I've learned in Callbacks / Zoom Calls (nowadays), one of my most important things (or at least from the few experiences I've had) I've realized is to be the part, not only in the reading but in all communication. As simple as that sounds, some callbacks I've done, where I've auditioned for a younger role, I've spoken as my normal self, which they find mature, and find that I'm suddenly "too old" for the part. Once I began speaking younger (as the roles I audition for are usually younger than I actually am), I've found a better percentage of bookings from the initial zoom meeting / call back.
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?: Selftape casting, a single phrase with different attitudes, I got virtual CALLBACK (Zoom), new instructions: " Fainting carater reaction...", they send a video with the reference and a note: "We need a stunt performer?, we want to see people wh can fall into a crash pad...", I saw the video, I prepare my mattress, I practice the action 4 hours before, I did it on my Callback...and they called me yesterday. I got the part.
@@EdgarNovoa not what I meant bro. I just liked the fact that U prepared yourself a safe fall, on mattress. What a stunt indeed 😂. But your English is OK. I can read and understand every word there bro
I hope you know how much of an inspiration you are to us Kurt. Thank you for all the useful info and tips, its means a lot. Love from the Caribbean 🇹🇹🙏🏽
This video is a week late for me 🤣 but that’s ok because I booked the part! This is still great for my next call back 😊 if it wasn’t for your videos I don’t think I would have even tried. Thank you ❤️
just want to say thanks for everything you’ve been doing. People like you and Audrey Moore, Amy Lyndon, Wendy allen wright are the best thing ever and thank you! Cant wait to see you on set!
If you are offered paid sponsorships in the future, don't be shy to accept them if they're a good brand! We won't be upset with you doing ads, we're actually happy to see you get your coin!! Your channel quality is great so you deserve it!
Thank you so much for this and your 10 step prep guide. I have an audition tomorrow for GOTG. It’ll be my first ever and I’m feeling 10x more confident after watching your videos.
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much Kurt! I just had my first call back and your video made me feel so much more at ease. And thank you for the tip about wearing the same clothes!!
Hi Kurt!! I’m going to take theater for my elective for my 11th (next year) and 12th grade year in high school. I’m also going to be taking acting classes this summer also!!
off topic kinda but i was watching diary of a wimpy kid: long haul and instantly recognized you! Thought it was awesome since i was just casually watching it and wasnt expecting to see anyone familiar.
Yeah...callbacks...You just never know! Many years ago I auditioned for series of ads for a major video game company and never got a callback. Several months later I get a call from my agent saying I'd booked it. As happy as I was it took me awhile to actually remember it!
Thank you for this, I was stumble over this question because I feel it's such a weird one to be asked but it was a lot simpler than I made it. I guess I feel the need to try and impress instead of just sharing what I love about me.
Have you done videos on Taxes in Acting? Might be an unusual request but I would think that it’s very important to have some knowledge on what to be prepared for
Kurt, first if I may say how enjoyable and informative your videos are, Thank You! I do have a question in ref to talent agencies receiving role breakdowns, do casting agencies/directors normally work with specific talent agents/agencies? If so, a talent is limited to only being submitted for the roles in which their agents works w/ specific casting directors/agencies, correct? Thank You!
Yes, that is often how it works. And it is usually regional. So Atlanta area casting directors typically work with Atlanta area talent agents (and maybe some of the neighboring states).
Hello Kurt, Can you do a video about what a working actor is? Because you said it a lot in your videos and I just want you to go to details on what it means. Does it mean making a living off acting, booking a lot of roles paid and unpaid, Does that means you're always busy when it comes to acting not having off time
Good suggestion! I will add it to my list. For now, I will say that I define a working actor as anyone who is getting paid to act. That could mean a million dollars or it could mean a hundred dollars. Making a living from acting income alone is very very difficult and not always sustainable due to the unpredictability of the industry. An actor could do everything right and still have a bad year financially. That's the vast majority of actors have a second (or third or fourth) source of income to balance out the irregularity of acting work.
Hi Kurt! I LOVE your channel-- your videos have already made a big on my life + acting journey, so THANK YOU!! I'm looking into acting classes in Atlanta and was curious if you have any thoughts about Robert Mello's Meisner-based intensive? Thanks for your help!
I've never taken his classes but I do know Rob personally and he's a great guy who cares deeply about the craft and his students. I know many actors that have studied with him and love his classes.
Was waiting for a video from Mr Yue. Btw, have a question. Am not American but I study from and stay in America. Can I audition to act in any American movies as posted by backstage? And, is it also safe or necessary for me to get an American Agent?
