OOOPS NO actors Do not write "non-union" on a resume. If the actor is not SAG-AFTRA we know they are non union. We don't write it on resumes. - Hollywood Talent Manager
Hey I’m having trouble I have no headshot and I’ve been in a commercial once I have no resume or anything how do I get started acting how do I find a manager or agent????
Could you please make an acting video about Headshots? Like what to do, what not to do, where to get them done, you know, that sort of stuff. It would really help me, (and I think), a lot of other people starting with acting. Thanks!
For my Headshots, (My Nina is a student in a photogrpahy class) I had my Nina take them. They are good enough for now. Maybe a close family friend can do them for cheap?
I have 3 questions. 1. Do you have an agent? 2.How do you get an agent? 3.How do you find auditions if you don't have an agent? Thank you so much. Luv these videos
Maybe - ish thats untrue.if you get signed you have to sign a contract to agree to What percent of your money you want them to take from your salary. different levels of agents has a higher Minimum
Heyitst _ does it cost money to do auditions or get an agent that just one huge question I have because I want to do this and start getting more into it but if it requires a lot of money I probably am not going to be able to do half of it
I bought a book that a casting director wrote and I notice that a lot of times you tend to tell people to give their age.. Well in the book it said you shouldn't give your exact age, and if you do give an age range of ages you could portray. And when you go into an acting room slate in character and she said that directors and all aren't supposed to ask you your age so if they do tell them the age of the character you are auditioning for and stay in character.. Example : if your 17 auditioning for a role of a 15 year old girl and they ask the age .. Stay in character and tell them your 15 And your resume shouldn't have your age on it or if it did have a range like 15-20
I know its 2 years late but Crystal Reed was 25 or something and She was acting as Allison who is 16... So I dont technincally think you should Lie about your age.
I think you are a bit confused. Anyone under the age of 18 has to slate their real age. What you are thinking of is a PLAYING age. This is the age that you LOOK/ can play, for example if you are 13 but you look about 15, you would state you real age, but also your playing age/range. So an example of a proper slate would be this: Hello, I am *your name*, I'm 13 years old with a playing range of 13-15 years old and I am *your height*. It is optional, but if you are managed by a talent agency you can also mention "I am represented by *your agency*. What you've just kind of implied is that you should lie to the casting directors about your age to increase your chances of getting a role, which seems tempting to do but then can spiral out of control, especially if you lie about being older than you really are and then are asked to do some scenes that are too mature for your real age. Casting directors find lying a HUGE turn off and you can end up getting in their bad books and ultimately not booking work if you start to build this bad reputation of lying.
It has always been my dream to be an actress. My teachers have told me that I am really good and I really want to get into acting, but my parents want me to be a nurse or doctor and I don’t know what they will do if I told them I wanted to be an actress.
I feel you. My mom freaked out when I told her I wanted to audition for a movie. She said some stuff that really upset me. I was 9 at the time but still.
Go for it. If they say no make a slideshow about information of why you would be a good actor. Unless they respond to funny things better, then maybe make up a skit. It'll be embarassing but Worth It
Every time my mom asks what I wanna be I just say idk cuz I don’t wanna get into how I don’t wanna go into medicine like she does and I wanna be an actress instead
My tip for beginning actors: To expand your resume start doing local theatre or a studio that automatically cast you. It allows you to gain experience as some places won’t give you a main role if you have no experience! I was Matilda in Matilda in DFW and auditioning for Little Elsa on Broadway in April
I had a casting director tell me to never put a headshot on my resume. I was auditioning for a film in Hollywood and he said it made me look like an amateur. I was very new to the LA scene and felt chastised and embarrassed. Maybe things have changed.
no, you're very right indeed. this video is VERY old, so putting your headshot on your resume was considered the industry norm... not anymore! instead, staple your resume onto the back of your headshot (which should be 8" by 10" on photo paper) and cut it down to match the size of it. I'm really sorry about your experience, but let this be a learning curve for us all! Good luck!
My name is Aissatou Bah. I am ten year old. I have no acting experience but I do take acting classes. I want to be in Decendents 3 and I want to be the next big thing. Your channel really help me because it gives me the confidence to do something really big. Thank you!
I never really thought of becoming an actor and I never know what to say when people ask me what I want to do, but I recently got the opportunity to be one and that is really something I would enjoy doing. So I am trying my best to do things correctly and thanks to you for helping me out :)
I actually attended a training on this exact topic with a producer who spoke about how everyone has to start somewhere, everyone is given their opportunity no one is born a star this past weekend at the TV and Film Summit was an online virtual event, live and the best part it was FREE also you are doing a phenomenal job keep it up!
