@@MakaylaLysiak I'm going to write my own monologue and send it my question is afterwards can I do another and send it to you for more feedback. P.S Can the emotions and placing yourself into the characters shoes and while reading a script or a book you can see how the writer intended for the character to be played everything about the character the emotions, the expressions etc I'm asking bc all this just comes naturally to me practically instantly I have tons of passion for acting my goals are making a mark for myself and most importantly is bring enjoyment and happiness to people that are fans of the characters that I've done and to prove to myself and others that I have what it takes to become a actor. This is my saying Every rejection is another opportunity to excel so for me once I start auditioning and I get rejected it won't set me back it will drive me forward. Sorry it's so long I've never been given advice from an actual actor and it would mean the world to me to hear your thoughts.

I really appreciated how you critiqued your own performance when you attempted to recreate the second monologue. It highlights how genuine and honest you are as a person. I genuinely believe that you are a kind person who is here to help others and not just to boast about your own experience or to say you are a better actress than anyone else. I would love to see a part 2 to this video 💚

Keira: Good facial expressions and emotion. Very confident and engaging. Talked too fast through it, maybe because of nerves. There was no time to breathe or to make words stand out. Aubrey: Amazing that she could cry and add that to her monologue. Her voice could have been more precise, and there wasn't a lot of visual emotion shown through her facial muscles. Also her tone never changed, so it felt like there was no emotional progression, and therefore no story progression. Jack: Good performance and facial expressions. It's great that he's not afraid to show his emotion through different volume levels, made it really engaging. Although he relied on his hand gestures too much, and that really distracted me from what he was saying. Maybe out of nerves, he feels he needs to move around to keep us engaged, but I find there's more power in the stillness to show how serious a scene is. With one or two key moves to really emphasis the words.
I’ve been waiting for the day my monologue was chosen, I feel so happy and love all the supportive comments 🫶

U should defs audition!!you did soo good
here are my thoughts on each of the performers :) 1. (keira) - they have SO much potential. even just based off of that, i can tell that that monologue is a really great fit for them. i think they just need to focus on not only slowing down, but using their diction. and since it was so fast, it very felt memorized. which of course it is, but in real life, this student wouldn’t have exactly what they’re going to say to the teacher 100% planned out. so taking the time to think about what they’re going to say next makes the whole thing just feel more natural. even if it’s just a pause to catch your breath. but overall, the acting was not bad at all and will definitely feel more natural with practice, time, and playing around with different choices. great job keira! 2. (aubrey) - loveeee this monologue. even though it’s generally a sad story, it can show off a wide range of emotions. i think my critique for this one is almost the opposite of the above. when someone’s sad, (close to tears in this case) their voice changes a lot. it speeds up, slows down, gets louder and softer, cracks, etc. aubrey stayed at the same pace and volume the whole time. they definitely gave a convincing performance, and i could almost believe they were on the brink of tears. i love love loved how they did a little smile when talking about rue, it was like they were remebering a memory with her. play that up a bit more. the highs, the lows, and everything in between, especially in such an emotion-driven piece like this. overall, wonderful job aubrey! 3. (jack) - this was such a powerful monologue. when someone is fighting with someone, especially a parent or someone who means a lot to them, they usually don’t yell at them the whole time. it’s usually quiet, then talking level, then the very climax is yelling. so pick one, maybe two lines that you think are the very most important, and are the emotional climax of the fight. also, in any sort of conversation, but especially an argument, you don’t make eye contact with your counterpart the whole time. there’s a lot of looking away, looking down. etc. but overall, dang, great job ending thoughts and comments: amazing job to everyone who submitted. a general note for everyone is to take the time to think about what your character is saying. like, in the moment. 90% of the time, words don’t just come spilling out all smooth and neat. humans are awkward and messy, especially in our most emotional moments. watch lots of videos and performances of other people performing similar pieces to take note of their movements and mannerisms. amazing job to everyone!! also last thing, like mikayla said, acting and art is subjective, so these are just my opinions, and stuff i’ve picked up over time. - a fellow aspiring actor :)

Okay girl, I can’t wait to see you as a main character in a show, I know it’s gonna come because you work so hard
For the 1st one: amazing performance! Like Makayla said, the lighting needs some help-I think that she was very fast when she was saying her lines, and that she should slow them down and really give time to make facial expressions 2nd. I loved it! The tears were everything-I think she should have had more facial expressions and turning into the camera but looking to the side (What Makayla said) And more volume and tone and flavor to the voice 3rd. Omggg I loved it! I think the hand movements were a little much with the chopping, maybe pauses in between lines but not too big to create emotion and make facial expressions Overall, everybody did amazing!

