Full details of homework is on Closing Credits
Hey handsome - yes, you were missed - thanks for making up for your missed work. Love za-za - so cute. Some nice confidence in the way you said your name - I would need just your slate/name and you'd have a great slate there. First script - I love all these choices you're making - you've got the right idea, but some of it is a bit over the top for a spot like this - so just finding the balance - at the same time I love that you took these risks. This is the place to do it. 2nd copy - you had some really good delivery moments here. I love that you take your time to think and you can hear that - and also I hear that in your regular conversation, so it's actually a part of your being. What's interesting is it takes me a long time to get people to sound like you're thinking while you're speaking and it's actually VERY natural for you. But you're a deep person - you emote beautifully. The negative is that you take too much time sometimes so it breaks up the copy with lots of dead pauses, so I would use editing to tighten that stuff up. I like that you take your time to think - but I would also need you to be able to match quick reads and time codes - every industry can lend itself to that. Love your depth of emotion - you are so raw. Thank you for always sharing and bringing YOU to the table. Look forward to hearing your range in this because not everything can feel like you - so we will gradually work on multiple characters/personalities that won't feel as thoughtful as you are - or speak faster than you do, or aren't as deep etc. we know your strengths, so we will keep working on our weaknesses as well. Thanks zach
