Style Hacks for Every Guy Out There

Hey guys welcome back to my channel for another episode of street style I wanted to do a style hacks episode because I haven’t done one in quite some time and a lot of you really enjoyed the last episode and thought there were some pretty useful tips there so I compiled a list of three that I think are pretty unique the first tip is for taller guys now I get a lot of questions about some of you who are like 6 feet to like 6 foot 4 inches kind of in that range it’s tough to find shirts back and fit and one tip that I’ve always you know suggested to people is that if you’re taller by a long line shirt to fit as though it was a regular fit so for instance if I were to buy something that was a long line because I’m 510 it’s going to look longer proportionally speaking it’s going to go past my waist and that’s the point.

 

But if you’re taller and have a long torso and you’re finding it you can’t find regular fits going longline can actually fit as proportionally as a regular fit would on say myself searched long line on google go to like websites like a sauce and you know you’d be surprised what you can find and a lot of guys who have told this step – I’ve really found it pretty useful second tip employs a little bit of science and color depth perception that some of you guys may have never even thought about some of you don’t really know that I took psychology and international foreign affairs in university we talked about human motivation cognitive neuroscience and color perception is really interesting especially when it comes to fashion because a lot of brains market using specific colors to appeal to specific emotions and when it comes to wanting to look leaner and look taller color-blocking very specifically can do a really great job of that so for instance let’s say you want to look taller I’m 510 one of my biggest issues with wearing clothing is that sometimes I can appear short based on what I’m wearing and the goal is not to do that so what I would do is let’s say I’m wearing dark black pants the goal would be to wear black shoes accordingly because what it does for the eye psychologically speaking is elongates your body naturally if I were to wear like blue jeans let’s say like camel boots or a different kind of colored shoe at color blocks your body in two sections so visually speaking you ultimately look shorter because your eye is only seeing the length of your pants up until the point that it’s cut off from the shoe.

 

Whereas if you’re wearing all one color naturally your eye makes you it appear that that person looks taller especially when people are shooting photos that’s how a lot of shorter guys look taller than the we are the same can be some when you’re wearing a different colored belt you automatically break your body into sections right so those sections become measured against different areas of your body so if you feel you look short go all one color the last tip is for a lot of guys who are looking to purchase Blazers especially off the rack some of you guys have never really tailored something before gotten it tailored and a really good indicator that it needs to be tailored is if you take the blazer put it on and stand next to a wall in the store fit on the shoulder is kind of a key indicator whether or not a blazer is going to fit so for instance if your shoulder pad touches the wall before the rest of your arm then you know it’s too big it needs to be tailored but if your sleeve and your shoulder pad are in parallel with the wall at the same time and actually touch together then you know you’re working with the same shoulder fit you might have to tailor the waist if it’s a little bit too big but the goal is to fit on your shoulders if a blazer is too big on your shoulders this ultimately knocking to a fit because your waist size can change if you pay take the end seam and get that tailored so for those of you looking to purchase off the rack that standing wall tip has worked for me on so many occasions.

 

Hopefully some of these tips helped you guys out they’re a little different than not stuff that you would typically think of but they’ve helped me in stores especially when I’m doing fashion photography or working with brands think that will help many of you who are you know may be self-conscious about your height or want to appear leaner color perception really changes the way you look at clothing and it’s definitely one of the reasons I wear specific shades or colors and pair them up accordingly if you enjoyed today’s video please let me know in the comment box below by giving this video a like and let me know what other hacks you want me to discuss in future videos and make sure to check out today’s download of the day in the description box below and maybe I’ll see you in a dance floor or runway somewhere peace

Acting Basics: Crying

Acting

 

Hello beautiful people my name is Gemma  and I post new videos every Monday, Wednesday and Friday including a lot of  acting videos like this one so today  we’re going to be talking about how to  make yourself fake cry in 10 seconds and  I guess if you’re making yourself cry  it’s not fake cry but you know what I  mean that I’ve made a video on this  previously and you can click anywhere on  my face or in the description bar below  to watch that one but that’s on a  completely different technique than that  than this one and that one takes a lot  longer so first I’m going to teach you  guys the idea behind the exercise and  how to do the exercise and what you  should be thinking and doing and stuff  with your body and then I’m going to  demonstrate it for you so you can see  how exactly this exercise works if you  can do this on the first try that’s  amazing but if you can’t don’t be  discouraged don’t be disappointed  because it takes some practice for some  people to learn how to effectively make  themselves cry so quickly so I learned  this theory from penny Templeton who is  my acting coach now we have acting  sessions over Skype and she also has a  book that talks a lot about this  technique along with a ton of other  information.

