Character Description

She is having to exercise patience with a difficult student while trying to put a stop to his escapades on campus.
Scene Description

ActorLoved this! You made this yours and really brought the character to life. very authentic.

ActorI loved your presence in the beginning! I was immediately intrigued by the way you walked in. I could see your character's position of power coming through in your thoughts.
Later in the scene I felt like you were not really hearing the the words that Andrew was saying. It seemed that you were anticipating when it was your turn to speak and forcing reactions based on what you thought your character might do, and not what you truly felt in the moment. Some of these reactions did not come across genuine. Focusing on really hearing his words and your personal reaction to them will help!

ActorAwesome work Elisa! Loved it all! You definitely looked the part. You were connected to your scene partner. Loved the comment at the end! Could tell you thought of him as the brat he was.
A couple of thoughts - consider tightening your frame to mid chest so we can see your face/eyes better. After he calls you "Kelly", your response seemed a little quick and not very shocked, as if you were anticipating his line.
Just my 2 cents! Great job!