I'm filming myself doing monologues from books, movies,tv shows, random online ones, & some monologues I made up and I'm posting them on RUclips and TikTok so I'll be able to reference them. (I'm mainly only posting them on TikTok because it's such a big platform right now and if they go big on there I can direct people over to my RUclips, which I haven't posted any of the monologues on my RUclips yet.)
This is major! Thank you for sharing all your expertise. I am 8 years old and looking for a talent agency. I’ve been modeling for years and switched agencies. This agency doesn’t have a talent division so I’m on the hunt! This will really help me a great deal.
I’m not an actor yet but I’m in acting class rn but any age is appropriate and I’m sure you acting teacher should handle the agent part because my acting teacher told me that you will have to make a headshot and resumé then they should help you from there
iv always wanted to be an actress since 5 years old now im 13 iv never gone for an audition before but i belive i will one day one time thats why im wathing this i love it u know what they say better early than late
Thank you so much! I’m a beginner actor (I act in tv commercials) and I hadn’t gotten a job in months. I updated my resume using this video and I just got a great job in an upcoming kids toy commercial by a big company!
I am on my sister's account but I just wanted to say something to you. You have helped me so much, I have understood acting more and more. I will soon get the confidence to tell my dad that I wanna audition for a movie or a tv show. One day. It depends if anything costs a lot of money. I am young, but I want to be noticed for being me, that fun goofy little girl.
what should i do if i’m a competitive dancer and i’ve played parts in a dance ?(sebastian the crab from the little mermaid & raja the tiger from aladdin)
you should go for it!! even if you can’t act very well right away, the only way you will get better is by going to classes!! and everyone starts somewhere and tbh no one judges because most people started off not being very good!! good luck
Every actor has the exact same fear. Every single one. The great ones, are the ones who do it anyways. The ones who go up and are willing to look foolish. To put their heart out there when they perform. What's the worst that could happen? You go up and do horribly. Or, you never even try and don't get to find out all the ways you could have great at it. Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. You got this!!!
Hey Rachel I have been wanting to do acting for almost my whole life and I found your account and it helped me a whole lot you changed my life and made everything easier for me keep it up I love you so much thank you for being so inspiring and helpful to people!!!!!!😊😁🤗🤗😊😊😊❤️♥️💓💕💞💜💙💚💛💗 THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!!
I am trying to take acting classes right now. And I am new to headshots and resumes ik what they are I just don't have them. I will make one one day but rn I am trying to start off easy like be an extra and learn more to one day maybe be an actor and have dialogue and we'll try my best your tips stress helpful for me thank you ❤️
Rachel, can you please make a video on how to get experience? (What to take to get experience, how many times do you need to do it, etc.etc. Thank you!
Does being in a theatre production/pantomime (Aladdin), a rehearsed dance performance on stage and a school production count as experience? Just 3 things?
If you are still in high school, you can join a drama club or a theater class. A lot of the time they are free, or they have a small fee.($5-$15 generally). I joined my school drama club and the fee is $7, but with a T-Shirt it's $15. And a lot of these classes do have school plays involved that you will most likely be in. I wish you luck!
Thanks Rachel, In a short while I may go back into acting. I did acting in drama class in school. I enjoyed it then yet we never read scripts. I am screenwriter now and I know what scripts consist of so I think that I can act on tv.
You helped me sooooo much. I'm auditioning for Disney Chanel. When I first saw you I was like ooo she seems good and you are!❤️ You have me so many tips and things I could do to help me because... I'm stage fright... but you helped me conquer that!! Thanksssss so much❤️❤️❤️
You got this! Don't give up. Start doing all the plays and musicals you can with your school, church, local playhouse. Let her see how hard you are working on it. That you are serious.
I just got into acting and theatre recently and your videos help so much, especially since I have no one to go to for help with things like this! thank you for making these!! p.s, you look a lot like Belle from once upon a time
Thanks Rachel for all you helped me through. Your helping me make my dreams come true! Dreams being acting and mostly acting on Disney Channel thanks! Love you Rachel!!!!!
actingislitmylife Can u please make a video on how to make a perfect audition tape? Include frame, lighting, wardrobe,setting/ background, recording equipment, hair, tone of how you read the script, and any more ideas that you can think of. Please Rachel??? Thanks so much!!!
Thank you for this video becase iv been looking at some agencys and, the only thing keeping me away from trying to sign with one is the resame thing. So i wanna thank you for making this video becase i dont have any experience with acting. And thank you for making this less difficult for me!
