Tofu says thanks!

I'm a simple man. I see Tofu, I click "Like."
Tofu appreciates it.
"So...tell me about yourself"
Me: Ok well I'm a girl, specifically a female. I like to believe I'm a lady and mostly a woman
😂
That's so deep
LMAOOOO
HAHAHAH
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I usually talk about my kids, but your suggestion about telling a store makes total sense. Im going to try that for the next one.
I’m not currently an actor, but I would like to get into acting when COVID slows down, so I am currently watching a whole bunch of acting videos to help me prepare😂
OMG!! Same
Look for online acting classes now because it's more available during covid.
Same I jus had an audition for acting school and I find out if I made it in 10 days 😳 I’ll come back
@@voidhectik8186 Good luck!!

Leilas Cup of Tea lol yesss😂

Same man!!! You are so so motivating 😍♥️♥️
After 2 years of trying. I just got “pencilled” for my first job by watching this video. THANK YOU!!!
Not only is this really helpful but you read the comments and interact with your viewers as much as possible. You care about your viewers. Amazing!
How funny would it have been if yours was the only comment I ignored? 😂
@@ActingCareerCenter Ahaha i was half expecting that..
Lmao
Here is my "Tell me about yourself" answer.
My full name is Thembekile Smith and I am 18 years old. Growing up I was always told I look older than I actually am. And that had a slight impact on the person that I am today.
I have grown to be a very independent and mature young woman, who is still whilling to learn and on a self knowing trip.
*I hope it's not too personal and boring*😬
This is great!
Dude. So good!! “BURR!”- tofu
Jessica you clicked on this video without even knowing Tofu would be in it 😂
I'm so grateful for you! I was smiling the whole way through your answer. Then you explained it, and I realized! I get it. Thank you! So happy you're making videos again. You truly have helped me. God bless❤
I appreciate your feedback! Thank you so much for watching!
I’m going into my very first audition on Wednesday. I want to be totally prepared, and this helped a lot! So thank you!! Also, it was a treat to see Tofu 🥺💚 I think I’ll probably mention my cat!
how was it?
I hope you were successful
I rarely comment on videos, but I had to on this one because I just love your personality! Thank you for your videos, they’re incredibly helpful and your energy in them is always so inspiring :)
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
Anybody else here because they have an audition coming up that’s requiring you to answer this? lol.
Me 😭
Haha, yes 😂
Literally me. Lol. I have an audition tomorrow
have you ever found a video that was exactly what you were looking for?
I aim to please!
Nope !! 😒 But when I saw this video it's a yes 🙂🙂👍👍
I was hoping you’d introduce Tofu on camera! Adorable!!! She even told us a lil abt herself 🥰
OMG! I screamed for Tofu (for the first time in my life)!Haha She's soooooo CUTE!!!! Soooo tiny! I'm in love!!!
Who the hell dislikes a video with such a cute dog?! Loved this!
You're so sweet and kind thnk u so much I really appreciate
You are so welcome!
I made the mistake to talk about my acting career because I thought the question like those jobs interviews that don't care about your personal life but your professional life but now thanks to you I know better 😊
Hiii
Tofu is adorable… he booked it with that cute bark! He upstaged you! 🤩
* casually binge watches your videos for hours because i watched a movie where the main character played an astonishing role, which lead to me being super interested in acting *
AAAAAHHHHHH, I lost it when Tofu showed up
After One Minute, I Downloaded The Cheat Sheet!
Thanks for downloading!
(My practice) Hello, I'm Randy. I go by Randy and RJ because of my Initials. I was born in Rockford Illinois and my cat's name is Louie 💙 he's been with me ever since I was born and I'm currently getting better at hearing God and getting closer to Him and my favorite colour is Green 💚😊
Hey Kurt! Fellow Ohio native here and living in Atlanta also! I no joke had this question, that needed filmed last night, for a potential agency and I brought up my 8lbs yorkie, before seeing this video!! Great videos and content! Thanks for posting these!
Person: " So tell me about yourself"
Me: I lived in Canada, London Ontario for a short time than in 2009 I moved back to Saudi and I have been traveling a lot since 2010, I have visited many places and I experienced many cool things and most importantly I had to hike in a rain forest that was so far the best experience. ( all smiling) (now of course I don't even know if this is correct but I hope it is)
Tofu should be in the movies too 😄
I'm 20 and i'm lost, i envy some people i know who are sure and clear to the path they really want to do or take and i've been trying to find what i really want to do, because the things that i do right now don't make me happy and motivate me, i feel like those are not what i really want and it's hard to pursue something that i myself not sure if that's what i really want and i'm starting to find my self by doing the things that are related to my hobbies one of those is watching movies, kdramas, and other tv series. I love watching, and not to brag but I am an actress in shower room.🤪
4:59 Curt, your dog Tofu is soo cute!!😁
Tell me about yourself
Me : Well I’ve lived in Albany my entire life. I’m 28 years of age. It’s me and my 3 kids and my additional Cappuccino. Yess cappuccino, his my Chihuahua. We love to travel and take mini trips to get away. We actually got to go where I’ve always dreamed to go and that’s New York. Oh how I love the tall buildings, the city lights ! I was everywhere in the city. Wow it’s truly the city that doesn’t sleep . Vegas is next on the list !!! Well that’s a little about me !
I keep coming back for more! Your channel is amazing! Smooches Tofu!!!
Kurt I just couldn’t stand how cute Tofu is! Thank you for your generosity! Hope Direction Action Thank you
This is a great video! It helped me ALOT. How I would respond is: My name is Bela, Im __ years old (don't ask a woman about her age alright) and I love hiking with my family and volleyball. even though Im not on a team I just love tossing the ball to my sister. We always have a fun time. We also once tried to play Volleyball on top of a mountain with my parents. Yeah, that didn't go so well. I will always miss you ball.
😂😂 That's great!
Answer: (hope it's okay!)
About 15 years ago, the family decided to set up shop in Sydney and ever since it's been a wild ride. I'm an avid fan of escape rooms and tend to drag my friends to as many as humanely possible. Just last week we went to one of the harder ones in the area and if it wasn't for the abstract painting of a dinosaur (which we found out was, in fact, a giraffe), I wouldn't have lost my winning streak. I'm quite competitive and always look for new and interesting experiences. As a kid, I'd always wanted to be an astronaut and as such was awarded 'Most likely to die in a freak skydiving accident' in high school. I'm still figuring out how to feel about that. I guess I took it as a challenge because I've been taking lessons to get a pilot's license. One year from now I will be flying solo for the first time and I have no doubt that it'll be magnificent!
Omg Tofu, and your interaction with Tofu, is so cute
I live in Chicago, most of my life. I love my family, they’re everything to me and they’re my motivation. Everything what I do is from me and my family and they’re part of my happiness. That’s all about me and my family and thank you for listening.
Aw, Tofu is so cute! Great video🙂
You are so helpful! Thanks!!
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
I live in Amritsar and I love to do vlogging. At first when I started making videos it felt a little weird. I still remember once I made a vlog in my college and everybody kept staring at me as if I am an alien. But now its pretty fun I just go and talk to those weird strangers who stares at me and I end up having a great conversation. And that's it about me.
I love speaking on the fact that I'm a foodie and traveler! My eyes light up about both subjects.
I'm an artist. It's my passion and my whole life since I was young. I've always found myself dabbling in whatever would allow me to express myself and my creativity. I play around with just about any medium but my favorite is digital artwork. I use my computer quite often for my work and I occasionally am asked about what sort of tablet I use and what devices I use, and I respond with my little secret: I only use a mouse, which surprises them, and a lot of the time they don't believe me. I've found in my years of art, that it doesn't matter what medium or products you use, anyone can create anything they set their minds to and enjoy the process. And that's a little insight about who I am. (I made my pfp, if anyone is genuinely curious on my work)
Oh man..... I just booked a national commercial this morning but I answered it with my acting history. I guess it worked though.... I'm glad I found this channel. I'm an Actor in Atlanta and loving the business so far.
Love your videos. and I appreciate them

