I did background acting for YEARS!! Paid my rent doing it . Made friends, met celebs nice and not so nice and even got to work as a singer - touring and with other artists in different capacities and even in wardrobe all starting out as an extra. Central casting and other background casting agencies. It’s a great way to get your foot in the door and learn on set etiquette and just how production works if you have never been on a set before .

Also remember that with some auditions, yes, they'll be looking for skills and what catches attention is your appearance. If you look similar to what they have in mind for the character you are going for. That's why you hear stories sometimes of actors going for a certain character, but that actually fit another character way better

As someone whose done extra/background work before I love it! My parents both work in film and since I was 7 I’ve been occasionally doing background 1. Get to miss school (there is tutoring sometimes) 2. Get paid 100-300$ really depends how long you’re doing it and what your doing 3. Very fun - there lots of fun background once I got to just ride a carrousel for 1 hour or be in a period show and I got to wear a fancy dress etc 4. Free food craft food can suck sometimes but there lots of it and craft trucks there’s tons of junk food 😉 5. Very EASY you really don’t have to do anything it’s normally just walking or pretending to talk to someone

You see I’ve always wanted to be an actor but I am only you but this has shown me so much I can’t even explain how thankful I am

it makes me sad because ive been acting since i was 5 practicing , taking notes ect. But my mom wont invest in me. ppl come up to me and my mom telling her to put me in acting ect. But she never does we literally have so many connections to the industry. I always beg her but she ignores, but when it comes to my brother she always tries to invest in him but he doesnt want to do it. :( it sucks when your parents dont believe in ur abilities. your videos are helping me get through this tough time Im gonna keep trying and not give up ... pray 4 me

Hello how can I contact u?

OMG I'm so early thank you for everything you do and you inspire me to be an actor

I’ve been wanting to be an actress since I was 5 and sitting down watching all the fun things they get to do and all the friends and people they meet. I knew this would be what I wanted to do. My other option was an influencer or singer. I’ve always had a love for acting, singing, and dancing.

I really want to become an actress. if it ever happens, its thanks to you and Jordan Fisher. he’s my idol and my favorite actor, so watching his technique and how confident he is on set really encourages me. and your tips are so helpful, I’ve even written some down. if I ever become an actor, you guys will be in my heart!

I love your videos Makayla they’ve helped me so much!

Hey girl you are really an inspiration 😌 Ily and I appreciate everything you are doing to keep us on the know 😊

i wanna just say thank you without this video i wouldn't of got my first job as an extra in an MGM film starring Tiffany Haddish. (also in post-production rn ;)) I drove 12 hours from Michigan to Atlanta Georgia to stay about the whole month of February. After I left I was so sad and didn't want it to end but when I left I knew this is what I wanted to do as my career I just love the atmosphere of it all and the energy and learning everything just ahhh. It truly put a smile on my face and made me feel almost at home if that makes sense. The only struggle right now is finding stuff here in michigan the film industry has been dead here for almost 5 years now so it's really hard not to many places here offer much so the only thing I can think of doing is trying to leave michigan when I can afford it

So I actually went on a casting call before and I made it to the next round. Never had time though to do it and that the classes were REALLY expensive. I’m not sure if I had to do the classes or not but it was great to be noticed by a big company

i love how while Makayla is helping us tremendously and explaining all the approaches, she's just being herself, being funny here and there and through out the entire video, there hasn't been even one thought in my mind if i wanted to click off. Thanks so much Makayla, you are such a huge help, and you also keep going with your acting career! Love your videos and can't wait for your next video. Thanks so so much, awesome job ❤️❤️

Makayla ! You’re a real one for this ! Thank you 🙏🏿 love your content! Keep it coming 💪🏿

Thanks so much for giving us the information that we don't always get! Thanks so much, and good luck to you Makayla!

Hey Makayla, I just want to thank you for boosting my confidence in pursuing acting. Btw, I'm from the Philippines but I've been dying for a long time to become an actor, not with the intension of fame but it's just my passion and I really want to pursue it so badly but I think it's not possible for now since I am in the Philippines, that is why I am dreaming to go to LA or wherever in America soon as I finished my college degree huhu, I will never lose hope because this is my dream and I will my climb my way to top step by step

No lie! these videos really be helping me as an upcoming actor! Thank you Makayla!💯🙏🏾

I'm an actress and just got a side part in a broadway show. Its amazing because one of my dads friends is a makeup artist for Lord Of The Rings (Shot in New Zealand, I am in New Zealand) She got me an audition and I got the part! This video was very helpful. I haven't made it as far as TV yet. Haha. But hopefully one day! ♥️ Thank you so much ☺️

I really needed this video. I been following your channel for awhile now, and it’s amazing. Been wanting to be an an actress since I was a little girl, and being a young adult. I am still trying to achieve that huge goal of mine. Good luck to everyone else who’s trying to make it as an actor/actress, y’all got this! Keep thinking positive and keep working hard.

Hey Makala! Thanks for posting this video; all of these tips are super helpful! I'm hoping to launch my acting career soon (want to continue acting classes before I make the next big step!)

Amazing advice! Ive never acted (other than school plays) but I’ve done background acting a couple of times, and want to get more serious about getting roles. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you sm makayla! Its always been my dream to be an actor ever since i was a little girl, and i have a good bit of theater experience, so ive been trying to achieve my goals recently! This really helped me. Thanks. :D

Makayla! You’re so inspiring! Im an actor a few years older than you in LA still seeking reps. You’re videos being such great info and light. Thank you for what you do!

Thank you so much Makayla for making videos. It is my dream to be on Broadway and to just perform and act. Your tips and tricks help so much. 💙💙💙💙

tysm i've seriously been trying to find a good website to find auditions, this helped so so much!

I love your videos they are so helpful, i just wondered if you could do one, giving a basic run down on the differences of working on a TV set and a film set, and what to expect. It would be great to know so that we have a better understanding off all the differences in the film and TV industry. again thank you so so much your videos have helped me so much, recently i had a summer school and a professional TV actor complemented me on my self tape, after using your tips! which means the world and i have you to thank for that!!

just found your account and all i can say is wow. i’ve noticed that these days, everything is a competition, especially in big professions with fame involved. the fact that your videos help out other people who are trying to become actors and actresses instead of hiding how you work towards your success is inspiringly selfless. i myself am currently doing tons of research since i’ve recently been taking steps toward my hopefully future “career” of acting, i’ve always enjoyed it but didn’t think i’d ever actually do something about it because of the type of people in the industries. so many adults and even younger actors/actresses are selfish when it comes to advice or help with others who want to make it. like i said, it’s a big competition. but you genuinely want to see people succeed, and you enjoy acting, i admire that a lot, and i feel the exact same way. it’s all a difficult journey, but your videos are extremely helpful when it comes to finding out what i have to do. i wish the best of luck for your career, thank you for everything you’re doing for your subscribers, and if i ever book a nice role, it will all be due to your help. keep on being an amazing human being, and amazing things will come your way.