Omg. Thank u so much for these videos. I have a video suggestion! "How to cry on cue" and if u dont know how. Thats okay! I know u can be a actress i know u have it in you! Dont give up! I am planning to audition on Disney Channel when im 12-15 or so. This advice helps me alot!! Thank you! My dream is to be a actress someday.
Not necessarily; you can be a professional actor without being a member of one of the unions. There are benefits and drawbacks to joining some of the acting unions, depending on how you join. You do have to get cast in a professional production in order to be eligible to join a union, but that does not by any means mean you are required to join. Some examples of some benefits and drawbacks of joining a union: with any of the unions, as a member you are protected from being mistreated, underpaid, overworked, etc. while involved with a project. However, depending on your union membership type, you may be required to only accept union contracts and will be unable to do nonunion work without the risk of losing your union membership. Unions are essentially groups that protect the workers in an industry from mistreatment of any kind, and they exist in a large variety of industries, from acting to construction to unions for people who work in mines. But, as I said previously, you don't necessarily have to be a member of any of the acting unions in order to be a professional actor. You might not be able to take union contracts, but there are a large number of projects out there that are nonunion and paid. The distinction between a professional actor and a non-professional actor (by that I don't mean an actor who doesn't behave and act in a professional manner) is simply whether or not the actor has been paid for any of the roles they've portrayed.
rachel, i want to know how to start on acting when i don't live in the USA, and there are no agencies or film productions around my area and so i have to fly to L.A or anywhere in the USA during the summer, and i need some help. Plssss make a video on that.
I'm from Romania, my dream is to become an actress and I'm still young and I dont have any experience yet but I want to go at an acting college in my country, get some experience and then I want to move in America and find an agent and this video gave me so much more hopes and clarified me so much so thank you so much!!
you can use microsft word if you have a windows or a macbook (i think but i wouldnt know cause im pore) but if ur on a chromebook or a talet/phone there is many options such as google docs, paper ect
Can you please make a video on how to fake cry on cue it's one thing I'm really having a little bit of trouble doing and I've already searched through many videos but they didn't help.
Rachel u helped me sooooo much of being a actress I always wanted to be one but I’m still chasing my dreams until I be one but thank u so much u helped me so much and made my life easier so as my dreams❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕😍😍😍😍😍🥺🥺🥺
This is so helpful. I'm preparing for auditioning in a musical but I have never done anything before. I've done some stuff but not broadway, it's kinda crazy cause I'm 12 yo. Wish me luck
I love your videos! they are sooooo helpful! can you make a video about your drama club (or class) experience? like the first day of it and activities you do. :)
stupid question, how do I make it into columns on word? like when you put the show character/role and theater/director. like how did you get the right amount of space between them to make them into columns? what do you click?
Question: I did fun little plays in elementary school, about 3 or 4 a year but they weren't serious AT ALL. I shouldn't put this on my commercial/film right??
Hi! I was wondering where you would put choir on your resume. Would it be in training or not on at all? Thanks! Also great video, very helpful like all of your videos!
What do you do if you had training but you don’t remember the name of the person who trained you? Do you not put it on your resume and tell the person your talking to? Like if your talking to a casting director or the agency you want to sign with.

Wendy Alane Wright The Hollywood Talent Manager, Thanks was watching the video and comments and saw this pop up,
I’ve also seen you’re channel and was wondering if you could make a video of agencies you would recommend to people, like beginners
Hey I’m having trouble I have no headshot and I’ve been in a commercial once I have no resume or anything how do I get started acting how do I find a manager or agent????
Gta Mad master007 , I would recommend watching Audrey hopes resume video

There’s one by “Audrey hope”
I have 3 questions.
1. Do you have an agent?
2.How do you get an agent?
3.How do you find auditions if you don't have an agent?
Thank you so much. Luv these videos
did she give response to these questions?
You can still audition without a agent! If you make The audition you can find a agent because ur agency will start to recommend you to DIFFRENT agents
Maybe - ish thats untrue.if you get signed you have to sign a contract to agree to What percent of your money you want them to take from your salary. different levels of agents has a higher Minimum
Maybe - ish they only get 20 %
Heyitst _ does it cost money to do auditions or get an agent that just one huge question I have because I want to do this and start getting more into it but if it requires a lot of money I probably am not going to be able to do half of it

I'm filming myself doing monologues from books, movies,tv shows, random online ones, & some monologues I made up and I'm posting them on RUclips and TikTok so I'll be able to reference them.

Of course I'm putting my own twist on the monologues, it's no fun if I'm just copying the actor.
I'm trying out for my first paying performance this week and this so helped me! TYSM!!!
Im trying to start acting, could you give me a step by step kinda way on where to start and where to go when starting to act.
