I'm not an actor, don't want to be an actor but I stumbled across this video and it was very entertaining and refreshing to watch someone so humble and dedicated to his craft. God bless you!

[@iammargray]

This was very motivating and makes me feel like if I just keep going it will work out. Thank you so much!

[@sovietninja6865]

IamMarGray anything will, it’s just people don’t stick with it when it gets hard.

[@IsabellaDemarko]

Hey dude just wanted to express my appreciation for taking the time to make honest and well put together acting vlogs like this, I'm sure you'll pick up a large audience in no time if you carry on producing good content like you this, i subscribed pretty sharpish. I'm an actor also, just about to graduate and i'm trying to gear my KZbin channel more in the direction of actor based videos, so this is really good stuff to gain inspiration from. Take care and good luck out there! - A fellow actor :)

[@WillyDubz]

Isabella Demarko thanks Isabella! I have more stuff in the works, but it won’t be out for a bit (taking my personal trainer certification test in about a week or so), but once that’s done I’m back!

[@rahsaanephriam48]

I loved this day in the life. Thank you for sharing your journey and your honest real emotional. I'd like to add that I know we constantly tell the youth to not give up, but I think its important to remember that there are 40, & 50 yr olds finally following their heart and going after this dream. Perseverance and patience applies to everyone 🙂

[@officialbaylorbarnes]

Respect. Actor myself based in Nyc, preciate the words of courage. Hope nothing but the best for your future!

[@JFredric]

Good stuff ! Been in the game 15+ years in LA & abroad. What I’ve learned is to find ways to really balance it out , cultivate multiple passions etc .. But the risks have to be factored in !! It’s a long hustle no doubt! Cheers 🍻

[@boydact]

Yes, you better promote Avengers first haha

[@WillyDubz]

Alexander Boyd OF COURSE. YOU KNOW ME TOO WELL.

[@boydact]

@@WillyDubz haha yessss

[@RachaelMaddalena]

Thank you for your care and for your vulnerability. I used to live in LA so these “days in the life videos” are fun to have running in the background of my chore days..

[@AndrewNowacki]

Man you’ve got a great personality and attitude. I wish you all the best and success.

[@WillyDubz]

Thanks Andrew. I appreciate that.

[@judahlopez3668]

Wow I just subscribed! I Just watched you script analysis video and I was like "This is great stuff!" I'm currently 16 and taking multiple acting/auditioning/script analysis online classes that are costing me hundreds of dollars. And watching your videos just makes it all worth it. I Sincerely hope I meet you on set one day! best of luck!

[@kenzocohen1624]

Good luck brother. Acting and getting acting job can be like finding a needle in a hay stack. I have a few friends in LA now looking for their big break. Thanks for sharing.

[@milessara87]

When you said, "When you really care about something and you really work on it, things have a way of working themselves out." That hit me in a good way. I've been acting since the 3rd grade and I wanted to be an actor from the moment I did my first curtain call. I'm planning on moving to la at the end of summer and everything I was worried about when planning on moving there has found a way to work it's self out! I'm very excited to move and to really go after my dream! Also, i'm a new subbie

[@WillyDubz]

Sara Miles thank you Sara! That makes my day!

[@TheBrandonthered]

Im an aspiring actor in college and I just subscribed to you, your insight is very helpful

[@danielkim7841]

You have the face for a movie star plus the passion for the craft and the work ethic. I hope u never quit pursuing acting! ( and as a non actor I know how hard and difficult a road it is!)

[@ZentageHD]

Hey man great vlog, you've got the passion and determination to become something great. I'm trying to find the best possible way into acting for myself. I have the confidence in my self to perform but my dyslexia holds me back when it comes to elements like cold readings and im finding it hard to have the courage to go out and try even though I have this issue. Need more down to earth and real people like you. Even though this was just a 10-minute short vlog, I already feel so much more confident just from your advice.

[@WillyDubz]

Michael Scott a friend of mine (Luke McFarlane) is an established actor with dyslexia. He just has to run his lines a lot more and sometimes with someone else. It is possible!

[@ZentageHD]

@@WillyDubz yeah yeah for sure there are plenty of actors who have it too. Thanks man, appreciate the reply.

[@markcameron2842]

Great video! Where I live the film community is very different than the one out in LA. Often times I'll get called in to read for a part only to see it given to an actor out of LA but given your dedication to the craft I can see why. Also, thanks for keeping it real and not trying to edit yourself with your raw emotions at the end of your video as you teared up. Being an actor myself I've noticed that most people try to hide their emotions but we as actors try to connect to them in order to tap into them later. Keep up the good work! Rooting for ya, Will!

