I really want to be a actor from I could talk ,so I start to participate in class active like school show an alway try to do my best even when am scared an I want to set a example of young People like me..
Thank you for your advice, could you please suggest where I could find scripts without copyright issues to learn some parts from it and post it on social media?
Is it theoretically possible to pursue an acting career while pursuing a college degree or music career or etc.
lots of actors want to know WHAT is your name? it does not seem to be listed/ posted on your videos?
@@owen397 what are you talking about? I say my name in almost every single video
Im gonna give my guy Kurt SOOO much credit during my Oscar speech🤣🤣🤣
same LOL
Lmao right?! 🤣🤣
Facts lol
Lmaooo same 😎
We are waiting for you 🤓🤚🏼
I love you kurt, and you will see me on set one day. I know it!
How u get 115M views😂
You will see me on Netflix one day, I'll make it happen.
You know I was always scared to start and felt too old, I’m 20 now and wish I did start before. But I watched Kurt and took all his advice, took extra roles and now have a day player role in an upcoming show, signed up for acting school and I think I’ll audition for a better school in California. I just wanna say thank you so so much Kurt!
Congratulations! That's amazing! Keep it up :)
Look into Playhouse West! You won't regret it! I'm not going to tell you why! You'll find out!
Congrats dude! 🌟🎉
thank you for the help 🙏 me and scared now it's over 😅😂😂🤣
Why are you making me feel like I'm too old for acting? 😅 I just turned 20
People had told me the competition for being an actor is too big. But I know myself well, being an actor is what I love and I will keep working towards it.
time will tell, won't it? good luck
@@ADifferentVibe Thank you. May you be blessed.
I was laying around doing nothing so ima take this as a sign to get my life together 🤪✍️
me too😭
Me too
I took a break from pursing an acting career because I joined the army. But I've been watching Kurt's videos the whole time. I'm excited to say it's time to pick up where I left off. IMHO, theatre acting is extremely fun, rewarding and magical.
Look into an organization called VME if you haven't already joined (Veterans in Media and Entertainment).
Pausing the video to say congrats on working on a Netflix show!!!
Happy to see you are back Mr Yue and thank you for the new video helps a lot
Great video Kurt! Keep it up. Really helped, looking forward to your next one😎
I started binge watching your videos 2 weeks ago 😁 so glad to see you upload today! I watched your memorization video and 2 weeks later I still remember the line " a few weeks ago I was in London for work" I wish I had that letter technique before! Especially for high school and college exams
Great and informative video Kurt, as always! Thank you for your work!
Been waiting for this one 😎
Thanks for the hard work you put into this channel. I'm beginning my career and your videos have been huge. Much love.
I am so happy I found your channel;!
Thank you for creating these videos and sharing your insights!
Just started binging your channel haha absolutely love it and am learning a lot. I am from Columbus Ohio and hearing you are from Cleveland really helps me relate to you, and try to envision your experiences with how they can relate with my journey. Man I wish I could just pick your brain all day. You the man
Kurt you’re seriously the best ! I’ve seen you in several movies and these tips will help so many people ! Thank you for this
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Amazing information thanks so much I can’t wait to implement this in my work 🙏🏽😊
This WAS helpful!
Thank you 🌸
Thank u Kurt, your videos are helping me improve on my acting skills 💕
Wow oh wow! I just learned so much under 20 minutes! I love your videos. Thank you for educating and giving so much information on this subject. You’re such an amazing teacher on these videos.
Very informative! Thank you 🙏🏼
I got to step up a Zoom call with this guy at one point. His videos and knowledge have been extremely helpful.
Thank you for this Kurt! Hope you are well:)
look who is back🙌
Thank you for providing these tips. Seems like simple suggestions but they can easily forgotten or not thought of when you have your mind set on just one aspect of acting!
Your videos have helped me so much Kurt! I started acting classes in January and just yesterday I signed on with an agency!!! I’m so excited to start acting as a career! ❤️❤️
Thats awesome!!!!!!!!
Yoooo thats awesome!
Excellent! Congratulations!
YESS!!
that’s awesome!!!
First love your videos by the way. Your my "coach" now.
Got around to watching Tag and when Dr. Yuen popped up, I knew it was you. I watched a lot of your videos recently and you have certainly made an impact and become one of those noticable faces when I watch movies now
I have learnt more from you than from the three years in drama school. Indeed, theatre is the apprenticeship for film and TV.
