Hey! Thanks for the audition, but a couple of notes: - "longingly" is an adjective, not particularly a verb. So it wouldn't a line exaggerated in length. To be "longing" is about a notch above a whisper (usually) that trails off. So, think seeing something mesmerizing and not really being able to speak clearly due to extreme focus or infatuation. - "Alluring" is sort of the same as what was stated previously, but it is more suggestive. Think charming. Persuasive, but not in an arrogant or conniving manner. - The last line is relaxed. Monte's character is a closeted empath. He is very heartfelt, but can sometimes come off as pious, which he uses as a coping mechanism to deflect from the aformentioned. He thinks his ability to feel warmth and to easily sympathize with those who are hurt is a weakness that he serves only to benefit those he really knows and can trust. You're more than welcome to try again! Just thought I would go back and clarify some stuff. :) Best, Shay
