"I'm ready, please send my information to casting and Netflix"

Good luck man
@FaheemRashid That’s awesome! That’s 89 times you’ve put yourself out there. Keep it up! Maybe we’ll work together one day 🍀💯
It’s so cool that you’re doing this. I’ve wanted to act since I was literally like 2
Yay hopefully these help you take steps towards making it happen!!
I started acting 4 months ago and have fallen in love with it! I’m kind of suprised by you saying getting “promoted” on set was rare, because it’s happened to me 2 out of 3 sets I’ve been on so far! I’ve been told I’m a very good natural actor and it really does make me excited for my future in this field. I love it and want to learn every detail about it, thank you for the insight!
You're so inspiring dude, hope you make it big one day!
Thank you for being here why I’m navigating this journey!!! 🙏🙏
your interpretation of 002 was AMAZING! (one of the best scenes in s4), thanks for the video, I'll work hard to get cast someday :]
Thank you!!! It was a privilege to be part of such a beautiful show. If you stay invested in the craft, you’ll have the sustainability to find your place!!
Was really passionate about film and acting way back when I was still in middle school, had a big dream but didn't know where to start, the internet wasn't helping either because of how people in this industry prefer to gatekeep everything. So refreshing to see someone so open and passionate about this industry. Your videos are going to help a lot of young aspiring actors, best of luck man.
I am Deaf, and I wanted to be a Deaf actor because all of Deaf actors/actresses inspired me. That's why Actor is my passion and dream, I won't give up on that.
massive w, hope everything goes your way!
I am Deaf and amazing You are Deaf and you love it and I wish actor but I’m think about it and I can’t and hope will 🙏🤟
Bro you’re awesome! You did so dang amazing in ST. It’s my favorite show ever, and it just keeps getting better.
Ya know what’s funny? When I watched Stranger Things and saw 002, no joke, I said, “Oh my gosh, this person’s performance is incredible!!” Honestly, you deserve getting your roles, you seem like such a great person and you’re a very talented actor. Keep it up!! Love your videos!!
NO FRR!! I loved their acting so muchh it was so good 😭
@@shykami-ft5so IKKKK
I just came across your channel and i wanted to say you were so freaking good in stranger things!!! It’s my favorite show of all time and it’s so cool that your on here replying to so many comments!! ❤❤
I have always had a passion for acting, and luckily, I had the opportunity to work as an extra in 2018 and 2019 when I moved from Brazil to Dublin, Ireland. I was a part of the TV series Krypton (season 2) and Game of Thrones (season 8). It was an incredible experience to work alongside the main cast, and it made me want to pursue a career in acting. Unfortunately, I had to return to Brazil and have been quite busy in the past few years. I am grateful that your video appeared in my RUclips recommendations. It reminded me that I need to focus on what I truly want. Thank you for sharing this video, mate.
Thank you so much! This is was very helpful. Your videos give a great insight of how the industry works, which is something not many of us know.
Of course thank you for watching!! I’m happy these are helpful!
Tysmm I really love stranger things and when I watched it I knew I wanted to act I just am gonna wait till I’m a little older to get a agent I do some stage performances right now !!! Thank you so much
Love this Tristan I'm using this in my Actors workshop August 29th at Capernaum Studios .. This is gold wish you could be there !!
@@ronihummel-videochatoncast9412 that’s awesome hopefully it helps! Send me an email and perhaps we can make something happen: filmvigilante@gmail.com
i’m not old enough to get a job on my own yet, but this seems like it would be SUPER COOL and i think i might want to do a bit of acting when i’m older!
Thank you for this video, it helped me a lot. I'm Brazilian and I really want to be a Netflix or Max actress, and I'm going to do everything I can to make that happen!
Thank you so much for giving us insight into the industry. Love from Pakistan.
I’ve been wanted to act for a while and I’ve been in a few plays, I just don’t know where to start and how to get an agent, get all the requirements, find casting calls, and audition. Thanks though I appreciate it! You’re really helpful. It must’ve been awesome being able to meet Millie Bobby brown.
step one: move to america
As an American actor, I can’t pretend I know exactly how it works in other countries. However, as I mentioned in the video, this is the process in every other film market. And Netflix does have a wealth of foreign content. The amount of shows I’ve watched from Australia, South Korea, and even that German show, Dark.