I am so late but definitely glad to hear about Tofu dragging you up a mountain 😂
Thank you!! Im doing an audition today and really needed this advice!! God bless you and Tofu!! 🥰
Why am I being bombarded with these videos right now
Okay first, thank you so much for this video! It for sure helped me. Now second and most important: I'm in love with Tofu.
I’m really loving your videos. Thanks for being here for us! I’m learning a lot. Tofu is ADORABLE!
Oh, why I didn’t see you earlier! I LOVE your video and so appreciated your precious advises! So helpful! I’m also in ATL and trying to get involve in filming industry! And I’m taking classes at Drama Inc, hopeful we can meet one day! Thank you again!
I would answer something like:
Hi! I'm Letícia, I'm from Brasilia, Brazil, I was born one day [you never ask a lady's age, ok] and since that I am living my life, I already graduated, got some money, discovered the cancer cure and got 12 Oscars.
[...]
ok, ok I basically live to feed my cat. Are you guys going to give this girl a job or not?
Lucky for you, it's a commercial for cat food. You're hired!
Hey thankyou so much for this video you are a massive help, and I feel way more confident now.
stan tofu for clear skin and a good future audition
😂
Thank you,Tofu is wonderful!
I’m 15 years old and originally from California but I was raised in Lancaster.I love dogs and horses, I wish to have a horse someday. The first time I seen a horse I was like yes I want one of those so that is what I’m going to do. I love to do martial arts.
How does this sound?
Holy SH#T!!... TOFU IS SOOOO FREAKIN CUTE🐾🐾❤️❤️
Thanks 🤝🏾
Appreciate your informative videos. I have a commercial audition tomorrow and I came straight to this video for a refresher. I will let you know how it turns out.