I think a lot of that depends on your location. You can submit for anything you want but need to take a few things into consideration. For example do you fit the role? If they're looking for a 20 something African American female - well that's kind of obvious it's not something you'd want to submit for. Also if you live in Dallas Texas but the audition is in Los Angeles or New York they're not going to fly you out to the audition or for the role in most cases. If they're looking for someone with a specific accent and you don't have don't have that accent & can't do accents then it's probably best to not waste your own time or the casting directors time. You should also be submitting on Casting Networks, Actors Access and Casting Frontier. Those are the main ones that a talent agent will want you to already be signed up with before they will represent you AND there certain roles you're not going to even see because they only get sent to agents. Agents get different breakdowns than actors do and when you get an agent they will be submitting you to some of those that you otherwise wouldn't have access to. Before you sign up on any casting site though make sure that it covers productions happening in your area. I'm not sure which ones cover which areas but the three I mentioned above all cover the Los Angeles area. Another thing about accents, if you CAN do different accents it will increase your odds of getting work. For example if you're German and have a German accent the roles you can submit for will be very limited but if you can pull off a believable American accent you'll get a LOT more work. I know a girl from Germany (she's in my acting class) and it took me six days to figure out that she was even German because she NEVER speaks with her natural accent and she does such a great American accent that she had me fooled. I'd have never known if she didn't tell me, except that when she get angry her natural accent comes out.
@@liquidbraino Thanks bruv! I am African. Originally, from Uganda, East Africa. And I am a 19 year old man. I do the American accent so well and I do my African accent as well. Depending on whom am talking to. The African accent, I use it mostly with my African friends. I always use the American accent, With ma parents and literally, everyone. Am trying to learn the British accent which is the most difficult, I guess. 😁 I stay in Michigan but can move to Las Vegas at my brother's. Is that helpful? And thanks about the guidance up there. 👊
Also depends on your residency status. If you're not a US citizen or green card holder, you'll need a specific work visa that will allow you to work as an actor in the US. I'm not an immigration attorney so you'll have to seek one out if you need to know the details about that.
Can you give some examples of what kind of direction they would give you at a callback? Would it be like to try your material again but with a different emotion or something?
Thanks for videos, Kurt!! One question: why would a casting agency said "No acting experience required" for a lead role of an HBO serie? Does that mean the producers will train the candidate, if they see him/her to be the right person for the role?
I’m going to an open casting call this Saturday in person. I’ve never done one. They haven’t sent me any sides yet. Should I be expecting them to send me sides this week? Or should I find/prepare a small monologue for the audition? Up until now I’ve done some BG work, but I’m putting in the time with classes etc to start booking real gigs. I couldn’t find any videos about having a monologue prepared or even about open casting calls. There is a few sentence description about the characters though. Help! Tips! (Other than the audition cheat cheat which is already downloaded 😂)!
Is your self tape set up the same as your zoom call back set up? I use my iPhone to tape my self tapes using the normal camera. But for call backs I turn my phone around and use the selfie mode so I can see the zoom participants. Is there another way I should be doing this?
I use my Canon DSLR camera for my self tapes. For Zoom callbacks I usually just use my laptop webcam because it's easier. But I still set it up in my self tape room with the same lighting. I think what you're doing is fine because the iPhone cameras are pretty good.
Hi Kurt thanks for the great video !! I need advice on a self tape where the script sent requires me to kneel on the ground , how does one film that using the instructions of self taping?( landscape, eye line etc) as usually one is standing during a self tape
What set up do you use when you're doing a virtual call back? Do you have a stand for your laptop? A wireless webcam to treat like you would the camera in a self tape?
I have a wired webcam that can attach to my tripod. If your laptop webcam is attached to the screen, you can just stack it on a box on a table or something to get it to about face level. I use the logitech c920 amzn.to/3INujmX
Hi Kurt! My question about the call back is, when you have the zoom call and they tell you what you need to fix, do you do it right on the call or do you redo the self-tape?
Hello there... Please I don't have a correct or say exact answer on the question that I've asked below, it will be of great help if u can provide it. Is there any surplus (extra) money given to actor and actress for explicit seen in movie or dramas, web series besides the fee they received as they are booked?
I have a question. How could a student in collage become an actor like you? And are there any acting classes in Atlanta? I want to go to collage there so Im asking
Hi Kurt, do you have a video on how to write an acting cover letter? Especially for those who have no or limited acting experience and how we should tackle that when putting a cover letter together?
