[shkitkat]

you are good i am going to try out for the disney channel ( well im thinking about it not sure) so i need help

[LoveForDrama]

EXCELLENT!! THANK YOU! :)

[c0kar7]

first lesson in being a great actor is be good looking and tall.

[lacconi1]

@c0kar7

I've never seen a tall actor, they are all 5 foot tall.

[Willowispp]

@c0kar7 really? not many actors are tall, maybe the men are but not many females.

[shotym34]

wow what great information, thank you!

[Marciadedeckere]

but it takes so much more then me, I need you, to please check out my videos, I need advice, encouragment, teaching, crafting, shaping, if you feel like you can take a look at my channel please do so...if you feel like telling someone else, about spreading this love, to anyone please do so...

Thank you so much.

[Marciadedeckere]

I want EVERYTHING that he is talking about... Acting on film is a special sort of magic, like a potion, everything needs to go into the pot, all those magical ingredients, and then they need to mix, but it takes the time, and those magic words that makes it happen. I really really believe that it can....acting is my love love love,

[xCOMPETITIONx]

I can act better than anyone in the video

[345vertify1]

this guy knows about he speaks.

[b00i00d]

This is not about acting, really, its about work-life balance, life coaching...

[fishSG1]

Which is what real acting coaching is. Without these things you can't be a great actor.

[b00i00d]

Well, I disagree. There are a lot of great actors, including eponymous, who have/had real bad work-life balance, e.g. Ledger, Brando, yet it was this turbulence that brought that magic out of their acting. I'm not saying everybody should live like that, and this video's advice can be quite useful to many people, not neceserily actors, but it seems we live in an age of over-prescription and this is an example...

[Willowispp]

@b00i00d The turbulence helped because in acting, using life experience as motivation is helpful. However, balance allows us to live better. It gives us a peace of mine, which is why it is encouraged.

[AtLastOnTheGround]

This guy is awesome.

And he reminds me of a black Christopher Walken.

[leosin03]

It sounds to me that he was speaking out to everybody and actors as well.

Thanks for upload!

[Dynaverse]

No this video is showing psychological principles about healthy living, it has nothing to do with acting.

[fishSG1]

You are very very very wrong. Things he is talking about are essential for almost if not all actor. You are foolish for believing otherwise

[ToyinJoseph]

dude is smart....period

[davejobsen]

this video is showing how you act

[crapbag120787]

[0joaopedroveiga0]

darwin helping god... how ironic =)

[hawkhandsaw]

Very good advice. I would add that every actor should aquaint themselves with the basics of business and marketing which are just as important as all the artistic, spiritual aspects of acting-if not more so. These are the areas most actors neglect and then wonder why they can't find work.

[NinjaLikeTeaBagger]

hawkhandsaw,

I completely agree. Is there any avenues for an actor to learn this? A lot of actors are the artistic type and don't do to well in the traditional learning aspects such as college.

Do you know of any alternative educational avenues that an actor could acquire a familiarization of basic business and marketing? Actors obviously don't need a degree to learn it... they just need to learn it.

[deatune]

Good advice.
