Melissa - Helen Perris

Back in early 2008, there was a production company that auditioned for various projects via online video auditions. It was a really great experience to get feedback on performances by people in the industry. Unfortunately, the company went bust and the website is no more. I've decided to upload these auditions to show firstly how far I've come as an actress since then and secondly to show more of my range.

This project was about a dating agency, so there were video introductions for each character. We were free to interpret the characters as we chose. With Melissa, we were encouraged to improvise our own tricks for her to perform. The dodgy Hawaiian dance, handstand and related dialogue were my additions to the script.

Melissa was essentially me on a sugar high. Was she crazy enough to be too full on for the guys? I guess that is up to you.
