This Looked Like Acting — And That’s Bad

Six actors. One viral monologue. And a casting-style breakdown that shows you exactly why some reads pop… and others get skipped. In this episode, Hollywood writer/producer and acting coach Mike Soccio reviews six self-tapes performing the same “If I block you…” monologue (pulled from a real Instagram post). Mike scores each actor using five core criteria: honoring the script, ownership, same-but-different, technique, and believability—the exact buckets that decide callbacks in the real world. You’ll see why pace and eye line can quietly sink an otherwise solid audition, how levels and intention instantly create watchability, and why a few bold, specific choices (like Patch’s character framing) can separate a “good” tape from a must-replay performance. Mike also reveals the original viral video that inspired the monologue—so you can compare what “real” looks like versus “acted.” If you’re an actor, this is a practical guide to making stronger self-tapes fast—without overthinking it. Watch, learn, and tell us: Who deserved the callback? #acting #audition #selftape #actingcoach #monologue #actors #casting #hollywood #actortraining #oncamera