I was a model back in the day and a lot... a lot of what your sharing translates well for models too. Especially for commercial work work. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌
Hey Kurt, I'm trying to get started in commercials. Thank you that advice was great. I had an audition today and I know I need more experience.
Literally this is very helpful jus wanna take a chance on it❤❤❤ every video of him i watch is more impressive and teaches me a thin or 2
Thank you so much. Your videos are really helpfull
Hello, new subscriber, I am thinking about starting a career in acting. I really appreciate your video. You do provide what I feel to be very helpful information. Thank you.
You should make a video about how to get confidence when acting and like how not to be shy because I have been struggling with those two things
Yes! I'm like the shiest girl in town!
Have you taken acting classes? I think getting into a class can definitely help overcome stage fright and nerves.
@@ActingCareerCenter I have not taken acting classes because I am not in the USA I need to apply for a visa when I am 21 or older to get to the USA should not be to long I am 19 years old now
@@ActingCareerCenter I haven't because most are pretty expensive
The best way to build confidence is to do things you're not sure you can do. The best way to get over shyness is to become an actor - just do it. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Soon enough you'll be the one answering peoples questions about how to overcome shyness. I guarantee it. You can't even answer that question unless you've BEEN the shy one who overcame it.
Don't make excuses, take a class. The difference between winners and losers is that winners will find a solution to every problem and losers will find a problem with every solution. If you REALLY want something, you'll find a way. If you don't really want it - you'll find an excuse.
Kurt just gave you the solution - don't be a loser.
Take a class.
BTW, Playhouse West in Los Angeles only costs $225 per month.
PW is one of the best schools in Los Angeles (started by Jeff Goldblum)
If you can't afford THAT - you're just making excuses.
A job at McDonalds pays $3,482 per month.
Stop making excuses.
THIS was a very helpful video. Thank you!
Hi I'm hoping to learn more about acting because I decided that one day I would love to act! I'm 13, almost 14 and I love acting. I want to learn more about acting and make sure this is what I really want to do before I start pursuing it. Learning how and what it takes to be an actress will help me with it. Your videos are very helpful and have helped me learn how to be a better actress!
I can fill my chest up with confidence and take the decision of gettin' into an actin' career only by watching the videos of Kurt....even though I'm from india.He's so motivational and helpful..... Hope one day we get to see him in almost every stage and programs...
Love 48 Hour Film Project!
Thank you for this
great advice...
Thank you!!
I can't wait to work with you one day!
I made mention of you at my callback today. ❤
I had the chance to audition for something from marvel like a month ago with barely any experience on my resume. I didn’t get the role though and i thought my audition was pretty good. Definitely need to build my resume up, im brand new to this acting industry
Kurt you are the man 😊👍✌️
Thank you!
Just THANKS
I'm big fan from egypt ... I'm 28 and i became so proud of myself because of this video ... Because i found my self already did all of this tips science 2010 ... And I studied at the higher institute for dramatic arts department (acting and directing) ... Thank u for that inspiration... Thank because i was very disappointed but this video made me so proud and show me how many steps I already walked in my career ... My best wishes ✋❤️❤️❤️
I luv your vids
Shout out Kurt.. we all know the Less we see of u .. the better..its a good thing.. I cant wait to see your year end audition analysis.. your % gonna be looking great 👍
I like you and I like your channel and it's so awesome.
Tysm!
Thanks mate
Omg have u been my whole life 🎥
Started watchin this guy 2 days ago with no motivation. Now, I wanna work as hard as possible to be able to play in a film with Jenna Ortega, my idol. Thank you, Kurt. Ur the goat🐐
I'm 28 and I always second guess myself thinking that I'm starting way too late to get into acting despite having a love for it for so long but I'm learning so much from your videos. I have no theater experience but I definitely want to take classes and see what happens. Thanks for making these videos!
Morgan Freeman was 43 years old when he landed his VERY FIRST role.
...He was near 50, I believe, when he went Shawshank on our asses.
Don't forget that.
(*also-and you can look this up-there are many, MANY actors who don't get a part (*or even try for one) until it's later than they'd like.
Boo hoo! You're still ALIVE, aren't you?! Then either take the step, or don't! Except DO!

