Good job! I liked the compassion in your delivery. Lighting, sound, and framing were good. Nice use of the book without over using it.

Clint, I really like the tone of your voice and the friendly demeanor you gave dr. Olstead.
Not that it's super important, but I'd love to see you with a colored background, I think it would make you stand out even more.
Back to your audition, I've watched so many of this particular scene that I almost know it by heart. That being said, you are the first person I've seen turn the book to Hannah and relate in a more personal way with her. It was a great choice to lean in and emphasize "we".
Overall, good job!

Nice work, Clint. This is one of the very best self-tape setups I've seen on ActorBay. You could easily book a role like this. The only acting suggestion I'd have is to try a take where the laughter while 'reading' the book is much more introspective. You're not laughing at the text but at the circumstance. But a very good audition and you'd definitely get a callback (if we still did those).

Hi Clint! Great affectionate disposition for your character, and awesome pacing of the dialogue. It really looked like you studying your notes, not just like you were flipping pages! Terrific work, I enjoyed watching!

Great 'bedside manner'. I believed you in the role. Suggestion: take your time, dont rush

Nice job Clint! Well done keeping your eyes up even when the book can into play. Very down to earth, honest performance. Well done sir!

Always great to see your work, Clint! Your technical set up is very good with lighting, sound, and eye line. I could feel you truly engaging the girl, and I liked how you leaned in to connect with her at the end. Keep it up!

Hey Clint!
Your friendly therapist take on Dr. Olstead sent a little smile my way.
Rather than the life-wearied therapist in yet another stand-off with this patient, you saw someone Jesus could love with patience and kindness. Your patient therapist is very encouraging and gives hope for what someone would hope to expect a therapist to show. This is also a great way to display the kind of content we really want to see on ActorBay.
Your visuals are really clean in a soft way, perfect for this character.
I look forward to seeing more of your work. Well done!

Clint,
That was great. I really liked your compassion and empathy with the patient. Your smile and relaxed nature really drew me in. I really liked your use of the book as instructed in the side. It was natural and realistic. The only thing I think would improve was if we had more of your reaction at the end, it just cut off after the line a little too soon for me. I wanted more time with your character to watch what her reaction was in your eyes. It was very good.

You had me hooked at the that first laugh. It was so natural. Really good! I can see you portraying these types of roles very easily.
