  • im starting acting

  • this not cool fuck djkgvkjlfdh kjl

  • Comment removed

  • What a dumb question. You're probably pretty dumb, so I wont give you a hard time.

  • @h5y Haha yeah that was a bit of a dumb question.

  • DONT PRACTICE IN FRONT OF AN EFFING MIRROR! GEEZ

    

  • I really want to be an actor, but I have terrible anxiety attacks. Anyone have any advice?

  • @KitCat9578 I mean actress lol

  • @KitCat9578 Get over it. It's really not that scary, thats my only advice.

  • @KitCat9578 Try out for a really small part in a play or something where you don't have to talk, and just get used to the feeling of being onstage. Then work your way up into bigger roles. Sorry if its not very helpful but it worked for me.

  • i hope these tips work, i am going to audition for a big-ish part in a musical and this is really important to me. Iv never worked so hard on something

  • Thnx so much a lot of help

  • i think the name cook is good 4 ya

    cuz ur mouth is big and saying alot of shit

  • Everyone says i'm gonna become famous from my "looks." cuz apperantly i have that face that everyone loves and looks at. like my sister ^-^

    but i'm starting to go to additions....i had one person ask me to be in they're youtube video but i turned them down cuz it was weird...

  • I hope i can be famous one day i want to meet my idol

  • @tavonmyersoct5 :) who's your idol?

  • Really all you have to do is mentally put yourself in the scene. As if you were the character you play yourself. That's the point of acting. I've been an actor for years, trust me. Just have some history on your show and role, and in a few days, your not an actor, your the character itself.

  • Hi, I really need more tips! I'm so nervous, I might get an audition for a movie!! And it's my first time! SO HELP PLZ!!!!!!!

  • Thank you, I have a production on tuesday, Its a spoof on robin hood, I am the prince, I have to be winy and annoying, I CANNOT WAIT! I am gonna go record myself and watch my facials....

  • I've always wanted to be a director that's one of the hard jobs of movie making.

  • Comment removed

  • Big audition coming up in a few weeks, any tips help, thanks

  • i have an audtion today at six im so scareddd!

  • @RenaBena98 how did it go??

  • i loved Ivana chubbuck book 'the power of the actor'..its amazing and v specific...love her technique...and i agree never look in the mirror and act,it does make u self conscious..best is to tape urself and watch!!

  • you know the problem? u all sound like dreamers with no confidence and this kind of shit takes confidence you can have all the advice in the world, but without the mazti to believe that you can do it, you will fall flat on your face at auditions

  • @Oct0b3rsGh0st that's cuz they all suck...not in a bad way

  • @Oct0b3rsGh0st well, you're supposed to fall flat on your face at first. It builds your confidence and helps you to understand that most of the time you will not get the part

  • i will take any sort of help thank you

    and this video was to inform you so if ur not going to take anything from it why keep watching? its qwite ignorante jundging on apperence and i should no iam african american

  • thank you

  • she doesn't sound like a good actor... and if shes not a good actor.. then im not going to take any tips from here.

  • agree with dynaverse.

    usless. Actors should never look in the mirror, yes you can see what you do but it makes you selfconcious and trying to force out emotion by controlling ur facial expression. Instead you should let the emotion flow and let that evoke ur facial expression.

    This lady doesn't have a clue what she is doing

  • another useless video by expert village

  • i recommend reading william esper's book "the actor's art and craft" as well as the practical handbook for the actor. truth in comedy is also great.

  • - Theater is a great workout, and I know because I am doing theater itself. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there should be courses for acting. I'm not sure. Good luck! And sorry for my bad English, translated the most by googleX)

  • I`m 30 and i look 24. Always had a sense for humor and just act. I never been on an audition and i`d love to be an actor besides just a musician and so many people told me to try it out cause they could see me in certain roles. Well i gotta try somewhere.

  • did u try? cause this comment is 2 months old! :)

  • I tried but if you wanna go for an audition you have to pay a few hundreds of dollars to even know when and where the auditions will be held. I don`t have comp cards but i do have pro shots of me. I have sooo many ideas for a movie project or even commercials and it seems like i will end up doing it myself if i can`t then it`s another life wasted.

  • did u go 2 an audition?

    am sr if am asking 2 much , but am 14 and am going 2 acting class but the idea of going 2 am audition scares the shit out of me ! lol ;p

    if u did go 2 an audition how was it ???

  • Thank you

  • cool!

  • i want to be an actor so bad,I've been dreaming to be a singer and actor for years! I'm actually really good at both.i wonder if they let 10 yr old kids in.

  • Omg! Same here everyone thinks i may too young or too old for parts!!

