[@leashay3271]

You are the reason I keep going. I live in Tampa and I'm 16 , I've wanted to be an actress ever since I was a kid. I study every day and I know I'll make it !! Thank you Wendy !

Meeting with LA Talent this weekend, so glad I’ve been watching your channel. Hope it goes well!!!

[@wendyalane1]

Congratulations! Hope it went well!

[@richardslabon5039]

Hey Wendy, as someone thinking about chasing my "what if" curiosity about acting, i think of all the "that guy" characters i watched growing up. Some of which arent around anymore, and some just now getting their respect. Even the public says "damn this guy must really love what he does". Like life, ya get what you put in. Thanks for your inspiration, and for telling it like it is.

[@matthudson8599]

Wendy, this was a very sobering message for me! Thanks for the wake-up call! No, really! Thanks! (No, I'm not the guy she's talking about! But I (used to, effective immediately) have a similar inclination, for sure!)

[@princessm3738]

Wow I can't believe he actually did that to a talent manager!

[@JoanBlairStudio]

Ahh! When you said you received an email, I knew what it was going to say! Thanks for sharing, Wendy. I’ve been acting, in Hollywood, also for 20+ yrs. & I teach classes & coach. I’ve had clients lately who, don’t listen & it makes me sad. I thought I’d always maintain the will & positive attitude to stay strong, no matter what. But, it’s hard, sometimes. You have to let them go by. So, know that when you share your heart, you help your compadres keep their heads up! Xo

[@wendyalane1]

Stay encouraged! You can't help everyone, some won't make it because they refuse to listen! That has nothing to do with you! Keep doing what you love! YOU are amazing!

Girl, SAME. It's large & in charge, and the color is beautiful!

[@LifeOfCherryJane]

Some people have no clue and they don't want to learn. So sad. Oh well..more room for the rest of us!

[@KarenSanchez-nerakso]

That guy!!! If somebody that is in the business is telling you the way things work, just trust hem, do not argue and be grateful for the advice. Love your videos. Where and when do these showcases take place?

[@jennifer86010]

9:00 Wendy is right about not having a career if you start out being "difficult'. However.....we know of MANY big box office, big money-making stars who, after developing a very successful career, have become totally mean and abusive tyrants or in some cases total control freaks over people and projects. But this happens in every profession.

[@carolinasp10]

I Loooove watching your videos! I think you have the greatest advices for actors. You are wise and super experienced, clearly! Hopefully one day I will have the pleasure of meeting you! Thank you for taking your time and knowledge to guide us on our path!

[@KyleClarington]

this was great advice! I used to put principal under film a short while ago smh. I love how blunt and straightforward you were on this vid!

[@Itsanthonytalking]

Wendy you’re an amazing woman and so smart. The raw lessons you give are invaluable! I hope I have a manager as great as you someday I have ZERO experience but I’m enrolling in a class for acting as we speak! 💪🏻😁😁

[@dnscamp]

Haha, "and then an idiot appeared..." Love all of your videos, especially this one! Have been working through them 4 or 5 a night so I can fully digest the information and learn. So LOVE your style, and the timing on that line was impeccable ;) Keep up the videos. You're making the world a better place, one idiot at a time. Love, Tina, American actress in Beijing, China

[@wvan1174]

This goes for any field honestly. You don’t argue with someone that could help you get somewhere in your career

[@mastermadii]

I giggled this entire video, people need to learn to listen! you have taught me som much just from the few videos I've watched starting my career.

[@DanielSelk]

YES! I'm so glad you have this video cause too many actors don't get this =)

[@kmr7077]

Hey Wendy I just had my first audition tonight. It was fun I really enjoyed it I also got a callback that's tomorrow! Who would've thought I've never done acting or modeling but seems like it would be a great opportunity.

[@marianapena654]

Omg, how did it went? Did you get booked? I hope so

[@mercedezlasiter3675]

Well that, guy won't last long. That's embarrassing, completely disrespectful nobody wants to work with that type. He could of had it made.

[@hollyjay3628]

I love your pep talks. They’re so harsh, but necessary lol so fitting for the business because it’s cutthroat and people like me need this reminder to ‘suck it up buttercup!’

[@wendyalane1]

Glad you enjoy them!

[@sarahyork8520]

I am so excited to meet you in person!!! You're motivation and passion are keeping my hopes high. Thank you woman for sharing your expertise. :)

[@banzaisbanza]

You're videos may save me from myself. "Shut up and Smile." In order to understand things I question alot and I never want it to come across as pushback and I can see how it can be perceived as such. Watching your videos and reading your books alone have transformed my resume, reel, social media setup and development of my own content. You don't know me personally but I have a presence. I'm determined, hardworking and have a great support team of artists who are the same. So, Don't be surprised when you see your name in the Thank you credits in a Heartland film Festival movie. I play your youtube vidoes in the car on the way to work and just listen and connect some of the dots in the business that I don't know about. Grateful.

