    Getting rejection & hearing no is very hard & difficult but it doesnā€™t stop me feeling keep going. I already done about 6 movies and going to my first movie premiere. I canā€™t wait for more and what the future holds šŸŽ¬ā™„ļø
  • @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)

    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!!!

    Itā€™s my absolute DREAM job to be an actress! Iā€™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 youā€™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 youā€™re videos and would not have been able to do this without youā€™re channel šŸ’—
  • @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!
