I will be checking this out. Couldn't have come at a better time for me, what I needed to reboot myself during this pandemic. I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel. Back to my interview prep for tomorrow. I'll pass this video to others to check out. Thank you.
You are the reason I keep going. I live in Tampa and I'm 16 , I've wanted to be an actress ever since I was a kid. I study every day and I know I'll make it !! Thank you Wendy !

Hey Wendy, as someone thinking about chasing my "what if" curiosity about acting, i think of all the "that guy" characters i watched growing up. Some of which arent around anymore, and some just now getting their respect. Even the public says "damn this guy must really love what he does". Like life, ya get what you put in. Thanks for your inspiration, and for telling it like it is.
Ahh! When you said you received an email, I knew what it was going to say! Thanks for sharing, Wendy. I’ve been acting, in Hollywood, also for 20+ yrs. & I teach classes & coach. I’ve had clients lately who, don’t listen & it makes me sad. I thought I’d always maintain the will & positive attitude to stay strong, no matter what. But, it’s hard, sometimes. You have to let them go by. So, know that when you share your heart, you help your compadres keep their heads up! Xo
Stay encouraged! You can't help everyone, some won't make it because they refuse to listen! That has nothing to do with you! Keep doing what you love! YOU are amazing! Be SURE to SUBSCRIBE to this channel RIGHT NOW! And Join my FB group Talent Managers for Actors facebook.com/groups/843656639050766/ where you can ASK any question you want!! :) (Psssttt: There are 35 Agents and Managers in TMFA all looking for new talent like you!) I want you in my life
Wendy, this was a very sobering message for me! Thanks for the wake-up call! No, really! Thanks! (No, I'm not the guy she's talking about! But I (used to, effective immediately) have a similar inclination, for sure!)
That guy!!! If somebody that is in the business is telling you the way things work, just trust hem, do not argue and be grateful for the advice. Love your videos. Where and when do these showcases take place?
9:00 Wendy is right about not having a career if you start out being "difficult'. However.....we know of MANY big box office, big money-making stars who, after developing a very successful career, have become totally mean and abusive tyrants or in some cases total control freaks over people and projects. But this happens in every profession.
I Loooove watching your videos! I think you have the greatest advices for actors. You are wise and super experienced, clearly! Hopefully one day I will have the pleasure of meeting you! Thank you for taking your time and knowledge to guide us on our path!
+Carolina Maximo Thank you Carolina. You are precious and Awesome! Stay close, READ MY BOOKS they are so helpful - www.secretsofahollywoodtalentmanager.com and be sure to subscribe to this channel! See you on the RED CARPET!
Wendy you’re an amazing woman and so smart. The raw lessons you give are invaluable! I hope I have a manager as great as you someday I have ZERO experience but I’m enrolling in a class for acting as we speak! 💪🏻😁😁
Hey Wendy I just had my first audition tonight. It was fun I really enjoyed it I also got a callback that's tomorrow! Who would've thought I've never done acting or modeling but seems like it would be a great opportunity.
Haha, "and then an idiot appeared..." Love all of your videos, especially this one! Have been working through them 4 or 5 a night so I can fully digest the information and learn. So LOVE your style, and the timing on that line was impeccable ;) Keep up the videos. You're making the world a better place, one idiot at a time. Love, Tina, American actress in Beijing, China
You're videos may save me from myself. "Shut up and Smile." In order to understand things I question alot and I never want it to come across as pushback and I can see how it can be perceived as such. Watching your videos and reading your books alone have transformed my resume, reel, social media setup and development of my own content. You don't know me personally but I have a presence. I'm determined, hardworking and have a great support team of artists who are the same. So, Don't be surprised when you see your name in the Thank you credits in a Heartland film Festival movie. I play your youtube vidoes in the car on the way to work and just listen and connect some of the dots in the business that I don't know about. Grateful.
