ActressBuild the environment in your imagination and live within that world - i.e. this is a kitchen setting. Move in it like it's a kitchen instead of just coming into frame and looking towards your reader anticipating his lines. think of your mindset walking into this situation instead of just 'turning it on" when you enter the frame. Try less to "Show" the emotions and aim to feel them in your gut, they will surface without forcing it. Get familiar with incorporating props naturally. right at your reach doesn't read as believable. I see your progress!!

ActorGood job Amanda! All around it is a good tape. Here are a coupler of notes. You get sort of included with the backdrop with it being dark and your shirt dark. Your towel throw is a bit off of your eyeline, unless you are aiming at his feet. Can't wait to see your next one!

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!

ActressHey Amanda! Nice tape :) It felt a bit "performancy" or rehearsed so maybe keep working on being really natural. The goal is to stop acting and just be :)

ActressAmanda,
Good job. You did well coming in with good energy and nice handling of the towel throw. I liked your framing and angles and we could hear you and your reader very well. Good delivery. Well done.
