It never fails to blow my mind how girls aren't happy for the winners. It's truly sad how some girls are so incapable for wishing for someone else's success
Totalllllly agree.
I get it!
My own friend was angry I was competing against her for a scholarship pageant. She made it crystal clear to the pageant officials that I wasn't a good candidate and sabotaged me. I said wow we've been friends for what 18 years? I guess you really weren't my friend all along? When she placed and I didn't I still smiled for her.
@@captaincrunch784 You will have a better life than her.
@@captaincrunch784 wow ur such an angel.. you don’t deserve anyone like that. Who cares about her.. jealousy is a disease
Thank you for all the comments. Love hearing from everyone!!
I get it 😩 I didn’t think this was harsh at all. It’s actually refreshing to hear some of these things. I didn’t really know that judges paid attention to social media presence, but I guess it’s for the same reason employers check social media. Being a titleholder is a job and you are representing a brand, it makes sense! Also, I didn’t know teeth made such a big impact. So informative, thanks Dani 💗
You're very welcome. Yes, social media is huge. It's not uncommon for directors to give judges contestant interview sheets and encourage them to search for a contestant on social media. I've done this and prepared specific questions based off of a contestants social media posts.
I’m so glad I found you!! I did my first pageant at the age of 46. I was talked into doing it and I didn’t have a coach. I didn’t know what I was doing AT ALL! I’m coming back at the age of 48 and I’m all in! Your videos are helping and I will continue to watch them and watch over and over and input all of this into my life! Thank you!!!
Oh this is amazing!!! This makes me so happy to read. Thank you for sharing this. Good luck!!
Im not planning to compete ......but i totally get u.....
Thanks for stopping by to watch.
Spot on, particularly about getting in shape! People are so hesitant to address this out of fear of being accused of body shaming, but the reality is, you have to be healthy and physically fit not only to survive the physical rigors of the pageant, but to actually LOOK the perfect package!
I was definitely hesitant to mention it too lol. But you're right it is a part of the package.
My Daughter & I will watch this together later.
Dani I love how detail oriented you are! I can see why you make an excellent pageant coach! Your honesty means you genuinely care.
P.S. you have a million dollar smile 😍 Not only are you so well spoken and annunciate so well, but I enjoy watching you speak as much as hearing!
It's my pleasure. Thank you so much @Elizabeth B
I'm refreshing my teeth brightening with Crest 3D White Strips right now. Our first meet and greet is in 2 weeks. I'll be ready for meeting everyone for the first time with a gleaming smile!😁
I get it🤗 thank u Dani for all this Info. Ivee & I are new to this. Keep bringing Info for my 11year old to learn. I'll check your website out more for your stylings 😉😍❤ We love you Dani.
So glad to hear it. I post new videos every week :)
You are so smart. My father who judged MAO and MUSA for 54 years, is still angry that you were not Miss USA. He knows his stuff. He was on the panel that selected Sylvia Hitchcock Miss Alabama USA 1967. When he got home that night, I overheard him tell my mother, "we just crowned Miss Universe." The rest is history.
Awww oh my gosh! That's so awesome!! He knew!
@@DaniWalker Yes he did!
I get it!! I actually just got braces, so I'm happy about that! Thank you so so very much for making videos like this. I never knew how much I was literally standing in my own way and stopping myself from succeeding. Dani you are amazing!! #toughlove Girls (especially me I know) need to hear this, they need to know how they are holding themselves back and how they can positively improve!!! There is not a word to describe my thankfulness, gratitude, and appreciation for your channel saving me from myself!! Love you and your channel
This was such a sweet message. Thank you so much! Glad to hear that you found the episode and channel helpful for prep. That's why I do it :)
Yaaaaasssss! Dani sharing jewels out in these streets!! Lol 😂
Double Yassssss!!
i am just happy i am not that girl! i cried of joy when both of my best friends won pre-teen and jr pre-teen
Congrats to you and your friends for their success.
invisalign is literally the best for anything on a stage🙌🏻
Yes, I had it, it was awesome :)
Thanks for all the videos Dani! We've been watching like crazy! My daughter is about to compete in her 6th NAM pageant. She consistently gets good scores and every year but 1 she's been in the top finalists, she just needs that little extra jump to get there. We're taking notes!
