Default Re: first time viewing myself on film,(scared)

Congrats on the work!

As far as seeing yourself for the first time, most people I know tend to get nervous or self conscious when it comes to things like that. My guess is that you will have a similar response to seeing yourself as you did when you first heard yourself recorded.

It just sounds a little funny.

The thing is, we spend most of our lives looking at ourselves from the front angle only, like in a mirror. When you start seeing yourself from all the different angles, it CAN look a little odd at first, but you'll get used to it.

In regards to the performance, try not to dwell on it, whether good or bad. If you don't like what you see, just remember that it's not a reflection on you and no matter how good it is, there is always room for improvement. Just know that you will improve with time and experience.

If you like it though, you're tickled pink. Revel in it and take that confidence into your next audition!