 

So I’m gonna like her  website down below if you’re interested  in getting private coaching for acting  or reading her book so you can check  that up so this is called the ten to one method basically and it means that  you’re gonna be counting from ten all  the way to one and by the time you get  to one you’re going to be you know  having tears now before we start this  exercise I do want to reiterate that in  acting it’s not always about making  physical tears come out it’s about  portraying emotion and if you think  about what we usually do when we cried  usually you’re not just you don’t just  burst into tears usually you’re trying  not to cry so a lot of times in acting  it’s more powerful to look like you are  trying not to cry so this is really what  this exercise is kind of honing and I’d  like I said you’re going to be counting  backwards from ten to one.

 

Take  about one second for each number that  you’re on so the rough outline goes like  this ten is going to be ecstatic full of  joy five is when the sadness hits you  and then one is when you’re at your  complete most devastated most sad state  so this is what you’re gonna be feeling  every second basically ten the most  ecstatic nine extremely extremely happy  eight a little bit less happy but you’re  still joyful seven you know you’re happy  or content six you’re gonna hit you know  it kind of a neutral phase and then when  you hit five this is when the sadness is  going to hit you but you want a sad  substitute just like you had a happy  happy substitute that is you know a real  a real  a real memory a person a place that  makes you really happy you want that  same thing for your sad substitute so  the idea is that from 5:00 on down you  are trying harder and harder to hold  back the sadness that with every number  is pulling down even more and you’re  feeling it even more but while that’s  happening you’re kind of soft and it’s  optioning like your face and your body  the more relaxed your face is in your  body is the more the emotions will be  able to come out so five the bottom hits  four three two all of those steps you  know you have to think of the sadness as  a gravity of sorts that is just pulling  it you down more with every number  you’re feeling more and more sad and  once you get to two in one um you can  kind of let the tears come if they won’t  if you know they’re happening with your  breathing but um if there’s no tears  coming out don’t force them because you  know in that case at least you have  emotion that’s going to be coming out in  your face and in your eyes.

 

Okay so now  I’m going to demonstrate it for you  basically what’s going to happen so I  don’t have to interrupt my process what  I am doing this to tell you guys I’m  gonna think of my happy substitute and  then I’m just going to begin with ten  and go down to one and show you guys you  know what it looks like so I’m super  zoomed on my face that you can see what  happens when I do that I wanna they  might have been doing what I’m doing  okay ten nine eight seven six  five four three two one  um so as you can see I got its here and  come out um you know the one is really  kind of just the start of the tears you  really have to let it be the most of a  second point that’s kind of the breaking  point that’s kind of where tears are  going to come after that  but now that I’m effectively really sad  and there’s not running out of my nose  but that reminds me don’t do anything  that’s going to inhibit you know the  process don’t snort your snot back up  just let it come out it’s natural it  happens um don’t swallow your spit don’t.

 

You know do things that are going to  distract you from you know relaxing your  body and thinking it in your brain and  stuff like that so yeah um if you have  any further questions let me know ask me  some questions down below in the  comments and like I said go check out my  acting coach her website in her book her  book has tons and tons of helpful things  like this and she’s a good great acting  coach so 1002 I recommend so yeah thank  you guys so much for watching subscribe  if you aren’t already because I make a  lot of videos like this and I will see  you next time  bye

Acting 101

Acting

Hi actors it’s Wendy Lane right talent  manager at waw entertainment in Los  Angeles California and I’m going to talk  to you for a minute about what acting is  because I think there is a huge  disconnect between people who want to be  an actor and actors so let’s just start  by saying acting is not pretending  acting is not getting up on stage and  pretending to be something pretending to  have a feeling  pretending to respond to someone or  pretending to say something to someone  pretending to feel something or  pretending to be angry acting is being  those things acting is being angry being  sad being happy being loving being  afraid being concerned while you are  basically speaking the lines that  someone else has written so what is not  real is that the words are not the words  are written by someone else they’re not  organic to your present moment  you’re not if that writer wasn’t there  writing it you wouldn’t be saying it  you’d be saying whatever it is you  really feel that you really are  experiencing but as an actor someone  else is writing the words and you are  reading those words learning those words  and now you have to put them into the  part of you that is I don’t say that you  have to bring those words through a  human being to life they have to come  through the human feeling.

