What did you think of each monologue?💭 Should I do a Part 2!?🙈
Yaaas! Definitely
YASSSSSSS GURL YASS
Omg 😳 I hope you liked my Audition that I sent to you I worked really hard and this my fist role in a Movie 🎥🍿 😓
yesss
Yes you should
THE TEARS. It was so realistic! Your development as an actor is absolutely incredibly and I love how you portrayed the character of Katniss 💗 pear ✨ 🍐
Thank you so much!
@@MakaylaLysiak I'm going to write my own monologue and send it my question is afterwards can I do another and send it to you for more feedback. P.S Can the emotions and placing yourself into the characters shoes and while reading a script or a book you can see how the writer intended for the character to be played everything about the character the emotions, the expressions etc I'm asking bc all this just comes naturally to me practically instantly I have tons of passion for acting my goals are making a mark for myself and most importantly is bring enjoyment and happiness to people that are fans of the characters that I've done and to prove to myself and others that I have what it takes to become a actor. This is my saying Every rejection is another opportunity to excel so for me once I start auditioning and I get rejected it won't set me back it will drive me forward. Sorry it's so long I've never been given advice from an actual actor and it would mean the world to me to hear your thoughts.
@@MakaylaLysiak how do we send them in?
Yes I totally agree
@@dustybunz2909 there’s a section at the start of the video telling you
everyone did a really great job regardless!!!!! it’s so brave to put yourself out there especially on youtube. good job guys! 💗💗
Yes! Agreed, everyone did a fantastic job!
I really appreciated how you critiqued your own performance when you attempted to recreate the second monologue. It highlights how genuine and honest you are as a person. I genuinely believe that you are a kind person who is here to help others and not just to boast about your own experience or to say you are a better actress than anyone else. I would love to see a part 2 to this video 💚
Thank you for writing this 💖🥹😭 literally just helping you guys fulfills my existence
Keira: Good facial expressions and emotion. Very confident and engaging. Talked too fast through it, maybe because of nerves. There was no time to breathe or to make words stand out.
Aubrey: Amazing that she could cry and add that to her monologue. Her voice could have been more precise, and there wasn't a lot of visual emotion shown through her facial muscles. Also her tone never changed, so it felt like there was no emotional progression, and therefore no story progression.
Jack: Good performance and facial expressions. It's great that he's not afraid to show his emotion through different volume levels, made it really engaging. Although he relied on his hand gestures too much, and that really distracted me from what he was saying. Maybe out of nerves, he feels he needs to move around to keep us engaged, but I find there's more power in the stillness to show how serious a scene is. With one or two key moves to really emphasis the words.
I’ve been waiting for the day my monologue was chosen, I feel so happy and love all the supportive comments 🫶
Amazing job Aubrey!
U did soooo good
U should defs audition!!you did soo good
here are my thoughts on each of the performers :)
1. (keira) - they have SO much potential. even just based off of that, i can tell that that monologue is a really great fit for them. i think they just need to focus on not only slowing down, but using their diction. and since it was so fast, it very felt memorized. which of course it is, but in real life, this student wouldn’t have exactly what they’re going to say to the teacher 100% planned out. so taking the time to think about what they’re going to say next makes the whole thing just feel more natural. even if it’s just a pause to catch your breath. but overall, the acting was not bad at all and will definitely feel more natural with practice, time, and playing around with different choices. great job keira!
2. (aubrey) - loveeee this monologue. even though it’s generally a sad story, it can show off a wide range of emotions. i think my critique for this one is almost the opposite of the above. when someone’s sad, (close to tears in this case) their voice changes a lot. it speeds up, slows down, gets louder and softer, cracks, etc. aubrey stayed at the same pace and volume the whole time. they definitely gave a convincing performance, and i could almost believe they were on the brink of tears. i love love loved how they did a little smile when talking about rue, it was like they were remebering a memory with her. play that up a bit more. the highs, the lows, and everything in between, especially in such an emotion-driven piece like this. overall, wonderful job aubrey!
3. (jack) - this was such a powerful monologue. when someone is fighting with someone, especially a parent or someone who means a lot to them, they usually don’t yell at them the whole time. it’s usually quiet, then talking level, then the very climax is yelling. so pick one, maybe two lines that you think are the very most important, and are the emotional climax of the fight. also, in any sort of conversation, but especially an argument, you don’t make eye contact with your counterpart the whole time. there’s a lot of looking away, looking down. etc. but overall, dang, great job
ending thoughts and comments: amazing job to everyone who submitted. a general note for everyone is to take the time to think about what your character is saying. like, in the moment. 90% of the time, words don’t just come spilling out all smooth and neat. humans are awkward and messy, especially in our most emotional moments. watch lots of videos and performances of other people performing similar pieces to take note of their movements and mannerisms. amazing job to everyone!! also last thing, like mikayla said, acting and art is subjective, so these are just my opinions, and stuff i’ve picked up over time.