REMEMBER ME WHEN YOUR FAMOUS
This is major! Thank you for sharing all your expertise. I am 8 years old and looking for a talent agency. I’ve been modeling for years and switched agencies. This agency doesn’t have a talent division so I’m on the hunt! This will really help me a great deal.
How old is a good age to get an agent? and what sorts of “experience” is appropriate x
Jess xx
I’m sure that about a year after acting it things and experience is any time you’ve done acting,
Like
Plays, films, tv shows,anything
Jess xx I’m not 100% sure about the agent thing though
I’m not an actor yet but I’m in acting class rn but any age is appropriate and I’m sure you acting teacher should handle the agent part because my acting teacher told me that you will have to make a headshot and resumé then they should help you from there
In some markets you don't even need an agent. Where are you based at? What type of acting do you want to do?
You are so amazing!! I have NO acting experience, and I've learned so musch from you!!
iv always wanted to be an actress since 5 years old now im 13 iv never gone for an audition before but i belive i will one day one time thats why im wathing this i love it u know what they say better early than late

I’m in John casablancas acting classes and next week I needed a rough draft of a resume and this rly helped!!
Does being in a theatre production/pantomime (Aladdin), a rehearsed dance performance on stage and a school production count as experience? Just 3 things?
👍Yes! 😁
I do want some training I acting but they all are so expensive, do you happen to know one that's free?
RUclips
+Awesomeness101 great thanks
(You can't cite RUclips on a resume)
If you are still in high school, you can join a drama club or a theater class. A lot of the time they are free, or they have a small fee.($5-$15 generally). I joined my school drama club and the fee is $7, but with a T-Shirt it's $15. And a lot of these classes do have school plays involved that you will most likely be in. I wish you luck!
thank you sooooo much that really helped, I just started high school this week and I didn't that they have drama club and all that
For the hair part, if you have dyed hair do you put your natural hair colour of the current colour?
You should put your natural
The current 100% they want to know what you look like now!!!!!
Lucy L. Oh yes definitely if your whole hair is dyed! But if only like part of it or the tips you should put your natural.
Thanks so so much. Really helped me. I was making one but much preferred your layout. Your fab to watch x
Thanks Rachel,
In a short while I may go back into acting.
I did acting in drama class in school.
I enjoyed it then yet we never read scripts.
I am screenwriter now and I know what scripts consist of so I think that I can act on tv.
Hi Rachel! can you please do another video about self-taped auditions? Thanks!
hannahR5 I have a video all about self-taped auditions! ruclips.net/video/6hkeYhGawns/видео.html
You helped me sooooo much. I'm auditioning for Disney Chanel. When I first saw you I was like ooo she seems good and you are!❤️ You have me so many tips and things I could do to help me because... I'm stage fright... but you helped me conquer that!! Thanksssss so much❤️❤️❤️
Hi Rachel! I love your videos so much and you are such an inspiration! Love you and keep doing what you're doing! :))
Headshots!! How should I pose? What should I wear? What should it convey to the casting director /agent??
audrey hope has some videos on this!
Thank you Rachel. Very clear cut. Exactly what I was looking for. Gratitude sister 🙏🏻
very great info. Looking to go into acting.
I'm so excited for the contest and I would love it if you posted 2 videos a week for the rest of the summer
Rachel I love ur videos I was wondering if u can make another video like the what not to do at an audition video I would really appreciate it💙
what would I put as my type? I'm not sure what ties my best points together. I'm good at acting annoyed and stressed and maybe sad💕
Should you send a copy of your updated resume to your agent?
You should do a video on your film experiences and other acting jobs that you've done. Love your vids!
I want to become an actress but no one thinks I can do it. Whenever I talk to my mom about it she rolls her eyes and shakes her head no.
You got this! Don't give up. Start doing all the plays and musicals you can with your school, church, local playhouse. Let her see how hard you are working on it. That you are serious.
I just got into acting and theatre recently and your videos help so much, especially since I have no one to go to for help with things like this! thank you for making these!!
p.s, you look a lot like Belle from once upon a time
Thanks! I am just starting getting into theater so looking for all the help I can get!
What if you acted in a friends project film in highschool long, long time ago, is that a good add on to your resume? Or a reel to send to them?

