Padfoot Lovato right now would be hard to find one because we are in a global pandemic. but i suggest looking online for agents that can get u work and roles
i’m not taking drama as a GCSE due to the fact that my teachers cannot teach us properly. so im just waiting out until im in college, and going to go for it. my inspiration is Andrew Lincoln!
I'm a teenager. I live in the UK and I want to be an actress. but I go to a normal school not a stage school. I have done a few performances at school. please can I have some more information on how I can become and actress?
Take every opportunity you can now to practice, hone and enjoy acting. So join acting classes and groups, take workshops (at the top drama schools in the holidays if you can), even at home in your bedroom. Take a scene, learn it, and film yourself with your phone then watch it back and do it again. Practice is everything. The more you do the better you will become, and the more you immerse yourself in and around people doing it the better. Get life experience as well - you need this to understand characters. Join acting groups on Facebook (just search acting in groups and join) chat to others and go to auditions. Get involved in student films and build up great footage for your reel. You can look for auditions on Mandy.com also. Once you have a great reel, some solid experience and a handful of pro jobs you can join Spotlight and you're off! If you can attend drama school at some point I highly recommend it. I hope that was useful and the very best of luck to you :)
How old are you? I 'm looking for a young female voice with a London accent, but some other British accent should also be fine. It's a small project so you won't get rich. Permission from your parents is needed and all that, I'm sure you know the drill.
Thank you for this. I have been working as a background actor for over 2 decades now as well as a couple of student films and features in movies but it still is not enough to be considered for spotlight but this initial knockback is only spurring me on to keep going. I will be taking the experience root because at 43 and being told at 24 while on a fine art degree that I should switch courses to performing arts that perhaps I didn't make the best long term decision but made the right decision at the time. Now I have quite a lot of life experience and industry experience to draw from that I know now this is what I wanted all along. I feel as if I have comic acting in me. Hugely inspired by the late great Robin Williams.
So you switched from fine art to performing arts? Or finished with a fine art degree? The reason I ask is because im a fine art student and my interest is really starting to hone into acting as of late.
Hi, I’m 14 and I live in the uk and love drama and acting because I feel a real connection to it and when I’m acting I just feel really happy but the only 2 problems are is I go to a high school and not a drama school and I’ve taken drama as one of my options of course and the second problem is I’m too shy, and I’ve only done one performance so far and it did go pretty well (well at least I thought so) and I don’t really have any experience at all but I love doing it so if you Could recommend me some advice that would help a lot and I know I’m young and I have more time but I would like to start acting young because I feel I can express myself more than I ever could
There are some open auditions not requiring experience. I would practice first, even if that's on your own in your bedroom. Film it, tweak it and keep going. This is all experience and will give you confidence and help build skills. Short films are a good place to start.
I did a drama school thing when I was really young but back then I didn’t want to be an actor so I left but I regret it cos now I don’t know where to start
I’m 14 years old and I’ve always loved acting. I have been to many drama schools on my life and now I’m currently at Pauline quirks academy of peforming arts. Is that enough experience for an agency to sign me and how to I move onto the next stage of getting auditions ?
I’m a teen in the uk and I am interested in a career in acting - however, as of right now, I have no experience and do not go to an acting school. I don’t know whether I should delay when I follow my goals however I will never be younger than I am now. Please let me know if you have ideas
i’m 15 and from the north west in the uk. i have had so many experiences with acting in my youth and now and i am aspiring to be an actress. however i’m in year 10 and i have GCSEs upcoming. i took Drama for GCSE and i am hoping to join one of the drama schools in the uk. is it too late to aspire for an actress or to apply for a drama school?
Hi Mimi, you apply for drama school as you would for another degree, if it's a degree you want to do. So you have plenty of time. If you're able to do a summer course at one of the leading drama schools it will help your experience and cv for joining at degree level. I'm from the North also and didn't end up going to drama school until my early 20's, so you've loads of time! :)
@Actors Anonymous UK Hi, you said in your video that only the leading drama schools in the UK lead on to spotlight. I was just wondering what those schools were specifically?
