ActorGreat job Wendy! Loved the beginning. Could easily tell whom you were speaking with based on your behavior. Great eyeline. Loved how toward the end you moved your hand behind your head signaling comfort and interest in your scene partner.
A couple of thoughts - Might tighten your shot a little more so we can see your eyes better. The audio was a little echo-y which didn't quite fit the venue of a bar. Just my 2 cents! Nice work!
Deborah Roby
ActressI liked your delivery, but I've been told not to start in profile. Let us see your whole face the whole time (yes, even though it's at a bar - good instinct, but whole face is better). :)
Also, if you listen to the lines the reader is saying and think a response in your head as the character, it will translate and your eyes will help tell your character's story.
Tiffany Underwood
ActressThis seemed really rushed. Especially your reader who I think actually cut you off. I really do not mind a start side view as long as you turn soon which is what you did. Overall, good tape.
Doug Harrison
Actorgood job. on a very small technical note: I was hearing a little of an echo.

ActressHi Wendy! Thank you so much for sharing your time and talents with us! What a great way to exercise those acting muscles, right? Way to go!
The only suggestion I'd like to make is your body placement. Having your drink and table in the middle made you and your facial expressions off-center. I found my eyes continually drifting back to the table in the center of my screen and less on you. If you were to do it again, I would suggest putting the table in front of you, making YOU the center of the screen and thus, our attention. Less props, more you.
Thank you again for your talents!
