The 5 shortcuts to Acting success

[@Feliciawithoutfins]

I just want to add an example of not giving up if an agency says no at first. When I was fresh and green I was turned down by a modeling agency I really wanted, a year and a half of hard work and a fresh new haircut later they were begging for me! Keep with it kids!

[@sungodis22]

Tips: 1) Create a contact book 2) Getting an Agent - get a target list of 10 that’s good 4 you & send a post card monthly to them (separate lists 4 commercial & theatrical agents) 3) Get outstanding headshots (Spend $400-500) 4) Get Training w/people CDs respect 5) Create a Hi-Def Demo Reel w/appropriate roles (not school plays, etc.)

[@rainonyourparade2730]

1) all info,preferred communication 2) send cards until they say i’m not really interested or just come in 3) also voice agent

@@wendyalane1 hi Wendy please help me about acting and tell me about it

[@medievalterrence9691]

I LOVE that you devote most of your videos to the acting BUSINESS. There are dozens of videos on the acting craft, but people need to know the nuts and bolts of how the business works. THANKS!

[@wendyalane1]

You are extremely welcome!

[@KojiCO-ConvinceM]

Wendy you're a godsend, I just finished three books by Stanislavski, I'm starting on your book in the next 30 minutes i've been in touch with the acting coach from New York and starting our first session on Monday, i've already got an audition for the international school of screen acting here in London, and applying for voice-over work from now till 2 April,. Going on a photo shoot on Saturday, and piling up resumes to harass every agent with a confined 👍 thank you for everything you do it's very much appreciated and certainly is an outstanding amount of help

[@user-si9st4pf9g]

Hey . I really want to study acting in london .. can you help me with that ? I know its a lot of money so i want to see if i can get this for free

[@natalie5686]

Koji G hey i was watching this video and I saw your comment, is your acting career still going steady? What is your advice?

[@KojiCO-ConvinceM]

Natalie my advice is, audition, audition, audition, familiarise yourself with the business side of the industry, Bear in mind names and locations of companies and organisations and studios. If you truly want this, wasting time on other endeavours is pointless, find your strengths, play to them. We cannot all be a polymath, not in the beginning, get involved with the acting classes and groups, reach out to other contacts and surround yourself with other actors who are hoping and looking for the same goals as yourself. Encompass yourself within stories scripts movies and practice, practice, practice. Hope this has been a small amount of help, as for me it’s challenging, but still trying LOL 😄 but I’m in the UK, and it’s focused but not as focused as LA or New York different environment here if you’re not from the UK and it’s difficult to give advice in regards to those places that I’ve not attended myself for acting.

[@Mrs3ASS]

Thank you so much Wendy! I am helping my 13 year old start out!

[@idkoof9855]

You just helped me stay in the industry of my dreams. Yes, I'll say dreams because if I'm not doing the 5 things you just mentioned, it will only be a DREAM! Thanks so much, on my way to buy your book. Yvette

[@bellamerlin7397]

Dear Wendy, Another brilliant video. Suddenly Everest seems climbable - and I've just come from 25 successful years in the UK. It's quite a different challenge here in LA - but a challenge that you make seem is possible to face! Huge thanks as ever. You're a gift! Bella

[@anastasiatryingmyluckinact7695]

I don't know what i am capable of :) i have tried to ignore the passion for acting for 28 years :))) that's why now i try to- a. Film some sort of acting scene everyday or every few days, at least a voiceover, and b. Study languages! English and spanish every day at leasttt a few new words to the vocabulary. I want to discover what i am capable of. That's what my channel is for 😆 P.s. and of course! I want to take acting classes! With no doubt!

[@tullyaklein]

Anastasia, I don't know what you've been doing in the past year, but we should push each other to keep having faith that it could happen for us. I wasn't even aware of how much passion I have for acting till I realized it in second year of film school. Before that I somehow always found myself in acting courses. From drama class in school to student short films. I hope that someday I'll be able to see you on an show or film. Keep having faith in yourself!

[@actresskellyann4343]

hi Wendy, I just want to let you know, I may have had told you before but I listen to you all the time.

I am REALLY glad to hear that! Thank you for being here. It means a LOT to me.

[@yuhtanizawa7686]

Man this information is so cool! My very first acting teacher is actually really a let´s say a nobody. And not even that, she is a stage acting teacher who constantly made fun of people who want to make it in the film business! I guess that´s really not a good sign after all. But you are different that´s cool!

[@wendyalane1]

Glad you think so!

This is so helpful, I've done mostly musical theater and I'm getting into film and TV, I bought your book, and watched so many of your videos, I just booked my first student film the other day, I have a ways to go before I even start to look for agents or managers but you're helping get on the right path. I live in NYC, if you have any teachers you recommend for tv, commercial, and film over here please let me know! Thanks again for all of your wonderful videos :)

[@wendyalane1]

Thank you!

[@beautifuldreamer8803]

In 2019 do post cards still work? Do managers read them or just throw them away? I have heard a SAG actress say the post cards do not work.

[@malachicampbell4335]

One SAG actress told you post cards don't work. Doesn't mean they don't work. The best way keeping in contact with that agent is by asking them what's the best way to keep in contact.

[@wendyalane1]

Marketing is cumulative. You send the postcards announcing the jobs you book. Do you also Email them your materials. Do showcases with them. (Online for now) Follow them on social media. It’s cumulative they get exposure to your name and your face and your work from several different sources over time

[@earthlordstable3732]

CD's, agents and Managers need so much ego soothing and boosting (each month!!) it makes actors lose half the time in licking their ass not to mention a lot of their money. Studio system was better it seems compared to it. Whole systems is insecure and emotional based with lot of low esteem people and scavengers. Thank you for the videos, Wendy! Invaluable!

If an actor has a manager, do you still need to send out those postcards to agents?

[@wendyalane1]

Yes.

[@Havenlifee]

hi im in 2019 i watched your newest videos and you said its not like 5 to 7 years ago agents are not that helpful to you u need to start with your own so what should i do now lol

[@ValerieLarsenmedia]

I recently moved from New York but am planning to move to LA, should I be sending postcards to both cities or just where I'm living?

[@wendyalane1]

Good question. If you have made good connections in New York with people who have become a fan of your work, you should always stay in touch and keep them informed/updated about the projects your are booking every 6 months.

[@ValerieLarsenmedia]

So in town list - once a month, out of town list - 6 months. Got it

[@ValerieLarsenmedia]

Is it inappropriate to send these kinds of updates to someone you haven't met yet i.e. - "I'm moving to LA this fall, I'd love to meet with you (if an agent)...etc.?"

[@wendyalane1]

Every actor is moving to LA..forget the emails.. just get here and start doing the work. Then show case for agents so they can really see your work. I want to send you a FREE copy of my e-book and in exchange I would like to hear what you loved or hated about it, what you learned and how it has changed your thinking. If you are interested please send me your email to [e-mail]
