okay heres some tips for doing the tapes:
1. take a couple of deep breaths before u do it...it helps keep u calm
2. have someone just press the button to start and stop it and have them leave the room, its usualy easier by yourself.
3. make sure that they can see your entire face without part of your head cut off. and it would prabably help for them 2 see part of your body 2.
4. speak slowly and clearly.... if meggie stuttered the shadow might come out as a basset hound.
5. SMILE when you introduce yourself.
6. pause when necessary.
7. think about your you announciate the words.... and how they come out as your saying them.
8. wear something that looks good on you. black looks good on camera.
9. make sure 2 have nothing behind you. posters, treadmills, stuff like that. you dont want anything 2 distract from you.
10. do a couple of takes so that you have something to choose from.
11. wear your hair down so that the casting agents know what your hair looks like, plus if its back sometimes it looks like u dont have hair.
12. practice the monologue a couple of times before you shoot.
13. try to act but don't overact, don't act like you want to win a daytime emmy.
14. if your going 2 wear makeup keep it light, they will want 2 see your face... so try to just keep it to coverup and blush (to make your face brighter on camera)
thats all i can think of now. write any more suggestions!

thank u! yeah Insa is Cornelia's sister, she takes care of Cornelia's website. i'm not wearing any makeup either, that was just a suggestion for people who have acne that they might not want everyone 2 see.

Cool lol! We must have the same sort of mind!
I decided not to do the Shadow extract because a lot of people from IMDB are doing that!