- a fellow aspiring actor :)
Thank you for your feedback Cora!
Ahhh thank you so much 🫶
@@jackwang5447 no problem!! great job!
@@aubreygianna2415 of course!! keep doing what you’re doing!!
Really amazing feedback!
Okay girl, I can’t wait to see you as a main character in a show, I know it’s gonna come because you work so hard
For the 1st one: amazing performance! Like Makayla said, the lighting needs some help-I think that she was very fast when she was saying her lines, and that she should slow them down and really give time to make facial expressions
2nd. I loved it! The tears were everything-I think she should have had more facial expressions and turning into the camera but looking to the side (What Makayla said) And more volume and tone and flavor to the voice
3rd. Omggg I loved it! I think the hand movements were a little much with the chopping, maybe pauses in between lines but not too big to create emotion and make facial expressions
Overall, everybody did amazing!
U did very well, well done 😄
@@lmaoaims they aren’t in the video…
Yes I agree, especially with the first one. She did so well but she was speaking a bit toooooo fast and not clearly enough
@@idrttr.shannx lol
As a band kid, the first monologue was hilarious 😂
I agree with all of your critiques. Thank you for helping out your fellow actors!
Thank you💖
THE TEARS. It was so realistic but everyone did a really great job regardless!!!!! it’s so brave to put yourself out there especially on youtube. good job guys
Your feedback is so well thought out, I recently performed a monologue, and all of your tips really helped me out while I was acting! :)
You are such a great actor Makayla! When you acted out the second monologue it was so realistic! I got tears in my eyes because I got so dragged into it
Definitely do part 2! I think it's really helpful to learn acting tips/techniques through other people's monologues. Everyone did a great job in this video, and I commend each of them for stepping up to show their talent to the community!
Omg Makayla you are such an inspiration and you inspired me through my acting journey and I have improved since watching your videos.
This makes me so happy to hear 🥹💖
My THOUGHTS (As an actor is musicals)
#1: I thought she had good expressions but at some points I could only understand every other word.
#2: I think she did good but I think her fake cry could use some improvement? She did a nice job making her voice sounding like she was crying, it really did make me believe she was heartbroken.
#3: I think he did a good job of showing how angry he was and it really made me think he's been doing this for a while, however I think it would be better if he used less hand movements. It really distracted me from what he was saying.
Anyways those were my thoughts! They all did really good, this is just my opinion.
Everyone did amazing! 💘
1. I loved how like energetic she was and I feel like she would do so god in like nikolodeon shows or series
2.i absolute y loved the emotions and the dramatic pauses
3. I loved how he moved around lots and the way he was able to transition emotions so quick
Love the positivity in this comment and amazing points!💖
@@MakaylaLysiak awh tysm for replying!💘 I am a. New fan but I'm in love with Ur channel already!
nickelodeon is toxic tbh
Hi Makayla! I found your channel because by a whirlwind of events I landed into a role on a friend's short film with no experience. Your videos have carried me through weeks of emotions - dread, nervousness, embarrassment, and excitement. I have found so much knowledge, comfort, and relief within your channel and the community you built. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Props to ALL THREE submitters, you already have GUTS which is more than most people have!
Reading this made me feel so happy. Thank you for supporting my channel and I feel so grateful that I could help you along your journey. Stay amazing 💖
The FIRST monologue I felt as if she needed to take her time to get into character before doing the scene. See her surroundings and see the person she was talking too. A lot of people do that, even the people who have trained at Drama school for years. But doing so just makes the character come to life and allows you to show difference between your actual self and character.😀
You’re by far my 3rd favourite actor!!
1: Emma Watson 2: Millie BB and then you!!! YOURE AMAZING 🤩 you’re so positive and full of advice, you’re bright and beautiful, incredible actor! I’ll always come back to you, I hope to one day cast a series or movie like you!🎀💓💓
Omg 🥹 you literally made my whole day. Thank you for the love and positivity! This means everything to me.💖 Much love.
@@MakaylaLysiak ahh! 🫶🏼
@@MakaylaLysiakyou are incredibly
I love these! You should do a video where you watch them retry to perform the monologue and see how much they learned. :))
I discovered your channel 2 hours ago, I was already addicted to my dream to become an actress, but you fed way too much this dream and now I want to leave France asap 😂 Thank you for sharing your experience, I know you already read those type of comments everyday, but you are giving a gigantic bag of confidence, and I definitely want to try as hard as I can to make this dream come true. With only 2 hours, I can already say that you’re the best haha💪🏻
4:42 she said “his uniform is always wrinkly”
ahhhhh I hear it now! I couldn’t get the word “uniform”. Thank you!