[@ashleyvetere8512]

So glad for this verification about the credits. I will be changing all my principals to supporting or lead. My other actor friend and I were just having this conversation about how we were confused about this.

[@wendyalane1]

[@ashleyvetere8512]

Thanks Wendy. I'm on your page Talent Management for actors. Just parted ways with my team out here in Los Angeles. Re-branded my look and trying to strengthen my package to market myself better. I will be contacting you for a consult soon, there are a couple of things i'm feeling overwhelmed about on the business side. Loving your videos. Thank you for your positive energy and expertise.

[@wendyalane1]

I'm here when you're ready!

[@daeyonaowens3803]

Hey I am a big fan of your videos I’m from Jackson, Ms. which is like a super small town where not a lot of people get anywhere but you inspired me I have always wanted to be an actress and because of you I have decided to go back to school and take theatre to get my background. You have literally given me the tools to start my career. Thank you

[@PhilHongNguyenMD]

I love watching your videos! They are so interesting, educational, and funny!

[@neilmackinnon3293]

Great post, thanks for sharing Wendy.

[@demshoulders3769]

Thank you! I’ve watched a few of your videos and I’ve found them very helpful. You are very down to earth, and your advice is great!

[@Danymity1]

LoL....oh I love it Wendy. I'm not an actor or inspire to be one, but the stories you share are so relatable regarding the way people conduct themselves. LMFAO... someday that kid will get it that is if he's willing to endure the process!

[@jerrywandzilak9564]

I always shut up and listen,I want to learn from the best, wendy thank you for all of your amazing videos I've learned a lot and I'm still learning

[@wendyalane1]

You're so very welcome!

[@SamWirde]

Dear god some people are idiots! You don't argue with anyone be they a manager, agent or something else, you be professional and try to learn and if you don't know a certain thing be polite and ask dear god why don't people get that!?

[@dodapictures2141]

Why does it make you so mad? You can only control what you do dude, not others. Don’t give them control over your emotions. You’re welcome 😁

[@austynsanft-eugenio5443]

Thank for you videos so much. I'm from Hawaii and it's hard to think to pick up everything and move to L.A but your videos make me feel equipped and more ready than before... Much Mahalos 😊😋

[@veronica9232]

I like how you put it out there, thanks for all your knowledge, my son Just graduated from AMDA in NY, hopefully he gets some of what you are saying cause I am blasting it lol. I really don’t know much about the business but it’s all the advice I would give to him, he is talented but there are many talented actors out there. Thank you thank you!

[@maryelias1865]

But this should be common sense lol

[@goldengirl5165]

[@oliviadepaux8839]

Oh My gosh!! I Love you! You are so funny and so spot on!!!!

[@vegetalover1009]

We say principle in theater lol but dude should have let it go and I’m sure it’s different

[@HalleGrace]

You are AMAZING! I love that are straight forward and aren’t afraid to be honest about what you’re thinking. I can’t tell you how many times I have a question about acting and I go UH Wendy would know what to do!!! I love watching you :) hope to meet you one day!

[@sergiomartone457]

Really enjoying your videos. Good to have such expressive advice!😜

[@deejaycandykenya1537]

[@JesusLovezu333]

Thank you so much. I love your videos. They're so helpful you have no idea.

[@mariliebunce7046]

Agreed! Shut up and listen. Can’t stand people who think they know it more than the people who really know it. Blows my mind every time. Your vlogs are fantastic!

[@jessicavega7435]

Love it. Great advice. I’m really enjoying your videos. So glad I found you on KZbin. I have a couple of questions, my son is starting out and has an agent. He is taking acting classes. I am wanting to self submit on Actors Access and Casting Frontier, and after watching your videos, Backstage too. My question is when does he need a manager and where can I find theatre play acting opportunities for him since they do not offer this at his school? How does he find a manager? Thank you!

[@joelee5875]

Excellent, great advise, and for some reason reminds me somehow of the movie Barton Fink.

[@genesisjvv7025]

Love your videos...can you make a video about casting websites and the pros and cons of casting websites..again love your videos.

[@Jtv612]

7:31 ahaha I love it Wendy!

[@vegetalover1009]

I thought the second paragraph would be him explaining why it’s principal 😂

[@harrymurray9702]

Wise words, duly noted.

[@BellaWhoLocked]

Watching all your videos now, and finding them extremely helpful and full of so much information that is really making things clearer for me, so thank you though some are older videos and you might not read this, really thank you. Makes me very much inclined in accomplishing things by learning more about the business and by listening to your advices I feel as if this path isn't completely impossible. :)

[@wendyalane1]

Bella Mc-Caty I read all the comments. I'm glad the video are helpful to you. As long as you feel motivated to get up, trust in yourself and follow your dreams then my work is being done. Life is short, your life is important. You have the right to experience your future accomplishments. You must believe in yourself and take bold action.

