What I liked

The story about trying to break into the sights of a director would have have been a lot more interesting had it not been so over-acted from the very beginning.

What I didn't like

Let your frustration build so we see why you are at your wit’s end.

My overall impression

Asta Leigh was obviously enthusiastic about her play, but she started out screaming and carrying on at level 10 and kept it that way for the entire time she was onstage. It’s very difficult to stay at that level for so long, and when there finally was a moment where she broke down emotionally, its impact was lessened due to all the screaming that had been going on for almost an hour. Learn to adjust your levels and start at a less hectic pace and volume in order to grow your audience’s interest in the story.