Hey Kurt! Could you please please make a video about actors who doesn't live in the U.S. but want to get into the American film industry:) That would be really interesting for a lot of viewers :)
Kurt. Thank you for sharing all this Experience and information. Also giving it for free. It shows your character as a person. It will definitely come back to you and looks like it has because you have a awesome résumé. Hoping for Continued success for you. Best wishes and thank you again. I am a actor and really enjoy your Channel and find it so helpful.
Hi Kurt! Thank you for the awesome video. I was wondering if you get multiple callbacks from a big production or role, would it be okay to mention it in a pitch email to an agent or manager? Or should I just mention the projects I booked. Please let me know. Thank you so much 😊
it’s funny i just went to a callback the day you posted this! thank you again for this advice Kurt, you are so right. you never really know who is sitting in that audition room. also being polite and positive always helps bring good vibes in the audition process
What I find annoying is constantly hearing “they think you have a great look” , making it to the final round and then not getting it 💀 if my look is so great why do I keep getting turned down after making it to the final stage, extremely annoying….
I know it can be frustrating but the fact that you keep making it to the final stage means you are doing something right. At the end of the day, they can only cast one person even if thousands of people submitted for the role. The casting process is very unpredictable. I'm currently on a streak of 60+ auditions with no bookings.
Eeeeyoooo Wass good Kurt I saw you in Boomerang from BET and I told my friends that you are the guy that's giving me tips on how to get everything done for acting and getting auditions So thank you for being in my TV
i am addicted to your videos and I enjoyed seeing you in the marvel universe. May I ask, where do you stand on the whole " I'll write my own screenplay for a part that is perfect for me " stick( Fleabag, Girls, Good Will hunting)
How do you give more feeling when reading a monologue. I just read it of the paper and it sound like exactly what I’m doing. Have any advice to stop being afraid to act or read it out in front of peoples. Myesha luv’s here Love your videos hope to be an good actress one day💗
Hey Kurt, about a week ago I told my mom that I wanted to get into the acting business, I am 15 btw, I told her about you and your story and how you moved to Atlanta in 2016(i believe) I also told her how you were on a super bowl commercial, and she told me " No, think more realistically, only 1 in ten thousand make it in the acting business." Do you have any advice on what i should do since she is not going to help me out with this crazy dream? Another thing i also want to add is that i am home schooled and there is no theater in this homeschool group and my mom is not going to help me get into any theater groups, she keeps putting it off.
Try to find community theater and attempt learning on your own until you can get some acting classes me personally i don’t think it’s mandatory for acting classes but you do learn alot.
Any little thing you can do whether it’s performing in a church ur in or anything you should take the chance! And also just record yourself see what you did wrong and ask others and just keep improving and learning!
Hi, Kurt I want to say what a inspiration you are for actors everywhere, I am across your Chanel and I am hooked and I’ll watch over and over and take notes, If you haven’t answer this, do actors still have to print out headshots for a portfolio when you meet a agent or manager? And second things have changed since two years ago, could you possibly do a updated video about moving to Atlanta or Another big production city for actors or is Atlanta still the best
hey Kurt! I have a question for you that if someone lives in Pakistan as an example and he/she are under 18 than how can we do auditions for movies and tv shows? And if possible please make a separate video for that. Lots of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 ❣️
i auditioned for a part, and they had told me i was pretty good for someone with absolutely no experience. they had given me some google survey to learn more about me, and a day later i got a callback, but unfortunately i couldn’t do it since i had to pay for acting classes which was over $900. it did give me a sense of failure since at the time i was financially unstable to pay, so im currently teaching myself on youtube, practicing monologues, join drama and theatre clubs, and continuously auditioning to roles and try motivating myself that i CAN do it
Hi Kurt! So I’m an aspiring non-established actor from Denmark who wants to pursue acting in USA, California. I’m planning to go there for a minimum of six months. The problem is that I would like to be able to have a job whilst going to auditions and castings when I’m there. So my question is, what type of visa should I apply for?
Hey Kurt I have a question. How can I audition for a project if I don’t have a demo reel yet when I’m starting out? When all the projects requires a demo reel, what can I do?

This was great advice! I recently had a zoom callback for a commercial and it was just like how you described in the video. This really helped a lot!
I've learned in Callbacks / Zoom Calls (nowadays), one of my most important things (or at least from the few experiences I've had) I've realized is to be the part, not only in the reading but in all communication.

You would make the adjustment on the spot on the Zoom call
Was watching Mr Mercedes this week and about spit out my food. Were you still in Ohio or did that shoot in Atlanta?