 

The human  emotion that you have within you  so that they become real so that they  land on a person who’s listening they  can’t just be written on a piece of  paper and then you say them otherwise  that’s very robotic that’s that’s  reciting a line they actually have to  come through you as the instrument you  as an actor are the instrument and the  words have to come through the human  instrument and come out as a human being  would say it as a human being would feel  it as a human being would experience it  and a human being experiences genuine  emotion and then says how they feel or  think experiences genuine reaction to  something and then says how they feel or  think or they pull away because of how  they feel or think so your job as an  actor is to hear those words that the  writers written and then make a  character come to life like decide okay  who is this person this person where do  they come from how do they feel what’s  happened in their life that’s made them  who they are what do they want out of  their life what do they want out of that  moment that you are talking with someone  what do what are they afraid of you have  to invent all those things you have to  think about like say you get a script  and you know you have words on a page if  it’s an audition and you get the script  half an hour before you go in an  audition  part of what an acting class teaches you  is how to break down a script and make  those choices when you hear the word  choices.

You’re talking about things like  how old is this character where did they  just come from before they had this  moment that’s on the page what are they  afraid of what do they want what do they  need more than anything in the world  what’s what are they upset about if they  don’t get what they need what’s going to  happen to them because human beings are  driven by five  your love need and want they are either  in fear of something losing something  and fear they might not get something  that they want they are searching for  love so human beings are living from  those places so when you create a  character which is somebody else’s idea  of of whatever they’ve written you have  to figure out okay now how do I make  this character human I have to figure  out what they want what they love what  they fear what they need and then I have  to make decisions about that so let’s  say the line is you know I’m I really  need your help on this um I can’t do  this by myself  I really need your help it is not going  to work if you just say it I really need  your help on this aside really need your  help you have to think about and the  choices are if I don’t get their help I  am going to be kicked out of my house  and that is that that then becomes kind  of desperation that you get their help  that’s a choice you make that makes the  way you say it completely different then  I need your help  which is just I need your help that just  means nothing but if you are thinking I  need your help because I am NOT going to  have any place to live in a couple days  if you don’t help me I’m going to be on  the street like literally you have to  imagine I’m gonna have to bring the few  things I have and put them down here on  the street and sit out here by myself  because I’ll have no place to go because  there’s no one else for me and I really  need your help I can’t do this by myself  that’s how you make a choice that fuels  the emotion of what you’re saying you’re  not gonna cry and ruin my makeup  but you have to feel those things I mean  it’s using your imagination yes but it’s  also you know seeing what would happen  to you if you didn’t get their help  because once you see what would happen  to you if you didn’t get their help  it becomes urgent for you to get their  help and the way you say the line  becomes real the way because you feel it  acting is feeling real emotion in  made-up circumstances.

 

So let’s say you  change the way you say completely what  if you don’t need their help at all what  if like your help is the last thing I  need oh yeah I really need your help  yeah I need your help like I need a hole  in the head  okay um I really yeah I really need your  help you make a choice that this person  really doesn’t need their help this  person is the most unhelpful person on  the face of the earth they’ve never been  helpful and in fact you’re angered that  they haven’t been helpful you know what  I need your help I can’t do it without  you  you’ve made a decision now to be  circuits make the decision to be  sarcastic it just comes out sarcastic  because you’re thinking the thoughts of  the character the thoughts of the  character is what you’re supposed to be  thinking when you’re acting not your own  personal thoughts okay you’re thinking  ah the person I’m talking to right now  is an asshole okay I’ve asked for their  help before they never give it to me  they’ve let me down over and over and  over again this person is the most  disappointing person in the world and  now you’re gonna ask for my help  ah yes I do I need your help

 