Would it be fine for me after college to go into a acting school as I’m already a year into my course? Ive just turned 17 and studying media in college and I need some help And guidance
Azza ™ I’m literally in your exact position, i wanna get into acting but i’m also a year into my media course, and i recently turned 17 too😶 I need help alsoooo
I did film and tv as a degree then went to drama school to do a masters, then began professional work. Practice as much as you can to build your skills, read acting books, watch actors you admire and ask what makes them great, see if you can get parts in student films or any open auditions for professional work... there's lots you can be doing now :)
I’m on starnow so it finds you agents and auditions because I went to stagecoach for a year when I was 10 I’m 13 now and I can’t go to anymore schools cause they are so expensive
Hi Ruby, I would have a look on Mandy.com for roles. Please be careful of agents that come via starnow and don't ever pay anything up front. Schools are very expensive yes. You can get scholarships and the part time courses are much more accessible cost wise.
I got into one with Christopher maloni but I left and now I’m realising how much I regret it as the idea of acting has only started growing in my head now I’m so upset :( but I did go for about a month so I guess I do have some experience
I’m turning 23 this year, I’ve been thinking about acting for quite long time already, but couldn’t go to drama school because of modeling job I do and did. I used to travel a lot so I couldn’t even find a teacher, as I wasn’t based at any country. And now I’m planning to move to United Kingdom, I wonder what is the best thing for me to start from? I’m afraid to loose even more time with drama school because of my age, I think I could study for a year and then try to find an agent… so complicated, what would you suggest to do?
I’m 13 and I live in the uk . I’m doing drama for gcse and I would love to find auditions that I can attend and actually get somewhere in acting . I done stagecoach for four years . Is there anything else I can do?
I’m in year 9 right now and I want to be an actor. I’m not one of the kids who want to go straight to stranger things, I want to start in short films, feature films and student films as extras or small parts before I go for main roles. I don’t have any experience and I’ve missed the school musical auditions but I’m taking drama for GCSE in year 10+ does that count as some experience?
Hi Tarnia, anything where you are able to practice and hone your craft is good experience. If you want to go do drama school then doing these drama courses now will help you get to that stage also. If you're able to sign up and do extra work now, as well as get involved in student films and shorts (try Mandy.com) then all these things are going to help you gain the knowledge, confidence and experience and open you up to new things. I'd say do as much as you can, test things and see what you like - maybe you prefer comedy acting over Shakespeare for example. Have a great Christmas.
Enjoyed this insight into acting very much , and the presenter truly delightful. So now my question, can a mechanic who was for 27 years a true slave in the cave, remove his darkness and become all that has been hidden....
Thank you Kieron. If you're near to the leading drama schools, try to go to their workshops. They all do workshops for every level and not only will you guarantee that you'll have one of the best teachers, but moving upwards to other courses within the school should be easier too because you have that connection. Otherwise, for anywhere else, please check the teacher out and see what their experience is. They should be able to provide you with information or just check them out on line.
From what I've read Mandy.com used to be good but then they started charging you sending you lots of emails you can't stop for things unsuited to you or the area you live in. Apparently it's become a sort of a scam unfortunately looking at reviews online. It's a shame because apparently it used to be good. You also can't delete your profile once you've made it also apparently.
I'm a teenager in the UK 16 and in West Yorkshire do u have any tips because In school and at GCSE I shined through in drama classes where do I take it next? Maybe a drama school?
Hello, I don't know if you still reply, but my daughter is taking Drama GCSE (predicted grade is 9), however it was not what she expected (she didn't like it very much). She is now applying for sixth form and is not sure whether to take Drama A level or Media. She's interested in post production, editing and creating short films (behind the scenes), but is not sure if it would help with her pursuing an acting career. And she really enjoys drama in general, but she's afraid A level Drama will be like drama GCSE. Is there any advice you would give her about choosing between these options to progress her acting career?
I need somebody’s advice. I’m a thirteen year old girl in England and I want to find an agent. My family don’t have a lot of money so I don’t know if it’s possible. Any help?
Hey, how come you want to find an agent so young? Do you already have a lot of practice? Are there any local drama school you can join? Here's one idea - you could find other young actors who are a similar age and have an agent, then find their agents. You might find some agencies specialising in younger actors that way. Can you shoot some scenes on a phone and put a little reel together, just a couple of minutes, then approach the agents with that. Please do ask for your parents help with this. You can search actors and agents under spotlight.com/search
Actors Anonymous UK thanks for the advice! I do a drama group that’s outside of school, and I want to start acting young because that’s what I want to do, along with singing. I also found auditions for Disney channel that I may be doing once lockdown is ended, so that’s good :D
@@padfootlovato2422 It's great that you feel that strongly about acting so young :) Well done on finding the Disney audition. Twitter is a great place to find open auditions and connect with people, but please do be careful and stay safe. Warm wishes.
