ActressMake sure you are putting the camera at eye level. Most self tapes are shot from nips (mid chest) to tip (of your head) so we can see your beautiful eyes which tell the real story!!!

ActressBarbara,
Really well done. I liked your delivery and energy. You had good timing and cadence in your voice. I really liked that you left completely to get the coffee and entered naturally! (I've noticed some of us struggled with that move, myself included.) You were the most natural with it so far. Careful of your eyes, you handled the towel well, however after you threw it, your eyes were in a different place altogether. You also could have added a little agitated movement to support the feelings of agitation. It was a strong portrayal. Great job.

ActorGood job Barbara! I liked the energy you brought. It's OK to talk into space as you rant, try to lock your eyes in on the other character as much as you can. Try to make the "getting of the coffee cup" as quick as possible. Nice work!
