FilmmakerReally liked the volume you brought with your voice. Many actors have trouble getting loud when necessary. While I typically say that props/costumes don't book roles - in this situation your setup is solid and helps!
The biggest detractor was the near 100% straight eye contact with the camera. Didn't seem appropriate for this unhinged character. Made me wonder if you were reading lines from a teleprompter - which distracts from the performance. Also, most lines felt like a rehearsed speech from the character instead of a madman ranting. Varied pacing and tonal delivery would help.
