    I agree, about being stuck, not only for an artist, but a human in general should evolve over time.

    OMG...Forget about acting. This is the greatest LIFE LESSON I've ever heard in the form of TOUGH LOVE, which is needed in order to WAKE UP and do something that will MAKE YOU HAPPY in life because LIFE IS TOO SHORT. Just THANK YOU, Wendy! :)

    Guys take it from me. I started acting at 18 naively thinking I can make it straight to the top from nothing. I didn’t book anything for 4 years and felt discouraged but I put my head down and kept working. As of last week I finally booked my first role and it is a series reoccurring! Thanks for your tips and encouragement along the way with your videos Wendy! And to all my other fellow actors, keep dreaming and work hard!

    “The more you take action and face the fear, the less powerful the fear becomes… Because everything you want, everything you dream of, is on the other side of your fear… Everything” Wow Wendy… thank you for this… I needed to hear that

    There is no doubt in my mind, because, becoming an actor is one of my dreams, so I'm watching your videos, in order to get myself prepared for the big league! Even though I'm new to this, I'm here to learn the game! Your advice is really needed and it's really helpful! Thank you! 😊

    I started acting as a side hobby at 31 because I needed something fun just for me. It quickly became my passion. I've been taking classes for 10 months. Been with an agent for 3 months. Been in a couple of things. REALLY REALLY appreciate your videos, Wendy. In my eyes, you've supported me and my dreams and helped me to keep going when I wonder if I'm too old or too different looking or not good enough. Thank you so much 🥰

      I want to start going to classes, but I'm afraid that people will make fun of me. I’m 20 years old and I’m not conventionally attractive (I look average with makeup on)
      I feel like I won't fit in with the rest.

    It’s killing me not being able to get out there yet. It’s exactly how I feel when you say stuck! I’m currently at home a year longer than anticipated. Saving enough to live in LA for at least a year (without work), so I can finally devote every day to my future and passion starting in January. Love you for everything you do! My fire can’t be extinguished, though I’m always grateful for the fuel and guidance your videos provide.

    Wendy, you’ve been such a blessing in my acting life🙏🏾. I’m a South African actor who’s been getting cast in commercials (two that are out, and two callbacks this year😁) a-lot lately. I first came to your channel a few years ago, and you’ve helped me so much in how to prepare for auditions, and being a better actor. You’re so amazing, and thank you for believing in strangers and pushing them to better themselves❤️. You’re one of a kind ✨✨✨.

    I am, I do , I can! My daily mantra. Carried around a box and a homemade microphone at the age of 4 and stood on top and said Now ladies & gentlemen. First play in 3rd grade. ONLY thing I’ve EVER wanted to do is entertain! We all get discouraged and fearful. The key is to not let it win! You can change your direction…you have to adjust the sails ⛵️
    TY Miss Wendy for the pep talk.

    Some people listen to music when working out, I listen to Wendy. Damn she’s motivating! When she said the dad beating you as a child part, damn that hit. I used to hate my dad for that, but now I’m grateful because he taught me what NOT to do and now as a new actor it helped my emotions to live right under the surface giving me easy access to them. Love these videos Wendy!

    I am brand new to this whole acting scene. I’ve always wanted to try to do acting in some way. But I was either to scared or just thought that I wouldn’t ever be good enough. But seeing your videos motivated me to take that step into doing my research and taking my first steps into the acting world. So thank you so much for all you do. And for motivating people like me.

    one thing I learned is: if being in great physical shape really boosts confidence, all actors should have gym membership or if you can hire a fitness trainer to give you a program to train yourself, also be sure you have medical ins. somehow, see a dentist twice a yr. -- stay on top of your health all the time -- being fit and healthy is the only way to survive the rigors of this career

I hope one day I could come to USA and meet with You to say "Thank You!" for those words. You really know what You are talking about and have amazing understanding of acting business. It's like You can read people from just looking in their face. Thank You so much for spending time for people like us. People who have some fire burning inside but don't know to start this path.

    Hi Wendy I wanted to thank you for this video. I'm 19 and I just started out acting. I only started now because I was too afraid, but I am finally doing it. The past couple of days have been hard because just starting out can be very overwhelming. I live in the Netherlands and there just aren't enough resources and most casting acency's here want people with experience. It just all became a little discoursing, but video makes me very motivated. Thank you!

I am a member of the Hollywood Winner Circle. I still process (as I take real studio Cold Reading, Scene Study , and Improv classes). But you have done a superlative job. I'll touch base with you, hopefully, in a few weeks/months and fill you in as well as attend your LIVE STREAM speeches from Industry Executives which is invaluable.
