AH. youre amazing D: i am audtioning for a pacsso play. :P so, im gunna try to take some of the things from the way you acted if thats ok :P

Not a problem! We all "borrow" from actors we admire... it's totally normal and I believe that part of how we improve is to observe other performers and just observing people in general. Break a leg on your audition!

Who are you? You're awesome! I will watch more after I finish writing this compliment.

[caseoddity]

I am Melanie Case! Or Melanie Salazar Case! That's who I am. Thanks for watching!

Very great, i would say though, during your monologue to move your hands more and use the stage more.

[caseoddity]

I appreciate the feedback. The reason I did not use my hands more was because I got a note from someone NOT to gesticulate that much. I'm Colombian, so I use my hands when I talk. Also, in my song I use the stage and I chose to be more grounded in the monologue as a contrast. I try to make different physical choices in addition to contrasting material for maximum variety. Thanks for watching!

This was great! I am auditioning for the Baltimore Theater alliance on Monday now I have an idea of what to do and how to perform my pieces.

[caseoddity]

Yozi6414- Glad it could be of help! This is why I categorized the video under "education." I am a theater and audition coach and we really need to demystify this process. What pieces are you performing? Break a leg!

so excited for you lady!