That is so cool! When I wanted to audition for season 5 in Stranger Things I literally texted an actor from the show....but now I understand why they didn't answer. I am not from the US but I am happy I found your video now
I learned more from your videos than anything else, well, really anywhere. Thanks so much. I've never watched Stranger Things, but I will.
This is an excellent video man. I’ve been waiting on this short film I acted in to finish and send me the footage for a year now, but I honestly should just start making my own clips now instead of waiting all this time.
Im so happy this helped!! And yes, not to freak you out, but there are many short films I did and even a decade later have never seen. It’s part of the learning process. I’m always a proponent on finding more ways to take some of the power back into your own hands. My goal is to eventually be at the point where I’m enjoying creating my own opportunities enough for outside opportunities to be a cherry on top instead of my identity. The more you start to make this a career, the easier it is to lose touch with the idea that you are more than your bookings.
@@TristanSpohnAKASpiderman haha yeah short films can certainly be unpredictable. I wish you the best of luck with your acting career and I will certainly keep up with your videos! You have a real knack for content creation :)
Your self-tapes all look really good. Could you maybe in the future make a video about your setup?
Thank you so much for this video! It was exactly what I needed to hear! I’ve been terrified to get started in the acting world because I didn’t know where to start. This gave me a much needed beam of inspiration and direction. Thank you for sharing your light with the world. Sending you sunshine! I hope all of your wildest dreams come true! 💫
Of course!! Thank you for watching!!! I’m happy to hear this has given you some direction!! That’s my entire goal with these videos and hopefully I can be a continued source of information! Sendin you all the best as well and wish the same!! Maybe we will see each other on set one day!
@@TristanSpohnAKASpiderman Thank you so much! 🥹🫶🏻💕 That would be so amazing! I can’t wait to see what you and your channel have in store! 🎬
You will succeed 🔥🔥🔥 keep grinding
Thank you!! 🎉 Just doing what I love and hopefully it leads to more of the same thing. ❤️
I want to be an actress so bad it hurts I love how your videos motivate me and ground me at the same time, even if I'm still a minor I'll do the best I can do now and I hope I get to achieve my dreams just like you one day
youre 002, you pissed me off so good job ❤😂
No way, you were in ST? I can’t believe i found this channel.
I am an actor here in Cebu and are about to shoot this thursday for an international film
I’m not an actor
I’m not interested in acting
I just like watching you because your voice is just so soothing 😊
Haha thanks for watching!! Back in high school, one of my girlfriends used to love falling asleep to my voice, so I would record little audio stories she could listen to when she went to sleep.
@@TristanSpohnAKASpidermancool
Let me just say you are a fantastic actor you played such a sinister character so well and you seem like such a chill guy that truly shows you're acting talent great video 😎👌
This was helpful thank you☆
I’m trying to become an actor and it’s really inspiring watching your videos
Yay that makes me so happy to hear! 🎉🎉
Wow what a great channel just subscribed 🎉
i wanna act so badly cos it looks fun and i could meet cool actors and stuff
Thank you so much! I actually really want to be an actor so this really helped! I don’t want to be an actor for fame, honestly that seems kind of scary to me😆 I just love acting and my dad is and actor and director and so is my mom so.. yeah😆
Yay I’m so happy this helped!! Loving acting is the best reason to go after it! 🎉🎉
thank you so much!!!
what if i want to direct??
I don’t wanna be rich and famous, is there a way to sustain a regular corporate job while acting professionally?
Thank for making a video about it , and considering my request on mail . I am now sur what I have to do . ❤❤
Very interesting, I've cast actors from Backstage a couple of times but not that often
Backstage is definitely a great resource; hopefully it didn’t come across like I was bashing it. But Actors Access will always be the premier platform and it’s important to know when it’s time to transition from Backstage to AA.
I agree completely 😄
Dope video! I learned a lot!
Yay thank you for watching! 🙏🙏
Love acting i even have a youtube channel and i do some acts
Tried auditioning for a commercial. They said I was good but started givin me all these charges I didn’t need. I just wanted something to be apart of cause it’s fun and I liked acting in highschool so I already had a passion for it. Buying an agent is hahaha. Like might as well save my money.
Yeah that’s a sign of a scam. You don’t buy an agent you partner with an agent. They take a % of what you book, they don’t charge you outside of that unless they’re a scam.