I am 16 year old living in London. I done drama gcse and got a level 7 (A). I’m doing drama a levels and hopefully will go onto to study drama at university level. I directed the nativity play in my schools theatre company and I will be applying for drama work experience. Is that enough experience to become a professional actress?
Hi there, everything is good experience, and i know that you need either these qualifications or lots of experience to get to the next level in education, so for drama school or your degree. So yes, all good! Are you applying for drama schools too? Ideally you want to attend one of the drama schools listed within the Federation of Drama Schools www.federationofdramaschools.co.uk/about-us/partner-schools and check if the course allows you Equity and Spotlight membership upon graduation. Well done for your progress so far!
Hi Daniel, did you go through an accredited drama school so that you can get graduate membership for Spotlight? If not and you need some credits, mandy.com is a good place to start so that you can apply for paid professional work on your own, though yes it does cost. There's a lot of Facebook groups now that you can join where paid jobs are posted, just search in groups under acting and auditions and they'll pop up. Twitter is actually a good place too - follow as many casting directors as you can and keep an eye on their posts - see the Casting Directors Guild website for a list of the good casting directors. Have you been contacting agents via email already? Start with Contacts and look through the agents individually to see who's websites look solid. Feel free to drop me an email at ask@actors-anonymous.com and i'd be happy to see where i can advise further. Best of luck.
I would class myself as a borderline introvert. Some of the greatest actors are shy. You just have to find ways to overcome it when it comes to your auditions and acting. Believe in yourself and your abilities 👊🏼
Brilliant video. Would you be able to give me some advice please? I'm a 26 year old, NHS practioner who is looking for a career change. I don't have any experiance other than stuff i did at high school. I am currently taking acting classes that I absolutly love. The dream is to be part of a musical ensemble. I have no interest in being on tv or in movies or even a lead role. I just want to work as part of a team, supporting the music and developing "school girl 2". My town has alot of casting calls for student films and smaller productions however, I am worried about auditioning for them. How should I progress from my acting classes? Should I just bite the bullet and apply and see what i get? or will it look odd if I apply without an agent or real experiance?
Hi Dannie, thanks for getting in touch. That's the best reason to be acting :) Just for the love of it. Keep taking classes and apply for anything that comes up. Look at your local theatres and amateur theatre groups to see what they're doing. You have nothing to lose and if you look at auditions as something you can use for practice and actually enjoy the process, then there's no reason not to go for it! You probably wont come across anything where they specifically want actors from agents as those jobs are listed in Spotlight. Jump in and go for it.
I go to normal school but I do a musical theatre group I love musical theatre but I love just acting more I really need some help to find out where I can become more professional
Hi Taylor, I would recommend taking courses at the leading drama schools. Even an evening or weekend class is a great start. Depending on where you're based? See the Federation of Drama schools website for a list of the top schools in the UK. Also, have a look at Mandy.com where you can find auditions. Just get involved in what you can, short films, student films, course, and take it from there.
Hi I’m only 14 and I really want to get my name out there I have applied for some roles and I’ve never had a reply I really want to start getting involved in more I’m in a normal secondary school and always do the school shows. I want to get as good and successful as Asher angel and hopefully one day work with him. Well that’s the dream 🙂
Hi Joe, keep at it. Keep practicing and keep applying. Part of being an actor is dealing with not getting roles and just keeping going! The reasons you dont get roles are 99% of the time nothing to do with you and your performance. If you're near a leading drama school check out there courses or do a summer course. Study other actors and what they've done. Keep practicing and doing it for the love of it :)
As a 16 Year Old, The advice I can give is, Chose Drama GCSE (You don't have to don't worry, I didn't, I hope that works the same in Scotland, Sorry if its a different system) or in college, Do drama Or Performing Arts (Also don't have to But It helps, Alot) , That helps understand the industry. Other than that, Read scripts, Perform the scripts in front of people with friends. If you have a favorite movie, remake the scenes as your favorite character. Build up confidence with performing, Sure this one's harder but it honestly helps so much. Finally, if there's any performances at school, Audition for them, If you get a role Brilliant! I'm sure you will! If you don't get a major role, that's okay too, It'll still help you build up your skills and confidence. Hope that helps! And Best Of Luck to you!
