'Feral' Reviewing Team - (Caller - First Call Screentest 1)
Geoff, you cheat a little by using some previous auditions for this screen test - it always pays to do something new and fresh - every audition is an opportunity to show us another side and skill. You do vary wildly from really getting immersed in some characters, to reading from a script with little passion and soul. Keep focussed and always chose a character you like, your performance will reflect this.

Legal Seagull Reviewing Team - (J.O Screentest 1)
Geoff, we need to see more versatility in your voice. There is a consistent shout in most of your performances which at times is relevant but it needs to be interspersed with different emotion to establish a good rhythm. The comedy is clearly there so we're looking forward to seeing more auditions from you. Good effort.

'This is a Call' Reviewing Team - (Dave Grohl Screentest 1)
Geoff, your US accent definitely needs some work and this audition would have been an opportunity to see a gentler tone in your voice. You did however grasp Dave's personality and the concept of the show - well done. Keep the creative entries flowing.

ASK TV Reviewing Team - (Bernard Screentest 1)
Geoff, since reading your post about not really taking the BTMS auditioning process seriously because of the distance between you and us, we've felt very disheartened about you as a candidate. We can only take this audition, as another one that lacks sincerity. We like you very much Geoff, and if anything, please do take it seriously - if we like the talent, we'll work with it, regardless of distance.

Geoff, are you reading??? Intentionally or not, your delivery has a hilarious pomp to it which cannot help but force a smile. For Rapture, it is not well placed, but given your stock in trade is comedy, we applaud your effort and would love to see one of your shows.

Eve_Hawking and Steve_Nesbit - (Lead Role Screentest 1)
Geoff, this is a confident, but somewhat theatrical performance. There's not enough range or distinction between your characters but despite that your creative approach is clearly evident. Great effort.

Neither nor actually. No ipod. No nothing. I've got a job teaching Drama at a school out in East Auckland and just haven't really had the time to do auditions lately. If I see one that I really like the look of that I think I might have a chance of getting I will give it a go, but otherwise I have over 100 teenagers I ahve to plan lessons for. And I would still like to have at least an incey wincey bit of a social life. lol