Can you make a video of how to get an agent without experience?
Yes we’re working on an agent video that will hopefully be the most in-depth one of the platform. 🎉
@@TristanSpohnAKASpiderman Thank You!
@@TristanSpohnAKASpiderman I second this, there is so much confusion on how to find an agent/ agency and I don’t have any idea where to start or look.
You sound like such an awesome dude
And I have a question if you could play a role in the Mcu what would you choose
Aww thank you!! Lol well my username is @TristanSpohnAKASpiderman so I would definitely say Spider-Man, although I also don’t see myself as being even close to as good as Tom Holland. Honestly, I would be thriving in some type of villain role. Maybe like a young Green Goblin.
What camera you using bro?
It’s so clean❤
I use a Canon R6 with an 85mm 1.2 USM 😀
You have a good personality, two!
Thank you!
Thank you for this video. Im hoping to casted in the new minecraft movie
One day you will have success, keep trying!!!! 🙏🏻
Thanks for the encouragement! I think everyone can have success now if they have the proper definition of it.
How do I go about getting an agent??
This was very helpful thank you and if you wouldn't mind trying to give me more information/help that would be wonderful but thank you for this video
You could pull off a real life android 17 or trunks with your hair style.
Your amazing!
Thank you so are you! 🙏
bro in india there are no casting agents there are casting directors who never look at the profile or intro or audio because they get so many messages,please give a guide how can i audition for hollywood roles staying in india and get an agent
I understand how that would feel frustrating, but honestly, I'm an American actor. It's hard for me to give specific advice for every country when I'm not part of their film industries. Most film industries behave similarly, but not identically. So there will be differences I just can't speak on because that's not where I found success. This is a rough guide that will help give most more clarity. But there's only so much insight I can give to something I just didn't experience.
I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Welcome! Thank you for watching from the Phillipines!
Hey thanks alot
Of course I hope this helps!
I live in Indonesia, i've installed Backstage and a bunch of other local movie casting app. Netflix is my ultimate dream (i've never done any acting job, or acting class or made any audition tapes ever). But my love for the movie and acting industry is just unexplainable and i've only made some dubbing from movies in my tiktok. Is that delusional of me to dream this high? :(
I can't really access the Backstage cos it's very limited to only US area, i check the available auditions daily but can't really sent any audition tapes bcs i'm too far. US is actually one of my favorite country to visit so i really hope to be able to go there soon and while i'm there i would send audition tapes as much of possible
You can start making some situations up and actually accordingly, record yourself and post yourself online 😊that will make you reach out to a wide audience and maybe somebody will discover you. So put yourself out there.
@@nabslifee thanks for the tips ☹️💜
Actually i've been wanting to be an actress/model since like 20yrs ago. But i grew up in a very small town that's still pretty primitive and not really familiar with film/actor industry those kinda stuff you know.
So i guess i've always wanted to but i kinda pressed it down bcs my education is more important.
But idk these past few months it's kinda all i can think abt and i think i'm still afraid to actually do it.
My desire for acting is really great but i still find it hard to take more serious step into it (that's why i only do it for fun like the dubbings).
And i will definitely start to make videos here on YT. I think this is the best platform for it, don't you think?
@@deborapakpahan1819 I can absolutely understand your struggle my friend. I also belong to a relatively small city where there aren't much options for acting . But trust me social media has helped me a great deal 😇I am sure it will help you too. Firstly you will have to find out the regional casting pages in your city or town or the nearest city where you can manage to travel if the need arises. And you're already into dubbing that's one of the best ways to actually get the initial recognition. And yes Instagram and RUclips is one of the best platforms to start putting out your talent. Please don't be afraid and put yourself out there and stay consistent 😇. There are going to be people who will spew hate for now reason , but do not let them demotimate you , just keep doing your work. Secondly side by side please do earn money and save as much as you can , that will help you move out to achieve your dreams further. At last please do not trust anybody random person who promises you a chance in acting, stay alert at all times , do your research. 👀. And always remember, your age doesn't define anything so never bring the age factor between you and your dreams . If God made you brave enough to dream about this field , he definitely made to brave enough to achieve it. See you on the big screen in future . All the best 🌻
how do you find an agent?
do u have to get an agent in ur area?
i have a zoom interview tomorrow with this agency called nine9 to be an extra in stranger things 5. looked them up and they sound very sketchy but i am delulu
Ooooooohhh heavy heavy heavy caution ⚠️ I’ve not heard good things about them at all. No matter what do not under any circumstances pay them money for representation.