Hey I am a big fan of your videos I’m from Jackson, Ms. which is like a super small town where not a lot of people get anywhere but you inspired me I have always wanted to be an actress and because of you I have decided to go back to school and take theatre to get my background. You have literally given me the tools to start my career. Thank you
I love your pep talks. They’re so harsh, but necessary lol so fitting for the business because it’s cutthroat and people like me need this reminder to ‘suck it up buttercup!’
Dear god some people are idiots! You don't argue with anyone be they a manager, agent or something else, you be professional and try to learn and if you don't know a certain thing be polite and ask dear god why don't people get that!?
So glad for this verification about the credits. I will be changing all my principals to supporting or lead. My other actor friend and I were just having this conversation about how we were confused about this.
YOU are amazing! I am so proud of you for following your dreams:). Be SURE to SUBSCRIBE to this channel RIGHT NOW! And Join my FB group Talent Managers for Actors facebook.com/groups/843656639050766/ where you can ASK any question you want!! :) (Psssttt: There are 35 Agents and Managers in TMFA all looking for new talent like you!) I want you in my life
Thanks Wendy. I'm on your page Talent Management for actors. Just parted ways with my team out here in Los Angeles. Re-branded my look and trying to strengthen my package to market myself better. I will be contacting you for a consult soon, there are a couple of things i'm feeling overwhelmed about on the business side. Loving your videos. Thank you for your positive energy and expertise.
Agreed! Shut up and listen. Can’t stand people who think they know it more than the people who really know it. Blows my mind every time. Your vlogs are fantastic!
I like how you put it out there, thanks for all your knowledge, my son Just graduated from AMDA in NY, hopefully he gets some of what you are saying cause I am blasting it lol. I really don’t know much about the business but it’s all the advice I would give to him, he is talented but there are many talented actors out there. Thank you thank you!
LoL....oh I love it Wendy. I'm not an actor or inspire to be one, but the stories you share are so relatable regarding the way people conduct themselves. LMFAO... someday that kid will get it that is if he's willing to endure the process!
Thank for you videos so much. I'm from Hawaii and it's hard to think to pick up everything and move to L.A but your videos make me feel equipped and more ready than before... Much Mahalos 😊😋
Love it. Great advice. I’m really enjoying your videos. So glad I found you on RUclips. I have a couple of questions, my son is starting out and has an agent. He is taking acting classes. I am wanting to self submit on Actors Access and Casting Frontier, and after watching your videos, Backstage too. My question is when does he need a manager and where can I find theatre play acting opportunities for him since they do not offer this at his school? How does he find a manager? Thank you!
StrawberryNoodlez I know, right! LOL Stay close Strawberry! www.secretsofahollywodtalentmanager.com Be sure to watch my videos and please SUBSCRIBE to my channel for really helpful acting a career advice. xoxo
The Hollywood Talent Manager Wendy Alane Wright I watch all your lovely vids and have subscribed! I want to be on broadway someday and a lot of these actually work along with that as well, so I thank you for your wonderful advice. It has saved me from shaking a hand or two ;) haha
You are AMAZING! I love that are straight forward and aren’t afraid to be honest about what you’re thinking. I can’t tell you how many times I have a question about acting and I go UH Wendy would know what to do!!! I love watching you :) hope to meet you one day!
Thankyou very much am from Kenya i will be in auditions tomorrow I had to pass by to get some tips...I pray all will be well at least I have learnt something
Ive grown up in a family business of construction and lemme tell ya theres so many people who watch 1 or 2 home renovation shows and think they can install a full kitchen with 4 piece crown molding and tile backsplash. What it taught me is, if im gonna be an actor as long i think the person has my best interest at heart im gonna take the advice and move on.
Poor dog xD I really like your way to share your knowledge and the straightforwardness of your words. Keep going this way, following you and hope to meet you someday for career review :)
2:40 I believe they call an argumentative actor "difficult" in Hollywood. You can argue with anyone if you are a huge box office star. But if you are a nobody and you argue, you will remain a nobody.