Hi Kaitlyn, are you taking drama at school? What type of acting do you enjoy the most - theatre or screen, or perhaps both? Let me know what experience you have and what you would like to do and i think of some ideas for you.
@@liljayt3281 I would look at other actors around your age who are doing the type of work that you want to and find out who their agents are. You should be able to find them on spotlight via www.spotlight.com/search
Hi I’m 13 year old living in England and Im taking drama as a JCSC and my grade is all ready a 4A when it should be a 2 (that’s normal grade for my age) I’m going to collage after school to do drama could I get an agent while being in collage?
Hi Rhys, it's possible although most agents are looking at students coming out of drama school from a degree or masters. If you have professional experience already and have a reel or are in a show you could invite an agent too then it's possible.
There's no straight answer for that i'm afraid. It'll depend on your experience and when you're ready for it. You can only gain access to Spotlight with either experience or on graduating from one of the leading schools. Best of luck
Yes, depending on how you use it. RUclips is a platform to show case yourself. Many actors have their own channels or they get involved with youtube drama series that others are making
@@ActorsAnonymousUK thank you so much for the reply, I've done the subscription to your channel and I am waiting for other interesting content like this :) Channels like your are truly inspirational for aspiring actors 😁👊
i’m 14 from cheshire uk and don’t hav the money for an agent how am i supposed to get into acting. i’m always practicing in my room but that’s the only experience i can afford :((((
If an agent wants you to pay then it’s a scam. The only thing you should pay for are classes so make sure to find an agent online that isn’t sketchy and won’t make you pay :)
It's never too late to start. In fact the older you get the less competition you have! It all depends on what acting you want to do though. We can all take courses and enjoy acting at any time :) You will need to gain professional experience for professional work. There are roles for every type of person now - our stories and characters are becoming much more real and diverse.
@@ActorsAnonymousUK ,oh thank you for an answer. The problem is I want to move to the UK and become a student and start my career there as I have affection for English culture and language even it sounds unrealistic. I just want to give it a try. But here in the non-EU country I don't know where to start, whom to work with to prepare for studies there. Have you got any online program or something?
@@ayjo4360 we have a Foundation Academy which we're putting up on our new website and will be available very soon. I'll drop you a note when its ready. You can also join our mailing list for info via our website homepage www.actors-anonymous.com. Do what you can where you are for now to practice and build your skills. Be sure its' something you definitely want to pursue and for the right reasons, as it can be tough. Brilliant too! There's loads more videos on our RUclips channel that can help. Keep in touch.
We take all comments on board, but that's a shame you've not watched the whole video to be able to comment on this properly. Our motto is honesty and positivity. One of the reasons we do this is to provide a transparent, experienced, and VERY honest view of the acting industry and support newcomers as much as we can.

That's interesting. We haven't heard that as yet but will keep an ear out as they have been good for many years now. Would be a shame if so. Thanks AR

i’m 14 and desperately want to get into acting but i don’t even have any experience and don’t know got to get any😞
I'm a teenager in the UK 16 and in West Yorkshire do u have any tips because In school and at GCSE I shined through in drama classes where do I take it next? Maybe a drama school?
Hello, I don't know if you still reply, but my daughter is taking Drama GCSE (predicted grade is 9), however it was not what she expected (she didn't like it very much). She is now applying for sixth form and is not sure whether to take Drama A level or Media.
She's interested in post production, editing and creating short films (behind the scenes), but is not sure if it would help with her pursuing an acting career. And she really enjoys drama in general, but she's afraid A level Drama will be like drama GCSE. Is there any advice you would give her about choosing between these options to progress her acting career?
I need somebody’s advice. I’m a thirteen year old girl in England and I want to find an agent. My family don’t have a lot of money so I don’t know if it’s possible. Any help?
