Thank you so very much. Very aspiring. I have been looking for a photographer in Fort Worth Texas right now. And an acting school! =) thank you again.
Bless you for posting these vids to help encourage others. Even though I feel you'll go very far regardless, I'm still going to wish you well because I see a genuine and positive soul before me. I'm 40, but still look 30, with a look that's somewhere between Harrison Ford and George Michael and have thought about doing what you're doing, but there always seems to be important distractions in my life, and I worry about un unbalanced life. Love and Gods Blessings, Steve
You're great. Your attitude is exactly right. I work in casting and trust me, directors/agency/producers, etc., will want to spend days on a set with someone like you as opposed to an equally talented person whose attitude questionable. I've even seen actors with MORE talent get passed over for someone with less talent but who are more positive. Keep doing what you're doing...
If I am the only source of legal tender, and all money I create for the country is LOANED at interest, where does the interest money come from? Only from additional loans. This is how the Federal Reserve works and explains why the national debt has reached $9 trillion. See google videos "Money as Debt" and "Fiat Empire".
I just came across your video today. I just took a class about starting a career in acting. By pure luck my first two roles without any acting classes were in a George Clooney movie called Leatherheads and now I am in a film called Gospel Hill with Julia Stiles, Danny Glover and Angela Bassett. What you said about networking and marketing yourself is one of the main success factors.
Acting , in my view, is a gift, is a talent. Either u have it or u don't, and u cannot acquire such a talent in any acting school. In acting school u can only improve the talent that u already have. And what do I mean by acting talent? A good question. By acting talent I mean convincing me, a viewer, that the way of speaking, behaving, and especially emotional behaving of an actor or actress in a movie, is like real, it should be like in real life.
if ur dick is not enough for being a pornstar, u can use your ass. but this way a bit painy. but i guarantee if u use ur ass for being a pornstar, u will be a most famous pornstar ever. dont write uninterested comment to uninterested videos dude.
there's no such thing as an "actress" in the industry anymore. male and female performers are now "equal", so they're all actors.. i guess. that's what my actor friend said.
Jesus! All the guys posting under me are assholes. Lucy, thanks for the advice. I'm trying to become an actor. Maybe I should start a youtube blog, yours seems to be fairly succesful. Godd luck.
Lucy, why dont you tape yourself actually acting different parts? Or, make short movies with your camera man friend that shows you acting in short plays or sketches and put them on youtube. That would be great promotion for you, we, the world, and the agents who go online can see you actually acting in different genres. We want to see you acting.Or, at least, I do. Visit me in Toronto sometimes. A lot of Hollywood movies are shot here.
yeah thats so true, i recently got an agent and she was explaining to me all the essentials involved with the industry, the photoes and look is important for marketing and so is skill... but you gotta be carefull who you choose, this is really good advice, pretty much what my agent told me. this info is really good ppl... take notice :P
Great Lucy to put such as these out to help others. I had thought some others parts were as important too, if watch tv or movies. I think your great, smart and for sure a hard worker. To end, the shirt seem have a button or two open showing some good parts too that helps with some casting.
Evangeline Lilly, the actor who portrays Kate on the hit TV show Lost, was a struggling university student in Jan. 2004. Two months later, she was on the set of Lost in Hawaii. ( No previous acting experience ) I wish a similar Cinderella story on you.
Lucy, everytime I watch your blogs I think how amazing and talented you are. You are so unique and it makes me sad that you STILL haven't gotten a role in a movie. I can see you play so many different characters! Is there anyway we can help to get your noticed out there??
Lucy, don't bother with the haters. Don't waste your energy, you don't have anything to explain. Start now, when you get famous, you cannot care what others think!
Get the best photography you can afford, I can't emphasize this strongly enough..Just because a photographer does portraits doesn't mean they can do headshots..Lose a gig because you 'chinced' on a headshot, and you'll hate yourself..If you're serious expect to pay between $1500-4000 for headshots that transform producers and casting agents to take 'time' to really notice you & fight to find reasons to hire you..All of this only really matters--If you're serious..
Accidentally I found a video of Esmée Denters on YouTube. She is from the Netherlands. Have a look what she has achieved. I don't know how much the story is made up.
it's interesting how much people read into things. here's a girl, simply speaking to the camera, giving her thoughts, her opinions and viewers want to place these assumptions on her. if she gives too much detail she's a know-it-all, if she is too vague then she's thought to be faking and a phony. I appreciate her efforts to put herself out here on youtube and to take a lot of the crap she receives from viewers.
I agree, though she's got a long way to go. She could start with educational/promotional material. Good voice, diction and easy on the eyes(better than some of the established stars). From what I've seen she could use more acting lessons. Move to New York girl!
These seem really informative...thanks for putting in the time to make these videos..most people are only in it for themselves so it is refreshing to come across someone who is willing to help others...good job
Good video series... keep on plugging. You just might want to skip the head shot with the Notre Dame shirt. ND is the most hated school on the west coast esp. with the USC & UCLA folk!
Yes, I wish she would refer to herself as an actRESS too, but in fairness to her can you spell ' a lot' as 'a lot' and not 'alot', since they are two different words. The 'a' is an article like 'a' or 'the', and lot is ..well , lot. Like 'a whole lot of nothing'.
i dont know how to say this without sounding mean/depressing you...but i just realized i first came across your videos over 6 months ago and it doesn't seem like you'e booked anything. do u have a "side"job?
Lucy, you are doing a great job on talking about how to get your foot in the door with acting. I know I'm learning a lot from your blogs and I hope you keep talking about it. I am curious. Are most auditions in the am and the afternoon's? What kind of job to take if wanting to act? A night time gig? I hear coffee shops and waiting table's are the best to have...?
