yayy! my insta is @officialveronicasetiadi!
i thought it was great that your mom came and said what she said because if its coming from another adult, my mom might listen to them. THANKS FOR THE TIPS AND ADVICE 💖. maybe we can soon work together🧐.
I love and appreciated all the advice she provided
Haha amazing guest
ahhh everyone turn on her notifications!!🎊🎊
I swear my acting career would take off so fast if my parents were supportive of it 😭
same
Mood 😭
LITERALLY
yessss 😩
SAME
i saw convince parents and clicked 😫 ive been so scared to ask my parents to be an actor tbh
Me too 🥺
Same here sisters
Ok so I want to become an actress and have been doing so. How I told my parents was just straight up I want to act. But I also did CZcams videos showing my acting so they helped me. If you want it bad enough just ask them. Or practice a script online and record yourself show your parents and then ask them.
You got this babe! I wish you luck!💕😊
@@MakaylaLysiak OMG YOU LIKED MY COMMENT I THINK IMA FAINT AHHH
Miss girl you are NEVER this hyper- I can tell you love what you're doing and I can also tell you want to help other people!
babes! thank you for writing this sweet message!😊💕 and yeah i felt HYPER!
@@MakaylaLysiak I have a question did you start acting when you was in school? And I love your videos😊❤
@@tipswithrugie9215 she did plays
I tried to ask my mom if I could be an actor and she said “all they do is make you get naked for a movie” and I thought *Dang, I guess I know what movies you watch now*
your mom is literally so prettyy omgg
I will tell her you said that lol 💕💖
aww thank you!💕
I saw the notification... my mind really said "GIVE ME GIVE ME-" like the immature person I am.
SAME😂
😂
Too true
Maybe you should make a video on how to act. Like how to cry on cue, how to look realistic, etc
Yes!
GIRL YESS
I though she did
I taught myself to cry on cue !
@@tamiyawilliams8767 I can but I never got a tear to drift down my face before. I can only get watery eyes.
I wish I had a mom who thinks about an actor career the way your mom does. mine would never understand. it's painful
i wish you luck
Luck? No! Blessings!
I want to be a film producer and screenwriter, but too be honest its a unrealistic job that's really hard to get I'm not leaving my day job until I'm actually a producer. I prayed to God 30 times to let me become a film producer and he finally answered my prayers around 2:00 am in my dream. So now I know it's time for me to hustle to get my movies made. If I didn't hear God tell me you will be a filmmaker I would still be saying it's an unrealistic job.
@@starbright6579 🙏🏽 amen, let me know if you need a actor lol
Same 🥹
Me and my mother had a talk about me wanting to be an actor. I’m starting an acting class and she said that to go for. So I’m going to love this video!!!
Congrats!
what acting school? is it in nyc?
LUCKY your so lucky you guys have all that money
@@itshonesty5399 Not necessarily. I take acting classes as well and my family doesn’t have much money.
@@st4rr., I think they mean once their career begins.
I don't think I'm going to be able to be an actor until I'm 18 because my mum can't leave work but I'll use that time to train my self.......These videos help me so much, thank for giving us your time and support we all love you
Thank you for your continued support.😊💕 I wish you luck!
yeaaa sameee
Ikr
SAME
you can get a chaperone
Your mum was so close to crying and it was jyst so heartwarming
🥺💕
You're mom was so sweet and she's so pretty and I can tell that she supports you 100% and you should bring her on the channel more (if you want her to and if she wants to)
I broke down crying tears about how badly I wanted to be am actress and how I was understood and I still have a feeling my mum don’t care. 🙂
Same
Same I always start crying when I think about it
Same. 😭 I did break down a few times too
it’s okay take online classes, there are online classes for free, acting classes on youtube. if u still want to be an actor in the future take college classes for it. you can also print scripts and practice. makayla’s channel has videos on how to analyze and break down scripts. just in case u can’t access a printer, options are school library, local library, or just make edits on your device with the script. i really hope this helps:)! Hopefully u still wanna be an actor since this comment was a year ago😂
@@cringeynidjie6471 wow OMg no this was very helpful thank you so much, do u wanna be an actor too?
with my parents support or not I'm going to follow my dream anyways cause I really love acting, I have been on school theater for 8 years now. im from portugal and here acting isnt appreciated so im working hard to move to LA and start my career.
u help me a lot
You don’t have to move to a major city for acting you could probably see if there are any student or independent film makers seeking actors to build a resume and then you could submit to agencies
i'm 14, and i feel like its too late to get into acting, but i know I've wanted to be on stage and possibly screen for a while now. your video really inspired me to finally bring up my dreams with my parents, even if i'm worried about them not supporting me. thank you :)
dont worry
show them how passionate you are.