Thank you so much 😀
@@ActingCareerCenter 😍😍🤙🏻
Awwww little doggie 🥰and always helpful advice as usual 💯

NOW i SEE WHY ITS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE SHE WILL CLIMB UP THE MOUNTAIN. SHE PROBABLY WILL GET A MOVIE ROLE SOON COS U HAVE THE BEST CHANNEL SO FAR
hey! i'm _______ and im from south london, england. i was born in budapest, hungary i moved there when i was a baby. i was always dancing, singing around the house and wrote my own (very embarrassing) songs. when i was younger i participated in many poem competitions and had won awards for them, i would read for ages and often get in trouble for reading past my bedtime. my teachers would always be really surprised when i finished whole books and novels within a day and i loved writing stories as well. as a small kid i started playing the guitar which i still have a passion for. at age 12 i picked up the flute which i unfortunately do not play very play! as i became a teen i was very into music - i still am - and wanted to be in the music industry i would often get in trouble for listening to music in my room and not hearing my mum call my name. i picked up skating at the age of 15 with i also really love. so yeah, thats me :)
Thanks for sharing~
aah, tofu is so cute! Great video Kurt, I've learned so much watching your videos
I went to my first audition ever and got asked this question and now I know who to turn the table😏
Tofu’s a natural!!
Ok, well as a scuba diver i helped train rescue dogs to find drown victims. my favorite dives were zero visibility dives, night dives and cold water dives. i was a certified sport rescue diver not a professional diver. i also enjoy camping.
I scrolled down to answer the question but scrolled back up so damn fast as soon as Tofu appeared.
tell tofu i love her!
Can we talk about Tofy being such a cutie?! So tiny!
So... Tell me about yourself.
Me: Hi! My name is Anjali. I am ___ years old, and I speant a lot of my time overseas. Growing up as a half Nepali I lived in Nepal for a really long time. But growing up as a third culture kid, I spent a third of my life in Malaysia. Most of my life was spent with people not of my culture and with people that were very different from me. This experience taught me about accepting people of all nationalities and cultures. Life has really been an adventure, and I can't wait for the next step!
Great answer!
Omg your dog is the cutest thing!!!
Tofu thanks you!
Ive lived in arlington for a pretty long time and I enjoy it there. I also love to travel and this one time i traveled to puerto rico for the first time and it was so relaxing and calming. And thats a little bit about me.
I am in an acting class on Wednesday nights, and tonight the topic is : The tell us about yourself interview, and now that you talked about your dog I will talk about the homeless cat I am taking care of.
TOFU 😂😂😂😂 her little bark
Thankyou from Italy! (Love your tshirt😘)

Omg tofu is so cutee 💕💕💕
🐶
Thank you, this video is so useful, it has helped me with ideas on how to do my intro!
Hi, I'm a studen.I spent my whole life in Algeria, I'm 13 Years old ,a son and a brother, I studied in a one of the best schools in my country ,and I've never failed a test
This is how I would respond:
Person: So, Tell me about yourself
Me: so, I've lived in Singapore my whole life, I am energetic and optimistic, my favourite food is ramen! I love meeting new people, and if they're comfortable, I would greet them with a hug. So that's a little about me and thank you.
This was great thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Hi! I'm just a simple guy with gorgeous heart and doing some stuff such as Cosplaying, Singing( Impersonating 😂) and Dancing as well in any Type of DANCES as long as I enjoy it and love for it❤️
Hahah! Tofu is cute!
Tofu!! Funny and adorable!!
Good tip! thanks
Okay, about myself...
I live in Atlanta and moved here in 2000, met my wife shortly after moving here and work in the technical world. I may know technology, and I'm good at it, but my passion is out side. Anything that can get me outside is great. Hunting, fishing, camping, backpacking, you now it, I would love to try it, or I have already tried it and I love it. I remember one time, we were backpacking and I split my thumb down to the bone with the hatchett. I wrapped it up with paper towel and duct tape the rest of the trip. About two nights if I remember correctly. It healed up without a scar. It was an awesome trip.
Or I could tell another story when were camping and I saved a little girl from frowning in the river.
(I know my face will light up when I talk about outside)
Ahahaa dog says about his self : )) gorgeous
Tofu is very cute!
Mine would be somethin like:
Hello, my name is Esther, a lot of people call me Es-turd, and I am 14 years old. I am the oldest out of 5 children and the only one out of all of us who is homeschooled. I'm obsessed with Star Wars and writing and a lot of my stories may be a bit dark- ...but who cares, the point is I like to write. I have a bunch of Original Characters that I am very proud of, yes, I'm THAT nerd, and my favorite is Iris Garcia, who was 15 when I created her, but now she is 23 and married to a doctor and they have an adopted kid with powers to see the future... so... yeah. I could go on for hours and hours about my ideas for new stories and such and how my characters mean the world to me, but for now, I'll just leave it at that.
Hi, I’m Beelynda, I’m Mexican, I have been living in the U.K. for almost 7 years. I have also lived in the US so basically I have lived in three different countries and 4 cities. I love Korean food and would love to visit South Korea. Yes, that’s right. I love kdramas and BTS. So, that’s me, independent, adventurous and international ☺️
Maybe I'm not an actor, but I really want to be one in the future. I'm 100% sure I would have panicked if they asked me that. Now I know what to do. Thank you! Btw. can I also talk about anything that makes me smile, for example my bestie or not?
TOFU IS SO CUTE
Omg. Tofu is soooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Tofu says thanks!