" It's P.C. because of the way it is spelled. It ends in 'or' which is gender-neutral. There was never a need for someone to coin "actress" in the first place.
(How do you say doctor for a woman.. doctress? I think not) " Though you make a good point there, Would you call a female teacher a teachress? No, so I think it is more random than that... I could be wrong though... I don't know.
Should we start referring to women as "he" or "Mr." or "sir"? Just because it's 2007 doesn't mean we should be suspending the basic rules of English usage and grammar.
Even in 2007, women and men maintain significant sexual differences, check the anatomy book. One isn't better than the other but they are different nonetheless. Calling a woman an actress isn't necessarily a bad thing or women would be pissed to get the award for best actress at the oscars. As far as I know, it's still an honor. I did like your point about the term "doctor" being used for women, very similar indeed.
No, you fucking moron. Actor is a masculine noun, Actress is feminine noun. Don't believe me? Watch the Academy Awards next year and see who stands up for each category. I guess they are wrong too?
And the word is spelled "asanine." You know absolutely nothing, so just shut the fuck up.
Why not participate in the "Youtube as one" gathering? It seems to be picking up steam with growing interest and coverage by the media. Something might come out of that for you or at least increase exposure.
I still don't know what I want to be. Well, I love to write, and I love to assist production staff, I love to change my voice, I love to sing, I love to write and create song lyrics, and I have an agent who doesn't help anyone. You will be a great actor before me :)
Oy, k, first of all, ignore all of the disgusting and/or mean comments that ppl leave. Ppl who say things like that are obviouslly messed up. You hair is so gorgeous btw! I'm sure these tips are really helpful to aspiring actors! Thank you on their behalf and keep up all your awesome work! :)
That's correct. The OSCARS set the standard for performers in the film industry and they call women who act "actresses". Check the list of nominees, there is not one woman in the "actor" category. Touche! I also checked with some acting friends in New York and overthere they make the distinction between actor and actress. Well, whatever floats your boat, I'm fine either way.
No. I suggest you look it up in the encyclopedia. :)
The word "actor" may be used to refer to a male or female performer; this was the original use of the term.[1] Some modern style guides recommend using "actor" as a gender-neutral term for both male and females, regarding "actress" as sexist.[2] Some female performers prefer the term "actress", while others prefer "actor".
Thanks, I looked it up on Merriam-Webster. It said that an actress was a woman was is an actor. So perhaps the term is used interchangeably, it just sounds aweful weird, I guess I don't hear it enough.
She has enough experience seeking acting gigs to share her vast knowledge with other actors to be. Besides, she's a nice lady. All her information is accurate, I know, I myself did a bit of acting. Stop harrassing YouTubers all over this site and get a life sir.
Harrassing? She posted a video and opened it for comments. If she doesn't want criticism she should keep her videos private or disable comments. Either way I don't give a flying fuck for your views.
Why don't you make yourself useful and perhaps make a video on how to lift heavy garbage cans and then dumping then into large garbage trucks. I'm guessing that's what you might do for a living judging from your comments here and on my channel.
Now you are saying that movie critics should also be film makers or that food critics should also be chefs. Just because she wants to be an actress and make it big in Hollywood does not make it so. Neither are you and if you do not have a thick skin, you should give up too. You know what I see? You are dumping your frustrations on me and others who dare to raise questions on why you failed on your life. I'm sticking to the issue and you are going for personal attacks. Grow up, dildo.
You said she's someone "who is not an actor". That sounds like a personal attack to me. If you are going to critize this very nice lady, why don't you critize the content of her video instead. My skin is very thick and I'm content with where I am in life sir. By the way, she's an actor not an actress, you ignorant goofball.
Wow, I would criticize the entire content of her video if she was an "actor", but she is not. No, you are not content with your life, you are an unhappy underachiever whining bitch. Next you are going to say that Bush cannot be criticized unless the critic has been president. By loser, I have other things to do besides trying to argue with a 7 year old whining little bitch.
A lot of people ask for my advice on acting, that is why I started these type blogs. I'm just trying to help and don't think I'm an expert or anything.
I think you give great advice. I do not want to be an actor, but I want to be a writer and it's always great to get the advice from an actor because these are the people who will make your character come alive. Plus, you are helping me learn Hollywood Lingo. LOL! Keep them coming! You are fantastic!
lol, I'm in love with Lucy in the black dress headshot. She looks like a great leading lady for a Zorro remake? Maybe act next to "how you say",lol Antonio Banderas.
How about telling those wannabe actors what the 3 major sites are where you submit your headshots? Also, I´d like to see a list of what you SHOULDN´T do or the myths of how to become an actor. Does stalking industry people ever work?
so, only those two moments would be great: before the audition.. we would be able to see the excitement: what's gonna happen there? And after: will I have a call back? Things like that. Well.. its just an idea. and again.. I want to wish u good luck in your project.
Hello Lucy. It was another great movie. Can I give you an idea for a further video? You could film the time before and the time after one audition. It would be interesting if you could film something inside the audition too.. but it is probably forbidden..
You know the old saying - those who can do, those who can't teach. You should consider making "how to become an actor" self-help videos, or be a teacher at an actors college or something. I used to think you werent a good actor until i saw ur last impressions video, that opened my eyes. But it sounds like you have been struggling so yeah i dont know hehe It just came to me.
Laura...AT LEAST you are showing your cleavage in this video. Please, please, please...in order to be noticed you need to show your big, round ass as well. Next video, remember, your big booty and your big breasts.
I dont know but, to become an actor you need above all! luck