It’s never too late! You will never know success if you don’t try. I’m 19 and I also feel like I’m sooo late for this career but we will get through it:)
Girl same. I feel like i wasted too much time
I've remembered Robert Pattinson said this before, that you're never too old to start acting :)
Same
bro, i've been asking my dad to be an actress for about 4 years, (since i was 12) but now,
*i have the keys to the universe*
You with this vid be like thanos with the infinitely stones: I am inevitable
@@riley4757 XD!! Like, if he says no, "In all my years of conquest, its never been personal, but i'll tell you now, what I'm about to do to you stubborn, annoying little planet, I'm gonna enjoy it."
why is this exactly what i needed 🤍🤍
because i can read you’re mind... and the comments 🙃
@@MakaylaLysiak wow an actress and a mind reader the talent 🤩
LOVE THIS! The part where your mom was talking about why it was worth the sacrificing because she saw her child find her purpose! Very inspirational! Not me crying right now
i’ve been waiting for this post...
it is finally here 🤠💕
POV: we have strict parents
I was straight up having a mental breakdown last night because my mom wants me to leave my performing arts school and won't allow me go to my dream college so I can be an actress and I have all this people(even my doctor who I just met) supporting me and then there's my mom who should be the first person to support me, going against my dreams, and then I see this video. Thank you so much!
remember even if your parents dont support you because they dont want to commit and stuff during your high school years, you can try again after your 18! there is no age that is too old to go into acting! Don't let your parents disrupt your dreams soon they will see how committed you are!
@@angelinakim2371 Thanks!
awwwe im so sorry lola:( never give up bae and you're amazing:) . if she wants you to not be in ur performing arts school just give her an explaination and tell her you enjoy being in it,and you can record yourself acting and go to auditions and practice scripts and lines,you can do it i'm rooting for you lola:) you're amazing:)
@@deniserxsseline Thank you so much for your support Denise! You have no idea how much this means to me and how happy it makes me. I promise I will work hard to achieve my dreams
@@Lola-fx8zf awe girl np
I literally have goosebumps right now I'm only 3 minutes and 13 seconds in and I feel like I know how to convince my parents
Yay!!! Good luck!😆👏🏽💖
Your mum is sooooo amazing. She looks just like you. The words that she said is inspirational. ❤️❤️❤️
omgggg! thank you for the sweet comment! i’m gonna tell her you said this 😊💕
“Why don’t you be a tree?” THIS HAD ME 😂😂
I'm 18 now and I can legally freely pursue my dream and start a job to pay for acting classes even though my parents don't support me, but they constantly bring me down mentally and it's getting harder to keep believing in myself.
On another note thank you so much for the video!
It’s the smile for me-
She be smiling the whole video, love it 🥸
It was so easy for me to convince them that it sacred me lmao
Lol
One of the reasons my parents probably wouldnt want to let me is because they think I just want fame but thats NOT IT AT ALL and idk how to show them that I just really love acting -_-
Maybe tell them that if you wanted fame you wouldn’t be choosing to get it from acting bc it’s one of the hardest ways to gain fame
I SWEAR WHAT MAKES ME MORE MAD IS privileged kids who’s parents are already famous and they easily get booked MY BLOOD BOILS
Honestly same
You shouldn't be mad it's not there fault
Ok so basically I had told my mom i wanted to act a while ago and she wasn’t supportive she was like she didn’t wanna see me get hurt if I didn’t get a role and it’s expensive and all that but I just gave it time for her to think for a few months then I had a chance to get into this really good preforming arts school so she sighed me up to audition for this school in may so I talked to her at like 3 am and sat down with her and explained why I wanted to act and why I love it so much basically I told her how I felt and she listened so we made a deal if I get into this preforming arts school she will get me acting classes and we will move on from there I was so excited but first I have to get in this school so wish me luck😁
Good luck! Have you gotten in yet?
