Cody,
Good job with the lines and the energy. You might want to work on slowing down and taking time with the transitions. Have the thoughts and emotions so we can see them. Also, make sure you watch where your eyes are going. Your reader seemed to move and at one point you looked directly at the camera, which only works in VERY FEW select roles. Try to angle your camera down a little better so you have less headroom above your head. Well done.

strong tape. Just try to move your eye line a little further from the actual camera lens. Careful not to spike the camera - it's like breaking the 4th wall in theater but in film. Let the camera be like a silent observer to the conversation. Also, allow for the ending to not end so abruptly. we want to see a moment after as this scene dissolves. It can be an expression, a sigh, a word just let the moment organically happen at the end without the abrupt camera cut

Great job with this scene! I appreciated this take on the scene. I would just caution to slow down the pacing a bit but I loved your take on the character, he felt very brazen and then the turn at the end was very nice. Nicely done.

Good work! I liked the initial flippant attitude. Make sure you react to what the other character in the scene is saying and doing, as if it’s your first time ever hearing it (because in that world, it is). Take your time answering, this is a heavy scene. Really nice self-tape, I look very much forward to see more from you!

Good job! Nice emotional shift remembering rehab. Give a little self realization on the last line. The "neither do I" should have some weight.

Good things here. There is a difference in realizing something is wrong and visualizing how it will affect your life-the latter is the stronger choice. "I can't go back" is your chance to see all the other times you were in rehab and how many inexcusable things your witnessed which probably caused you to relapse-again. Your off camera reader was tight-huge plus. It's a heavy and intense scene but don't go so fast that you miss the moments where bad news is delivered and that makes you vulnerable. "later" means much later-what happened in between that made you realize your career is over?

Cody,
For starters, you have a young Leonardo Dicraprio/ Christian Slater vibe. You definitely fit the bill for the look of Jared.
The line "it was suffocating" was a little on the theatrical side (nothing wrong with that, just an observation.
I liked the choice to point your finger and show how full of angst the character was.
I loved the transistion you made for the charcter when he goes from entitled to scared and way you delivered the line "WHAT" was one of the most authentic things I've seen in a while. Well done!
