[@liquidbraino]

The best way to build confidence is to do things you're not sure you can do. The best way to get over shyness is to become an actor - just do it. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Soon enough you'll be the one answering peoples questions about how to overcome shyness. I guarantee it. You can't even answer that question unless you've BEEN the shy one who overcame it. Don't make excuses, take a class. The difference between winners and losers is that winners will find a solution to every problem and losers will find a problem with every solution. If you REALLY want something, you'll find a way. If you don't really want it - you'll find an excuse. Kurt just gave you the solution - don't be a loser. Take a class. BTW, Playhouse West in Los Angeles only costs $225 per month. PW is one of the best schools in Los Angeles (started by Jeff Goldblum) If you can't afford THAT - you're just making excuses. A job at McDonalds pays $3,482 per month. Stop making excuses.

[@liquidbraino]

Talent is what you need to succeed in this business - not luck. That's why actors never say "Good luck" to each other - it implies that the only way you're going to succeed is because you got lucky. Instead, we say "break a leg". And that phrase goes back to the days of Vaudeville (early 20th century). You can Google that phrase in order to learn more about it's origins, but in the mean time - break a leg! Hope you get cast!

I also sang live on the radio in Dubai (where I live) because I was invited and participated in different talent competitions, mostly singing. When I was about 10 years old I wrote an entire script with my cousin for a movie we wanted to make. We did, we filmed the movie starring my cousins, other family members, and me. It's a 25-minute movie and it's in Spanish. Do you think any of these things could help me in acting? And also, how could I add these to my resume (if any apply)?

[@ActingCareerCenter]

An actor demo reel is an edited video collection of an actor's best performances (typically between 30 seconds and 3 minutes long). It's similar to an artist's portfolio. If you were a sketch artist, you would have a folder with some examples of your best work to show to people. An actor's demo reel is a collection of an actor's best work to show to people. Talent agents, managers, casting directors, and potential employers view demo reels when searching for new acting talent.

how long should i take acting classes for before auditioning for anything?

[@ActingCareerCenter]

It's going to be different for everyone. Everybody learns at a different pace. Your acting teacher will be able to tell you when you are ready

[@liquidbraino]

I started submitting for acting jobs before I ever took a class and was able to get cast but I don't recommend it. Now when I look back I wish I had taken acting classes first. I know many actors that have been in school for YEARS and still haven't signed up on any casting sites because they're afraid that their talent isn't yet up to par - not quite good enough yet. And I think that's actually the right attitude to have. If you start out doing bad work, you'll probably continue getting cast in bad; low budget productions - because that's what you've already established yourself as. I quit acting for a while just to go to school (after getting cast in my first supporting role in a feature film and seeing with my own eyes how much I suck as an actor - I was horrified). I've been in training now for two years and that's all I want to do until I finish the program. My best friend on the other hand is just so obsessed with fame that he doesn't care about classes or improving himself - he thinks he's going to get "lucky" one day and get "discovered" without ever having to work for it - now all he ever does is music videos. Don't get type cast as the guy that ONLY does music videos because then you'll be stuck doing that for the rest of your life. My best friend gets SO proud every time he's cast in another music video and I keep telling him he needs to back off from doing music videos but he won't listen - he's just happy to get booked but he's not thinking about having longevity in his acting career. He just wants instant gratification - "make me famous... right now" and that's career suicide for an actor. Take your time - do it right.

Good day, I have an audition in a few days and I'm so lost on what to do.

[@liquidbraino]

Keep doing it. You'll make mistakes occasionally like we all do but hopefully you'll learn from those mistakes. Most importantly - take acting classes if you haven't already. In fact if you haven't had ANY classes I recommend that you stop acting immediately and focus on training for at least two years - THEN go back to submitting and auditioning. I made the mistake of auditioning before I'd ever taken classes, now I wish I hadn't. Now I wish I had taken at LEAST two years of classes before I started actually working as an actor. James Franco trained for eight years before he started working and look where he is today (BTW, he trained at the same school I'm currently training at and my teacher was in his class; his teacher was Jeff Goldblum).

[@daniellemaroney2931]

Hello Kurt, I've been wanting to be an actress all of my life. But due to me having little money, no support system, and personal setbacks, I have next to nothing to show for it. I do have some training and a student film to my credit while majoring in Theatre Arts in Jr. College in the past. But the other projects I try to be a part of in the past didn't work out for one reason or another. With that being said I'm in my 40's I want to move to LA to pursue this, but I feel embarrassed, naked, and unprepared. Despite the fact that I'm in the process of going out for auditions locally. Should I go to LA and continue to pursue this or should I quit while I'm behind and over 40?

[@ActingCareerCenter]

I would never tell anyone to quit. I started later than most people (at the age of 26) and I know many people that started after 30, 40, and even 50. Here's a video I did on the topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jouYfp-ChqiEqNU Also, LA is one option as far as a location to pursue acting, but by no means is it the only option. Make sure to research other major acting markets like Atlanta, before making a final decision on where to move.
