You tackled the text extremely well and played the emotion beautifully. If this was to be used on your showreel and you have editing capabilities, I think removing the shot of the priest would be a good thing. I don’t think it’s needed or adds anything to your performance and also the lighting states appear to be…

You have immersed yourself in this and I can feel the rage seething in your every word. Just a technical note, when self-taping, try to bring the camera up to eye level so it doesn’t feel like the audience is being looked down on. Then find a nice plain wall to film against. This will ensure all the focus is on you…