Hey, how come you want to find an agent so young? Do you already have a lot of practice? Are there any local drama school you can join? Here's one idea - you could find other young actors who are a similar age and have an agent, then find their agents. You might find some agencies specialising in younger actors that way. Can you shoot some scenes on a phone and put a little reel together, just a couple of minutes, then approach the agents with that. Please do ask for your parents help with this. You can search actors and agents under spotlight.com/search
Actors Anonymous UK thanks for the advice! I do a drama group that’s outside of school, and I want to start acting young because that’s what I want to do, along with singing. I also found auditions for Disney channel that I may be doing once lockdown is ended, so that’s good :D
@@padfootlovato2422 It's great that you feel that strongly about acting so young :) Well done on finding the Disney audition. Twitter is a great place to find open auditions and connect with people, but please do be careful and stay safe. Warm wishes.
hey where did u find the disney auditions?
I am 16 year old living in London. I done drama gcse and got a level 7 (A). I’m doing drama a levels and hopefully will go onto to study drama at university level. I directed the nativity play in my schools theatre company and I will be applying for drama work experience. Is that enough experience to become a professional actress?
A 7 in the uk is a high b not an a
Hi there, everything is good experience, and i know that you need either these qualifications or lots of experience to get to the next level in education, so for drama school or your degree. So yes, all good! Are you applying for drama schools too? Ideally you want to attend one of the drama schools listed within the Federation of Drama Schools www.federationofdramaschools.co.uk/about-us/partner-schools and check if the course allows you Equity and Spotlight membership upon graduation. Well done for your progress so far!
How old do you have to be, to be an actress? I’m 10 and can’t go to drama school and has been Juda’s in a Year 4 play. So what should I do?
ive done dramam school and had experince just cant work out stage 2 without having to pay for stuff plz help
Hi Daniel, did you go through an accredited drama school so that you can get graduate membership for Spotlight? If not and you need some credits, mandy.com is a good place to start so that you can apply for paid professional work on your own, though yes it does cost. There's a lot of Facebook groups now that you can join where paid jobs are posted, just search in groups under acting and auditions and they'll pop up. Twitter is actually a good place too - follow as many casting directors as you can and keep an eye on their posts - see the Casting Directors Guild website for a list of the good casting directors. Have you been contacting agents via email already? Start with Contacts and look through the agents individually to see who's websites look solid. Feel free to drop me an email at ask@actors-anonymous.com and i'd be happy to see where i can advise further. Best of luck.
Is it possible to do acting/drama after secondary school without doing drama as your gcse
What if you don’t go to an acting school and my yr6 show has been cancelled so....🥺
Does performing arts gcse in school counts?
Is a level drama any good? I was thinking of taking it along with film studies and graphic design
It's a stepping stone onto the next thing and good practice for sure. That will help you into a drama degree or drama school
I played the main role in a school play about 8 years ago, does that count as experience 😂
How do you get into acting if you are really shy 🤔😔🙁
I would class myself as a borderline introvert. Some of the greatest actors are shy. You just have to find ways to overcome it when it comes to your auditions and acting. Believe in yourself and your abilities 👊🏼
Actors Anonymous UK thank you 🤗
Brilliant video. Would you be able to give me some advice please? I'm a 26 year old, NHS practioner who is looking for a career change. I don't have any experiance other than stuff i did at high school. I am currently taking acting classes that I absolutly love.
The dream is to be part of a musical ensemble. I have no interest in being on tv or in movies or even a lead role. I just want to work as part of a team, supporting the music and developing "school girl 2".
My town has alot of casting calls for student films and smaller productions however, I am worried about auditioning for them. How should I progress from my acting classes? Should I just bite the bullet and apply and see what i get? or will it look odd if I apply without an agent or real experiance?
Hi Dannie, thanks for getting in touch. That's the best reason to be acting :) Just for the love of it. Keep taking classes and apply for anything that comes up. Look at your local theatres and amateur theatre groups to see what they're doing. You have nothing to lose and if you look at auditions as something you can use for practice and actually enjoy the process, then there's no reason not to go for it! You probably wont come across anything where they specifically want actors from agents as those jobs are listed in Spotlight. Jump in and go for it.
@@ActorsAnonymousUK Thanks so much for your reply, it's really helpful. I can't wait delve deeper into this career :D
Is taking GCSE Drama count as experience?
I go to normal school but I do a musical theatre group I love musical theatre but I love just acting more I really need some help to find out where I can become more professional
Hi Taylor, I would recommend taking courses at the leading drama schools. Even an evening or weekend class is a great start. Depending on where you're based? See the Federation of Drama schools website for a list of the top schools in the UK. Also, have a look at Mandy.com where you can find auditions. Just get involved in what you can, short films, student films, course, and take it from there.
