She's 18, but she grew up too fast. She's older than her years. Em's voice is deep and smooth, she's a tenor. She's a ball of nerves who's soft-spoken and always running from her past. She's thoughtful, cares too much and has learned to pick her battles. She suffers from a few mental disorders but doesn't let them define her. She's not very good at people, so she tends to run over her words. SHE HAS A STUTTER? DO THE STUTTER?

  • It's not my fault you're pretty- that's not what I mean- not to say you're not pretty or anything, cause you definetely are- I mean- uhm I'll stop talking now

  • Quit apologizing, it doesn’t matter as long as you’re okay. *mutters* Labrat’s to blame anyway.

  • *to Granite* What I did? Ha! You pressured her into testing an unknown substance and then managed to give her an overdose! You really don’t care about her, you soulless little shit! (Ari enters behind them and sees Em pissed, she takes a defensive stance and points her water gun at Em.) *to Ari* Oh, for the love of- not you too! You were the sane one! We discussed Salem a few days ago, for Christ sake- (beat) A monster... I'm not a monster... I'M NOT A MONST-AAAAAAH (They fire.)

Great job! Great emotion! I love your take on her voice. I have a few notes for that last little monologue. I didn't include this for simplicity sake but I feel if you took it into consideration, it would enhance your already strong performance. What's happening in that scene is that Em is at gunpoint. Gran and Ari have water guns and surprise surprise, someone gets her face partially melted off. That's what the end screeching is. Also the transitions in that monologue where the dashes are is where she interrupts herself. She's trying to appeal to the rational sides of her assailants. When Ari appears, she's exasperated by the fact that the one she thought was sane is also trying to kill her. And then after Christ sake Granite mumbles that Ari isn't the monster here. There should be a beat there, where Em takes that in. I want you to react to that as though someone who has been nothing but terrible to you is saying that you're worse than they are using a word that you've been labeled with your whole life. The best kind of acting comes from what you feel, so just try that. Thanks for taking the time to audition, I appreciate your efforts.

    Thank you! That makes quite a bit of sense! I appreciate any critics to make my performance better! If you'd like, I'll audition again?
