Adamisajoker for The head guard
Tony, put him in the recovery position. I'm goin' outside to call for some paramedics.
The timing is good. Maybe on the slower end of perfect. Though the emotion is a little low for my liking. I know that your take shows realistic levels of emotion, but realistic levels don't work very well, even in the most hyper-realistic films. Audiences like characters who's emotions they can read.
Emotions are harder to read if they're too realistic? I'm not sure what you mean. And if the emotion is a little low that's just how I read it. There weren't any exclamation points so it didn't feel very urgent. I can do another take if you want.
I reserve exclamation points for yelling. (If you ever see one in one of my auditions/submissions, first visit all your neighbours and let them know there will be some loud noises coming from your house, and not to worry. Otherwise, you don't have a hope of landing the part.) As soon as the word "paramedic" is involved, it's ALWAYS urgent. "The recovery position" is a way of placing someone unconscious down safely so they don't choke on their own tongue. Between "paramedics" and "recovery position", there is a big clue that everything is urgent. Now, in real life, I know people who can be that calm and cool when there is blood everywhere, and the paramedics are coming for an unconscious person. Being that calm and cool is probably why he got the job in the first place. But calm and cool doesn't work so well for a performance, because it confuses the audience as to if it's a calm and cool situation or not. Had you cast earlier, sure, resubmit away. But the deadline is passed, and I've already picked someone.