Watching all your videos now, and finding them extremely helpful and full of so much information that is really making things clearer for me, so thank you though some are older videos and you might not read this, really thank you. Makes me very much inclined in accomplishing things by learning more about the business and by listening to your advices I feel as if this path isn't completely impossible. :)
Bella Mc-Caty I read all the comments. I'm glad the video are helpful to you. As long as you feel motivated to get up, trust in yourself and follow your dreams then my work is being done. Life is short, your life is important. You have the right to experience your future accomplishments. You must believe in yourself and take bold action.

Can you make a video giving advice on auditioning at an open casting call with minimal experience? Such as the NWA: Straight Outta Compton open casting? It would be much appreciated!
If you have minimal experience and still want to audition. make sure you prepare a piece that you PRACTICE so many times you know it backwards and forwards, Inside and out. It should be TIGHT. Then just go do it and have fun!
Hi Can l ask in America do agents charge their talent to be on their books ? Just wonder as in Australia its free until you get work and then the agent will take 10% of what you make whenever you get a job. However we have to pay for our own casting network etc. Thank u
THANK you so much Wendy Alane Wright. I am so glad that I have found that extra help and advise before I go to IMTA this coming year. I would never stop reaching for the stars and my dreams.
I definitely plan too because I want to see for myself how well I handle pressure like this compared to the pressure of a play in my local studios. I just have that amazing feeling of being on a stage. Also I know that I am meant to be on a stage somewhere at sometime during my young life. Again thank you so much for all of the videos that you have made to help us get ready for the big leagues. This is the best way I can explain it.
Disresectful to say the least. Listen rather than trying to put your ego together by trying to school the teacher. Not cool. Unfortunately, some actors really need to see this video.
Thank you for a great video Miss Wendy, I believe your teachings would go well with Society in general, many should learn to just shut up and listen, but...we don't, thus come the consequences, hopefully one learns...
@wendyalanewright WOW!! I find your personality awesome! Tell it like it is. Great video! Thank you so much for sharing. Upcoming aspiring Actors like me, value the sponge of knowledge and want to do well, so why would you challenge the ones that hold the keys. I sincerely value these inside tips AND actually have a video interview tomorrow that I got just out of nowhere few hrs ago and no time for prep. Its been awhile but Instead of be an "idiot" and be unprepared I decided to be proactive and do some prep RUclips to give my best A game I can tomorrow with the time presented to me. Thank you for this, I will apply your notes as well and I didn't know that fact about film roles so thank you! Man what an opportunity that guy had and blew it. Id a traded with him in a second. You have a new Subscriber. :) If I ever make it to LA I hope to land in your office. Thanks for the info!
@@wendyalane1 no thank you! You are saving so many of us actors from making careless mistakes, those of us that want to learn and do well. Im excited to see what else you post soon!🤣 Sorry my RUclips isn't built up yet, I just decided to build one and instagram and Twitter etc.So much lol. Feel free to follow me @brezeegirlluv_88 If you have one please let me know! I'll also send it to other actors to support. Keep being you I love it. You had me rolling🤣 and your hair gives me life.😁 I'm a natural curly head to.I'll check out the webinar very soon.
7:18 Wendy, you awful mean bully. How dare you say that a totally inexperienced naive twenty-year old doesn't know more than you about show business.Their entire twenty years has been an experience of listening to mommy and daddy saying how wonderful, gifted, intelligent and beautiful their child is, and that their child is entitled to anything they want in life just for being alive !!
Hi @Wendy, what you don’t tell us is this actor’s age. You’ve probably been in the business longer than he’s been born. Haha! Thanks for all your exceptional advice, Wendy!😘❤️🌹💋🙏🏽🙌🏽
Nefertari Nzinga Know your character.who they're talking to during the monologue? What's their relationship with that person? How does that impact the monologue? What past experiences has the character had that they bring up to life through this monologue? You can even take each sentence of the monologue and give it a meaning.Create a person who you become during the monologue.Talk from their perspective (like it's your own) without any added dramatic movement if the character doesn't require it.Just like a normal person would hold a personal speech.