My THOUGHTS (As an actor is musicals) #1: I thought she had good expressions but at some points I could only understand every other word. #2: I think she did good but I think her fake cry could use some improvement? She did a nice job making her voice sounding like she was crying, it really did make me believe she was heartbroken. #3: I think he did a good job of showing how angry he was and it really made me think he's been doing this for a while, however I think it would be better if he used less hand movements. It really distracted me from what he was saying. Anyways those were my thoughts! They all did really good, this is just my opinion.
Everyone did amazing! 💘 1. I loved how like energetic she was and I feel like she would do so god in like nikolodeon shows or series 2.i absolute y loved the emotions and the dramatic pauses 3. I loved how he moved around lots and the way he was able to transition emotions so quick

Hi Makayla! I found your channel because by a whirlwind of events I landed into a role on a friend's short film with no experience. Your videos have carried me through weeks of emotions - dread, nervousness, embarrassment, and excitement. I have found so much knowledge, comfort, and relief within your channel and the community you built. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Props to ALL THREE submitters, you already have GUTS which is more than most people have!

The FIRST monologue I felt as if she needed to take her time to get into character before doing the scene. See her surroundings and see the person she was talking too. A lot of people do that, even the people who have trained at Drama school for years. But doing so just makes the character come to life and allows you to show difference between your actual self and character.😀
You’re by far my 3rd favourite actor!! 1: Emma Watson 2: Millie BB and then you!!! YOURE AMAZING 🤩 you’re so positive and full of advice, you’re bright and beautiful, incredible actor! I’ll always come back to you, I hope to one day cast a series or movie like you!🎀💓💓

Welcome to the family🥰
I've taken some acting classes, and based off of my very un-professional training, here are the only things I found that needed help. (I wrote these without hearing Makayla's comments, then I went back to listen to her. That way, I was trying not to copy lol, but then I basically ended up. Acting's the same ig) Kiera: Talk slower. That was the only problem I found really. Aubrey: A bit more facial/head movement. I got the holding-back-tears stare, which was spot on, but I would have loved to see a little more movement. Even just looking down once. Jack: Less hand movement. Use it when needed, not for every sentence. They all did an amazing job! Really impressive, especially being so young.
And i love the critiques makayla gave!! ❤️❤️
kiera: too fast, but awesome aubrey: too much blinking (maybe i’m too critical tho-) but she did so good jack: too sharp of motions, but SO GOOD OMG
I loved watching you act when I was growing up!!! You’re so talented and I loved watching you! I can scroll through your KZread forever!! You inspired me to go into plays.

I’m starting to audition for bigger stuff because of your vids, they help so much tysm Makayla
The first thing I would say for the first monologue submission would be to slow down. There were definitely some great moments in the monologue such as the expression but just slowing down could have a huge impact on the performance. There were points where I thought the pace worked well with the dialogue but slowing down would help to make those moments stand out more.

Wow you recreating the 2nd monologue was so extraordinary
1: I love this! She’s has a talent of knowing and having that situation in her mind and trying to be in the shoes but try to be in the real shoes like you wouldnt know what to say immediately so keep that in mind for now 2:ur beautiful and ur emotion THE REALNESS ✨ OMG I WOULD TAKE U IN UR SO GOOOD OMG ITS SO DAM AMAZING IM SO IMPRESSED AHHHHHHH 3:He knows what is in and what is happening I can actually picture what’s going on the tears and his facial expression is amazing. AMAZING ✨
So exited to watch!!
I feel like for monologue #2, it would be more realistic and touch the audience more if throughout the monologue we see her slowly get more and more sad and THEN the tears come down (though i'd only do this if I genuinely feel it, we can tell when it's forced). I often hear from acting workshops that starting with a lot of emotion right off the bat isn't always the best choice (though ofc there are exceptions)

Oh my gosh, I LOVE acting and as I watched your video I was kinda thinking up this scene in my head that I would write for a monologue... It made me really excited to like try acting out that scene I made up in front of a mirror and or whatever, but I have three older brothers who don't appreciate my skillz so if they heard me I'd never hear the end of it. And besides that, I'm only 13, it's Summer, and I'm homeschooled so I NEVER get a chance to act unless I'm upset in front of people lol. But if I catch a time I'm home alone, I'll definitely try it. How did these people get these videos to you?
Are we allow to send one to you if/of when you plan to make another one of these? Your opinions and advices are so honestly strong and useful. I like making monologue ideas and wanna do them. However, I don't know how because the way I write them includes more than one character in the scene.
I’m still a beginner. I wanna be a comedian. I actually have inspiration because of you.
