Narin, you've kept a steady pace throughout which is crucial so that we retain all the information however we felt that the improvisation part to your audition sent you into a totally different direction. It's always important to keep the control so that the audience don't get lost in what's happening. Theyr'e relying on you as the guiding force!

Narin, where you did great in this audition was capturing the moment Elaine realises that the product is quite useful and it impresses her - great transformation and very comical. The down-side was that your Elaine sometimes sounded like she couldn't be bothered to talk to her audience properly. We think this was your interpretation of the awkward, charisma-free side of Elaine, but we think she would try! Some very strong moments here, well done.

Narin, you didn't quite have enough fun here we felt - there were moments you were unique (lovely surreal moment with the bottle impression, and some yoga for visual impact), but you missed the first line of the brief - 'bundle of energy'. We grant you it's not easy - you always need to control your performance, even with this kind of brief, otherwise you'll just turn into a big bag of meaningless noise, but we felt you went the other way if anything - maybe you were guarding against an excess of energy too much? Nice moments then, but really commit to the brief next audition, and as we've noted before, watch out for making yourself appear too intense with your eyes.

Narin, you've tried very hard on the accent, there is a definite European flair to you which works really well with the look you have adopted. We're missing a bit of natural fun vibe that young presenters give off, but otherwise, this is good work.

Narin, we thought the accent was just right, but overall we felt that there was life and energy lacking from the audition here. Debbie is very intense and owns the conversation - we did not feel this would be the case with your performance. In future, we think you could really push this further and achieve good results.

Narin, this audition was one of the hardest so it is good to see you try out for it - however performing as a deaf person is very difficult to do, and we felt that you did not convince us here despite your very earnest attempt. Good try.

Narin, you've done well with some of the fundamental characterisations of Evelyn, in fact one of the few that actually had a decent go at the forthright element of this role (so you certainly deserve a pat on the back for that), but what mainly lets you down are some of the transitional moments in your delivery. In addition, watch out for your naturally intense eyes, try to learn how to control them more and put them to good and appropriate use. 

Narin, as Connie says, this a controlled performance, that is no less potent for being so. Your eyes look amazing, suggesting a terrible back story - they communicate something wild and tragic in Harifa.

Narin, there is a nice reserve to your performance here, and your unflinching gaze tells the story well.

Narin, your commitment to the character here is admirable. Your Alara is believable, and is well portrayed as a character. The drawback is that we do not feel that you hit the direction properly. Although your Alara is warm at times, she is consistently creepy and detached, in her own world. This veers her towards sinister rather than the warm and empathetic Alara that we wanted. Your cadence is very distinctive, at times it gives too much distance from Joseph, as if you were talking but not really conversing with him, in this scene it was critical that we felt your connection and observe the genesis of a special chemistry between you and Joseph. You have listened to previous feedback and acted on it with considerable effort and conviction, for which we are very impressed. There is a unique talent within you, but we feel that it needs to be coaxed out.

Narin, good range of characters. Once again you prove to be memorable and distinct, there is only one Narin!

Narin, you have really put some effort in since ST1, we are grateful for your dedication and tenacity. You truly live in Alara's skin as we asked in the last review. What you have achieved here, is perfect for one of the witches in Macbeth, and we would be proud to see you perform that on any stage. Your next step is to learn to control your intensity. Your devices of hair twiddling, face touching and lip curling are all potent, so learn to use them sparingly. Your confident menace does escalate into lost temper at one point "You people are supposed to be protecting me" which was the line not to cross, so again use restraint, let us see the confidence and feel the menace without your losing composure, that is the strength of the character here. There is a good measure of anguish carried the whole way through which is an achievement in such a wild character. So, for ST3, show us the balance, show us Alara's charm as well as her obvious things, the blindness and eccentricity are present here and you can learn to measure those, but we want to feel her warmth as well. Great effort, well done.

Narin, we love the fact that you dived headlong into this, and played the test with conviction. The big distraction was the attempt at a 'Gondwanaland' accent, don't get hung up on that, it's not important now. At the moment, there is still too much Narin in your performance, you are a tough character and so you reserve the emotions. Concentrate on Alara and live in her skin for a while. Good practice is to just talk to yourself as Alara, or if you have an understanding family talk to them in character as well, all the time exploring the character. For the next test, which has much stronger direction, we want to see a totally believable character wrapped in Narin. Good Luck.

Narin, this is a great approach, you have given us a real challenge here. We start by questioning - what's the back story? followed by a very blunt answer and a slight look of regret. There is doubtless talent here. Good Luck