Decide, now-each of you. Do, or do not. . .
Thank you so much for the good video. Could you add the automatic subtitle setting function for other countries? :)
Can you make a video about where to look while acting please ?
Hey Kurt how about you start making podcast, I would love listening to you while working out in the gym. I listened to one guy name actor CEO and he’s good too but you’ll be way better.
Nice
Hi Kurt! Thank you for your videos and inspiration! I live in Atlanta too btw;) What do you think about NY casting website for acting opportunities? And where I can share my own films and screenplays?
I didn’t think school plays really count! That’s great since every grade my class had a play.
i'm planning to recreate scenes from famous movies,edit it to look cinematic,and post it on my insta reels and youtube shorts and use the right tags so that more people view them...hopefully by the end of the next 3-4yrs,i'll have a big following and an agent or a movie director or a casting director sees it and considers
I got my first experiencia as an extra like Jackie chan and danny trejo and later finally got my first acting for a short film it is a good start
Hi, I'm an actress, I'm 13 years old and I am auditioning for a Netflix movie. Wish me luck!!!
Love your videos
Talent is what you need to succeed in this business - not luck. That's why actors never say "Good luck" to each other - it implies that the only way you're going to succeed is because you got lucky. Instead, we say "break a leg". And that phrase goes back to the days of Vaudeville (early 20th century). You can Google that phrase in order to learn more about it's origins, but in the mean time - break a leg! Hope you get cast!
Did u get it?
@@naodtsegai3039 Hi!!! I don't think so, because I didn't receive any messages, but I will still be audiotionating for other things. I won't give up.
@@anitagamarra6849 keep going men 👍
@@naodtsegai3039 Thank you very much!!!!! I loved this comment, you just made me happier with only three words. Thank you (and I mean it). Have a nice day/night/life.
Hey Kurt I’ve been watching your videos for some time now. And I’m not sure if you answered in your personal opinion what site would be better actors access or all casting? I know I have to pay to join I just want to make the right choice
im saying if i one day become sucessful and they need a "dad" or male figure role, im begging the producers to book you
I will try
NO!
Try NOT!...
DO or do not!
There is no "try".

Hello, my Name is Zachary, I've been recently intrigued and very interested in the screen acting industry, (I've watched a good deal of your videos!).That's so crazy that you used to live in the Cleveland area! I myself live in the greater Cleveland area and was skeptical about how many opportunity's there would be around here. I've been homeschooled my whole life and I'm currently finishing up the 10th Grade. Although portrayed to be extremely easy, my homeschool curriculum was much more intense then most, and my school days typically last about the same if not longer then the normal 8-4 public school curriculum. With my new ignited interest in acting I was hoping to get into acting classes this summer, is there any specific place you recommend in the Cleveland area? Thanks, love the videos!
Hey Kurt!
Great Video. Also, I saw you in one of the Atlanta Film Festival conferences :-)
So quite a few commercials and industrials ask for in perpetuity usage. Have you experienced this? If so, how did (or would) you negotiate this so companies don't have lifetime usage of... well you? Thanks again!
You can't really negotiate out of those usage terms. I simply decline any of those auditions.
Hey Kurt! I love ur vids they are so helpful. Hoping to be an actor one day! Can u tell me what a demo reel is because I dont actually know?
An actor demo reel is an edited video collection of an actor's best performances (typically between 30 seconds and 3 minutes long). It's similar to an artist's portfolio. If you were a sketch artist, you would have a folder with some examples of your best work to show to people. An actor's demo reel is a collection of an actor's best work to show to people. Talent agents, managers, casting directors, and potential employers view demo reels when searching for new acting talent.
@@ActingCareerCenter okay, thank you very much
I APPRECIATE ALL OF THIS BIG HOMIE IM CURRENTLY TAKING CLASSES AT HB STUDIO IN NYC QUICK QUESTION THE 48 HOUR FILM PROJECT HOW WOULD I FIND OUT AUDITION INFORMATION WHEN THEY COME TO MY CITY¿
nice
can you make a video about being an asian actor in hollywood ?? i want to be an actress but i feel like my chances are lower because i’m asian :/
It probably is! 😆
I’m Asian too but you know, part of the grind.
Honestly, I feel like being Asian has helped me in my career more than it has hurt me.