I can't get enough of your pageant advice/tips videos😁 👑
genia van noord I’m glad you say that because there’s more coming 😄
@@DaniWalker yayyy😂📽❤
I get you..so im booking you! this hit hard! thank you Dani because i definitely realize i need help in areas i thought i was strong on! i have slacked on my social media this last year..time to get my head back in the game to be a major contender!
also say that about the TEENS LOOKING AND SOUNDING LIKE A MISS!! #stayateenboo trust us you've got plenty of time to join us Miss girls...i cringe when i see teens who look older than me..but have great potential.
Exactly!! There's a reason there's different age divisions. One thing that's "looked for" is fitting into your age division and appealing to girls in that age group. Teens need to look and sound like teens.
Thank you for this Dani! Your content has helped me so much in my pageant journey! ❤️
You're so welcome! I'm so happy to hear that!!
I love your insight I would pay to see the behind the scenes interviews at USA but especially Universe where there seems to be something always going on when the cameras aren't on. The first person that came to mind was Miss Venezuela 2016 not qualifying at Miss Universe 2016 in the Philippines. I wish MUO and Fox would broadcast more of the preliminary events and the day of the pageant more like they used to back in the day. I also think at Miss USA should bring back crowning runners up to go to Miss World like in other countries do but they have their own franchise. They don't televise the other pageants like Miss World America or Miss Earth USA I think Americans would watch these pageants if they were televised in primetime.
Thank you! Miss World and Earth could use some strong contenders and I think crowning runners up at Miss USA is a great idea. Other countries do that and have had great success at other larger international pageants because of the amount of prep that goes into getting a contestant ready for Miss USA.
@@DaniWalker I think 2019 is another strong year hope to see your predictions for USA
@@stephenanderson1594 Yes it's on my to-do list. I hope I can film that in the next few days.
@@DaniWalker Cool
Another good one Dani!
You should do a video who your semi finalist would have been when you competed at Miss USA.
Also without dropping names etc...what was drama like back stage and how was it counteracted with positivity.
Actually we had a really great class. The staff kept saying how surprised they were by us because we were really supportive of one another. The girls who had previously been to Miss America noted that it was sooo different at Miss USA in the best way. I guess their America experience was different, they said the girls weren't as nice because everyone wanted to win. Our class has been great at keeping in touch and loving on each other. I think that's why so many of us still hang out and travel to see one another.
@@DaniWalker that's remarkable....women supporting and empowering each other! Nice.
Dani, this is such an amazing video, not only for pageant prep but for all aspects of life as well! WTG, girl! Thanx so much for sharing 🙏🏻✌🏻❤️
Thank you so much! It makes me so happy to hear that :D
Love this so much, I appreciate you speaking up about things we, as contestants, really need to hear!! So incredibly helpful and honest. Thank you Dani. ❤️❤️
You're very welcome. I'm happy I can be of some help.
These tips are really good! They are honest and make sense
Thank you so much!
Spot on, Dani!!!!!!
Thank you so much
I have natual jet black hair, and since I'm neutral brown, there is no other colour I can dye my hair that is beautiful enough except Gray and special colours that are not fit for pageant. Brown looks to close to my skin, blond make me look crazy and ombre make me look empty. Jet black looks unnatural if the person was a brunnet or a blonde ( mostly blondes ).
Exactly, it looks harsh, unless it's actually your hair color.
I get it! And I’m so excited for my pageant on Sunday!!!
Yayy!! Glad to hear it. What part stuck out most to you? (BTW good luck on Sunday!!)
