ActorGood stuff, I saw lots of good moments. Lighting, framing, sound, eye line, etc. were all great. Only suggestion to consider for improvement might be to switch the eye lines for the delivery guy and receptionist so we see your reactions to him a bit better. Great work!

ActressOnly adjustment I'd suggest - For Self tapes specifically - when there are 2 other characters involved. try placing them to opposite sides of the camera so your eye lines are clear for each person. When eye lines are to close together for different characters it can be a little confusing who you are talking to. But still a solid performance !

ActorAwesome job Rebekah! The technical stuff was great. Loved all of it. I could see and feel every emotion you were going through. I could see this cut and pasted into a drama (even more so than a comedy). Very nice work!
Mark Miertschin
ActorGood job! Nice light, sound, and background. I liked your expressions being reserved without being over the top. One note, the camera could have been slightly higher than eye level making you look smaller to support your bad day. Just a thought.
Bethynie Cooper
ActressThis was a great watch! I saw the exact moment in her eyes when she realized the flowers weren't for her. Awesome job!
Bryan Whorton
ActorThis was wonderful Rebekah. Very real and believable performance.

ActorThis was a great audition you performed; I thought it was inline with the character! The only issue I had was having the same female reader for Matt and Jenna. It made sense for Jenna but it was weird to have that same voice for Matt.
I know how hard it is to get a reader and then to get more than 1 for a script. If you don't know about it, I would recommend to look at WeAudition.
Great work!
