ActressFantastic job Susan! I loved the range you showed in emotion you played, it definitely felt like a quick roller coaster going on. And I was fearful for your husband's life with his last line 🤣 great delivery on your last one!

ActressSusan,
You are so good! I know that's kind of like stating the obvious, but sometimes we need to hear it. You had good energy and a nice transition when he calmed you down with a joke. I especially liked that you didn't use a towel, that seemed an awkward move for self-tape and that was a nice touch the way you handled it. Great job!

ActressGood job! You clearly had your lines down perfectly, and your eye lines were excellent. You're doing some really solid work here—keep it up!

ActorAwesome Susan! Very believable. Your emotion and movement was great. Your husband just added himself to that hit list! 😂 Great work!

ActressSusan, this popped off right from the start! We all know a Kayla (as you portrayed her) and that gave her a certain familiarity and likability.
I wish I could hear the reader a little better, I had to go back and listen closely to see what was being said before I understood your reaction to it. By the end of the scene it was fine.
The choice to play this scene so emotionally made it seem urgent and raw and honestly made me curious to know what that girl had done?!?
The end, while you wagged your finger to caution a correction was gold! Good job.

ActorGood job Susan! The frustration was all there. Especially when you jump your readers line in the middle, so good. So do you have a mic for every color of your wardrobe? lol Your audio was great. You did have one small mic brush when you first came in. However it kind of added to the frustration. Excellent choice of adding the line at the end instead of throwing something around your equipment. Always a pleasure watching your clips.
