[@nightingalesingon]

Great advice -- as always! ❤ One comment in favour of studying monologues: The advantage of working on a monologue is learning to use your acting skills without any help from your scene partner(s). You only have yourself to rely on. This can be scary. A monologue is a scene too, but you have to draw all creative power from within yourself. My acting coach even made me imagine concrete reactions or replies of my monologue "scene partners" to the finest detail throughout the whole monologue. We were working on this for days and it often felt like torture, as she frequently changed the prerequisites of the scene, giving different directing cues. This requires a lot of concentration and discipline -- and technical weaknesses show immediately and without mercy, while you can sometimes get away with it in a dialogue scene with a good scene partner. My teachers used to say if you fail to be interesting, entertaining and convincing on your own, you won't be a strong actor in a scene either. I agree that acting scenes is equally important, especially for camera acting. And I have also seen theatre actors struggle a litte with camera acting too, because different skills are required.

Undocumented without papers are outta luck. Best option if you really find it to be your calling is to take as many acting classes you can afford to take , learn , absorb , practice and then go back to one's country and try there.

[@balanvictor3760]

I hope you will see my question Kurt: if the director wants you to do something and you just cannot adapt, what happens ? Also, I really appreciate what you are doing for all the actors out there.

[@ActingCareerCenter]

Can you give me a more specific scenario? I'm not sure what you are referring to.

[@balanvictor3760]

@@ActingCareerCenter Like, when the director wants you to say a line differently, or act in a different way and you just cannot get it right.

[@ActingCareerCenter]

@@balanvictor3760 If this happens on set, the director will have to decide how much time they are willing to spend on the scene because any extra time will take away from time budgeted for other scenes. Depending on how important the scene is, they may continue to work with the actor to get it right or they might just decide "close enough" and move on.

[@BalanceLife43]

I've been thinking about starting a KZbin channel. But one thing I'm afraid of is people not taking me serious as an actor because of it. What are your thoughts on this?

[@ActingCareerCenter]

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

[@victorgibson8587]

Hey Kurt, New subscriber here. Forgive me if this question is answered in the video. You referenced in another video, how acting classes are enhanced by surrounding yourself with others. To put it bluntly. My question is, doing you think that doing acting classes via zoom are still as effective. I’m interested in a school here in Atlanta. (Drama inc.) but I don’t want to sacrifice the experience. If that makes sense. Any input would be great. Thanks!

It affects how they are seen to the extent of what roles they can play. There are characters of all shapes and sizes and casting directors will be looking for actors of all shapes and sizes to fill those roles.

[@oussama1811]

Hey Kurt may I ask you are acting classes a full time occupation which you need to free up for and make your main job or can you take acting classes next to a main job or college and how many hours a week acting classes take ?

[@ActingCareerCenter]

Most people are usually working a side job in order to have a source of income while pursuing their acting career. Acting classes can be full time if you want it to be. But they can also be flexible. You could sign up for just one class per week if you wanted to.

[@RannyMari]

I missed this by a couple of days but I was wondering if any of you could tell me if a professionally done school picture would count as a head shot?

[@ActingCareerCenter]

If you are brand new, sure, you can use whatever professional photo that you have. But as you move forward in your career, you will learn that a headshot is not just a picture of you but rather a marketing tool. Most actors have multiple headshots to help convey the different types of roles that they can play. For example, take a look at the heashots for my friend Jessica. The show the various types of characters that she can play: resumes.actorsaccess.com/jessicalcraig

[@tinahobinger7854]

heyy short but serious question.... what if they demand a demo reel but you can't offer one bc it's you "first time" after some practise in classes? I'm just asking cause we don't have such things as student films where i live... Second thing ... I am currently living in Austria, but when i head to Atlanta and wanna book a job, can i hand in a demo-reel in german? Cause let's say i had some experiences back there in Austria and can show them a demo reel but in a foreign language.... should i subtitle it? How should I handle such a situation?

[@ActingCareerCenter]

You can record yourself performing a scene as your demo reel. You can use your phone to record yourself. If you want to act in English-speaking projects, you would need a demo reel speaking English.

It's a video course, not really a class. That doesn't mean it can't be helpful. You might very well learn a lot from that video course. However, a true class is interactive. Where you perform for the teacher and they are able to critique you to help you get better.

[@PatriStarlight]

Since this is kurt channel, i can only recommend you to take it with him just to respect him and because he is very good! ♥️ i can send you other options : [e-mail] btw private acting classes are so much better. Specially when you can find an " audition class" meaning if you have to rehearse a script for an audition you can hire someone for that. But if you have never taking acting classes before is better to find someone that can focus on your goals for acting and start from scratch everything. To find the right coach is so important! I suggest you do a casting yourself and book with several people to see who you can work best with and also who match your budget.

[@PatriStarlight]

But if what you are looking is a college that can accept you and you move to the states with a student visa.. then thats different. But even if you do, you would still need a private acting coach♥️ is just so much easier and you save so much money because the classes are focus on your need.

[@ActingCareerCenter]

It certainly isn't easy. But for most people, they don't mind the hard work because they have a passion for it. It's like becoming a professional basketball player. Is it hard to get into the NBA or WNBA? Sure it is. But the people who succeed are the ones who are willing to work as hard as they need to in order to achieve their dreams.
