Melissa, this was really good. You delivered the scene in such a grounded, real way and it felt honest and present, and that’s always what we’re aiming for. Great work here.

Moving forward, I’d just love to see you relax into it a bit more and don’t feel like you need to push anything or “perform” it. You already have the truth of the moment, now just trust it and let it breathe. Also, make sure your eye line isn’t directly into the camera. Just shift it slightly to the right or left, so it doesn’t feel like you’re speaking to the viewer.

Overall though, this was good work. You’re clearly doing the right things. Keep leaning into this kind of subtle, real storytelling.
