3. Submission quality – Sound, lighting, tape clarity.
4. Listening – Are you hearing and being affected by whoever you’re speaking to, your scene partner or reader (real or imagined)?
5. Choices – Are you exploring the piece in order to make new and interesting choices?
6. Stillness – are you grounded in the character? Don't forget to breathe!
7. Preparation – Are the words coming up organically, or are you searching for your next line?
8. Activity – Is your character doing anything other than speaking? 
9. Privacy – are you self-conscious, aware of the camera, or living inside the world of your character?

11. Fun – the more you enjoy the process, the better your submission!
