ActressDaesha,
Good job submitting. It's never easy to do these self tapes, especially knowing so many will be watching. When you were standing, you were a bit fuzzy but became clear after you sat down. You might want to be careful about your tech choices between sitting & standing because the fuzziness and lighting behind you and reflected in your glasses was a bit distracting. It also felt slightly disjointed. You've got a good voice and I look forward to seeing more.

Actressdecide to sit or stand in a self tape - no need to do both. Make sure your camera is eye level for what you decide. You didn't sit until halfway in so the first part the camera was too low / looking up at you - the angle was odd and the light reflection in your glasses didn't allow me to see your eyes and any emotion going on. A few slip-ups on the script showed that you may not have been fully prepared to put the scene on tape. Competition is tough so be very connected with the material so even if you forget a word,your instincts will take over because you'll know the story.

ActorGood job! Here are some notes. At the start, don't walk off camera. The initial shot was a bit out of focus. Try to set the camera up and play to it. You did a nice job of moving from standing to sitting. So much changed between the two. Sound was clearer when you sat down. The glare in your glasses was better. The background string lights are gone. Sometimes it felt like you were not off book.