@@stephanie2461 yea I got my acceptance letter yesterday
@@nate4392 well done!! i wish you the best :D
@@stephanie2461 thank you:)
How is it going? I'm going to be one soon just need a little more time to do something
I slipped a few mentions of me wanting to be an actress to my mom. I was super stressed to, because honestly I really wasn’t sure how she would react. But for my biggest surprise she took it well, amazing actually. She supported me with the idea. And I’m so glad about that.
Good luck to everyone telling their parents and growing as actors. 😘💕 you can do this.
Love this🙌 it's a pity that our parents lived in a generation where dreams did not come true but it's all up to us to make them slowly move from that mindset by allowing them into our creative space and slowly make them understand
ikrrr :)
I'm taking two LA acting classes! Right now it's online :D
I want to be an actress and I've tried every single thing to get my parents to change their minds about me being a doctor or a lawyer hopefully your advice works. Also I want to thank you for inspiring me everyday to follow my dreams.
It took me a while but my mom said yes
"There's no better reward than seeing your child succeed."
when your mum started tearing up 🥺🥺 bless her heart
🐰💕😊
Ive wanted to be an actress for ages and ive finally built up the courage to tell my parents and i started an acting class at my school❤️ your vids helped me so much🥰
awww your mom is literally the sweetest💗 I’m gonna try to talk with my parents again and hope I’ll get their support...thank you so much Makayla love u💐
your mom is so sweet and supportive omg please tell her that i would literally die for her
Your mama is a REAL ONE! so so supportive and loving🥺🥺🥺 What a blessing for you!🥰🥰🥰
ah yes the queen has posted !!
😇
I always have struggles with my acting career since it isn't really common in my city. My mum is okay with me wanting it, but the only agency is in another place literally thirty minutes away - not only are agencies common there, but also available jobs. The REAL PROBLEM is that where i live (my city ), they don't let anyone IN or OUT because of covid
in my place the building where tv shows or commercials are mostly occured is 3-5 hours away from my place, and there is covid so I can't go there 🙃
@@yukizuu8789 covid really do be ruining our chances tho smh
“Bunny🐇” it was so nice hearing how much your mom supported you, can’t wait to see you do so much more✨*adding to my bucket list* ✍🏾: direct/produce a future film with Makayla
💕🥰
No matter what I do, my parents always go straight to no. I don’t know why they aren’t supporting me and my dreams. I have cried myself to sleep about this stuff, they just won’t take me seriously they think it’s a phase. It really hurts me.
3:43 as a parent, I felt that. Supporting our kids feels overwhelming sometimes.
i found this video the day i’m trying to figure out how to convince my mom to let me audition via backstage - thank you for both the advice and the backstage code!!
not sure she’ll go for it (my whole family seems to think all child actors have a terrible life) but you gave me more motivation to try
people always tell me that being a child actor is horrible and hard and people are mean to you and it's my dreams being crushed but watching these videos I feel SO MUCH better.
Your mom is so awesome! I love how she supports you in your acting career!!! I wish I could have started acting when I was younger. I’ve been discouraged to take up acting from friends/family members growing up when I was serious as you at a young age. Now that I’m 24 I’ve decided to follow my own dreams instead of trying to please everyone else and live theirs. Im in an agency now and giving it all that I have to pursue my dream. Acting is my passion and I know I’ll be up there with you soon one day. Thank you and your mom for the advice even though I’m not a minor it was still awesome to hear the parents perspective on having a career in acting.
Good for you! I’m sure your doing awesome right now 💕
Your mom is awesome she gave me the hope and advice to follow through with what I love.
Thank you so much Makayla this is exactly what I needed! I have been loving the experiences of acting in my daily life and it’s really something I am interested in, thanks so much! ❤️❤️
💖💖💖
Your mom is so pretty and nice! ❤️
🐰💕😊
Your mom is so understanding🥺
5 years old from London UK 🇬🇧- we love your videos - thank you Makayla you’re the best ❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I got an agency (kids casting)So I’m going to get my head shots and body shots
And my cousin actually got in a sonic commercial. I think I’m going to start with commercial and get used to the screen first but wish me luck, Also you are very talented!
