ActressBuddy.... bravo!
I'm not sure that the writer will appreciate the story building but I really enjoyed it! The gruff voice, the shirt, props and the pictures - wow.
I can tell you spent a lot of time (and I'm assuming some nostalgia from your own past) to make sure Mr. Oz was an authenitic character. Bold choices with the ad-lib, and it worked!
Lastly I loved the way you closed the scene. Well done.
September 2026Way to stay blocked and centered. Great use of props without causing a distraction, and I enjoyed the subtle facial expressions. Overall, a great submission, keep it up!

ActressGreat job. Your framing and reader were both great. I love your facial expressions, but at times I feel they are a little too exaggerated and you could work on being a bit more subtle with them. Overall, I feel your read was sincere though.

ActressGood job on this take! Your lines were down well, but I’d love to hear a bit more inflection and vocal variety next time. I wonder what would happen if you experimented with playing up your character's energy to keep the scene's momentum flowing—if the flat delivery was a specific acting choice, try leaning into contrasting emotional shifts so it grabs the audience's attention right away!

ActressYou had fun with the role with the pics, t-shirt & delivery. You made it your own. Great reader. Give them some props! One thing I suggest is staying on script since your writer chose these words & is also a judge. I would use this as a second take if a casting director says to “have fun with it.” You added your creativity to it. Not all actors can do that. Make sure they know you can do it as written. Your creativity may inspire the writer, but writers also love what they wrote. It’s a balance. Sometimes the subtext/behavior is how we play with the words, ex your mic idea. Great set up!
