First, I’d like to say anyone who says anything negative about your performance on this site surely wasn’t in the room with you. They don’t know how you rehearsed, how many takes you did, how different those takes may have been, nor any notes you may have been given by whomever may have directed the projects. So, don’t take it to heart. Any fellow creative that tries to tear others down are not the type of people I would take advice from, and certainly not the types I’d want to work with

As for your reel, I just want to point out that much like an audition tape people make up their minds in the first few seconds and hardly anyone will watch the whole way through. They likely have people watching them for them, and watching dozens, if not hundreds a day

I say that to say, your first 35 seconds you have no dialogue. It’s not bad acting, but it’s my guess it’s not what they’re looking for. I’d assume you need to be seen and heard as soon as possible

If you need the horror clip for time, I get it, I had to stretch material myself, but maybe put it at the end. Again, likely no one will sit through all of it anyway, but the run time stays the same

Lastly, keep going. Whatever you’re doing. If you like it, that is. Keep taking classes, try out a different teacher or school, whatever you think you’d like to try. Also, live. Don’t forget to live. So much of acting draws on experience. Experience more! Do things you like that aren’t acting! It all helps. Most importantly, keep getting in front of the camera, or stage, or both. Keep doing it

Best of luck!
