How has everyone's May been?💐 This month I was finishing up high school, so I was busy with finals, AP tests and senior events. I'll be graduating this week!🎓 What's been happening with you?😊

[@AddiRockART]

Congrats 🎉

[@tuscanyfairer9547]

I had my last day of school yesterday. As I live in the UK 🇬🇧 my a level exams start on Thursday...watching your videos light up my day :)

Hi makayla, how can I get hold of you/ur manager??

[@hannahlawrence1351]

Aah thank you so much Makayla for choosing my monologue! Your feedback was so helpful--I definitely agree that my "moment before" was missing, it would have pulled in the audience/casting director much faster (which is super important for self-tapes). I really appreciate this, I always looks forward to your videos!

[@emilymeyers6069]

You were great!

[@navy_dude1343]

you did a great job

[@Rosarioeileen07]

Same

[@Rosarioeileen07]

Very bery great job

[@djsunset_jb]

"this isn't about you this is about what i did" I loved that part personally. it pulled my attention and had realistic emotion in it:) also the prediction of walking away didn't work so I think that made the performance less predictable!

[@vik5000]

It has been my dream to become an actor since I was 5. Nobody ever believed in me and they said it not a "real" job. you encouraged me to keep trying my best, and thanks to you I got my first audition! Thank you so much.

[@kenziegipson3715]

I believe in you. You prove all of those nay sayers wrong

[@Gabriela-bs5yi]

I also have the same dream, only that 15 years ago I discovered my passion for acting. I wish you success, I trust that you will succeed!

[@malviestan5376]

You are literally my comfort KZbinr not only am I learning in how to evolve my career but this truly feels like I’m talking with my best friend

[@MakaylaLysiak]

Omg, this warms my heart. You have no idea🥹💖

[@robinyowife]

I've been really shy to act or do something on stage due to the fear of messing up, but ever since I've been watching your videos I think I might actually give it a try

[@andiflores4638]

Same here, I’m glad that I always find people to relate to when it comes to acting, so that ik I’m not alone. :)

[@ENFPSIS]

@@andiflores4638 Same! For me it's hard to do it on stage but when I do it alone I do a lot better

[@lisaolsen001]

@@ENFPSIS a tip is maybe if its not on stage but like a thing you gotta audition for, maybe send a video ? it'll be just you In your room but still get the audition done

[@iloveladybugs123]

you only live once!! do it!!!

[@darbyclaire]

So did you.

[@jodi_basterman]

My thoughts on Hannah's submission: She did an amazing job especially with body language but I feel like she was lacking facial expressions. Apart from this she did amazingly 👏🏼.

[@swisscheese8438]

Agreed! Mostly in the eyes, and eyebrows

[@gabesalgado789]

Tip #3 is pure genius, and it's something to keep in mind that is so often ignored in filmmaking. I love "The Social Network," but I've always had a problem with the opening scene but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Watching your breakdown, I realized the problem. The two characters are just spitting out lines with no internal monologue, no time to breath or digest what the other has just said and contemplate their reaction. That's why the scene comes off as so inauthentic.

[@saratincu]

I had my first self tape because of youuu!! You have taught me that although I might be starting a bit late in the industry I can still become the actor I’ve always wanted to be! 🥰🥰🥰✨✨

[@MakaylaLysiak]

Yay! Congratulations, so happy for you! It’s never too late, good luck!💖

[@traveler7353]

I did my first self tape audition a comple months ago. I didn't get the part, but I'm happy I took myself out of that fear zone and did it.

Hello Miss Makayla. I successfully passed my preliminary audition on Zoom and I'm really motivated. I'm 44 but I feel like I have no limits and I want to further enhance my life not just get by. Well done pretty lady. Great video on acting and presence.

How did you get an audition? And where?

[@Ha1leyCanada]

Yes I would like to know how to get an audition

[@intellect3175]

Did you get it?

[@liljeep-]

How did it go

[@lola.gs1]

in my tv/film acting class, my coach told us to find an animal with the energy of the character. It actually helps!!

[@itscandde]

hannah's submission was amazing, I love the fact that she chose a fiona scene, but i would have liked to see a little more anger, sadness and emotion but she still did it very well!!

[@poeticdesigners2713]

Dats what I was thinking

[@yagirlskyunmotivatedroadto1834]

I feel that would've been too cinematic thoo

[@sleepystudios9597]

I think a great way to explain internal monologue with dramatic scenes is that certain things should make you react from the inside more that others. You shouldn’t have the same level of emotion talking ab how ur dog died than what u said leading up to it. Everything is like a ocean the wave needs to go up before it can go down

[@daytonmungai8907]

I got into drama school almost a year ago, we have been doing screen acting for a couple weeks ( probably about 12) and this was something we learned and I agree with this, it totally works. Always improving the art

[@thatonecrazyactress8999]

You are so amazing Makayla! You have helped me so much this past year! I’ve for real been watching you forever so thank you sir everything! 💕

[@louise7303]

Just wanna say that you inspire me makayla and thanks to you I've managed to get into great acting places

[@MakaylaLysiak]

Yay! So happy for you, continue being amazing!💖

[@jadeayon5780]

Where did you get into?

[@rebeccabunting2163]

And reactions are the most important part!! Anyone can act when they are talking, that’s easy, but if you act when you don’t talk, then you know you’re getting good!

[@SpaceRexit]

Okay, this is my very first time hearing a person's monologue because I have somewhat a great desire for acting. I just hope through this I will learn acting through this great acting. Thank you so much for taking your time.

[@kylehina8272]

You are the best. I have had a dream of being an actor for years now. I thought I was amazing and couldn’t get better. You proved me wrong. You have made me even better and your amazing for that. I didn’t think I would get a job as a ten year old and you gave me hope again. Keep helping people. Thank you is the least I can say.

[@ClareGreenan]

I love watching you analyze the monologue. So helpful! Thank you!

[@jonahtieman4454]

The before thought inward dialogue tip is really helpful, Loved the video!

[@dontask9000]

The internal monologue bit was really great advice! I’ve been really getting interested in becoming an actress but wasn’t sure what I can do to be more realistic. Usually when I try my mind goes blank while I’m saying the lines so it makes it harder to have more feel and emotion in what I’m saying and I’ll just sound flat. But the internal monologue can help it feel more realistic.

[@lucyv1993]

This is perfect!! I have an agency showcase today and I’m soo excited!! Thank you 😊

[@coramitchell4170]

Hannah Lawrence's monologue was incredible! Real potential there!

How do you approach that and do you sometimes submit a take opposite of the directions just to add something different. 😃

I feel an important thing to incorporate into someone's acting is the emotion. Showing emotion that connects with your words, and connects with the moment really pulls in the viewers and their empathy will connect them to the emotions as well. Idk what I'm talking about xD just a thought. The only acting I've done was a small musical at my church with my gramma