I get it! 💕💕💕 Thank you Dani❤️❤️
Very welcome
I entered a peagent and made finals thanks to your interview video. I am looking forward to watching your videos and making it through
Wonderful! Good luck!! :D
honestly, this made me understand why i lose my local every time. im really taking these into consideration because its my last year of doing junior miss hehe! my interview is always a struggle, and i reaaaally need to change my hair. 😹 tysm!!
I'm glad I could give you some new perspectives
you are amazing , what great advice. I loved watching this. Thanks
You are so welcome! I appreciate that Erica!
This is like the perfect list so thankful for this vid ❤️
You're so welcome :D
Thank you so much! I really needed this and it helped me realize things so I don’t make that mistake.
You're so welcome!
I get it, Dani!
Happy to hear it :)
This isn’t related to the video but the dress you’re wearing in the thumbnail is really cute
Pugsinaboat thank you!! Loved that one but I sold it :(
What do you suggest for girls who know that something is off/wrong, and they know what (certain parts of) it is, but don't know how to fix it and can't afford a coach's help?
I had that issue, and there's not way around it other than to save up for some coaching. Outside help can make a huge difference. It might take longer to achieve a title, but it will be a big help. If someone can gather funds to compete in a pageant, they can also get funds for necessary coaching to succeed in that pageant.
I GET IT!! Thank you :)
completely agree with your advice for the queens.
: D Thank you!
Wow, you have helped me a lot thanks dani. ..am coming for my competition this year and I believe your advice will be useful
I'm so happy to hear that. Good luck!!
Loved the video and hope I will go in male pageant and loved you
Thank you! Maybe some of this can translate to male pageants too.
Hi Dani! Quick question for you, what is your opinion on women who wear glasses when they compete? Do you recommend contacts/is it ok to wear glasses? Thank you so much! Love your videos. 😊
Thank you! Nothing against glasses themselves. I just suggest not wearing them because of the glare on stage. They can prevent judges from making eye contact with you.
Was Lu Sierra any help during your time at Miss USA?
Yes, she taught us all the stage patterns and lead the rehearsals. Love Lu, she's so funny!
I get it! I’ve been nervous about my wardrobe for my pageant. Aug us coming so fast
I have an interview style guide. Maybe that can help. dani-walker.ck.page/4707e7629d
Love this video! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!!
So Dani if u could I had a question about the whole teeth thing?? Do u recommend Invisalign for younger contestants and teeth whitening?? If u could let me know that would be great thanks:)
Invisalign is preferred because traditional braces make your teeth not show up well on stage and Invisalign works very quickly.
I GET IT! This is my first year of pageants and I have won every title I have entered in. Friday this week I will be going international and I havent even passed on my regional title yet. I'm so shocked that so many young women just don't understand it yet
Oh congratulations on all your title!!! That's incredible!!!
Thank you so much for talking about social media. Overall I’ve seen very positive instagram accounts. I actually unfollow when I see anything slightly vulgar.
That's a good practice.
Loving your videos so far, great work! 🔥
Thank you so much!!
Hey Dani! #1 fan here! I was wondering as a fellow but beginning pageant coach, could you do a video or two about how to be the best coach possible, things you’ve found to be super effective, and maybe the boundary for coaches to be truthful while still being helpful? I’ve helped 3 girls win titles already but I feel like learning from you would be awesome! Thanks!
Jacob Moon Congratulations on your success. That’s a tough question and topic because some coaches specialize in different areas. But personally I’ve found that it’s best to adjust coaching to the client. Not everything works with every girl. You have to identify her weak areas and understand how she processes criticism. It’s also essential to understand what each system is looking for in a titleholder. You can’t take the same approach to every girl.
Dani Walker That is so true! Thanks so much!!! 💕
I GET IT!!!!! My eyes are being open!
Would some of this advice mostly about your teeth include,with the NAM pageant
Noah Bugajski not so much for nam. More adult systems like USA, international, world, etc.
I really get it thank you for your help
So glad to hear it :D
What if you have balayage dyed hair that's grown out? Should the blonde be cut off?
