ActorGood job! Nice work with the glasses. Barely a lighting glare. I liked your pace and delivery.

ActressLoved this read Pablo! Natural, easy, your eyes aren’t focused on Hannah which certainly makes it believable! Very good in my humble opinion!

ActressPablo,
Great job. I enjoyed what you did. I did wish I could have caught your eyes a little more. Perhaps raising the book would have helped? Just a thought. You did very well. I enjoyed the connection with the person even though she didn't respond.
Well done.

ActorGreat Job Pablo! I liked the part when you were reading the book a lot, it was funny.
You are probably gonna hear this alot but one of the main things I would say is eyelines. You were looking down a lot and I wanted to see more of your eyes to feel more connected to the scene. but great job man, I was excited to watch this one, it looked very interesting. good job with that. keep it up man!

ActressHi Pablo, I enjoyed your audition! You have a great down-to-earth quality that contrasts nicely with your authoritative look. One note: There were two lines that didn't quite make sense since they were different from the script. For example, it sounded like the doctor struggled with both phonics and dyslexia, whereas the script says he knows phonics but struggles with dyslexia. The last line is that no one else would know Hannah was struggling, not that Hannah would not know she was struggling. Those changes make a big difference! Hope this is helpful!

ActressThis was a strong performance Pablo.
Normally I prefer a flat background (because I get easily distracted looking at details and want to focus solely on performance) however, in this case, I love it. It was a good choice to set the scene.
I also really like how you positioned yourself for this scene.
You portrayed depth to the character without being overly dramatic. Good glow and great use of props. Outstanding job!