Huh I’m  never gonna be able to do it without you  I’m lost without you cuz that’s how  important you are to me cuz you are like  you know the Sun sets on you the Sun  rises on you you your help would mean  everything to me once you choose who you  are in relationship to that person that  you’re talking to an Essene who is that  person to you how have they treated you  in the past what do you feel about that  person that changes how you say the line  so the process of becoming an actor the  process of training is to teach you how  to make those choices it’s not to stand  up and here’s what the huge  misconception is some people think that  being an actor means hi I’m just me I  walk into the room I say the line and I  just use my own personality that is not  how you work as an actor obviously  you’re your own person you can’t bring  someone else into the room I mean you’re  gonna bring you in the room but the work  of an actor is to sit down with a script  and make decisions very deep decisions  that go on and on and on it’s layer  after layer after layer of decision um I  can go further than that I need your  help so bad that if I don’t get it I  might die but I don’t want you to know  that so the first decision is I’m  desperate for your help and I’m  panicking inside because if I don’t get  that help something really bad is gonna  happen to me a lot of times you see a  movie and somebody needs something  really bad or someone else is going to  kill them  that is only believable if the person  doing the acting is really feeling those  emotions if they didn’t feel those  emotions you wouldn’t feel those  emotions so if I say I really need your  help because my you know and I know that  my life is in danger if I don’t get it  but I don’t want to tell  now the next layer is.

 

I’m pretending I  don’t feel that way so the first choice  is I have to determine what I need from  you and why it’s important and how  desperate I need it and then the other  choices but I don’t want you to know  that so I’m going to feel those things  but then I’m going to cover them up  because then a human in real life that’s  what we do we feel emotions and then we  cover them up so other people can’t see  them so when you’re in acting class you  you will learn all those tools and  techniques for determining who your  character is  and then other you know as you continue  to develop the character maybe the  character is a lisp maybe the character  has a short temper and every time they  get angry they do they do something you  know they clench and then they try to  calm themselves down  you know maybe they they have a nervous  laugh they have a tic whatever you can  actually you know um design this human  being by watching other human beings by  watching what human beings do how human  beings behave how human beings act how  human beings react you’ve got to become  very present to how human beings express  themselves and then you can you know you  can pick some of those and put them into  the into the moments into the scenes but  they’ve got to be organic they genuinely  have to come from a real feeling within  yourself so I have a couple of tools  when I’m acting that I use because like  Sid say say after a really sad scene my  emotions are pretty available to me so I  can get to my emotions rather quickly I  can also think about a moment that  really makes me sad in my life  and  I’m not even tell you what that moment  is but I know what it is so I could be  saying you know Beverly Hills Donna and  thinking about this thing that I’m  thinking about and when I say Beverly  Hills Donna I’m it’s not even about what  I’m saying.

 

it’s about what I’m feeling  and human beings react to each other’s  feelings even on a subconscious level  it’s not every communication we have as  human beings is not conscious if I am  feeling something that energy is going  to come out and you’re going to respond  to my feeling you’re not going to  respond to my words you’re going to  respond to how my energy is how I’m  feeling if I say I’m just fine but you  feel that I’m not your reaction isn’t  going to be oh okay you’re just fine  you’re feeling that I’m not fine so your  reaction is going to still be are you  sure because I don’t think you’re okay  I don’t think you’re fine I’m feeling  that you’re not fine so I again want to  offer my help to you because I don’t  believe you and so we communicate with  people on a subconscious level how you  feel is expressed in your body and your  reactions are expressed from the way you  feel will show up on your face you know  if you someone says something offensive  to you your reaction is going to show up  on your face then you’re going to  realize that you just showed people what  you thought and you’re going to try to  cover it up someone’s going to see a  real reaction and be like oh my god  if there’s just so much going on  subconsciously okay so acting is about  being aware of all of those they  that make us human beings and tapping  into the truth of how we really feel and  really react and really think and what  we really need and then putting them to  words that you know I could read them  newspaper and be thinking about  something very sad and you’ll see it in  my eyes you’ll hear it in my voice  you’ll see it in my expressions in my my  energy you will feel my sadness and I  could be reading numbers or reading  talking about cars and you will start  crying because you are relating to the  feeling I’m having sometimes you know  listening to the words people say you’re  just really paying attention to how they  feel.

 

so an actor has to become really  good at getting in touch with their  feelings and what what method acting  teaches you is to get so specific about  the time you had a feeling let’s say you  were sad and not everybody has to go  through all that I don’t need to get  into all the sin of this century every  single thing that happened in the room  that day in order to get me to that  feeling but you know sometimes the more  you dig deeper into where that feeling  came from the more real it gets but I  get so I understand why method acting  works but method acting is like say you  had a really bad day not only should you  remember what caused you to have that  bad day but where were you when you were  having that bad day where were you  sitting what room were you in what was  in the room with you was her sound was  there light was there music was there  heat was there cold and recreate the  whole experience so that your memory is  so triggered that it triggers the  emotion that even sometimes just seeing  the painting on the wall that you were  looking at while you were sitting in  that chair having that bad day just  seeing the image of the picture triggers  that emotion and then later when you’re  working as  actor in the scene or on stage or in an  audition you can just picture the wall  and that picture and bring it right back  and since memory is what it’s called  that’s what method acting teaches and  that’s that’s a very deep technique that  you take years training and learning how  to do going through your own life your  own experiences and coming up with your  own emotions and then really remembering  the circumstances surrounding it and  some actors don’t believe in that.

