Photos: Woman goes live on Facebook to slash her wrist after fight with boyfriend

Emergency services were called at around 01:30am on Friday April 21, to a housing estate in Pattaya to help a 32-year-old Thai lady who had slashed her wrist live on Facebook.
The incident occurred in the victims house on the outskirts of central Pattaya. When the emergency services arrived, she had already lost a lot of blood, and was crying uncontrollably.

Emergency treatment was needed at the scene to stop the flow of blood, before it was considered safe enough to transfer her to a local hospital for further treatment and recovery. She was found with her boyfriend at the house.

After interviewing the boyfriend, police found that earlier in the night, the pair of them had been fighting and after a few abusive words, the boyfriend stormed out. Not long after, he became aware that his girlfriend was live on Facebook and was slashing her own wrist for the world to see.

He rushed home to find a blood stained mattress and his girlfriend in a lot of pain. He immediately called for emergency assistance.

Acting Tips

The ISOBLOGGERS Acting Team alongside with Casting Director Danielle Eskinazi, 
shares the top five mistakes actors make in auditions.

1. Material. Never assume the copy will be easy or unsubstantial enough for you to “wing it” or cold read at the audition. It shows the casting director that you are not taking the audition seriously, and we would rather have given the appointment to someone else who wanted the job more than you.

2. Punctuality. Never arrive late or assume there is a “window” for you to fit into, unless your agent has instructed you otherwise. Scheduling auditions involves a very complex grid of variables, and it’s important to be respectful of that. Arriving late – flustered and unfocused – will never land you the job.

3. Wardrobe. “My agent just called me about the audition an hour ago, so I’m sorry for the way I’m dressed.” NO. You are a commercial actor, and you should expect last-minute auditions. Keep a bag in the trunk of your car with several wardrobe choices suited to the types of roles for which you are most commonly called. For example: casual lifestyle, fitness, corporate, or even a bathrobe. If you don’t have exactly what is called for (i.e. a white physician lab coat), create the essence with an oversize white button down shirt.

4. Head shot and resume. Don’t assume that you don’t need hard copies just because you’re auditioning for a commercial. Last week, I cast a commercial for a feature film director. You never know when you’ll be asked for materials, so you should always have them with you.

5. Obsessional. You have no right to question or have a side react after you have been auditioned and wasn't fixed to your desired character. Mind You, "Characters was never created for a specific person but for the most commercially creative ones."

6. Over-preparation. Do not over-rehearse your dialogue. Yes, of course, you should be prepared and make strong choices with the material. However, you must not be so attached to your choices that you can’t take direction in the room. In my workshops, I teach the importance of improve training specifically for this reason. 
Eye contact. Personally, I feel an actor should never make eye-contact while delivering sides. It feels awkward and itʼs the quickest way to get us to look away from you while you are acting. Your safest bet is to look into the camera lens, unless we tell you otherwise.

Avoid these common mistakes and you will be more confident walking into the audition. Now, go get the job!