Same love!
I'm in a different agency, but there so amazing and kind.
I'm going to get my photo shots soon and I'm excited.
I'm so happy to start my path as a model/actor!!!
How do you get into an agency for kids???
Most relatable and helpful acting channel😌💯
aye ayeeee!😭 i’m honored!🤠💕
I love your videos!!! It makes me feel more comfortable and confident about about my acting career
I’m so glad ur videos popped up on my my recommendation!
All I told my dad was "I wanna be a actor and I'm not" because I was arguing with my sister and she was like "I wanna (I don't remember what she said) and I don't have it" then I said that and my dad said "I will see if there is a spot open and you can audition and he said I can be in short films because he knows someone who makes them!!
Thank you so much for your whole account! I love how you take time out of your day to help others :) x
💕🥰
Hey Makayla! I have watched your videos for sooo long now! This year is my first year doing theatre (at school I've done it at other places) and you have inspired me so much! You are crazy good at giving me tips for acting! My parents are signing me up for an audition now BECAUSE OF YOUU!! I could not have thanked you enough for this videoo!!! I love you so much! Keep continuing to inspire so many people!!
That's right mom. That's why i support my daughter and she's 20 now so she's pushing on her own but she supports me in my dream to be an actress too. We cheer each other on now too to get to auditions or sets fir bg roles. I love it. She encourages me too to not give up no matter how old. She's my twin and my ❤
Thanks for this.. My mom is really a hindrance for me in pursuing my dream... If it worked out....you are so damn good Makayla
When I told my mom I wanted to be an actor my mom didn't doubt me she just said you need to be a really good actor after all I'm fine if I'm not going to be an actor but during my path I just want to focus on important things.
Literally JUST THE VIDEO I NEED. I love watching your videos so much.
😊💖
My parents don't have enough money or time to support an acting career right now, especially because I have a lot of siblings. However, I still love to learn and practice new things you teach from your videos. Thank you!
this is exactly what i needed no joke
I love your videos! I remeber whem you had 32k, you are growing so fast. Also thank you for this video I have a hard time trying to convince my parents to be a actress
i am growing ahhh! that you for supporting me love!😊💕
YOURE MOM IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS OMG!! Also I love your videos thank you so much!!💗💗💗
the queen has posted periodt
I'm in love with your videos .. I have never thought about acting because i dó singing, athletics, dancing, more and I'm now inspired to do acting because of you thank you so much for your inspiring vids 💜💜💜❤️🌟🌟keep up the good work hun .
Thank you so much for your support !😊💕
@@MakaylaLysiak your welcome 😊❤️❤️❤️👻Makayla Lysiak !!
Hey, Makayla! I asked my mom if I could start to start act, and broke down my goals to her, I said I can take practice classes, start acting at plays, and I told her about you, and she said she likes your channel, and eventually, after showing so much intrest and how much I adored acting..she said that I could start my acting classes very soon! Thank you so much, I adore you!
To, Makayla Lysiak, aka MY INSPIRATION!!
So happy to hear this! Yay! I wish you luck on your journey!🥰🥳💖
makayla I've got to say, before i was into acting but i thought it was just unrealistic and i should forget abt it but then 1-2 years later (right now) you popped up on my yt page and now i rly want to become serious in acting. idk what my parents will say but thank you so much luv
This notified me as soon as I started to think about my career options haha
OMGGG HI SO EARLY I LOVE U SO MUCH U MOTAVATE ME EVERY DAY AND I FEEL LIKE U WOULD BELIEVE IN TO BECOME AN ACTOR BC ITS MY DREAM 🥺🥺🥺Btw First
I just had my first acting class last Thursday, I've already learned so much!!
Your mom is the cutest!! We need her in more videos
Bunny✨💛
Also your videos have helped me so much and I have been able to take classes based in L.A!
🥰
Hey Makayla your mom is so amazing and everything she said is 100% true. I can totally relate to her because l just starting the same journey with my 8yrs old little boy who just got signed on by an awesome agent and even though right now is a lot of self-taping auditions at home but you as the mom have to spend a lot of time pepping your child and taping his or her Auditions and believe me it’s very time consuming, but at the same time very self satisfying to me.