I had balayage at Miss USA. I'd say, if the color of your roots and ends greatly contrast, then they should be touched up to find that middle ground. But balayage itself is really common for titleholders.
Thank you so much!!
Thank u dannie
I love you
Riju Bhattarai welcome! Love you!! 💗
What if I am posting photos of wins or my crowns will I seem selfish and not humble
An easy way to post about a win is through a thank you post for pageant sponsors and organizers.
Ok thank you very much
Hi I have a question, so what if a contestant has straight teeth, but feels awkward smiling with her teeth? Will that take points off if a contestant smiles without teeth?
That could effect your score. Smiling without teeth could give off the impression that you're nervous or lack confidence. Titleholders need to demonstrate confidence to win.
I get it!
👑💕
so sad :( i am competeing in a few weeks but my teeth are NOT straight :(
Nothing you can worry about right now since you can't change anything at the moment. Just focus on being confident.
Dani Walker oke :D
Me too I have a pageant in 2 weeks
I get it, I’ve never competed but I wanted to take notes.
:)))
I prep people for interviews all the time and the one thing poor interviewers have in common....They are not present in the moment and for some reason they feel they don't trust themselves enough to articulate authentic responses that people will like.
verrrrryyy true!!! They second guess everything. I see that a lot. It's a huge mental barrier.
I want you prepare me for my pageant. It’s possible ?
That's the most famous scandal in the Greek pageant system. She ended up 1st runner up to the national tittle Star Hellas and after years of drug abuse and bad choices she became a pornstar in a country with very limited porn industry where most of the performers are invited to participate or immigrants from countries with a long standing porn industry. www.espressonews.gr/sites/default/files/oldarticles/jul1_1.jpg She made that face after her crowning
Hmm... I’ve got braces, and I know teeth are important.... could I do it? I’m 12. I can get white teeth, but my braces are silver..
It's typical of contestants your age to have braces when they compete. That's age appropriate. No worries there :D
Dani Walker oh good 😅💓
I’m planning on pre teen North Texas NAM, is that to major for a first pageant, could I even place on a first try?
@@user-hb3qv1eh5e That's great, everyone starts somewhere, go for it!
I’m 19 and have braces going to nationals this summer :(
Mikaela Agawa well congrats on nationals! You can do it! ❤️
my teeth are screwed up and not bright but I have everything else I need.
:(
Nice hair color👍👌😍
Roudy Boy Mansour thank you, I love the change.
I am getting braces in a couple of months. But my pageant is in August. What should I do? This episode was really helpful! ❤
Never worry about anything that's out of your control. Get those braces asap, and compete as confidently as you can.
Thank you Dani I will! 😊 ❤
So with the teeth thing; I can’t get ANY of the braces or whatever they’re called because of my family’s income as well as mine.... i have been doing a local pageant since last summer (going again this year) but I have one tooth that grew in wrong from when I was young and it’s literally bonded to the one beside it.... any tips?
Go to your dentist and get a referral to an orthodontist. That kind of problem is easy to correct with invisalign braces. You need to get it corrected as Dani advises. Do you have dental insurance? If you do, it may pay for orthodontia, especially if you teeth are misaligned and cause eating problems. But check into your family's dental insurance plan. If you don't have insurance, find out how much the braces cost and save your own money and pay for them yourself. Whatever you're doing for money like baby sitting can be used to do this. If people give you monetary gifts for your birthday etc, save it and pay for your own braces. Have a fund raiser, be creative. You can have what you want and need if you put your mind to it.😊
so does dark hair (jet black) not look good on stage?
madison clifton it depends. If a girl doesn’t have naturally dark hair then it can look unnatural. Typically you’ll want to break it up with some dimensional highlights
I GET IT! i am doing my 3rd school pageant that’s in less than two weeks!!!
Wishing you lots of luck!
@@DaniWalker I GOT 5th RUNNER UP OUT OF 40 GIRLS AND I WAS THE ONLY UNDERCLASSMEN
Very informative!
Thanks for checking it out.
This is so awesome!!!! Thank you!!!!
