Jen, you demonstrate a great lesson in your audition to all candidates - that is despite what you need to achieve in a screen test (i.e. in this case, selling "easy reach socks") the purpose must never compromise the opportunity to show your dramatic integrity and characterization of the role. It was very smart move to keep the camera to your face, and to find different solutions to show the product. You've offered a strong audition here, however, as with many, its a little to polished, and it would have benefited from a little less professional precision. Otherwise, good work.

Jennifer, this was utterly compelling and thoroughly unique. You gave a very considered interpretation and found solutions that no one else saw, particularly the looming presence of the off-screen character. The other thing you did was act with such outstanding quality that it became amusing. Your Pauline had such truth that it became a rich performance of damaged goods. There is a danger which we suspect you considered well enough that comedy could be strangled the more real you allow her problems to become. You're one of the finest dramatic talents on this site. Excellent.

Jennifer, a great audition full of energy, subtlety and great timing. We liked the adlib touches and we really felt a very distinctive range here, with some moments of real tenderness and tragedy layered in the character as well. We think this exhibits your potential very well. Great job.

Jennifer, this is well balanced. You give the audience a chance to latch on to Alara's caring nature, and make them fear for her vulnerability. We feel at times like she is even scared of saying the words herself. You have managed an important nuance, which is to over emphasise with your eyes and forehead, this is a great technique for playing a blind person and is a powerful psychological tool for actors trying to win the love of an audience. You are one of the really few that pitched the Alara cute factor just right, and this is your masterstroke in ST3. On the downside, you are let down slightly by overplaying your responses to Joseph. Your "what, police?" broke the spell for us slightly, watch out for too much reaction as this is a very tricky balance to find when playing a character like this. Overall, your Alara is believable and empathetic, as with many, we would have preferred a hint more enthusiasm and less hesitation at the beginning, aside from that, this was a good show. To top it off, you looked wonderful on screen.

Jennifer, negatives first: This was too slow and there were times when it felt as if you were searching for your lines. Positives: This was an excellent portrayal of controlled anger and 'confident menace' it felt as though you could casually pull out a gun at any moment. At times the words are spat out with venom and a hint of sarcasm aimed directly at the policemen. You also prove your commitment by not being afraid to look ugly, that was pretty impressive makeup. Finally, you have worked wonders on your accent, give that dialect coach a bonus. This is very impressive stuff, well done. For ST3, you will get the chance to show Alara's sympathetic and even playful side. We are very much looking forward to that.

The still at the head of your clip is enough to bring pity from the audience here Jennifer. You picked up the duality and delivered it very well switching from vulnerable and frightened through to angry and clairvoyant on a sixpence. We applaud your use of body language and a prop to tear at and reflect the pain. Without a director present you still remembered the golden "stuff to do" rule. You will need to work on your accent, but you already know that. This is a thoroughly excellent clip, we look forward to seeing what you do with stronger direction on Test 2. Well done.

Jennifer, you have a very striking face, and usually such distinctive features can be limiting, but you have proven otherwise in the selection offered here. Your audition shows a very well rounded range without pretension. You have definite potential.