  • Of course as they take the young people, if you are good. Take Daniel Radcliffe as an example, he began his career as Harry Potter when he was only 11-12 years. But you do not have everything in a hurry, for it requires a lot of training. If you are not already practicing in a theater, it's a testimonials. -

  • @XoxoSparkles1

    I know how it feels like, I wanna be an actor soooo bad too. And I'm ten years old too.

  • @XoxoSparkles1 well they do, but good luck, because you will be competing with thousands of others who all believe they are great as well. Not saying that they(You included) arent good, but theres competition, and you have to be willing to take any part (pretty much)

  • i hav i aodison so ty

  • Oh Lass It's not that easy in London.

  • ive always wanted to be an actress....but i dont know where to find a acting school....hmmm i wonder if acting schools can teach a 13 yo

  • What The Hell!? She Is A "Casting Director" And She Cant Even Read Correctly?! Uh Huh Nice

  • very good advice for acting. Also those who are union can go to free seminars to touch up on your acting skills. I been to a couple of seminars there great . Keep in mind not all acting seminars are at the new scientology building for union actors in the guild.

  • does this help???

  • i have a realy bad nervous habit of swaying from side to side do you have any tips on how to fix this

  • Comment removed

  • Oh my goddd, me tooo!

  • instead of standing in one spot,move around

  • I would assume that the swaying comes from an uncertainty of what to do, so really think about why you're character is saying what they're saying and how they would move (if at all) while saying what they are. Generally, one's movement increases with fervor. The more energized a character is, the more they move. A small-talk conversation in an elevator, however, wouldn't require any movement and would actually look a little silly with too much physical acting.

  • i use to be like that , make eye contact right ? but stay more focused on what you have to do , i know its hard not to think about being judged. but if you pay no mind what so ever youll do amazing start by having 'fake' auditions in front of friends and family . it helps

  • um just kinda practice workn on it in the mirror i guess like when u notice urself doing it imagine wut the casting directors think n straighten up ya know

  • bullshit

  • how so??

  • I want to rip those buttons open. Oh yes

  • ooo my god, you are so smart!!!!!!

  • i started my acting class today im 14 so i was very nervous

  • was it fun?

  • Well cool

  • thats good i kinda wanna sign up...

  • You sould its realy fun and it helps with cinfidence, i use to be realy shy still am a bit but you can tell not as much

  • thats good. Sometimes i am a very shy person as well.

  • Yea.I still can be shy like on saturday there was something for parents i realy didnt want to get up and do my scene but i was defently glad i did,i realy want to be in movies or even...eastenders lol so it could be a good impact on experience

  • i think you aught to be an eastender!!!

  • Haha i wish ;D

  • me too!

  • lol

  • practice in a mirror? Very amatuer advice.

  • You're vain.

    It's not a very delicate atribute,

  • Pride pulls you down lower than you were before you had anything to be proud of

  • This might work for some of you guys. Type in MODEL SLASH ACTOR in the bar.

    Czech it.

  • very nice video taping and watching yourself idea

  • you are the best i will try that thanks

  • ......She's a casting director.... i think she knows the kinds of details she's looking for in an audition.

  • All of this is HORRIBLE ADVICE!!! If you want advice on acting, Look up Sanford Meisner and watch whatever you can find. This lady is a hack, but she doesn't know it, so don't hate her, most of these acting teachers are well meaning but have suffered the misfortune of bad training.

  • i always wanted to go to acting class..

    but im insanly shy so that sucks for me... xD

  • yes

  • I am Starting Acting

  • @Hansamba Me too.  I've been practicing my acting routine so long, I can't wait to go back to school and taking up drama classes right away.

  • Comment removed

  • you need your head deflating you bigheaded idiot Ana.

  • @AnaSrisaringkarn are you acting now?

    its been two years, i want to know

  • @AnaSrisaringkarn Does it cossed Money?

  • did u take acting lessons wen u were little well if u didnt u probally will not make auditions and if u did u then ur in luck

  • watch yourself in front of the mirror so you can see your facial expressions. LOL!! OMG this sooo amateur

  • I went to an acting class not to long ago, and one of the things they said NOT to do was look in the mirror, funny right?

  • Really? I always practice in front of a mirror. I do that until I'm happy with my expressions then I take the mirror down and practice just doing it to the wall, or video taping myself.

  • My teachers said to just video tape yourself, because if you do it infront of the mirror it's too rehearsed. Of course, their going by the Meisner acting process, so they rely alot on improv. But their main thing about it was that some things that look in mirror, may look funny on camera. But, if your video taping yourself afterwards I guess that works because your "refining" your lines :P

  • Why sould you not look at yourself in the mirror

  • i love her idea about video tipe it then watch it =) lol

  • dont take acting classes, read acting books. if you take acting classes, your just copying what the instructor is doing, so your moving just like millions of other people, not your natural way

  • how about both? :P

  • ehh not sure... lol, youtube Michael Caines acting thing

  • yeah but the only problem is.. you have to show that you have experience in person as well as on paper.