You are so welcome!
I am a pageant winner but I like to see tips about it
Tips about what?
What not to do in a pageant for next year. also thank you for the tips!!
- awesome!
:D Thanks!!
This really helped me! I believe my walk is holding me back..but right now I can't afford a walking coach and don'r know how to get one. What would you suggest I do?
Ariana Speight it’ll continue to hold you back without correction, just like my hair, makeup and wardrobe did for me. You should save up and book one.
Ariana Speight better yet, get it sponsored.
Ariana Speight better yet, get it sponsored.
U helped me a lot thanks
I get it🥰
I'm glad to hear it :D
Need your opinion: should I be disqualified from a pageant for being 19 and living with my boyfriend? I know you’ll be honest
You're an adult, that's totally your business. I wouldn't foresee that coming up in a pageant interview.
I get it!!
Yayyy!! What part of this episode was most helpful?
On the topic of teeth: what do you use to get yours so white?
Mine are bonded. There's a thin layer over the top of my teeth that makes them really white.
Dani Walker I’ll have to look into that! Thank you Dani :) hope you’ve been well!
Hi Dani,
What do you use to whiten your teeth?
Thank you!
My teeth were bonded before Miss USA. I don't have to whiten them because the bonding is permanent.
I get it 😍😍😍
I'm happy to hear it :D
aaaand that’s why I’m almost done with Invisalign 🤣☑️
@Dani What is your opinion on wearing a properly fitted, high quality wig while competing in a pageant? Is it misleading or could it be beneficial to your total package?
Theresa Scanlan won Miss America in a wig because her hair was damaged and broken. I think if you choose a quality one, it's not a problem.
@@DaniWalker My hair is healthy. I just can't wear long hair every day, and I've yet to see a crowned titleholder with a formal short double undercut. That and I just don't know how to style short pageant hair. It makes me sad that the haircut that makes me feel happiest is not seen in the pageant world.
Your teeth are very beautiful
Welcome to beautiful
I get it!!!
So glad to hear it. What part from this video stuck out the most?
Hi Dani .Is there any height requirements for miss universe and miss usa?
No, there are not.
@@DaniWalker oh thank u
Then why aren't there any short girls competing?
@@jayalakshmidethan6769 Short girls do compete. People think a lot of girls are taller on stage. I was surprised that girls were shorter than me at Miss USA. I'm barely 5'7 which, I thought would be really short in USA.
Is there any miss usa who is under 5'4
OMG I GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m so glad ☺️☺️☺️
I get it. 😁
""Ms.Walker,all of this is great information however the pageant scene is changing (2.0-MissAmerica) I just recently saw this pageant there were bad bodies,hair , teeth and clothes and their calling this 2.0......!!!!????😉
I love these tips... but I feel like people's interpretation of "physically fit" can look different. I'm naturally bigger/curvier than many other pageant girls but that doesn't make me any less fit than a girl who is smaller than me.
Kaylee Nicole thanks 💕 I think being proportionate is what most judges consider 😊
I Get it!! :))
Yayyyyy!!! : D
Is it fine if you don't have good teeth for a 12 year old
What pageant are u a judge for.
I've judged for Miss Amazing, Miss Earth USA, Miss USA locals, and other non-affiliated local pageants so far. I've also been staff for NAM and USA state pageants
Dani Walker omg ur replied and I do NAM
@@jessicaevgenikos9666 Oh that's great. Did you already compete at state this year?
Dani Walker yes
@@jessicaevgenikos9666 Great, will you be attending nationals too?
So does having teeth that aren't properly aligned lowering my chances of winning?
I can’t believe you have a tRUMP comercial on your page!
Creators don't choose the ads that run on their videos. CZcams selects them. Each users ad experience is personalized by the CZcams algorithm.
I won't fix my teeth to impress anyone
Are you saying that I'm losing because I was born with a gap in my teeth
This is why u lost Miss USA :(
This actually isn't why
I get it!!
Awesome!! What was your biggest lesson from this video?
