    Don’t worry man. 2023 will be your year! Also don’t be bummed about not booking any commercials, you can still always say you were in a commercial with Shaq.

    Thank you so much for making these videos, Kurt, no matter the results! I have been tracking my auditions since I really started two years ago and it really is a great tool to reflect on the past year and my progress. Thank you for your humbleness and keeping it real!

    @rosarodrv Год назад +7

    I auditioned a lot too and only got 3 booked last year. I don’t feel so bad now if it’s not just me. Maybe more to do with the recession. Thanks for this valuable info and tips

  • @reillyfeatherstone
    @reillyfeatherstone Год назад +2

    I love this! I say this all the time, but 81 auditions with 0 bookings, it can take people years to get their first 81 auditions and so many give up before getting anywhere close, which is a shame. Thanks for being so open about your own career Kurt, It's really inspiring

  • @johnathanmohamed2296

  • @malikamaybe
    @malikamaybe Год назад +9

    Thank you so much for sharing this, Kurt! I've been away from acting for a few years now due to caregiving (still studying as much as I can tho) and your videos legitimately remind me how much I appreciate acting even the very, very natural ups and downs. I remember booking the very first two things I auditioned for right after college (indie film & student film) and was like 'oh yeah, here we go' and then proceeded to not book some dozens that followed lol. And I will be absolutely sure to check out Will Trent!

  • @ChadCollins
    @ChadCollins Год назад +1

    Great stuff, Kurt. As an actor who’s been in the game for 15 years, the numbers don’t always indicate progress or growth in an acting career. The ups n downs be real, but it adds joy to the journey.

  • @MichaelRayVaughn
    @MichaelRayVaughn Год назад +3

    Love this video !! Always motivating and encouraging 💪🏽I wouldn’t have moved to Atlanta from houston to chase my acting dreams if it weren’t for Kurt because I had no idea Atlanta had some many opportunities out here, until I starting watching your channel. Always honest , always humble.. I think I speak for all actors watching your videos when I say “ we appreciate you” 🙏🏾

  • @MauriceWilliams

  • @Gigi-rj6pp
    @Gigi-rj6pp Год назад

    Thanks to your videos and tips, I just booked my first acting job! There’s not much out there without an agent, so I’m really proud of myself for getting something without an agent or headshots yet, but I can’t wait to tell my acting coach!

  • @gwen3779
    @gwen3779 Год назад

    Thank you for sharing your personal numbers to help us get a look at the reality of acting. Helps to better gauge what to expect realistically and not become as discouraged. Thanks for keeping it real!

  • @adaratoop
    @adaratoop Год назад

    Love this! It's so true - professional acting is a rollercoaster. Even month to month. But keeping at it and making sure you're staying strong in all the off-set aspects (networking, taking classes, updating headshots) will make you even more prepared for your next booking. Happy that the bookings you had were good ones!!

  • @RicardoFilmsTM

    Mr Kurt, I'm so glad that you're back on RUclips with all your very informative videos about acting. You're very helpful and I have incorporated quite a few of your practice tools into my everyday life and acting. I'm here in Michigan and have been to Atlanta for several projects and can't wait to possible work with you on a project one day soon. Please keep teaching us who want to learn more.

    I admire your bravery Kurt and am glad you didn't sugarcoat this. Up and down cycles are what we can expect; whether it be acting or in life, the key is to stay positive and carry on. BTW I'd like to add a topic I'd like to see- how to form an Acting Plan. As you know without a roadmap it's easy to get lost. With one, we empower and propel ourselves forward and onward.

    Ha! I had an audition for Will Trent. The role was outside of my wheelhouse but I was pretty proud of how it came out. Suffice to say I didn't get the part. But hopefully I made the casting director a fan. Anyway thanks for all the videos Kurt! I've been a fan for quite some time. And I've gotten something from every one of your videos over the last few years. The changes you've helped me make I feel have definitely led directly to some of my bookings. Thanks again man! You're a Rockstar!

  • @RyceTV
    @RyceTV Год назад +1

    I watched Will Trent and I felt like screaming at the screen, "That's him. That's Kurt Yue. My first acting coach." Though, I've never met you in person and I haven't joined your virtual class, I still consider you as my first acting coach. You taught me how to break into this industry. You taught me how to find a local acting coach, which lead me to get my 2 agents, which lead me to be lead in 3 commercials. This April will mark my 1st year anniversary of being an actor. It's still the greatest job in the world, though I can't tell you how many auditions I've been on. I think I lost count in August. But, I'm learning. Learning to be patient with myself is the hardest part. However, the only way that I can get over that is by acting, so this weekend I auditioned for 3 student films. 2 of which I think I'm a shoe in for. I also, binge watched Will Trent this weekend. I absolutely love seeing you in a reoccurring role. Keep on inspiring us.

