I will not be giving feedback for these as I am not an acting coach, just want to open a way to practice! :) 

Savage Universal 53" Paper Backdrop Giveaway is open to all in the USA, no international territories. Winner will be announced via the community tab on August 1st, 2021 at 10AM PST. This is not sponsored but they are providing the paper!