That's embarrassing, completely disrespectful nobody wants to work with that type. He could of had it made.
this was great advice! I used to put principal under film a short while ago smh. I love how blunt and straightforward you were on this vid!
Wendy you’re an amazing woman and so smart. The raw lessons you give are invaluable! I hope I have a manager as great as you someday I have ZERO experience but I’m enrolling in a class for acting as we speak! 💪🏻😁😁
Hey Wendy I just had my first audition tonight. It was fun I really enjoyed it I also got a callback that's tomorrow! Who would've thought I've never done acting or modeling but seems like it would be a great opportunity.
Omg, how did it went? Did you get booked? I hope so

I giggled this entire video, people need to learn to listen! you have taught me som much just from the few videos I've watched starting my career.
Dear god some people are idiots! You don't argue with anyone be they a manager, agent or something else, you be professional and try to learn and if you don't know a certain thing be polite and ask dear god why don't people get that!?
Why does it make you so mad? You can only control what you do dude, not others. Don’t give them control over your emotions. You’re welcome 😁

Love your videos...can you make a video about casting websites and the pros and cons of casting websites..again love your videos.
Just became a subscriber! Let my journey to see all your videos begin! 💪
We say principle in theater lol but dude should have let it go and I’m sure it’s different
Love it. Great advice. I’m really enjoying your videos. So glad I found you on RUclips. I have a couple of questions, my son is starting out and has an agent. He is taking acting classes. I am wanting to self submit on Actors Access and Casting Frontier, and after watching your videos, Backstage too. My question is when does he need a manager and where can I find theatre play acting opportunities for him since they do not offer this at his school? How does he find a manager? Thank you!
Omg your so funny! Haha I love you. Thank you for your sharing your knowledge with us and your professional advice.
Really enjoying your videos. Good to have such expressive advice!😜
Thank you so much. I love your videos. They're so helpful you have no idea.

Wise words, duly noted.
You are AMAZING! I love that are straight forward and aren’t afraid to be honest about what you’re thinking.
I can’t tell you how many times I have a question about acting and I go UH Wendy would know what to do!!! I love watching you :) hope to meet you one day!
I am loving your vids! :) Quick Question: from a theater/on-stage perspective, is it LEAD or PRINCIPAL?
Thankyou very much am from Kenya i will be in auditions tomorrow I had to pass by to get some tips...I pray all will be well at least I have learnt something
Ive grown up in a family business of construction and lemme tell ya theres so many people who watch 1 or 2 home renovation shows and think they can install a full kitchen with 4 piece crown molding and tile backsplash. What it taught me is, if im gonna be an actor as long i think the person has my best interest at heart im gonna take the advice and move on.
Excellent, great advise, and for some reason reminds me somehow of the movie Barton Fink.
Thank you for these amazing videos I’m going to my first open call and I’m really nervous
You’ve humbled me and thank you.
You are so welcome!
I thought the second paragraph would be him explaining why it’s principal 😂
I am Grateful for your Knowledge, much appreciated.
Brilliant advice.
Thank you!
Poor dog xD I really like your way to share your knowledge and the straightforwardness of your words. Keep going this way, following you and hope to meet you someday for career review :)
These are so helpful thank you so much.
2:40 I believe they call an argumentative actor "difficult" in Hollywood. You can argue with anyone if you are a huge box office star. But if you are a nobody and you argue, you will remain a nobody.
Amen! LISTEN scrambled is SILENT. I will learn and absorb.
LOL! The guy should quit acting and get into bridge burning. Clearly he's better at that than acting.