@@TristanSpohnAKASpiderman damn. acting is not for me at all but i wanted to be a tiny part of my favorite show 😔 thanks for the warning
@@realRatRat I will mention, I believe in change, so this doesn't mean don't accept the meeting and hear them out. Just have your spidey senses on to make sure you don't get taken advantage of. Especially because I'm pretty sure you can publicly find Stranger Things Extras Casting on Actors Access or Backstage.
There are a bunch of actors that started out in reality TV.
do you ever get self conscious while acting? I’ve always thought I’d be a great actress but I can’t seem to get past the nerves/self consciousness of performing in front of people (I have a university degree in drama and have never gotten over this!)
Oh absolutely, but what I’ve learned is to embrace it and let it fuel into the character. Instead of trying to resist the nerves, celebrate them as fuel, or make them part of your interpretation of the character. When you resist them, you’re trying to force something to leave, which inherently can make a scene feel similarly forced.
I have two practical recommendations though as well. First, practice some breath work. What’s happening is your adrenaline is spiking, so taking deep breaths while focusing on the in and out flow will help you soothe some of that adrenaline to dilute some of its impact, for example, on shaky hands or a quivering voice.
You can also try to bring your scenes to a chair. Standing will naturally spike the energy of a scene, whereas sitting will naturally ground the scene. Of course, you don’t always have that luxury of choosing the blocking of the scene, but it at least gives you a tool to use while practicing to try to rechannel that grounded feeling.
It also helps to try to really just focus on the other person. Focus on how they’re feeling and if they’re responding in a way your character wants. By focusing on the other person in the scene, you’re less conscious about what you’re doing.
I hope these help!
@@TristanSpohnAKASpiderman Thanks for writing such a thoughtful response Tristan! These are very helpful tips, and it’s reassuring to know that working actors experience these issues too. I suppose that nerves also get lessened through exposure and practice, so it’s just getting over the first hurdle in many cases! Also, I just want to commend the quality of your videos - they look great and are very engaging to watch 😊
Hey! I have a quick question can I get a role if I have no experience? (Also I like your character in stranger things)
It depends on your metric of no experience. If it means no major TV or Film roles, of course, everyone starts somewhere. But I would say really prioritize learning the craft and at least get experience with creating characters and breaking down scripts. It usually takes time to get your craft to the point it’s at the level of being able to book work professionally.
@@TristanSpohnAKASpiderman Thank you for the advice keep up the good work ❤️
Did you need to have prior experience with acting to get an agent
Technically yes and no. You need to be GOOD. You don’t need major credits or experience but if you’ve never acted before, the last thing you should be worried about is an agent. Go to classes, learn the craft, find the character types you’re drawn to, get headshots demonstrating that character type, film a monologue demonstrating that character type, and then you’re ready to submit for local agents. If you hear nothing back, it’s a sign your materials aren’t good enough yet and you need to go back to the drawing board. Either you’re prioritizing the wrong strength or your footage doesn’t showcase your best work. And so you rinse and repeat until your work is too high quality for them to pass it up.
I live in Austria an I have 4 agents. Got no role yet.
Yeah it’s a patience game. It took me years before my first booking.
if i make a bunch of random clips of me doing monologues on the app backstage will an agent see it and want me
I would say that’s very unlikely. First, Backstage is not really where agents would go to look for talent. Second, it’s not about randomly making clips, but rather identifying your strengths, putting in work to develop those strengths, and putting together footage that then highlights them onto either Actors Access or Casting Networks. You can do a mix of a service called Talent Link and cold submits to agents.
Backstage is a great place to do that when you’re just starting out, and it’s important to know if you’re in the development phase or the monetization phase with your craft.
If you create footage and headshots that perfectly combine together into the best version of your craft and you don’t hear anything back from your submissions, it’s usually a sign you’re prematurely trying to leave the development phase and need to continue working to hone your craft or identify your strengths.
I hope this helps. ❤️
I love it ❤I wish but I can’t I’m deaf
Is actors acsess free?
