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.
Lara B Thats bad advice. You want to be so off book that the lines come to you effortlessly. That way you are free to take the scene anywhere you like on the fly
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. :)
@@haniyachauhdury2017 I have been asking for a few years now so here's what I learned: try to convince whatever parent has more "Power" first. Make a list of pros to acting and cons but with the cons make them have something about them that is good about that con and turn it around. And ask to take acting lessons to see if it's something you really wanna do. Acting Comedy studio has really good classes that i'm taking. Also show your parents that you are passionate about it. And if they still keep saying no, watch acting videos online and learn that way and keep asking,don't give up! luckily, the good news is that when you turn 18 your parents have no control over if you do it or not soo that's a plus!
The amount of knowledge I learn from your videos Is insane. Especially with everything online, your channel is an awesome tool for both the seasoned and newbie actor looking to stay immersed in the craft, thank you!!
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.
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 🙏🏾
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!
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!
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!
wow congrats and can you tell me how did you ask your parents to let you do acting can you give me some tips it would really make me happy and congrats again 🥰🥰
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. ❤️❤️
cheer squad ! also, this video is so.. insightful, like even as i’m taking acting classes in college, i have yet to see this technique when analyzing scripts so this is so helpful omg ;;
You are so talented! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience, everything that you’re saying aligns perfectly with what my acting coach teaches me, but it’s cool to have it from the perspective of a working young actress👏🏼👌🏼
I’m so happy that RU-vid recommend me your video, I want to be an actress and the pandemic made everything more hard, in November I finish high school and your channel was a light on the dark for me, it’s so hard to find those kinda of content that your videos have. Thank you so much, queen!!!!!!
I would loove to see you take these notes that you showed us and actually perform the scene using them! I think it would be really effective to put what you’re showing us on paper into action! This vid was super helpful!! ❤️🥰
I am so excited for when Makayla hits 50k. She deserves it so much! She is so helpful and I wish more people knew about her!!! She is great! Love ya Makayla!
Also...that self tape and sending it to you would be literally amazing your input would help me so much I’ve never even tried to act I just have this gut feeling that’s what I want to do
I printed out and broke down the script with Denise and Jack. I memorized my lines and then performed it in front of my mom and dad. It was my first time performing my acting in front of ANYONE instead of just doing scenes by myself and in my head. Anyways, they said I did really good! (And they’re the type of people to tell me if I did poorly lol) Thank you Makayla for providing an opportunity for me to show my potential to someone!
I have been wanting to do acting for some years now. I once acted out a Minute Maid ad and a little modeling at one of those city popups. But now I really want to learn everything to prepare me for acting. And I just found someone who can help, Thank you Makayla just earned another subscriber!
Noooooo my secret has been revealed 😭 Just kidding! This is awesome that she knows how to do this. It’s very important for acting. Thank you for sharing this with people Makayla! 💗

I just read the Pharmacy scene of your script and it's great! I'm going to print it out later and work on it. This video helped me so much. I understand now what most of the text means in the script. Thank you so much!
Okay, this needs to be a series! I would watch these allll day! Do you have the self tape of you shooting these sides? would love to see the from script to screen process of these sides!
I'm 11 years old but I DONT know were to start. I've been wanting to do this job since I was 7, every now and then my little brother and I would perform skits in front of my family. I have no experience of acting even though I have been in a few plays. My mom is looking for an agent and an audition for a movie, well a sequel to a Robert Rodriguez film We Can Be Heroes 2 since I loved the first one. Maybe some little help for my mom and I. Not only is this a dream It's my passion and a passion I will stick with forever. Thanks a lot for being somebody I look up to!!
I wanna get into acting and I don’t now how to practice memorizing lines do you now enything I could do? Also I love your videos soo soooooo much there so helpful 🤪😀😃😃😃😃😆😊
I really wanted to be an actress and this is the youtuber that I was finding 😌 And question, do you still do watch other people acting like in insta and like react to them? Cause I'm thinking of making a vid and I wanna ask someone if it's fine or what are the things I need improve 😅😅
I am so glad she did this bc I have no experience and I have never seen a script that looked so accurate meaning google didn't really help me out with the situation so yh thx lmao:)
How the FLIP was that sitcom so good!? I thoroughly enjoyed it! Makayla you're everything girl. I am also a aspiring actress and screen writer, so thanks so much!
I recently got into my drama club at school and were doing scenes from the movie elf in front of the class (drama club class) and this *rlly* helped I’ve got some of it down just I can’t get some parts right but I’m so excited!! 😆😆

Omg Makayla, this is literally the Sacred Graal of acting!! I’m so grateful you did this video, you don’t know how helpful you’re being 🥺🥺🥺 Thanks girl! (Subscribed, liked and about to share xx)
