Really great Kaylee! I liked your emotion and the pace. Your empathy was quite good as well. The only thing I’d change, and I know it’s a small thing, but I’d move your hair out of the way. It’s a bit distracting and it might throw the casting directors off a bit. Other than that, well done!

Pretty good Dave. I’d like to see a little stronger moment before, and move your eye line just a bit closer to camera. You had a nice use of your space. Maybe take a bit more time (not much) but a bit more at the top before you start your dialogue, but all in all it was pretty good.

Really nice Stepan. I liked how simple you were. I would take a bit more time before you tell her you saw jamie at the movies with someone else. Just a little more hesitation there would be good, but I liked your performance.
Well done!

Very nice Cindy.
Moving forward I would use a bit more energy and be a little more “matter of fact” I did like your empathy, but just pull it back a bit. Less is always more on these things. Always think how you would deliver this news to a friend. When you’re not sure about something, always fall back on being a real person in a real place having a real experience.
You’re doing great! Keep up the good work.
Happy Holidays!!

Tank! I like your subtle glances and the inflection in your voice. It really adds to the feeling of the scene.

Really great job here Leslie! I love how you took your time with it. I liked your volume and how unsure you were about the situation. It seemed very real and grounded.
Things I would change moving forward, is I’d raise my camera up a bit so it’s more eye lever. I’d exit frame on one of the takes, and maybe look around a bit to be more grounded in your environment. We can also go over this in the next Zoom meeting.
Nice job! 👏 -

Good read Leslie. Yeah, I would not have the reader moving so much, which made shadows in your background. Your read and your performance was very good and simple. Well done! 👏🏽

Great Alex. Very simple and grounded. Nice work on this one. On a second take maybe take your eye line other places and make it more difficult to look your friend in the eye. Be a bit more uncomfortable.
Well done.