[@cpt.honklerof3rdkekistania400]

Ive grown up in a family business of construction and lemme tell ya theres so many people who watch 1 or 2 home renovation shows and think they can install a full kitchen with 4 piece crown molding and tile backsplash. What it taught me is, if im gonna be an actor as long i think the person has my best interest at heart im gonna take the advice and move on.

[@StrawburryNoodlez]

Oh wow! I'm shocked that he actually argued with you like that and EMAILED you that way!

[@ActressEdie]

I am loving your vids! :) Quick Question: from a theater/on-stage perspective, is it LEAD or PRINCIPAL?

[@DBLK504]

You’ve humbled me and thank you.

[@teirahgreen4750]

Hi Can l ask in America do agents charge their talent to be on their books ? Just wonder as in Australia its free until you get work and then the agent will take 10% of what you make whenever you get a job. However we have to pay for our own casting network etc. Thank u

[@jordanneff2088]

THANK you so much Wendy Alane Wright. I am so glad that I have found that extra help and advise before I go to IMTA this coming year. I would never stop reaching for the stars and my dreams.

[@wendyalane1]

+Jordan Neff YOU NEED TO READ THIS IF YOU PLAN ON DOING IMTA secretsofatalentmanager.blogspot.com/2015/01/what-happens-if-la-agent-or-manager.html

[@jordanneff2088]

I definitely plan too because I want to see for myself how well I handle pressure like this compared to the pressure of a play in my local studios. I just have that amazing feeling of being on a stage. Also I know that I am meant to be on a stage somewhere at sometime during my young life. Again thank you so much for all of the videos that you have made to help us get ready for the big leagues. This is the best way I can explain it.

[@stefanosuarosofficial3327]

Love you girl I would love to learn a lot of things from you . I’m coming to LA and hope to meet you there

[@jhessyemoore-thomas4082]

Amen! LISTEN scrambled is SILENT. I will learn and absorb.

[@jennifer86010]

2:40 I believe they call an argumentative actor "difficult" in Hollywood. You can argue with anyone if you are a huge box office star. But if you are a nobody and you argue, you will remain a nobody.

[@goldenwaymedia]

Thank you. I love your honesty.

Taken to heart.....great video.

[@TheLocumentary]

Can you make a video giving advice on auditioning at an open casting call with minimal experience? Such as the NWA: Straight Outta Compton open casting? It would be much appreciated!

[@wendyalane1]

If you have minimal experience and still want to audition. make sure you prepare a piece that you PRACTICE so many times you know it backwards and forwards, Inside and out. It should be TIGHT. Then just go do it and have fun!

[@samalifilm]

Question? Im producing my film , dose that help in my career ? And if its is plz explain how ? Love u ❤️

could you make a video giving advice for people that don't live in America, where to start, accent tips, etc. please

Thank you for a great video Miss Wendy, I believe your teachings would go well with Society in general, many should learn to just shut up and listen, but...we don't, thus come the consequences, hopefully one learns...

[@Briana-hd9mk]

@wendyalanewright WOW!! I find your personality awesome! Tell it like it is. Great video! Thank you so much for sharing. Upcoming aspiring Actors like me, value the sponge of knowledge and want to do well, so why would you challenge the ones that hold the keys. I sincerely value these inside tips AND actually have a video interview tomorrow that I got just out of nowhere few hrs ago and no time for prep. Its been awhile but Instead of be an "idiot" and be unprepared I decided to be proactive and do some prep KZbin to give my best A game I can tomorrow with the time presented to me. Thank you for this, I will apply your notes as well and I didn't know that fact about film roles so thank you! Man what an opportunity that guy had and blew it. Id a traded with him in a second. You have a new Subscriber. :) If I ever make it to LA I hope to land in your office. Thanks for the info!

[@aprilkaraffa2433]

Disresectful to say the least. Listen rather than trying to put your ego together by trying to school the teacher. Not cool. Unfortunately, some actors really need to see this video.

can I give me some quick tips on how to do a great monolouge?

[@SwimForUrLove]

or if anybody can let me know

[@greymatter6551]

Nefertari Nzinga Know your character.who they're talking to during the monologue? What's their relationship with that person? How does that impact the monologue? What past experiences has the character had that they bring up to life through this monologue? You can even take each sentence of the monologue and give it a meaning.Create a person who you become during the monologue.Talk from their perspective (like it's your own) without any added dramatic movement if the character doesn't require it.Just like a normal person would hold a personal speech.

[@hannahmariewilliamsmusic7990]

My dog is probably tired of hearing my arguments. Sorry Penny!!!

[@mackolmx6385]

If that’s his goal.. then that’s his goal. Can’t blame the man for having high expectations for himself. It may have been that you took it personal. “He’s an idiot, he’s a moron” .. even if he rubbed you the wrong way, you don’t have to label him as such. But then again I guess being a well connected manager gives you “okay” to talk about him like this. Now I’m not agreeing with the man’s actions but I am disagreeing with how the “manager” goes to KZbin and call the person names. I mean was it possible to state the do’s and don’t without calling him names.

[@jtiso2395]

This goes for any industry
