WHY DO I CALL MY FANS GREG?
Greg is the strongest family on the internet, we're the fastest growing channel on KZbin, and we make fire content. So, instead of making up some pun using my name and calling my fans that, I decided to use a different name entirely. A name so strong, haters tremble when it is spoken. WE ARE GREG. AND WE ARE TAKING OVER THE INTERNET. And all you have to do to join is hit subscribe and turn on notifications.

He really just blacklisted himself from ever getting any serious acting jobs. Juilliard has like a 7% acceptance rate and his fans were really expecting someone with ZERO experience to get in.

[@justine6755]

And he picked one of the MOST overused Shakespeare monologues?! Bud you were the 100th Puck "I jest to Oberon" monologue they heard that day and you did a bad fake accent during it...OFC you didn't get in!

[@localcryptid740]

As someone who works in the arts: none of us like working with people who act and feel entitled. We've had to completely cut ties with artists because of how whiny and straight up disrespectful they were when told things they didn't like hearing. The arts community is VERY close knit among professionals, too, so once people find out you're an asshole with a massive ego who's impossible to work with, nobody will want to hire you, no matter how talented you are. So I hope this kid is having a great time digging his own grave!

[@universalpower419]

To be fair his fans blacklisted him.

[@isitleeyourelookingfor6352]

Did he? I feel like it was more like his fans ruining his career, which does make me feel a bit bad for him. From what I understand, all he did was share something about his life, and then he told people to stop and they didn't...Idk, I'm not a fan of his and I guess I don't know all the details but it kinda seems like it's lowkey not his fault-

[@catherineschroeder1295]

no i truly think it was his fans that blacklisted him. i really don’t understand why people thought that it was appropriate to threaten and flood the schools page like i’d be so embarrassed. i was embarrassed for him. at the end of the day, literally these ppl don’t know him and they most likely ruined shit for him.

To be fair I have yet to see a young TikTok influencer actually make a good response to stuff like this or apologize in a normal way. Kids really shouldnt be allowed to manage a public profile of any kind that have a million+ followers. They definitely need a PR manager at that point. EDIT: a lot of people are interpretating this like I'm saying that because he's young he shouldn't be responsible. That's not what I mean at all. He's 22, but he's still not mature enough to know what to censor online. It's not like you learn how to handle a following of millions of people ever. People will be stupid online no matter what, he is responsible for addressing it but the actions of his followers shouldn't always been seen as an extension of his actions. (I meant kids on TikTok in general as well, 12 yr olds shouldn't be allowed to have huge followings IMO)

Unironically, pretending to have an accent and then doing the audition without one (aka your normal voice) is low key a genius idea.

Also he could still maybe finance some acting lessons, or get to know people in the industry…etc. I’ll give an analogy, imagine you’re an aspiring rapper and you producer your own music. You’re rapping career doesn’t take off but a major music label hires you as a producer because you’re 10x better at producing than you are at rapping. At the end of the day although you didn’t become a rapper you still technically fulfilled your dreams cause producers get PAID and also in this modern day era producers also get recognition.

Correct but not. A lot of actors do modeling on the side, in fact many Modern Superhero and Soap opera actors are models. Modeling can really help portray things and is a good practice for acting.

As someone who also didn’t get accepted to Juilliard it’s kinda crazy to see this Axel situation. Juilliard has an insanely small acceptance rate and most people know that when applying. There are many reasons to criticize Juilliard, like them raising tuition costs during COVID and banning students from campus when they protested against tuition increases, but I don’t get why people are upset with Juilliard because they didn’t accept Axel? Apparently he barely has any acting experience and he only spent a month learning his audition pieces.

I've been doing acting as a hobby for the last decade, and I can absolutely promise you that the people judging your audition will not give you any kind of reaction no matter what they think of your performance, because they have to be objective during the process and can't show favouritism. I have been rejected in so many auditions and also had a director admit to my face that I was a top choice for a certain role, and each time I had no prior inkling about the outcome because the people doing your audition will never show it on their faces, so I don't know why this kid is whining about not getting a reaction and his fans literally starting a fight with a school. Even if his audition had gone well and his performance was the best out of everyone there, he still would not have gotten a reaction. That just goes to show that maybe he's not as good at/qualified for acting as him and his fans think??