Been waiting for this video for a whole year!!!! Thank you!💕
I love your videos, they make my day and you have helped me so much in my acting journey xx
Love your videos! I’m so glad you’re back girl
Please do more script analysis videos! You’ve done one sometime a while back, it was so good! Thank you
i love your energy and how kind u are💗💗
Aw thank you 🥹
3:01 Kiara or however you spell it was rlly good!
Number 2 was amazing!
i loved this video ah everything you said was so helpful and insightful, but it made me realise i’d reallyyyy appreciate a video on correctly/accurately/impactfully portraying anger !! thanks queen 💕
This was so fun to watch!! The tips you gave them really helped me to become a better actor thank youuu 😃
You're the best Reactioneer I've ever seen and this is the first time watching your videos.
Welcome to the family🥰
I've taken some acting classes, and based off of my very un-professional training, here are the only things I found that needed help. (I wrote these without hearing Makayla's comments, then I went back to listen to her. That way, I was trying not to copy lol, but then I basically ended up. Acting's the same ig)
Kiera: Talk slower. That was the only problem I found really.
Aubrey: A bit more facial/head movement. I got the holding-back-tears stare, which was spot on, but I would have loved to see a little more movement. Even just looking down once.
Jack: Less hand movement. Use it when needed, not for every sentence.
They all did an amazing job! Really impressive, especially being so young.
kiera: too fast, but awesome
aubrey: too much blinking (maybe i’m too critical tho-) but she did so good
jack: too sharp of motions, but SO GOOD OMG
And i love the critiques makayla gave!! ❤️❤️
I loved watching you act when I was growing up!!! You’re so talented and I loved watching you! I can scroll through your UA-cam forever!! You inspired me to go into plays. I had really bad stage fright but i started watching your videos and I got more comfortable on stage! I’m auditioning for a play tomorrow. Wish me luck!!❤❤
u inspire me so much to follow this dream, i learn sm from u, thanks for this types of videos, ily
All of them did a great job!!! 👏👏👏
Your so talented, for some reason when you were acting out Katniss's scene your acting reminded me of Sadie Sinks! Your definitely one of my favourite actors and my favourite UA-cam creator! you have helped me out the most out of all the acting tip channels! You not only helpful your videos are also very entertaining and funny to watch when bored.
When Makayla started crying, I stared crying.... you are soooooo AMAZING
Aw you read my mind! I was just thinking yesterday that I would love if you posted a video like this!
we are on the same wavelength lol😅
You are so good with giving tips. I definitely could see you teaching or being some type of acting coach in the future!
Can't wait for the next video! Love ur vids!!!!
Awesome Makayla!! I love ur vids smm! Your one of my idols ✨ They're soo helpful for me as an actress who was only ever been in musicals but I'm trying to audition for some TV work 💘 your how to cry on command video was amazing! It worked for me on my monologue for my drama exam last weekend! 😁💝
WOW, WOW, WOW. Your acting is brilliant Makayla. I am learning so much from your content. Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching!🥰
I love your videos, they are always so helpful! 💜✨ This video help me take notes on what I might want to touch up on when doing a monologue. I’ve thinking about sending in a monologue submission for a little bit, do you have any suggestions on where to first find a monologue?
I’m starting to audition for bigger stuff because of your vids, they help so much tysm Makayla
The first thing I would say for the first monologue submission would be to slow down. There were definitely some great moments in the monologue such as the expression but just slowing down could have a huge impact on the performance. There were points where I thought the pace worked well with the dialogue but slowing down would help to make those moments stand out more.
You finally posted! Ive been re watching almost all your videos.. Ive finally had the courage to put myself on actors acess because you give me so muh motivation
Thank you for watching and congrats!💖
Wow you recreating the 2nd monologue was so extraordinary
1: I love this! She’s has a talent of knowing and having that situation in her mind and trying to be in the shoes but try to be in the real shoes like you wouldnt know what to say immediately so keep that in mind for now
2:ur beautiful and ur emotion THE REALNESS ✨ OMG I WOULD TAKE U IN UR SO GOOOD OMG ITS SO DAM AMAZING IM SO IMPRESSED AHHHHHHH
3:He knows what is in and what is happening I can actually picture what’s going on the tears and his facial expression is amazing. AMAZING ✨
So exited to watch!!
I feel like for monologue #2, it would be more realistic and touch the audience more if throughout the monologue we see her slowly get more and more sad and THEN the tears come down (though i'd only do this if I genuinely feel it, we can tell when it's forced). I often hear from acting workshops that starting with a lot of emotion right off the bat isn't always the best choice (though ofc there are exceptions)
Hellooo ive been watching you so much and you literally led me to the industry
Ahhh this made my day!🥺
@@MakaylaLysiak omgggggg you actually replied OMG like literally no one ever replies to my comment and you made my day too 😭😭💛💛💛💛❤💛❤💛❤💛❤💛❤💛💙💚💙💚💙💚💜💚💜💜💚💜💚❤💛💛❤💛❤💙💚💙💙💚💗💗💗💗💗💗💌💗💌💗💚💗💚💚💗💗💚💛❤💛❤💙💚💜
@@MakaylaLysiak but for real, without you i wouldve been nothing and you, you are amazing
This is gonna be so good!
