ActorGood job! Very natural delivery. I'm not sure if I want to hear more of a gear shift after the line "We have suffered a great lose". Because here he is trying to encourage the American public to continue the mission. I think you did a nice job with it. Just thinking of a possible choice. Nice technical elements of lights, sound, and frame.

ActressYou look and sound presidential and love your hand gestures. I would pause on certain words so that the audience can feel the impact of this loss. There is a little smirk at the end which kind of confuses me as now I am thinking we accomplished the launch instead of it being a tragic accident, so I would stay solemn. (You might have tried to sound hopeful so I get that) Other than that you have it :)
Cari Riley
ActressThis is really good work! Since it is a longer monologue, adding a few physical adjustments will help break up the text and keep everyone completely locked in. I did notice your hand movement and wanted even more of that energy to really feel the passion. Leaning slightly into the camera at key moments would also create a great connection. Keep up the good work!
Marlee Michelle
ActressI really liked your take on the scene. It sounded very presidential and had a good cadence to the scene. I felt like I was watching a presidential address.
Becky Bartlett
ActressSolid take, Clint! I felt your compassion for the situation and viewers, while delivering your address believably as President. Wardrobe spot on as well!
Deborah Roby
ActressTechnically excellent! I think it needed more emotional gravitas, as a president feeling the weight of sending people to their doom in the name of progress. You could work some dynamics into your voice or add a little vocal fry to show the stress behind the words. But lighting, sound, set-up, costume, all well done!
Dale Norman Green
Actor | WriterIm a fan of your work, Clint, but my only suggestion on this one is Slow Down - feel what you're saying.
Love ya, brother.
Benjamin Dane
ActorReally enjoyed this straightforward approach to this delivery. It was reassuring, calm, and presidential. You have to be believable as a president, and it was there. I only wish you had shown even a sliver of emotion at some point. But strong and solid. Great work, my friend!
Elisabeth Paige
ActressWow! President Hankison. You've got my vote! This was so well done. So believable, I hung on ever word. The pacing was perfect and the leadership, compassion and reassurance was palpable! Great Job!
Rachael Brown
ActressClint, good job.
If I had to give any constructive criticism it would be that I would've liked to see a pause or two to honor the fallen men.
You're wardrobe choice was excelent and looked nice. Good job.
Chris Marks
ActorYou pulled this one off very nicely

Well done.