Watching all your videos now, and finding them extremely helpful and full of so much information that is really making things clearer for me, so thank you though some are older videos and you might not read this, really thank you. Makes me very much inclined in accomplishing things by learning more about the business and by listening to your advices I feel as if this path isn't completely impossible. :)

Hi Can l ask in America do agents charge their talent to be on their books ? Just wonder as in Australia its free until you get work and then the agent will take 10% of what you make whenever you get a job. However we have to pay for our own casting network etc. Thank u
I love your Videos!!! Thank you!!!!
yup agree. thanks for sharing.
True true true. Its better to listen actively than to speak. Thanks to Wendy Alane Wright for sharing this. Many many blessings to you 💯💯❣❣❣❣
You are so welcome! Same for you!
Thank you. I love your honesty.
What is the difference between a manager and an agent?
THANK you so much Wendy Alane Wright. I am so glad that I have found that extra help and advise before I go to IMTA this coming year. I would never stop reaching for the stars and my dreams.
+Jordan Neff YOU NEED TO READ THIS IF YOU PLAN ON DOING IMTA
secretsofatalentmanager.blogspot.com/2015/01/what-happens-if-la-agent-or-manager.html
I definitely plan too because I want to see for myself how well I handle pressure like this compared to the pressure of a play in my local studios. I just have that amazing feeling of being on a stage. Also I know that I am meant to be on a stage somewhere at sometime during my young life. Again thank you so much for all of the videos that you have made to help us get ready for the big leagues. This is the best way I can explain it.
This business takes patients!!
Disresectful to say the least. Listen rather than trying to put your ego together by trying to school the teacher. Not cool. Unfortunately, some actors really need to see this video.
Do manage actors in Texas ? Or only in la?
it's always better to just absorb information at events and when meeting managers and networking...
Thank you for a great video Miss Wendy, I believe your teachings would go well with Society in general, many should learn to just shut up and listen, but...we don't, thus come the consequences, hopefully one learns...
Love you girl I would love to learn a lot of things from you . I’m coming to LA and hope to meet you there
Great advice! Thank you
Love your hair 😍
7:31 ahaha I love it Wendy!
@wendyalanewright WOW!! I find your personality awesome! Tell it like it is. Great video! Thank you so much for sharing. Upcoming aspiring Actors like me, value the sponge of knowledge and want to do well, so why would you challenge the ones that hold the keys. I sincerely value these inside tips AND actually have a video interview tomorrow that I got just out of nowhere few hrs ago and no time for prep. Its been awhile but Instead of be an "idiot" and be unprepared I decided to be proactive and do some prep RUclips to give my best A game I can tomorrow with the time presented to me. Thank you for this, I will apply your notes as well and I didn't know that fact about film roles so thank you! Man what an opportunity that guy had and blew it. Id a traded with him in a second. You have a new Subscriber. :) If I ever make it to LA I hope to land in your office. Thanks for the info!
Briana thank you! I appreciate that!

7:18 Wendy, you awful mean bully. How dare you say that a totally inexperienced naive twenty-year old doesn't know more than you about show business.Their entire twenty years has been an experience of listening to mommy and daddy saying how wonderful, gifted, intelligent and beautiful their child is, and that their child is entitled to anything they want in life just for being alive !!
It is the same for every industry.
Hi @Wendy, what you don’t tell us is this actor’s age. You’ve probably been in the business longer than he’s been born. Haha! Thanks for all your exceptional advice, Wendy!😘❤️🌹💋🙏🏽🙌🏽
I loved this video whole heartedly. I think in general it's such a pain when you're trying to teach someone who argues with you on every other point.
can I give me some quick tips on how to do a great monolouge?
or if anybody can let me know
Nefertari Nzinga Know your character.who they're talking to during the monologue? What's their relationship with that person? How does that impact the monologue? What past experiences has the character had that they bring up to life through this monologue? You can even take each sentence of the monologue and give it a meaning.Create a person who you become during the monologue.Talk from their perspective (like it's your own) without any added dramatic movement if the character doesn't require it.Just like a normal person would hold a personal speech.