 

I  think Spencer Tracy was like you know  forget met sense memory and Stanislavski  and all that crap just just just go in  there and do it so you know some actors  get to their process differently that’s  why I always suggest take acting classes  with lots of different teachers because  some teacher you take may teach you a  technique that really works for you and  brings out these emotions in you that  you can call on when you’re doing a  scene and another technique by network  for you and one technique works better  than the other and so you might have to  try different techniques to find what  works for you that’s why it’s believed  it’s okay just say oh I took an acting  class and now I want to be an actor you  have no concept of what it is to be an  actor after one acting class you don’t  have any concept about what it is to be  an actor after watching this video  you’ve got to go practice it you’ve got  to go study with you have an idea you  heard some stories and some things I  said but you’ve got to live it you’ve  got to live it and practice it and  experience it and do it yourself that’s  why the theatre is so amazing because  and the combination of taking theater  taking acting classes and doing theatre  if you are in Missouri Montana Florida  Oregon Texas Pennsylvania Russia Germany.

 

I don’t care where you are if you want  to be an actor you’ve got to start  taking acting classes wherever you are  right this minute  right in whatever town you’re in you’ve  got to start taking acting classes and  start working on your process of  learning how to recall and bring up your  own true genuine emotions and figure out  how to get those to come out when you  need a  and you need to start practicing that on  stage in front of an audience when  everyone’s expecting you to do it in the  theater that’s how we become stronger  actors you know every time I do this the  video always captures my screen shot as  this way but that’s you know you’ve got  a train in class and then do plays and  practice you can’t say I want to be an  actor I’m moving to LA but I’ve never  done a play and I’ve never taken an  acting class how on earth will you ever  compete with people who have believed me  let me explain something to you if  you’re in the room with a great actor  and if you’re not a great actor the  difference is going to be very obvious  and why would someone hire a bad actor  when I can hire a great actor  why would someone hire a good actor when  they can hire a great actor if you’re  gonna be an actor it’s your job to  become a great actor

 

it’s your job to  learn all the techniques that you know  work for you as an actor maybe you’ll  take six months with one acting teacher  and then you’ll take six months with  another acting teacher and then you know  and my suggestion is um you know try to  find the very best teachers you can  around you and if you don’t have any  acting teachers around you and you want  to be an actor you’re gonna need to go  somewhere else and take acting classes  you know someone recently asked me you  know should I just move to LA and become  an actor what should I do  well if you are not married and don’t  have any kids and you’re free and you’re   you can go wherever the heck you want  go to Chicago for a while and study get  second city and learn some improv go to  a New York and go study at some of the  acting schools there and take an  opportunity to train with the best

 

the  better your trainer the better your  mentor the better your coach the better  you will be if you train with an average  teacher who teaches acting at the  community college and I don’t mean to  offend any teachers you know I mean not  ever but not everybody teaches at  Juilliard or  Yale Drama School in order to teach it  Yale Drama School you got to be a hell  of a good acting teacher if you could go  to a school for acting go to Yale Drama  School you know if you can’t get into  Yale Drama School go to Julliard go  someplace else okay  go to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts  in London go where the best are being  trained because that’s what you’re going  to be up against when you actually get  in an audition that’s the bottom line  that’s the truth right  and the journey starts now right where  you are right now so if you’re in a  small town and you want to be an actor  and you’re watching TV and you think oh  my god it’s so easy I’m just going to  come to LA I’m going to go on some  auditions I’m going to become an actor  I’m gonna be on TV  it totally doesn’t work that way unless  your kid  kids get in auditions real easy without  a lot of training because they’re just  kids and kids have natural access to  emotions kids have natural access to  feeling they’re spontaneous they’re not  in their head thinking they’re not  overthinking they don’t do all that  stuff kids just be they just feel as an  adult the more you get older and the  more I don’t know why it happens to  human beings but it does human beings  now start thinking too much  and it interferes with feeling