Haha, cool! That was after I moved to Atlanta. Pretty much 95% of my resume is after moving to Atlanta
Hello there...
Please I don't have a correct or say exact answer on the question that I've asked below, it will be of great help if u can provide it.
Is there any surplus (extra) money given to actor and actress for explicit seen in movie or dramas, web series besides the fee they received as they are booked?
If the movie is under a SAG-AFTRA (union) contract in the US, yes, there may be a pay bump for that.
Do I need an O1visa if I have to become an actor in Canada

Nice
I litrally! Learned thausands of things after this video😳😍👌🏻👌🏻
What a great, nice and kind content by MR KURT YUE❣️
Had a callback, which i landed for the role, couple weeks ago. We read the entire script with 2-3 actors a scene at a time. It was interesting!
What I find annoying is constantly hearing “they think you have a great look” , making it to the final round and then not getting it 💀 if my look is so great why do I keep getting turned down after making it to the final stage, extremely annoying….
I know it can be frustrating but the fact that you keep making it to the final stage means you are doing something right. At the end of the day, they can only cast one person even if thousands of people submitted for the role. The casting process is very unpredictable. I'm currently on a streak of 60+ auditions with no bookings.
Eeeeyoooo
Wass good Kurt
I saw you in Boomerang from BET and I told my friends that you are the guy that's giving me tips on how to get everything done for acting and getting auditions
So thank you for being in my TV
i am addicted to your videos and I enjoyed seeing you in the marvel universe. May I ask, where do you stand on the whole " I'll write my own screenplay for a part that is perfect for me " stick( Fleabag, Girls, Good Will hunting)

Every area is different so I would recommend looking for an acting school in your area because they would probably know
Hey Kurt, about a week ago I told my mom that I wanted to get into the acting business, I am 15 btw, I told her about you and your story and how you moved to Atlanta in 2016(i believe) I also told her how you were on a super bowl commercial, and she told me " No, think more realistically, only 1 in ten thousand make it in the acting business." Do you have any advice on what i should do since she is not going to help me out with this crazy dream? Another thing i also want to add is that i am home schooled and there is no theater in this homeschool group and my mom is not going to help me get into any theater groups, she keeps putting it off.
Omg same exact thing happened to me to
@@Emir_helvacioglu you and me both...
Try to find community theater and attempt learning on your own until you can get some acting classes me personally i don’t think it’s mandatory for acting classes but you do learn alot.
Any little thing you can do whether it’s performing in a church ur in or anything you should take the chance! And also just record yourself see what you did wrong and ask others and just keep improving and learning!
@@omarramirez-um2ut Thanks for the advice!
Do you know if ATL is a good opportunity for latin actors?
Hi, Kurt I want to say what a inspiration you are for actors everywhere, I am across your Chanel and I am hooked and I’ll watch over and over and take notes, If you haven’t answer this, do actors still have to print out headshots for a portfolio when you meet a agent or manager? And second things have changed since two years ago, could you possibly do a updated video about moving to Atlanta or Another big production city for actors or is Atlanta still the best
hey Kurt! I have a question for you that if someone lives in Pakistan as an example and he/she are under 18 than how can we do auditions for movies and tv shows? And if possible please make a separate video for that. Lots of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 ❣️
Hi, can i ask you a question. During the choosing of the final actor for the role do they make you sign a contract already?
Could you do a video all about acting classes what their like etc all the details also thanks for the great videos
Thanks Kurt! Much appreciated.
How to get into a character which you are not in real life?
I've gone through so many of these on the Joe app.
i auditioned for a part, and they had told me i was pretty good for someone with absolutely no experience. they had given me some google survey to learn more about me, and a day later i got a callback, but unfortunately i couldn’t do it since i had to pay for acting classes which was over $900. it did give me a sense of failure since at the time i was financially unstable to pay, so im currently teaching myself on youtube, practicing monologues, join drama and theatre clubs, and continuously auditioning to roles and try motivating myself that i CAN do it
Which part of the country your in

Hi Kurt!
So I’m an aspiring non-established actor from Denmark who wants to pursue acting in USA, California. I’m planning to go there for a minimum of six months. The problem is that I would like to be able to have a job whilst going to auditions and castings when I’m there. So my question is, what type of visa should I apply for?
Unfortunately, I don't know. You'd have to talk to an immigration attorney about that
Hey Kurt I have a question. How can I audition for a project if I don’t have a demo reel yet when I’m starting out? When all the projects requires a demo reel, what can I do?
