Love this! It's so true - professional acting is a rollercoaster. Even month to month. But keeping at it and making sure you're staying strong in all the off-set aspects (networking, taking classes, updating headshots) will make you even more prepared for your next booking. Happy that the bookings you had were good ones!!

Thanks, Melissa! This was the first video I recorded with my Sony A73. I've actually had this camera for years and was using it for my headshot photography (when I was still doing that). I have better lenses for the Sony than my Canon 80D, which is what I was using before. The main reason I switched was to have a dedicated camera for KZitem and a separate dedicated camera for my self tapes. I still use the Canon 80D for self tapes.

@@ActingCareerCenter Thanks for sharing! I love the look. It’s rich & a touch moody which I personally love. I love your audition stat videos btw. I’ve been wanting to do this for myself since the first video you did a couple years ago. 😂 although this year I booked a total of 0 jobs yes, ZERO jobs lol despite so many auditions. (I did do 1 student film though so maybe not quite zero) But oddly, it’s not disappointing. I feel stronger than ever with my acting and I really focused on growing in Meisner technique this year. March will mark 2 years of consistent attendance at Houde! I start spoon rivers next week and I just completed setting up my home voiceover studio last night thanks to Keith walking me through it over zoom so I’m looking forward to 2023!!

Ive been talking up Atlanta for 2 years to everyone i know saying it might be the secret but now with two weeks till i move im getting extremely cold feet im very anxious with the strikes i feel like most of the films and tv shows that we’re filming in atlanta are moving elsewhere. Like Europe and Canada. I feel a little lost because I saved up all this time for the big move thinking i was smart. Being an actor no matter what or whhere you’re putting everything on the line but i was hoping there would still be more opportunities. Are you thinking of moving or seeing your inner actor circle thinking of going somewhere else?

It was my goal to audition for 100 jobs, but I got caught up producing my own short film, which I had to make in order for casting directors to get a better idea of my type and preference. All in all I think it was a good year. Could have gotten paid better tho. 😅

One of my agents said that if I acted more like I did for my KZitem channel, then I would get more jobs. As most of the auditions thrown my way don't asks for me to be sassy or excited, I'm a bit lost as to what they want from me. Even my in-person coach has referred me to act like my KZitem channel, but once again not all of the roles he throws at me require me to be that person. Even when they do, he breaks my acting down so much that I forget my lines because I'm so focused on the changes he made. I've adapted a bit of a F-it mind set and wait for the next assignment or audition. My agent now says that she noticed that I'm more relaxed, but they still want more RyceTV. I'm lost. Any pointers?

I watched Will Trent and I felt like screaming at the screen, "That's him. That's Kurt Yue. My first acting coach." Though, I've never met you in person and I haven't joined your virtual class, I still consider you as my first acting coach. You taught me how to break into this industry. You taught me how to find a local acting coach, which lead me to get my 2 agents, which lead me to be lead in 3 commercials. This April will mark my 1st year anniversary of being an actor. It's still the greatest job in the world, though I can't tell you how many auditions I've been on. I think I lost count in August. But, I'm learning. Learning to be patient with myself is the hardest part. However, the only way that I can get over that is by acting, so this weekend I auditioned for 3 student films. 2 of which I think I'm a shoe in for. I also, binge watched Will Trent this weekend. I absolutely love seeing you in a reoccurring role. Keep on inspiring us.
