I just recognize Selina from KAOS! I first saw here from this video prepping for my self tape for LAMDA. I was just watching KAOS and saw her and thought she looked so familiar so I went on Google and it really was her!
Interesting choice to use a Shakespeare soliloquy as an example of why NOT to look straight into camera... Macbeth's address to an invisible dagger aside, most Shakespeare soliloquies use direct audience address, hence all the RSC lockdown videos with actors looking straight down the barrel of the lens to appeal direct to us. It may be a drama school preference to avoid this - but with Shakespeare it's not breaking the 4th wall, because the 4th wall didn't exist in his drama.