I am an asian indian....can i
It may be low, but not impossible. I'm starting to see a lot of Asian actors get quite a bit of exposure these days so keep trying. Besides, did you watch the Oscars last Sunday? An Asian female director won for her film.
Asians are actually over-represented in acting. So statistically it's actually easier for you if you're asian. Embrace the privelege :)
the girl that played yenefer on the witcher tv show only did plays (not even fully recorded plays if i remember) and then got into a huge show (the witcher)
Thank you so much Kurt! I really appreciate everything that you're sharing here. I've been brainstorming in creating my own short films, how would I put these in my resume, if I'm doing them by myself? I was thinking about posting them in CZcams, would this be considered credit that I can add to imdb?
Yes, you can (and should) add it to IMDb when you create your own short films. The other actors you cast will appreciate it as well!
@@ActingCareerCenter Thank you Kurt!
Hi, when you book a movie or tv show, can you practice your sides with a friend from school or coworker from work for example, without getting in trouble for sharing the plot of spoilers? Or do you only get them when you get to set. Thank you! Love your videos🥰
You can practice them with someone you trust. Someone who will not go and post spoilers all over the internet :)
Mr Kurt , can you make a video about character development
That's more of a screenwriting question - this is an acting channel.
Thank you a lot video all in your sharing in my inspiring too! I want to be a actor but even i can do in my loving acting and i know facial expression well, I am a deaf and I from in philippines, I got it question one of allow to training for acting class or agent apply to deaf my sign language isn't match the script? let me know to drop your recommend this ! Sir

Hey! Do you recommend any good agencies (possibly Atlanta) that is also for teenagers? Thanks!
i plan on doing school plays but i might have to wait depending on where i move cause id im in the same school district im going to have to wait till 9th grade but if i change school district i might be able to do school plays
yes, & you will see me on set 1 day , thank you Jesus!!! & thank you , Kurt!
Is there also a website for commercial auditions?
I'm sorry if I sound dumb, but does roleplay count as acting experience? I mean, you are also acting out a role and so on... or am I dumb?
I also have another question: Do you have a video where it shows how an audition takes place? I only read from a website, that you go in a room and you show what you got there.
But I don't know if you get a script what you have to do there or if there are any things in the room to work with and so on an this is something that im kind of "scared" of...
Btw. today I started watching your videos and I already know so much about being an actor and it's just amazing. You really helped me to get to know what you must/should do in this or this situation, which is great!
And you can say when they ask do you have any experience you can say I have create own content where I play the roles or is it like just training?
Can you make a video on child/ teen actor advice
Same as for anyone else - take acting classes; get headshots; sign up on casting sites. One major difference though is that producers have to pay more to hire child actors so they will try to hire people that are over 18 which look under 18 (it's $600 extra they have to pay to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement because otherwise - they are breaking child labor laws). If you've done no acting at all though - don't try to be an actor, try to be a student. Take classes first and maybe if you can get into the RIGHT school you might get discovered while performing in a play for that school - but that depends on your location. You're probably not going to find a great school if you live in Guerra TX but if you're in Dallas (or Los Angeles CA) you'll have better luck. If you don't live in the US - I don't know what to tell you, I've been in Los Angeles my whole life.
What's a demo reel? Is that the video showing your clips at the start of your video? Is it just to showcase different roles you have done?
Hey Kurt, thank you so much for your videos. They are so helpful and I absolutely love them. Question, how do you suggest we find behind the camera jobs? How do we get to helping the casting director or being a PA on set?
I think just networking with other people in the industry. Find facebook groups for filmmakers in your area and get started
Real
Extras also
Sir make a series how a new comer make his acting craft before or after ending his acting diploma or course. Plz sir if you read it make it. I like the you teach us i live in bangladesh which is in asia so is it not possible to get good acting school or taking course through online because in your country doesnt support paypal,google pay or any international money transfer in a normal way for normal people
I love your videos, and I have a question, what if you don’t have the looks to be an actor type thing, like I’m brown and idk if I look good enough for these roles
your acting ability is way more important than your looks
For Canada I've heard Actors Access, Casting Networks, and Casting Networks are the bugger ones here
Yes, Casting Networks and Casting Networks are the two best casting sites.
Or as some people call it "Casting Networks".
As a new actress, looking to start in anything. How would I provide a resume if I have yet to perform on anything?
