Her acting has improved a lot (Pan Am)

I've always liked Ashley! I think she's charismatic and poised and smart. She's made a name for herself, is getting huge modeling gigs and making many magazine covers and it's all out of practically nothing. That's quite admirable. I must admit though, I always thought her acting was mediocre at best and even cringe worthy at times. But I have to say watching her on Pan Am left me pleasantly surprised! She has obviously worked on her acting and her delivery is so much better now. You can still sense a bit of camera consciousness here and there, but overall she's really good. There's definitely still a lot of room for improvement, and I especially think she could use coaching sessions to better modulate her voice. It's naturally small and high pitched and it comes off funny on camera, LOL. But really, she may not be naturally talented, but she's working on those skill. Kudos, Ashley!

I agree, she was really good. She mostly lacks experience in my opinion. She basically had nothing to her resume before Twilight and now people are expecting her to carry movies and play leads. She missed out on the stage most young actors go through where they try theater and work on indies and smaller projects and grow as actors sans the pressure and high expectations. You need that to break the camera fear/anxiety/consciousness or whatever you want to call it. That's what she suffers from most, I think. Sometimes it's just so obvious how nervous she is about the whole thing.

That sounds more like Kristen Stewart than Ashley Greene.

I completely agree with the OP.
