Hi Mandy members!

I just filmed my first ever self-tape monologue. I would really appreciate any feedback or advice so I can improve my performances in the future :)

Hi Saaj

Thank you for allowing us to see your monologue, I enjoyed watching. One tip - I think it's better to film in landscape than portrait. Your performance had a couple of really nice true moments, but I wasn't sure what your character wanted out of the conversation, did he want to save the relationship? Maybe it would help if you had the character's goal in your head, alongside what might be stopping him from achieving that goal, and allow those drivers to influence the performance. You look great on film.

all the best for the future

Hi Linda,

Thanks so much for taking the time out to watch my monologue! I really appreciate the advice. This was an improvised piece which explains the lack of direction for my character's motive at times. Next time I will use the character's goal to better influence my performance!

Thanks again,
Saaj
