Dharu as Kylie
Character Description
Kylie is a modern teenage girl. She's a little snotty, thinks she knows everything, and couldn't be bothered to smile. However, it's a facade and not a good one. She is smart, and doesn't hide it. She's the kind of kid who gets straight A's and pretends like she doesn't care.
She wants what is best for her dad and her family but has a hard time expressing it without coming off like a brat. She is willing to make hard decisions to make her point, but would rather just be a teenager who doesn't have to act like a parent.
Scene Description
Michael (40) and his daughter Kylie (16) have an argument over the previous night's experience. Kylie went to watch movies at a friends house, drank 3 alcoholic spritz waters, and came home drunk.
The two have a dynamic that's on thin ice as it is. Michael is having a type of mid-life crisis, recently divorced, and is trying to "find himself" by diving into his lost masculinity. Kylie is actually a good kid at heart, but can't stand how her dad is behaving, and is pushing the envelope. On top of all this, a creature in the woods is haunting the property.

ActressYour read "felt" real. It had good depth of emotion, just a few tech notes. Keep phone in landscape, use a backdrop (sheet or curtain can work), dedicated mic, lighting (even a ring light), have a reader so we can hear both sides of the conversation. Stand a little bit more still and have your eyeline closer to the camera without looking right at the camera. Your feelings were there, just keep practicing. You're doing great! Take a look at some audition tapes on youtube to get an idea of how they should look and sound.