  • this helped me alot thxx

  • uh... this didnt help... but i used to hav this nervous habit of swinging my leg when i talked

  • sorry but why tel me to get a good acting class when people r here lukin for answers from you ...

    i dont get it ..

    it made me turn it off straight away

  • what country should i go if i want to be an actor? cus wales is crap country

  • Trust me you don't want to live in L.A. (like me) I would much rather live in Brittan...The laws are completely brutal, and the crime sucks!

    hope this helps!!

  • why wouldn't i live in L.A.?

  • where in wales? i live in south wales and i go to this great screen acting class taught by amazing people who are in the industry.

  • How did this video that gives us tips on acting become an athiest/christian debate? PEOPLE THIS IS ALL ABOUT ACTING STOP IT!!!

  • I know! Some people... *Shakes head in a disappointed fashion*

  • i'm going to meet with a casting director soon, just to talk and so that she can point me in some kind of a direction. i am so nervous and i'm worried that she will think me childish and inexperianced (which i geuss i am!)...does anybody have any tips for me?

  • don't listen to her. she's full of crap. if you really want to know how to become a better actor ask someone who isn't reading from a book. Your not an actor if you didn't know what she just told you.

  • thanks a lot!!

  • god shes annoying

  • (continued from last comment). I cannot disproove all possilbe gods, but it is very easy to disproove the Christian one.

    1. Eart was created due to a "big bang" of sorts. This has been prooven by a lot of scientists. This does not mean the universe came this way but the earth did.

    2. There was life before humans which evolvoved into us (Adam and Eve down the drain)

    3. The world died due to a flood (Noahs Ark). Where are all the dead people?

  • woow--Videos: 67675

    and nice video

  • haha

    ok tip number one

    when going into audition

    do your make up in a mirror

    jesus did you see her face

  • I just dont understand what this has to do with this video, I thinks it's kind of helpful I've been scouted a couple a times but I don't have any thrive to get into this kind of world... but I love to wirte and draw and this wil definetly help me with my story! Thank you Expert Village

  • zoogler ur a fuucking retard

  • Yeah. He tries to be. He likes being like that on Youtube. Its because he is really smart in real life, and he doesnt get to swear at people. He is a cool guy thought.

  • i tried practicing in front of the mirror and couldn't take it also. i just can't look at myself. I'd rather video tape myself with my camcorder.

  • Instinct and the family from hell and beyond hahahaha!No need fer acting lessons...ay!

  • ugly as hell.

  • Don't totally agree with that. I live in Britain and have the best Drama Schools and Im auditioning now, I recomend Elecution lessones and diffently a good coach but take each step at a time. Check Out Mesiener technquie on here.

  • THANKS!! its my dream to become an actress and this helped me alot

  • You aint gonna make it considering you are christian.

  • well did you know miley cyrus is a christian. And you never know what might happen.

  • Who the hell is miley cyrus? Prooves my point.

  • umm then you obviously have never heard of billy ray cryus or disney channel or tat she is just the most famous teenager in the world literally. And you are provably just saying that to get me down. it wont work

  • I am not saying it to get you down. I have no idea who this person is. i do not know the names of any teenage actors as they suck. I can say that I act better than any teenage actor out at hte moment. Literally. I have a pro teacher and he says most teen actors suck. The only good teen actor I have ever see is kirsten dunst back in Jumanji. And i am just kidding about the Christianity thing and her not making it. I am atheasit so I like to mock religious fools.

  • First of all, How old are you? Second of all , I dont think of it as religion. Third, Not all teenagers suck at acting most people who arent on t.v are much better than the people on t.v so yeah. anyways bye

  • Thats why I can't stand atheists, their all pricks no matter how hard someone tries to fathom.

  • People may judge me as much as they want, i will not judge them, People may hate me or say whatever they want , i will not hate them.

  • FirstOfAllAtheistsAreRight.Sci­enceIsOnOurSide. ChrisitansOnlyHaveTheBibleWhic­hWasWrittenByMan and has hundreds of contredictions in it. Even the bible describes your "loving god" as a murderous freak who killed the entire world and condoned slavery. Ill stick with not following the orders of some freak who has never reveled himself to us. And dont say that he has, in the form of miracles. One child survives from a house falling down and people are calling it a miracle.How about the other people?