The 3 monologue did an absolutely amazing job!! I hope one day I can become just like that guy and you Makayla, when I started my first acting last year in 2023 or 2022 I did such an amazing job with my singing for all the musical theater that I've done in my old school. Great job too both of the monologues that had a lot of timing in their work to bring out the sadness and anger
Good job guys!!!!!! I am still a beginning my acting career.
Do u still do accept monologues to react to? even though its 2024?
Love your vids ur teaching me so much thanks
looking forward to the part two , I'm going to send my monologue in 🥺
Yay! 💖 emailing it to me is the best option 🥰
Last dude was crazy, definitely wont be suprised if i see him on my TV soon
the 💕💅🏻oH sNaP 💅🏻💕 got me
I absolutly love your channel you are so inspiring! I have started taking drama classes and will be auditioning for an acting company who take my headshots and book me roles and everything! If i don't get in then i will try self submission websites instead. Fingers crossed i book a role! Hope this works out for me and one day i can be as talented as you are (:
I WANT A PART 2 !!
You inspire me, I’m new but I’m very excited to be apart of this fandom,I asked my mom If I can Act,I’m starting speech so I can do better on my scripts and jobs 😊
Girl that is excellent how u just made your self cry
We need more videos like these🍐🍐🥺
This is awesome!!! All the actors are so good!! Could you do an actor terminology video? That would help so much!
That could be really fun! Thanks for the video idea💖
Please make a pt two id love to participate!
Will do!💖
I really liked the last one.
Great performance.
I am such a big fan!!!!
Omg I can’t believe I’m so early!! Love your videos they’re so entraining! 🫶🏻
Thank you!
They just inspired me to go record a monologue!! 🌟💖
I want these monologues please!
all of them were so good!!!!
Could you make a vid where it goes into detail about how to go from an acting class to find and get an agent?
I loved the second one hunger games is my favourite movie
Most of these are really good 😊
ALSO OMG! Im now a backstage member with your code from i think 2 videos back. Best decision ever! I used your resume video to create a resume without much experience and im working on getting headshots soon
So happy to hear this 💖 have fun auditioning!
how do u keep up with school while acting, also do you do in person or online? you really inspire me and i have been watching your videos for awhile your amazing!!
Thank you Makayla ❤
I really enjoyed Jacks it was really nice, I also love your channel you are so fun to watch😊
Thank you for watching!💖
Can you go over how to DO a monologue? Because monologues are so different to scenes, and I feel like there's a skill to doing them that I haven't yet mastered.
Omg I remember that scene in the hunger games Wow it was amazing
I have never seen an actress on UA-cam she is amazing
Please make a part 2
This is so cool!
Amazing job everyone!
you did a great job thank you for helping us
🥹💖
The first one was amazing...SHE HAS THE LOOK
Hi Makayla, I was wondering, in a series you do the table read, then you rehearse the script on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and then the episode is filmed? It’s one week per episode right?
Thank you for your time.
Usually for tv you don’t spend a lot of time if any rehearsing
Oh my gosh, I LOVE acting and as I watched your video I was kinda thinking up this scene in my head that I would write for a monologue... It made me really excited to like try acting out that scene I made up in front of a mirror and or whatever, but I have three older brothers who don't appreciate my skillz so if they heard me I'd never hear the end of it. And besides that, I'm only 13, it's Summer, and I'm homeschooled so I NEVER get a chance to act unless I'm upset in front of people lol. But if I catch a time I'm home alone, I'll definitely try it. How did these people get these videos to you?
Are we allow to send one to you if/of when you plan to make another one of these? Your opinions and advices are so honestly strong and useful. I like making monologue ideas and wanna do them. However, I don't know how because the way I write them includes more than one character in the scene.
I’m still a beginner. I wanna be a comedian. I actually have inspiration because of you.
AHAHHHAHH IVE BEEEN WAITING FOR THISSS .. also vid rec "things i wish i knew before acting"
With number two I started freaking out immediately because I remember that line from hunger games in that scene in the movie made me cry
The best one is number three bravo 👏 amazing
More! More! More! More! More! More! More! More! Of the submissions!! I too feel professional criticising😁 I can't even do better🤣😭
My one gripe with the last one is when jack wasn't doing his hand movements his hands came down in a weird or awkward position for someone that's angry and yelling
REALLLY GOOD
