ActressLove what you brought to this character - a mix of being coy, curious, and flirty. I really liked how you established your space, specifically with your eye direction. When your scene partner asked for an Old Fashioned - I could "see" the waiter in that moment. Well done, Tania Joy!

FilmmakerIt’s weird to say that I felt “chemistry” in a tape with just one character on screen – but I really did! The laughs and smiles really made it look like a connection happened between these two characters. I would’ve liked to see, at the beginning, a bit more hesitance to engage in conversation with the guy… considering where her headspace was at. All in all this was a solid tape and a very welcoming interpretation of the character! Enjoyed it.

ActorYou did an awesome job on this. I loved the fact that you had a bubbly personality when carrying the conversation.
I couldn't tell but it sounded like your reader was on a recording and not live. If so, I would recommend getting a live reader. It's something I have been working on as I have gotten feedback on that as well.
I look forward to seeing you do many other characters!

ActorExcellent work Tania! Loved how you were busy on your phone then decided to put it down as the conversation progressed. Your connection with your scene partner was great!
A couple of thoughts to consider - Might tighten your shot to mid chest so we can see your face better - and consider moving your eyeline a little closer to the camera.
Just my 2 cents! Great job!