  • @ofautumnfrenchbulldogs6767
    @ofautumnfrenchbulldogs6767 Год назад

    Thank you for being so honest and transparent. I think this video is appreciated by many in the industry, it shows that others are going through the same 'dry spells' as you and it really isn't a reflection on anyone's acting. Awesome positivity spread and may 2023 be full of great opportunities for us all!

    Love your videos, especially your honesty and not mincing words! You are rare... Would you please do a video on How an actor can create his/her own opportunities, as opposed to just waiting for their agents to ring them up? I 'worry' about crossing the line and pissing off my agents! 😅

  • @CatieMannino
    @CatieMannino Год назад

    It would be nice if we could get a video on seasonality in acting. I hear a lot of actors have busy summers and slow winters. It would be cool to see what times of the year you were most busy and how that impacts availability checks ect.

    @thaimkoconteh3639 Год назад +2

    I auditioned for 39 jobs in 2022 and got booked for 6, but none as a result of auditioning, but instead via networking and recommendations. It was my goal to audition for 100 jobs, but I got caught up producing my own short film, which I had to make in order for casting directors to get a better idea of my type and preference. All in all I think it was a good year. Could have gotten paid better tho. 😅

  • @zack1489
    @zack1489 Год назад

    First and foremost congratulations and continued success! The power of your channel is your POV and experience. I know you hit on this briefly, having booked more substantial roles, than in previous years. I was wondering, if this was an intentional “strategy change” between you and your agency. If so, why did you feel now was the time? Thank you.
    Side question: Is there any project/position inside or outside of the industry that you would give up auditioning for 6 months?

  • @mattwilliams8694
    @mattwilliams8694 Год назад +1

    Fun Stuff! I was curious, you touched on it briefly, were the type of roles in 22. Did you have more auditions for lead roles, recurring, strong supporting etc. Or have they all been about the same. Those could skew the numbers..

      @ActingCareerCenter  Год назад +2

      Thanks, Melissa! This was the first video I recorded with my Sony A73. I've actually had this camera for years and was using it for my headshot photography (when I was still doing that). I have better lenses for the Sony than my Canon 80D, which is what I was using before. The main reason I switched was to have a dedicated camera for RUclips and a separate dedicated camera for my self tapes. I still use the Canon 80D for self tapes.

    • @MelissaLeeGomez
      @MelissaLeeGomez Год назад

      @@ActingCareerCenter Thanks for sharing! I love the look. It’s rich & a touch moody which I personally love.
      I love your audition stat videos btw. I’ve been wanting to do this for myself since the first video you did a couple years ago. 😂 although this year I booked a total of 0 jobs yes, ZERO jobs lol despite so many auditions. (I did do 1 student film though so maybe not quite zero) But oddly, it’s not disappointing. I feel stronger than ever with my acting and I really focused on growing in Meisner technique this year. March will mark 2 years of consistent attendance at Houde! I start spoon rivers next week and I just completed setting up my home voiceover studio last night thanks to Keith walking me through it over zoom so I’m looking forward to 2023!!

    • @ActingCareerCenter
      @ActingCareerCenter  Год назад +1

      Yeah, I figured since I'm changing my camera, I might as well play with the lighting too. Same softbox lights as my self tape setup, just moved them around a bit.
      I love that you're finding the positives in a "down" year! Congrats on your growth at Houde! Here's to a great 2023!

    Hey Kurt, I’m an actor that lives in South Florida. I just recently got back into it. I’ve been doing a lot of stage plays and started filming an independent film last month all of which has been as you say direct offers. Almost every agency I look into involves giving them money in order for you to work for them. When I live in the NJ and NY area I learned right away that was a big no no. Correct me if I’m wrong. So where do you suggest I go from here. ANYTHING you can tell me would be most helpful. Great video by the way. Very inspiring and lots of great info. Thanks!!! Many blessings to you!!!

  • @justax5627

    @reefs7001 Год назад

    What is your opinion on someone who is in love with the acting industry and wants to be one but has severe social anxiety? I’m 15 and I’ve always wanted to be an actor but as I got older I began feeling more insecure and not liking myself. I feel like it’s what stops me, I am really bad socially and the thought of walking into an acting class TERRIFIES me only because of how much more confident everyone else will be , I know I’ll question my own confidence and feel so little and ugh. Like is acting just not for me? But then why do I feel like it’s all I want like I’d be an amazing actor I swear, I just do not know how to build that kind of confidence. I don’t know if any of this makes sense but I really love your channel and I enjoy watching them allll the time and taking my little notes :)