The thing about Juilliard is that they provide classical training to their students, hence the Shakespeare audition. Had Axel applied to a school with a more modern/experimental approach to acting, he might have gotten in, though I'm not sure if his basic acting skills are stellar (as I haven't seen clips of his basic acting skills). Coming from an actor who has witnessed this time and time again, some performers simply aren't suited for Shakespeare. I've seen plenty of talented actors absolutely botch Shakespeare, and I know exactly where Axel went wrong. First, when acting Shakespeare, you must take time to process the text and understand the meaning, especially if the text is new to you or you aren't comfortable with early modern English. Upon his initial reading of the excerpt from Hamlet, you can hear exactly what people do if they aren't comfortable with Shakespeare; they read the rhythm and the rhyme as opposed to the words and the meaning. Second, Axel did not need to do an accent at all. People tend to think that one must perform Shakespeare in a British accent to "remain true to the source," but the issue is that the original British accent that Hamlet was performed in at The Globe is a far cry from a modern British accent. When a seasoned Shakespeare performer or director hears someone put on a modern British accent, it immediately shows that the performer is an amateur. Additionally, I simply don't think that Axel is suited for a theatre career. His sole goal is to become rich and famous as an actor, but this is often not the reality for someone who goes to school for theatre. You don't go to school for theatre because you want to be rich and famous; you do it because you love the craft. When you truly love the craft, you would be happy becoming a high school theatre teacher or a regional actor, even if you had wanted fame. It's certainly not a life for everyone---as it definitely isn't for me, currently a STEM major---and it definitely doesn't seem to be a life for Axel. If he wanted a career in theatre for the love of the craft, he would not have put all of his eggs in one prestigious basket. He would have applied to multiple schools. Instead, I think he just woke up one day and decided he wanted to be a movie star. Maybe he can make it into Addison Rae's next Netflix Original.

i have a friend of a friend that got into Juilliard but couldn’t go due to cost. they’re insanely talented, like the first thing anyone says when talking about them is how talented they are. they’re fairly famous on tiktok though so that’s cool

I also know a girl who went to Julliard and she actually cured cancer through singing and dancing

Julliard letters are like the owls from harry potter except instead of bombarding you with acceptance letters, its just a bunch of letters telling you how bad you are

As someone who started acting at the age of 5, and now 18, I am still too scared to audition for a school like juilliard since i know they have really high standards; I wanted a few more years to refine my acting. But seeing Axel, someone who supposedly doesnt have any prior acting experience so i heard, audition for juilliard... just leaves a bitter taste on my tongue. Its like he sees it as a joke or something.

[@ghofranelahib7353]

just scrolling thru comments but wanted to say pls audition omg you could definitely be selling yourself short & it'd be lifechanging if u got in + u have the experience

[@adeline.is.sleepy]

as someone who has experienced very high-stakes auditions (and been rejected, love you Berklee xoxo), can confirm that they are fairly deadpan throughout the whole thing. if you are at a prestigious audition and you can finish all of the audition materials you've prepared without being told to stop, that's a gift. they have to sit through dozens of auditions, often for several days in a row. they don't give a fuck about you, and I don't really blame them.

I feel that. It’s like they stare into your soul, and then you get totally in your head about every little thing they say and do😅

A huge problem with him is that he’s “acting” the part of a struggling person in New York with a tiny apartment when his parents are extremely well-off and he easily had the choice of living in a nicer apartment or at least furnishing his place with nicer furniture. He’s playing the struggle character pretty well… but not well enough to get into Juilliard lol

@@diacarat there are many julliard parents who spent a ton of money on instruments, lessons, tutors etc for their kids to learn the skills they need to get in. That still involves some work on the student/childs part. That is normal and considered the standard for those who do get in. What is privilege is him getting rewarded for nothing. Working for a spot and doing nothing to get one is not the same thing. you can argue that paying for classes and such is a form of privilege but i'd say thats still better than nepotism babies.

[@getmeto50ksubsorelse46]

How is race a factor here, TikTok always simps and rages whenever some moderately attractive person doesn’t get what they want or faces consequences for their actions. Wasn’t it this year that a guy was being defended with “it was an accident” from TikTok stans after he killed a mother and daughter while driving

Yes pull the race card. Everything is all white people's fault right? Because a person who grew up in Communist Ukraine is to blame for the failure of a government. This ideology of yours is just a way to divide an conquer and because you clearly don't see that then you have ALOT to learn.
