Tip for Aspiring actors/actresses

Don’t always remember lines in your head they way you want it to be. Read them out loud normally so you can deliver in any way possible. If you memorise it a certain way, that will be your only way you’re saying it. You cannot alter the emotion or tone, it’s just going to sound they way you wanted it to be.

Break Down of Script
1. Print Script
2. Highlight your characters name and dialogue
3. Underline scene notes about your specific character
4. Circle action notes
5. Make notes of any arc changes (mood changes)
6. Write out priorities in the scene
7. Read it over and hear what's in your head.. make notes of body language, mood changes, eye changes.. etc


Thanks, Makayla! love this video... Will be waiting for the union/non-union vid :😊

I have always wanted to start acting but didn't know how to start. last night, I had an allergic reaction and had to go to the ER because I couldn't breathe. I decided that life is to short for me to keep saying I will do it tomorrow your channel has helped me a lot with learning how to act and I just want to say thank you. :)

[letoth]

Okay, this was an amazing breakdown and SUPER helpful…but can we also just talk about Maykala’s screenwriting skills for a minute? Like the way she wove in so many details is such a short scene and how it felt so down to earth?!
THANK YOU MAYKALA, YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!

As a cheerleader myself when I was saying the lines for Harper I was doing motions ( The movements we do when cheering ) and using my Pepe cheer voice.

[yetus]

I was praticting with makayla as she did the script and i felt this sudden wave of energy expand my senses and it made me realise of how much i want to become an actress. I didnt think i could do this before but now i believe that i can. I wont know what im capable of unless i try so thank you makayla. I know this industry is hard to get into, thousands of us want this and want to make it into a professional carrer but listen up. If you want this, do it, live life without regrets and work for what you love. There will always be failures but the fact is that you try. Trying is all it takes to reach somewhere. I hope i can get to act with yall one day and maybe even become good friends. Cant wait to see you guys up their on the big screen. Cheering u on!

I’ve had some amazing auditions, but felt like I didn’t get a full grip of the scene. Just watched this and feel like I’m ready to tackle the world now! ✨ Thank you frfr 🙏🏾

[SabrinaOlivera]

This was really helpful. Especially adding the little symbols by the lines, I usually just try and remember where I want to drag stuff out etc. Making it hard on myself😂 Loved the video!

[Michtingz]

I literally got the courage to ask my parents to let me do acting. For now just voice acting bc I have bad asthma (and it’s COVID) my mom said she’ll look into back stage and my dad said whatever I want to do they’ll support me. I’m so excited 😆 thanks Makayla!

[tiaaquilina]

Wow. Girl yoi are so beautiful and talented. You should get a Grammy. Like. Your singing is like an angel singing in the whistling wind. Your acting is so professional and your script writing is so unique. Love you sm. Thank you for all your help. Hopefully one day I will be confident enough to send you a self audition. ❤️❤️