I was wondering what a union was?
i looked it up cause i was curios to its basically being a union member means you are a professional actor. You have the card to prove it
Not necessarily; you can be a professional actor without being a member of one of the unions. There are benefits and drawbacks to joining some of the acting unions, depending on how you join. You do have to get cast in a professional production in order to be eligible to join a union, but that does not by any means mean you are required to join. Some examples of some benefits and drawbacks of joining a union: with any of the unions, as a member you are protected from being mistreated, underpaid, overworked, etc. while involved with a project. However, depending on your union membership type, you may be required to only accept union contracts and will be unable to do nonunion work without the risk of losing your union membership. Unions are essentially groups that protect the workers in an industry from mistreatment of any kind, and they exist in a large variety of industries, from acting to construction to unions for people who work in mines. But, as I said previously, you don't necessarily have to be a member of any of the acting unions in order to be a professional actor. You might not be able to take union contracts, but there are a large number of projects out there that are nonunion and paid. The distinction between a professional actor and a non-professional actor (by that I don't mean an actor who doesn't behave and act in a professional manner) is simply whether or not the actor has been paid for any of the roles they've portrayed.
Patrick Weeks does your agent help you join the Union. Or is it all on you?
You are a star! Thanks girl

THEY ARE NOT EVEN LOOKING FOR ACTORS WITHOUT BROADWAY OR HOLLYWOOD EXPERIENCE. IT HAS BEEN SAID.
rachel, i want to know how to start on acting when i don't live in the USA, and there are no agencies or film productions around my area and so i have to fly to L.A or anywhere in the USA during the summer, and i need some help. Plssss make a video on that.
Thank you so much this was so helpful, i did exactly what you did and i hope that it'll pay off! love you
what if you do not have a printer?
You are really pretty!!!
I'm from Romania, my dream is to become an actress and I'm still young and I dont have any experience yet but I want to go at an acting college in my country, get some experience and then I want to move in America and find an agent and this video gave me so much more hopes and clarified me so much so thank you so much!!
Question, if you have no experience how would you have a "type" ?
Nice! Very helpful thanks so much
Where do you make your resume? Is there a program on your computer or do you just use google docs?
R. Brothers I just used Microsoft Word!
+actingislitmylife what type of paper or is it just normal?
you can use microsft word if you have a windows or a macbook (i think but i wouldnt know cause im pore) but if ur on a chromebook or a talet/phone there is many options such as google docs, paper ect
Iloveacting15 you sbould use thick paper, so you dont have to worry about anything happening to it
Nora Herzog or u could just laminate it
Can you please make a video on how to fake cry on cue it's one thing I'm really having a little bit of trouble doing and I've already searched through many videos but they didn't help.
Rachel u helped me sooooo much of being a actress I always wanted to be one but I’m still chasing my dreams until I be one but thank u so much u helped me so much and made my life easier so as my dreams❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕😍😍😍😍😍🥺🥺🥺
Can you do a video on how can you go to an audition in LA if you live in Africa and how can you still be a Disney star if you live in Africa
Frank Cheeseball. Love it!!
This is so helpful. I'm preparing for auditioning in a musical but I have never done anything before. I've done some stuff but not broadway, it's kinda crazy cause I'm 12 yo. Wish me luck
Yes,you should upload twice a week,love you rachel❤
Alizee Kesbi Yay thanks! Love you too!
what if you can sing, but you sing off key or off pitch?
Well than you can’t really sing 😂
Awesome and to the point video for us beginners!!!
Also would you put getting a first place in solo ensemble on a resume?
Yay I'm so excited for the contest😃!
I love your videos! they are sooooo helpful! can you make a video about your drama club (or class) experience? like the first day of it and activities you do. :)
stupid question, how do I make it into columns on word? like when you put the show character/role and theater/director. like how did you get the right amount of space between them to make them into columns? what do you click?
Contest yass!!! And 2 videos a week please so I have my daily dose of actingislitmylife twice a week'
lifewithmaria YASS haha
Question: I did fun little plays in elementary school, about 3 or 4 a year but they weren't serious AT ALL. I shouldn't put this on my commercial/film right??
Rachel Maureen probably in the theater section. If they weren't serious, they are better than none, right?
I love your videos so much! Where would i put my experience of doing theatre makeup?
ALso, do you know of any other channels that post acting videos?
Hi! I was wondering where you would put choir on your resume. Would it be in training or not on at all? Thanks! Also great video, very helpful like all of your videos!
thank you so much rachel, you have helped me a lot can you tell me what a union is
thx
What do you do if you had training but you don’t remember the name of the person who trained you? Do you not put it on your resume and tell the person your talking to? Like if your talking to a casting director or the agency you want to sign with.
I think you should do two videos a week! Also, can you make a "All about acting workshops/classes/camps" video because that would be really cool!
xoJamilaxo OHH that's a great video Idea! Thanks so much! (:
So I did I play at my school, should I say the theater is my school or...
your my favorite you tuber ever! you helped me so much. thank you!!!!!!!!