Sort of? You can create a profile and upload two photos for free. But you will need either a membership to submit for projects or to pay I believe $5 for individual submissions. You also would pay $22/minute for performance video. So it’s not free to submit but free to create a profile
I wanted to become an actor when I was a child. But when I looked at the possibilities in germany I quickly gave up lol
Don’t, you can get an international agent. You might need to save up and move sure but please don’t give up!!!! Talent shouldn’t be wasted if you’ve got it!!!
@@LifeWitTheresa But I never acted in my life. It was always just a dream :/
@@Midaaas I advise that you learn on RUclips and make money to take some acting classes. It’s never to late. I advise that you also learn the American accent
I agree with @LifeWitTheresa and am grateful for them giving you words of encouragement! It depends on how much you love the craft. Jim Carrey has a beautiful speech about how his father was laid off at his safe job as an accountant. He failed at the safe route. Which made Jim realize he might as well try the thing he loved if not even the safe route is truly safe.
I’m in the process of developing some videos with some foreign actors to hopefully create some tangible steps for my beginning actors outside of the US that watch the videos to know where to look and how to start. I actually have a mentor I’m reaching out to who’s from Germany and has appeared on many popular shows. Hopefully whenever I am able to make that video actors like you can see more of the possibilities they may not fully see yet.
In terms of not having experience by the way, this is why the love of the craft matters so much. If you truly love the craft it’s easy to go out and learn. If you only love the idea of it, the competition is too stiff for you to be able to have a sustainable long-term motivation when it inevitably takes time to turn it into a career.
@@TristanSpohnAKASpiderman Thank you for the kind responses
I wanna be an actress sooo bad but my parents said its a horrible industry to work in :(
I think it’s a mixed bag. You have things like the Me Too movement and Quiet on Set finally setting a spotlight on the problematic underbelly in some parts of the industry. However, the hope is that it brings genuine change and makes the industry safer going forward.
I do think it’s an industry you need to be very careful in though, but specifically in making sure you hold the right mindset. It encourages narcissism and competition and self-consciousness. So making sure you don’t fall victim to it and stay invested in the craft side of things instead of the glamour side of things is extremely important.
I’ll say too, it’s really hard to navigate your relationship to attention. So it’s a tough industry but if you truly love the craft of it and surround yourself with genuinely good people that root for you the same you root for them, you can carve out your own safe space.
However, you also have to embrace that a lot of the success is out of your control, which as a control freak, was incredibly difficult to come to terms with.
Is it ever too late to start acting?
There are countless stories of actors that didn’t have their break until later in life; Harrison Ford, Ty Burrell, and George Clooney to just name a couple.
It certainly becomes harder the longer you wait, as your peers are able to get in thousands of hours of repetitions before you start. But if you stay diligent and try to start without the self-consciousness, you’ll be surprised by how quickly you can improve.
In many ways it starts by embracing the idea you may suck for a while at it when you’re learning. A lot of people let that fear delay them from becoming talented. I was a terrible actor for awhile before I found my groove, but that’s expected for every profession.
Unfortunately I can’t post videos with my face cause I don’t want my dad to know I have a channel
And that’s fair! I want to mention putting yourself out there doesn’t just mean posting things publicly. It can be something as simple as signing up for a casting service like Backstage. Filming a monologue with your phone to then put on the casting site and submit yourself to a few projects with it. It doesn’t need to be public on RUclips or Instagram or anything, just not being afraid to make yourself known as an actor. It can also be putting yourself out there in acting classes and trying out for community theatre performances. Little things that broaden your experience and get the momentum rolling.
@@TristanSpohnAKASpiderman Tysm for telling me
Hey bro big heart from india🫶
@ManuelBoza lol
What if we are from Ceoatia(Europe)🥲?
We don’t have agents…we need to find audition by ourselves on Facebook…
@@rebeccawand8098 This is a great question. Perhaps I can do some research and find some successful actors from Croatia for a video. I'm working on using my connections to create a video with actors from different countries to help provide guidance to my non-US actors that are watching my videos for advice. My instinct would be to find the country closest to you that has a film hub and research agencies there that could be willing to take on outside clients. Especially with how compact Europe seems to be.
how do u get an agent?
Working on an agent video, but I talk about this a little bit in my “How I Booked Stranger Things off One Audition Tape” video that you can check out in the meantime!