Love to hear this! I will pass on this message to her!💕😊
when ur mom give the advice i cried too!! 🥺💙
Thank you so much for this!! my parents have been a little supportive but I hope this video will help them. I am sending them the link to the video now.
Makeup routine plz ❤️❤️❤️
This video was really helpful, I'm 11 and acting just sounds like a really fun job. But sadly I dont think my parents will be able to pay much money, and parents cant miss their work. Maybe when I'm older I be one, and for now I can practice acting and join some plays in my school to not be so shy. But seriously thanks for these videos!
i kinda started crying when your mom was talking about how she supported you bc my parents aren’t supportive and ignore me if i try to talk abt my dreams i would want to fulfill
When your parents are toxic and told you that it was worthless no matter how many times you convinced them all they told me was that no agency would want me and that I have no talent :’)
Awwww I hope things get better for you! 😊
girl,don't say that you dont have talent,everyone have talent,.... you're amazing and beautiful inside out:) and i believe in you:) you are not worthless,dont listen to haters who bring u down u are awesome :)
Aww I’m so sorry🥲
What are some ways to convince/help your family when it comes to money problems? What can I personally do to try and take that burden of money and time away from them but still try my hand at being an actress? Btw I am under 16 so I can't drive yet :( That would have helped a lot.
Also loved the guest! Fantastic 10/10
I immediately clicked when I saw this video because right now I have been looking into acting and yeah I have been squeezing acting in between school and music and like I have been getting help and tips from my drama teacher so I'm finally getting the confidence to tell my parents and ask them if they would support the decision 🙌
i’m so happy that my mom supports my vision of being an actress and that i have enough money saved up to pay for things myself
Omg when I finished watched this video a day later my parents finally found out I wanted to be an actor .BUT only cuz sister told them and not me . I mean I was mad at her cuz I didn't want them to find out so soon but I was happy cuz they knew . But now it's the next step . They have to know I really really want to be an actress .😁😌
Hey Makayla! So I started acting class, and I’ve done pretty good so far! Where I live, it’s not that many places I can audition for, so that’s a bit hard. Could you give me any tips? 🥰
Thank you so much!!!! I've wanted to be an actress for years!! My mom has been saying how she's not going to pay for an acting degree in college, but that's the only thing I want to be when I'm older. Hopefully, these tips work, thank you so much!
I just booked my first audition today and I still have to convince my parents so thank you so much
I've shown my interest in acting to my mom I've always been picked in a school play especially to play the main role and really my mom didn't even get the idea that I want to be an actress. And its really hard for me because I wanted to become an actress since I was 5.
So I can’t tell you how much I wanna be an actor but I’ve got some problems... first, I always laugh and can’t take it seriously. Second, I’m to shy! Pls helpppp
Makayla I love you so much and thank you for helping people that want to become actors and for your tips, btw your mom is so freaking cute💖🥺❤️
i’ve always wanted to be an actor and i have a plan lol i hope it works :) your amazing and thank you for finally giving me the courage to do this!
Can you do your own sort of acting class? It would really help those who don't have acting classes in their area.
I have thought about that for a while now but I don’t have the time atm. That is definitely something coming in the future though!
My mom keeps on asking me what I wanna do for summer, I never said I wanna learn acting cause I wanna be an actor, but imma try to convince my parents for summer...and this vid helps me alot 😌
Edit: My aunt told my mom while on a video with her sisters (my aunt is my mom's sister in case y'all got confused and I also told my aunt last October I wanted to be an actor) and they were fine with it and they are going to find a way for me to become an actor after this pandemic 😃😃
OMG just the video I was looking for THANK YOU SO MUCH even though I am a little late so SORRY!!! ✨✨😁😁
Young talented and smart your mother definitely raised you well
i clicked so fast
You encouraged me a lot, but question! Should I be desperate and like tell my mom “you don’t have to pay my phone bill” and “you can sell my game, just please let me be an actor”? I don’t know if that will work though
You could try that, but also make sure they now thay you are investing time into acting! What I do is that when ever I research about acting things I havent learned yet, I tell my parents about it!
Also, if your on your phone listening/reading about acting, make sure you tell them in a suddle way!
ahhh tysm! i love you!