[@Peppersn17]

You're so damn generous sharing these details! This is RARE! Bless you!!

[@kwin6818]

Hello. I just discovered your channel and I have been thinking also on pursuing what might possible awaits me in the entertainment industry because of my love for acting. Keep it up! You're doing amazing!

[@nahls89]

I really appreciate your honesty and vulnerability!! I'm sure you'll get more subscribers and get far in acting! Keep up the good work!

[@jasonnasiry]

You really have the resemblance of chris evans don't know if you ever been told that but you really do.

[@Madeliefschram]

that doggo was soooo cute! Thank you for filming all this! Must be hard on such a busy day. I love your editing style and humor XD

[@elenascaringe-peene825]

Really love your videos- I would love some more of the day in the life videos- it’s so motivating to watch!

[@thejessicapawlak]

Some how I managed to stumble upon this old video and I really needed this today and that little talk about comparing yourself to others and hearing “no” so much.

[@elifahey4446]

Absolutely love all your stuff. There isn't this sort of material anywhere else on KZbin.

I’m on my way to a commercial audition right now and I’m excited to be vlogging my journey, I love watching other actors “day in the life” or “week in the life” vlogs - it’s super inspiring. Keep up the awesome channel! I’m glad I found you! 👏🏼💫

[@WillyDubz]

MyNameIsKendra thank you 🙏🏼 break legs!

[@Amtran727]

I just subscribed to your channel after watching this video. I am an older actor in Chicago who started later in life , but I love what you said about the slick people falling by the wayside, but the people who were true to themselves stayed. Never give up on your dreams!

[@jasonnasiry]

Very entertaining and informative video my man, keep up the great work and post more acting genre videos like this please, its very fun to watch and get to see your interesting life as an actor!

[@WillyDubz]

Thanks man! I'll keep doing just that! Working on another video right now.

[@KennaBurke]

I found your channel randomly, but you seriously provide so much value and knowledge! Thank you for sharing about your day and life as an actor in California. I'm from Houston and have never ventured over to that side the of the United States and you really captured the industry and life of LA which is very different from Houston, which Oil and Gas run the show. I can't wait to see this channel blow up!

[@WillyDubz]

Thank you so much!

[@tituswolverton9719]

This video is so helpful and touching. Thank you for taking the time, energy, and openness to share it. Keep up the good work!! It is very appreciated and highly studied!

[@jsercia]

Loved this video. I feel like I constantly compare myself to others and have so many fears and anxieties that hold me back from even just going to an audition. Needed to see this one today

[@sleeplessdreamer210]

Thank you for this insight! Please keep posting videos!

[@WillyDubz]

Will do! I take my time, but I’m workin on it!

I have fallen in love with theater and acting. And this video has made me want to do it so much more. Thank you so much

Me too. Are you going to acting class??

Ornella Tamgno Kapche. I am in my schools intermediate acting class and about to go into the advanced class. This summer I am planning on going to the south coast repertory

[@OrnellaTams]

I wish I could do the same. But when your family is expecting you to do pharmacy you just go ahead and do it. Enjoy and be grateful for that!

[@drewparker4038]

Ornella Tamgno Kapche yes. Exactly. Thank you so much.

Jodi Lyn Richardson tbh it is always a little nerve wracking. What I will say is that it gets better over time. I feel like I belong here at this point, but that took time.

[@TheeRogerWayne]

The acting community from the POV of your typical Williamsburgian/ hipster/ millenial ;) with the little dog even, to boot. As a (working) actor myself, I can say that you embody most actors in the NY/ LA area, that are trying to be famous. The key these days is to collaborate and make your own work, try to 'move the needle' in a unique way, or most likely you will be doomed to reading sides and walkin' dogs for eternity.

[@ozie4779]

You have a huge advantage. You are very natural and easy to like. The disadvantage is you're a member of a type who has quite a few actors in it. It is also very hard to pin down. You can play anything. That can actually be a limiting factor. The reason is when the casting people are looking for an actor to fill a role they look for a specific "type". Since you can do so many things it makes you hard to pin down. What is your "unique selling position"? How does it present in your marketing tools? Another advantage is if you can get your USP to match that great personality you'd go very far. One last question; what is your dream role?

[@veronicasmith4504]

Hope you're doing well in your career. I'm so grateful for your vids, they really helped me a lot.

[@happyrobot6396]
