Really good connection and interaction with the audience, try to project a bit more, it was genuinely funny!! Good transition from funny to slightly depressing. Good tempo and rhythm 

Yes. Yes. Yes. I loved your performance was so amazing and when we were watching it from the monitor I loved hearing the audience laugh created such an amazing atmosphere and it was created by your tone and your timing when you delivered the lines. Also when there was a switch in the feeling of the monologue and you got dark you perfectly brought the mood down and made us all feel those emotions with the character. Fabulous! (CVDB)

I thought the vocals in your monologue were incredibly good, the pauses you used allowed for great comedic moments and your use of tone was very effective at conveying both the humor at the beginning and the tonal shift near the end. As for the physicality, your use of gestures to go alongside the lines really made it feel like you were looking in a mirror, although after the tone got serious the gestures stopped, and because you weren't moving around the space it felt quite stagnant. But overall it showed how effective you are as an actor, great job. (SB)

I really liked your use of vocal skills and gestures. It really added to the comedic effect. I think you used pause very effectively, allowing the audience to take in what you have said. I think you used space well given the content of your monologue and the range of movement in allowed, but I think using more space would have been more effective- but understand that your monologue may not have made a lot of room for purposeful motivated movements.

I thought there was a really nice connection to the character that helped convey a truthfulness to the monologue that was very effective. I also liked the change in tone and physicality half way through which successfully conveyed her change in emotion.  I understand you couldn't really use the space and I don't think it is necessary to but maybe add some levels by siting on a chair a one point as this would add a bit of variation.  Well Done!

I thought the monologue was a lovely choice. You are very good at delivering comedy, as you are also a really funny person. I think that this worked really well in your monologue, as it allowed for the audience to connect with you and laugh with you. Well done! (SMG)

You had great delivery and you chose a great monologue which suited you so well. You also had great use of space and facial expressions. To improve I would suggest using more space on stage and work on your projection as it was sometimes difficult to hear you. Overall great job! (SU)