Actors Anonymous UK do I have to be a certain age for that?
@@jadebrundle8214 They have course for different ages
Actors Anonymous UK thanks for you’re help!
Hi I’m only 14 and I really want to get my name out there I have applied for some roles and I’ve never had a reply I really want to start getting involved in more I’m in a normal secondary school and always do the school shows. I want to get as good and successful as Asher angel and hopefully one day work with him. Well that’s the dream 🙂
Hi Joe, keep at it. Keep practicing and keep applying. Part of being an actor is dealing with not getting roles and just keeping going! The reasons you dont get roles are 99% of the time nothing to do with you and your performance. If you're near a leading drama school check out there courses or do a summer course. Study other actors and what they've done. Keep practicing and doing it for the love of it :)
Im 11 and I live in Scotland and its my dream to become an actress and entertain people but I have no experience at all any tips that might help?
As a 16 Year Old, The advice I can give is, Chose Drama GCSE (You don't have to don't worry, I didn't, I hope that works the same in Scotland, Sorry if its a different system) or in college, Do drama Or Performing Arts (Also don't have to But It helps, Alot) , That helps understand the industry. Other than that, Read scripts, Perform the scripts in front of people with friends. If you have a favorite movie, remake the scenes as your favorite character. Build up confidence with performing, Sure this one's harder but it honestly helps so much. Finally, if there's any performances at school, Audition for them, If you get a role Brilliant! I'm sure you will! If you don't get a major role, that's okay too, It'll still help you build up your skills and confidence. Hope that helps! And Best Of Luck to you!
Madam i want to become an actor in uk. Please can you help me to become an actor
Hi, I'm 13 and I want to try and get some auditions, but I dont know where to look. Do you have any tips?
Hi Kaitlyn, are you taking drama at school? What type of acting do you enjoy the most - theatre or screen, or perhaps both? Let me know what experience you have and what you would like to do and i think of some ideas for you.
Actors Anonymous UK I’m 13 and I’m trying to get on agencies
@@liljayt3281 I would look at other actors around your age who are doing the type of work that you want to and find out who their agents are. You should be able to find them on spotlight via www.spotlight.com/search
Hi I’m 13 year old living in England and Im taking drama as a JCSC and my grade is all ready a 4A when it should be a 2 (that’s normal grade for my age) I’m going to collage after school to do drama could I get an agent while being in collage?
Hi Rhys, it's possible although most agents are looking at students coming out of drama school from a degree or masters. If you have professional experience already and have a reel or are in a show you could invite an agent too then it's possible.
What it the best age for stage 2?
There's no straight answer for that i'm afraid. It'll depend on your experience and when you're ready for it. You can only gain access to Spotlight with either experience or on graduating from one of the leading schools. Best of luck
Could RUclips count as experience?
Yes, depending on how you use it. RUclips is a platform to show case yourself. Many actors have their own channels or they get involved with youtube drama series that others are making
@@ActorsAnonymousUK thank you so much for the reply, I've done the subscription to your channel and I am waiting for other interesting content like this :) Channels like your are truly inspirational for aspiring actors 😁👊
i’m 14 from cheshire uk and don’t hav the money for an agent how am i supposed to get into acting. i’m always practicing in my room but that’s the only experience i can afford :((((
Your mum or dad or anyone in your family can be your agent and you won't have to pay them
If an agent wants you to pay then it’s a scam. The only thing you should pay for are classes so make sure to find an agent online that isn’t sketchy and won’t make you pay :)
Is it late to start acting career at 30 in the UK without previous experience and non-UK and non- EU citizen?
It's never too late to start. In fact the older you get the less competition you have! It all depends on what acting you want to do though. We can all take courses and enjoy acting at any time :) You will need to gain professional experience for professional work. There are roles for every type of person now - our stories and characters are becoming much more real and diverse.
@@ActorsAnonymousUK ,oh thank you for an answer. The problem is I want to move to the UK and become a student and start my career there as I have affection for English culture and language even it sounds unrealistic. I just want to give it a try. But here in the non-EU country I don't know where to start, whom to work with to prepare for studies there. Have you got any online program or something?

Being negative from your opening line is not helpful. Discouraging and unhelpful. Stopped after 10 seconds