 

So for  example an actor could go into an  audition and now they’re thinking I  wonder if they’re good enough I don’t  know if I deserve to be here I hope I  did well enough I wonder what they  thought about me you know all this  nonsense that adults do interferes with  being present in the moment with feeling  your feelings and that’s why you take  acting classes to help shut that off  quiet all that nonsense in your brain  and just go back to the organic feeling  that’s what kids already have kids run  out there and they just go do it  they don’t go I wonder if someone is  watching me and if I should be in this  moment oh my god kids don’t do that they  just go in the audition room they’re  bouncing off the walls they’re  expressing in their feet  they say the lines with energy and  animation and they’re not thinking about  what people think about and they just do  what they do that’s kids that’s what  that’s why kids book stuff just based on  their natural talent but the older you  get the more training you need and the  more skill you need to overcome the  excessive self-doubt and fear and fear  of failure and fear of success and all  these other thoughts that creep in to  adults so you have to learn to how to  concentrate and focus under your  feelings and your emotions again so that  you’re not in your head because if you  go into our audition with all those  thoughts running in your head you can’t  possibly having that you can’t possibly  be having the thoughts of the character  at the exact same time and you’re really  only supposed to be thinking the  thoughts of the character if you’re  thinking the thoughts of you and  worrying about if you’re good enough or  you deserve this opportunity or if you  should be in the room and all that stuff  you can’t get the role thinking your own  thoughts you have to be thinking the  thoughts of the character that’s what  training is so important so please stop  emailing me these really stupid  questions like you’re  years old  you’re  years old do I need acting  training in order to come be an actor ?

 

Yeah absolutely  yes you you do you just need to figure  out how to be your best self as an actor  so when you get in the audition room  they’ll be great actors in the room with  you so you’ve got to become a great  actor it takes years of training to  become a great actor unless you’re a  natural and I’m not saying they don’t  exist you know I have a client who’s a  natural never took a class that as well  a couple of classes but he came out like  mega talented mega natural totally in  touch with all his emotions his feelings  and everything he does he trained  himself incredibly talented Julia  Roberts never took an acting class these  are the exceptions to the rule these are  not the norm you likely need an acting  class  trust me you actually you’re likely need  years of it and if you don’t believe me  go to an audition as if you get a role  see if you get a callback  if you if you just come to LA and go on  auditions and you don’t get callback so  you don’t get roles you’re not ready you  haven’t trained enough you don’t have  what it takes yet to compete with people  who are well-trained and who know what  they’re doing so I don’t even you know  don’t even waste your time coming to LA  until you’ve spent several years in your  own life your own hometown

 

Your own state training  and even after you get  out here you’re gonna still take classes  and never stop training so that’s a  quick introduction to the world of  acting  some of you know you a lot of you young  new people aren’t gonna believe me  you’re gonna think oh I can just go  there and show up and and just be me and  go in the audition room with my script  and I’m gonna say these lines but if you  don’t have meaning behind those lines  real human emotion and real meaning  they’re gonna mean nothing they’re gonna  bounce off the casting director the  casting directors not going to feel  anything you’re not going to feel  anything and you’re not going to get the  part and another actor is going to come  in and really know what they’re doing  and they’re going to feel it and they’re  going to express it from a deep place  that real is genuine the casting  directors going to feel that emotion and  they’re gonna get the part and if you  don’t believe me try it  see for yourself I’m not lying you’re  going to be highly disappointed if you  come all the way out here and you don’t  have any training and you can’t get  where you’re dreaming of getting you  can’t be lazy to be successful in this  business you’ve got to work really  really really hard you’ve got to take a  lot of acting classes you’ve got to read  a lot of scripts you’ve got to practice  practice practice and you have to love  acting so much that while you’re doing  all of that it doesn’t you don’t mind  doing it because you love it so much  that’s the only way you’re going to be  able to get through all the years of  training and all the hard work and all  the rejection and all the auditions that  you don’t book and for the few jobs you  booked here and there it’s because you  love it so much you would do it for free  you would do it if nobody knew who you  were  you would do it if you were never famous  you would do it if no one ever  discovered you if you could just have  the opportunity to act you have to love  it that much and when you love it that  much you’ll have a chance of having a  successful acting career okay that is  our initial conversation about acting  and I hope that you gain something  useful from that and I will be giving  you more acting advice and tips in the  future see ya
