about learning your dialogue (in a Meisner based class anyway). It's to write down YOUR dialogue and ONLY your dialogue. Don't memorize the other actors lines. In your first read you shouldn't even know what the other actor is going to say - but rather let their behavior and words PULL the dialogue from you; without even knowing what that's going to look like before it happens. But like I said - this is more advanced work which you need to work your way up to. You can't start at the finish line - just like Kurt already mentioned in this video. You have to start as a white belt, just like everyone else does then work your way up. Crawl before you walk; walk before you run etc. Right now you're trying to get ahead of yourself which is exactly what he's warning against in this video.
@@liquidbraino Thank you for the advise 👍
@@amankadambotaslam7143 Forgot to mention, when you write your dialogue down... remove ALL punctuation and paragraphs. Just write it ALL down and don't anticipate how it's going to come out. Don't memorize a performance, only memorize the words so that your performance comes from "working off" the other actor.
The quality of your acting comes not from you but from what the other actor does TO you and for that you need to be open, receptive and vulnerable. Let THEIR words penetrate to your heart and allow THAT to color how your own dialogue comes out; without thinking about it and without planning it in advance.
You should also know your dialogue so well that you don't need to think about it. You shouldn't be focused on "gosh... what's my next line?". You should be placing 100% of your focus on the other actor; you can't really do that if you don't know your dialogue or at least the intention of the scene & where it's going.
There's a great book series by Larry Silverberg called "The Meisner Approach". It's a four book series but he doesn't get into script analysis until the third book in the series so that should give you an idea of how far ahead you're trying to jump. Try not to get ahead of yourself - focus on the basics of acting first and once you've done the work that's going to support the text - then focus on the text and script analysis.
In the early stages of your training you should be doing repetition exercises plus "doors and activities", not trying to do a scene. And you need to have one or two other people to be able to work with. If you have other friends that are interested in acting, get together with them and just practice doing the most basic repetition exercises. You can find videos online which describe in detail how to do a basic repetition exercise. Elizabeth Mestnick has some great videos on this. It's good to have three people in your group so one acts as the "observer" or audience and they also assist by telling you when to start reps and when to stop. You should be doing no less than 3-5 minutes at a time and set aside two hours to practice. I have literally done repetition exercises for two hours, straight without stopping except to drink water or use the restroom.
@@liquidbraino 👍
Es un excelente consejo que nos das Kurt. Todo se gana con paciencia y sabiduría. Gracias por compartir tus experiencias en tus videos. ✨💛🇵🇪 Saludos desde Peru.
hey man i live in the netherlands i want to move to america when i am old enough and i want to become a actor so can you make a video how to become a actor in america from another country
Thank you!!! Not exactly “new” but appreciate your insight and direction
You're the best teacher ever... thank you so much for this Sir 🙏
TYSM, Kurt! You’re so helpful no matter what level you are in your career. I appreciate your passing the knowledge. You are an amazing actor.
Thank you
I am 9 years old but I'm practicing so I can be an actor so thanks so much
knowledgeable +your hand gesture and body language is nice
Hello Kurt. I'm not from the United States and I want to get in some affordable college, which isn't too expensive and that college will has got financial aids and scholarships to starting my acting career. Can you give me some advice?
I don't know much about this. One thing I will say is that you do not need a degree in acting to pursue this career. Yes, you need training, but that doesn't need to come from an expensive college or university.
For me the potential of an actor is about believe deeply in the moovie reality and what's happen, that's my acting style, I've like 10 hours of acting, but I've understand that thing !
No it isn't. It's about living truthfully under the given imaginary circumstances. Just because you know how to watch a movie doesn't mean you can be an actor.
I watch NOTHING with bruce willis in it. Soon as I see his face, I run. But I'll watch Vendetta because of you.