  • well she makes more money at 14 and 15 then you will ever do in your whole life

  • Says you. I am arleady a millionaire. From my dads pocket of course, but big deal. And I am far more educated than you. Before making lame ass arguments and resorting to insults, check the evidence. Then come back and apologise for being wrong about god. He dont exist.

  • Okay, whatever other lies may or may not be hiding in that comment, I am addressing one. How the heck do you know God doesnt exsist? You havent seen him, you havent heard him, and its probably because your too ignorant and clogged up in your own disgraceful and lying sins. So before you say dumb crud like that, get your facts straight, and like you said "check the evidence". Open up a little, maybe be human and give some compassion, and care about someone other than yourself.

  • Hehe.Zoomer is such a jerk. I know him, he is one of my friends. He is quite rich but not a millionaire. His dad has 1 million dollars so offically yes he would be considered a millionaire but yeah.

    Anyway, I agree with him. The ignorant people are the religious ones who pobobly have never read the bible and found all of its contradictions and lies (I read the bible) or have never even considered the possibility that God may not exist.I know that the Christian god is fake because(Next comment)

  • Before you start asking whether we have proof that God DOESN'T exist, why don't you prove that God does? And no the bible does not prove anything, miracles don't prove anything. The modern world is about data. Show us some data of his existence and I will gladly convert. Come up empty handed and I rest my case.

  • yeah why the hell are there 3 crosses just randomly on a hill in jerusalem madness I tell U madness!!! ohh yeah and us finding scrolls about jesus and God in Africa which was dated to years before christity spread there explain that... please do because to me I feel there is no God........

  • Amen, pardon the pun xD but yes there is no God. If there was he is on crack because there are so many people dieing. Christians condemning everyone who isn't a believer and bombings in HIS name. Such a loving God. If there is one.

  • Pascal's wager.

    enough said.

    And go debate this on a video about the Bible or Atheism or something. ACTING ACTING people.

  • Has it ever occured to you religion is a better thing for the world? Alot of the crimes in the world are commited by people with no religion. It helps people connect and be together, and be a better person. And even if there isn't a heaven or hell (which im sure there is) why not take a shot and aim for heaven, since your going to die anyways, right? I have proof that god and heaven exists. During a neardeathexperience my grandmothersaid God and had ashortconversation.Idontcarewh­atyousayitstrue

  • i disagree,more people have killed in the name of religion, take the catholics for example, they killed millions in the name of the pope.

  • You have yet to learn about the terrors religion bring to people all around the world. What do you think the bombing of the muslim temples are? Its a direct attack on a religion by a religion. Religion is in fact one of the most deadliest things on earth. If you disagree with any relegion they will hate, denounce, and dehumanize you. It is better to go without religion. Mass suicide during the 20th century by a group of religious people proves this point.

  • what a fuck tard

  • Thanks fo the video, it's preety adviceful. I'm thinking of become a model rather because of my physique. And well, plus, acting does help the ability to model of course. Thanks!

  • it is obvious that you don't know anything about acting and how happy can make someone and give a meaning in a life...sympathies man

    the video was great by the way

  • ok so that looking in the mirror thing and practicing is hard for me, only because I have touble looking at my reflection (self esteem issue I guess) is there another way I can practice my facial expressions?

  • You know I was debating wether or not to justfy this reply with one of my own, but I couldn't pass this up, and looking at how you like to make offensive comments about people, you've never met, I conclude that your stupid as fuck, and shouldn't go talking to or about people you have no idea about. And have a nice day

  • um there's brutally honest and there's just rude, and hey people get over little things like that all of the tie, its not the be all end all. By the way I saw no helpful advice in what you said, and no one's trying to be a bitch and that is truely not my name, so don't call me that, I would appreciate that.

  • Gees, who are you to say that? Chill out. She means that it is hard to practice in the mirror because when you are actually acting, it could become harder since you are dependent on the mirror. Stop 8in :-)

  • Yes. I'm pursuing acting now myself so I know it's hard make yourself look into a mirror anyway. Then find an acting coach to help you conquer your fears.

  • Are you comfortable practicing in front of a camcorder (your own if possible?). I don't know what you look like but anyone can have hope - just type in "Celebrities without makeup" here on YouTube. It'll be an instant confidence booster.

  • to tell the truth, that can't look in the mirror thing, must have been just a phase,

    and I'm actuall working on a web series, as a supporting role as well as writer. Well a writer. So things are getting coolness : )

    Thanks Applecineman and The Demoness

  • Good going, PhillyGirl1. I, myself, am about to be in a movie that's being filmed in Philly. Come and check out some of my Youtubes. "Get Rid Of It" got me in the door with this movie coming up.
