As a 15 year old aspiring actress with parents who won’t help me get there(acting classes, head shots, etc) your videos help A LOT. At this point I’ve already had experience with short films for school, plays, and musicals. All I need are headshots and I’ll be ready to start my dream career, thank you :)

1) yes, I would give you a callback. I feel that you were connected with the character and I thought it was good 2) No, I wouldn’t give you a callback. There were too many distractions and we couldn’t really hear you, also I feel that you weren’t all there, you know? 3) Yes, I would give you a callback. You were fully there, connected to the character and the quality was good.

[@MakaylaLysiak]

Thank you for your feedback!💖

[@sehersings2543]

1. I wouldn’t give a callback just because i really didn’t feel the emotion you were trying to portray 2. No, just because you got distracted and it was kinda boring to watch 3. YES, I think that you had a LOT of potential within your acting and you placed your head in the setting as if you were in it ( if that makes sense)

[@leliatarasova7522]

Omg, being on HSMTMTS is such a dream for me. One agent once said that I would be perfect for that show. And I hope that if they will make a 3rd season or something, I could audition for it. Just that would be amazing.

[@Jade-pu1zc]

I wish the video was longer! This was so nice to see and so helpful! Being an actor can be so discouraging, since it's mostly a bunch of no's with the occasional yes. It's so encouraging to see you openly talk about the things you were rejected from, and the reality of the fact that a lot of casting is completely out of your control... Thank you!

[@Ari_Hazel2026]

A tip to other people who have struggles with noises. I would say try to project your voice so yours can possible go over the noise or go to a different quiet place. Projecting means basically speaking louder. Theater kids sometimes do this based on distance of the audience so their voice can still be heard.

[@natella2760]

These are amazing!!! I love #3 especially with the motionssss

[@dylanduff2553]

#1. I know Odd Squad, have a few friends who got their start on it and would definitely give you a callback. The energy and delivery fit perfect with the atmosphere of the show. #2. Knowing the circumstances I would've absolutely given you a callback to see what you could really do free from the extenuating circumstances. Unfortunately, from the casting director's perspective, not knowing what we watching this do, I wouldn't be able to justify a callback for that tape as a standalone piece of work. #3. Yes to the callback. Plain and simple. You did great! Go Makayla! 🤩🎉Perfect audition for Nick. Great job overall! You are super talented! Thank you so much for making these videos for all of us actors who need your help! 😁

I relate to your videos so much!! 🙌🏽 You keep it so real and honest, it’s very rare to see people actually describing accurately what it’s like for us actors! 1. Yes, I think it was exact the right energy needed for young kids show! There might have been a few technical tweaks but you definitely understood the character super well. 2. I think it makes sense why this one was a miss, given the circumstances. ( I feel like for me the more I want a project the worse I do in the audition cause I’m more focused on being the right pick than being the character) 3. Yes, you brought a lot of fun unique choices that added life and humour to the scene! You definitely could be a Nickelodeon series regular 🙌🏽

[@niol5225]

A while back, there was a scam talent agency that had us do self-tape, and I remember being so happy when they texted back and said that they liked what I did, only to realize it was a scam. Ever since I tried reading a script, I’ve been hooked on becoming a real actor, and I’m trying to do as much research as possible! Your channel has helped so much and I just want to thank you 🥰❤️ !! Though I’m afraid I’m too old to begin acting as a 13 year old, and of what could happen if I poured my life fully into acting and ended up financially struggling, so I’m still trying to decide if I really want to be an actor. If you didn’t want to read all that because it’s rlly long and boring and blah blah, then bassically just Tysm for making you videos, they have been EXTREMELY helpful! :D ✨

[@pixxieq9333]

I literally have the same struggle 😭. I'm also 13 and I've always wanted to become an actor but I'm scared I'm too old, scared about what will happen if I get a role, thinking if I'll still have time for school, etc. You are not alone. And I think I'm also scared of embarrassing myself soo yeah.🥸

[@samanthamiller832]

It’s crazy how obvious it is that a lot of acting is luck... you and Olivia Rodrigo were on a show together and now she’s in the series you also auditioned for but she got the role. I don’t mean to sound rude to you Maykayla, in fact my thoughts are quite the opposite: I think that you and Olivia have the same level of talent, but since casting isn’t based off of talent alone, you didn’t get the part. By the way I love your personality!! You always brighten my day 💕 also YOUR HAIRRRRR 😩 I’m so jealous
