    We’re back with an updated version of how to become an actor! 🎭😇 Why do YOU want to join the industry?
  • @adamscott4512
    No matter how difficult acting is. I am sticking with it.
  • @angelburley2123
    Getting rejection & hearing no is very hard & difficult but it doesn’t stop me feeling keep going. I already done about 6 movies and going to my first movie premiere. I can’t wait for more and what the future holds 🎬♥️
  • @RayMona
    Just wanted to say, I've been watching your content for some time and was always on the fence about putting myself out there. Last year I finally took the steps to getting my headshots, I slapped together a voice over reel, wrote a reume based on your tips, and within a week of looking for an agent, I landed on an amazing agency in my city. In the last 4 months of being represented, I've managed to get plenty of auditions and even booked my first commercial (one live and two voice over). This year I'd like to put more effort into acting endeavours. Thanks love <3 :)
  • @riixqii
    i've been wanting to become an actress so much but the one and only thing that is stopping me is my social anxiety and shyness. (I would literally do anything to get rid of my social anxiety)
  • I literary started crying because I thought: I FINALLY HAVE A CHANCE! Girl, thank you so much! You are a lifesaver!
  • @smelmo
    I've wanted to become an actor my whole life! I come from a very artistic family and they are very supportive of me and recently I've found myself solidifying the idea of becoming an actress and your youtube channel has really motivated me!! Your acting tips are seriously so thoughtful and the fact that you're sharing them is awesome <3
  • @AnahiCabrera1
    Acting is my DREAM!! It has been my dream since I was 12 (im 18 now) i would have tried to do it sooner but I never had the money or the time. Now that I work and I have a bit more freedom, i can finally try to make my dreams of becoming an actor come true. Ilysm Makayla, your videos are the best!!!
  • @jett8226

  • @maybejuneee
    It’s my absolute DREAM job to be an actress! I’ve been in 3 middle school musicals with 2 leads, but I want to do more. I want to audition for ACTUAL theaters, movies, TV shows, etc. I really hope I can. Thank you so much for being so helpful to me and others!
  • @violette.x
    Makayla I have been watching you’re videos since I was 10 and I am now 14, it has been my dream to be an actor since I was young and I am happy to finally say that I am an actress, I have performed in multiple theatre shows in the west end and this year I am getting acting headshots to begin TV and film acting, I am honestly so grateful and inspired by you’re videos and would not have been able to do this without you’re channel 💗
  • @apollokickz
    i joined an agency and booked my first acting job back in october all because of your videos !!! i had been passionate about acting for a long time. i had been in plays but i wanted to move in front of a camera and didn't know how. i hadn't even taken any acting classes or anything when i booked that job, but your videos were so helpful !! (i currently am taking classes now) thank you for all your help ♡
  • @devongeorge221
    I've always loved watching my favorite actors in tv shows and movies. I have always known that acting is something I want to do, and your videos helped me get the confidence to just go for it. This year my goal is to stick with it no matter how hard it may get. Your videos have been helping me so much in may different ways. Thank you so much for making these kinds of videos!! I have a couple non-union auditions coming up soon, so wish me luck! Also if anyone has any advice for me that would be very much appreciated!
  • @layla.matisse
    I’ve wanted to act for a while and never bothered to go through with it until now. I started acting classes and hopefully I can get somewhere far with this! I wish everyone the best of luck starting their journey just like me!
  • @Olivewilson6078
    I want to become an actor. Im 11 years old. I am just scared that ill be rejected and my parents will lose hope in me.
  • @Naomi_Seaton
    Makayla I am so inspired by your journey! You have helped me, an aspiring actress at 15 years old, to go from parents completely avoiding the idea, to possibly getting an actual agent! Thank you so much!
  • @byronb.
    I'm not an actor, just a movie enthusiast. But I watched this video to the end. Makala has turned into quite a good visual storyteller. That and I find it very difficult to take my eyes off her. ❤ I also loved how how she very coyly dropped that Olvia Rodrigo acting collab into the edit. Smooth. 😂
  • @ivoryy.editss
    THE TIMING OF THIS COULDNT BE BETTER TYSM MAKAYLAAA💕💕💕
  • @lmaoaims
    Hey I’m into acting here! And the best advice I can give to someone just starting out is go for those extra opportunities, I have built a decent portfolio over these two past yrs doing extra work and I’m so grateful. I have had exposure to the film industry and being in front of cameras as well as meeting actors. Now I feel more prepared than ever to apply for and acting agency, I can’t wait!!!😍😍 for reference I’m in the UK and I have done work with, sky sports, Top boy and I recently did a prank show on Nella Roses tapped out.❤❤❤
