ActressThis performance seemed very still and straight forward, maybe a little more body language to indicate this guys "unconventional tactics". more than the gum chewing. Felt the scene was a big draggy. pick up the pace a little bit. Get your reader to come in quicker and careful on reader volume. they are almost louder than you. Framing was good and camera height was good! thank you for that technical aspect being done well!

ActorHi Victor, youi're a great type for this role and I'd buy you as this guy all the way...except for the gum. I know others may disagree, but I'd be very careful about using chewing gum. My opinion only. The one thing I think you can do to up your self tape game is to replace your backdrop with something solid and 'flat'. Standing in front of a drape will do in a pinch but it's not optimal. Your audio and lighting are fine and that puts you ahead of many I'm seeing on ActorBay. Look forward to seeing your next one.

ActressI loved your performance!! It felt so real and grounded. The only thing I’d change would be your background. It was a little distracting. Something flat and neutral would be great. But other than that, I loved what you did!

ActorGood job! I'm really not sure if I like the gum chewing or not. It adds to the character but also becomes distracting. Your background is a bit bright. I know lighting is difficult, but a bit more key light on you. Sound was good. Liked your delivery on "what we going to do with you"

ActorVictor! This was great man! The timing and your ability to capture the audience on every beat was extraordinary. Gave off real Al Pacino vibes- you made it very authentic and believable. Great Job!

ActressGood job following the script prompts with the gum! I really liked how you were subtle but there was also a little bit of sinister thrown in there. Good work!