Lucy, isn't "actor" the term used when speaking about an acting male and "actress" the term for the acting woman?
fasteddy07 4 years ago
I like to say "actor" for women as well. Why distinguish-- you don't call a female doctor "doctress."

Then why in the Oscars and IFC awards, is there a category for BEST ACTRESS?
holden190 4 years ago
That's correct. The OSCARS set the standard for performers in the film industry and they call women who act "actresses". Check the list of nominees, there is not one woman in the "actor" category. Touche! I also checked with some acting friends in New York and overthere they make the distinction between actor and actress. Well, whatever floats your boat, I'm fine either way.
fasteddy07 4 years ago
No. I suggest you look it up in the encyclopedia. :)
The word "actor" may be used to refer to a male or female performer; this was the original use of the term.[1] Some modern style guides recommend using "actor" as a gender-neutral term for both male and females, regarding "actress" as sexist.[2] Some female performers prefer the term "actress", while others prefer "actor".

Thanks, I looked it up on Merriam-Webster. It said that an actress was a woman was is an actor. So perhaps the term is used interchangeably, it just sounds aweful weird, I guess I don't hear it enough.

Wow, an "actor survival guide" by someone who is not an actor.

She has enough experience seeking acting gigs to share her vast knowledge with other actors to be. Besides, she's a nice lady. All her information is accurate, I know, I myself did a bit of acting. Stop harrassing YouTubers all over this site and get a life sir.
7seveng7 4 years ago
Harrassing? She posted a video and opened it for comments. If she doesn't want criticism she should keep her videos private or disable comments. Either way I don't give a flying fuck for your views.
nyguy 4 years ago
Why don't you make yourself useful and perhaps make a video on how to lift heavy garbage cans and then dumping then into large garbage trucks. I'm guessing that's what you might do for a living judging from your comments here and on my channel.
7seveng7 4 years ago
Now you are saying that movie critics should also be film makers or that food critics should also be chefs. Just because she wants to be an actress and make it big in Hollywood does not make it so. Neither are you and if you do not have a thick skin, you should give up too. You know what I see? You are dumping your frustrations on me and others who dare to raise questions on why you failed on your life. I'm sticking to the issue and you are going for personal attacks. Grow up, dildo.
nyguy 4 years ago
You said she's someone "who is not an actor". That sounds like a personal attack to me. If you are going to critize this very nice lady, why don't you critize the content of her video instead. My skin is very thick and I'm content with where I am in life sir. By the way, she's an actor not an actress, you ignorant goofball.
7seveng7 4 years ago
Wow, I would criticize the entire content of her video if she was an "actor", but she is not. No, you are not content with your life, you are an unhappy underachiever whining bitch. Next you are going to say that Bush cannot be criticized unless the critic has been president. By loser, I have other things to do besides trying to argue with a 7 year old whining little bitch.

I think you give great advice. I do not want to be an actor, but I want to be a writer and it's always great to get the advice from an actor because these are the people who will make your character come alive. Plus, you are helping me learn Hollywood Lingo. LOL! Keep them coming! You are fantastic!

so, only those two moments would be great: before the audition.. we would be able to see the excitement: what's gonna happen there? And after: will I have a call back? Things like that. Well.. its just an idea. and again.. I want to wish u good luck in your project.
ppuerj 4 years ago
Hello Lucy. It was another great movie. Can I give you an idea for a further video? You could film the time before and the time after one audition. It would be interesting if you could film something inside the audition too.. but it is probably forbidden..

You know the old saying - those who can do, those who can't teach. You should consider making "how to become an actor" self-help videos, or be a teacher at an actors college or something. I used to think you werent a good actor until i saw ur last impressions video, that opened my eyes. But it sounds like you have been struggling so yeah i dont know hehe It just came to me.
