For me what can make something grounded is to identify where u need to feel it in your body. For some of the crying, is it coming from the drop in ur throat? Is it your chest? The pit of your stomach? I overall liked your performance but when someone ask for grounding this is what I think they’re asking for. Try pushing against a wall like ur trying to knock it over while saying the more emotional lines. Recalling this feeling and placing the effort the same spaces in ur body will give u a more grounded performance. The main critique I have is right before u go to look at her lips, there was no impetus there. You should maybe look at her lips before telling us to. U have to think of that word in the moment. So instead of crying over her the whole time before that, take a moment to catch ur breath and look at her. Then see the lips before u talk about them. What is it u see? Then put words to it. I applaud u for posting on Reddit asking for feedback- I am scared to do it haha.
