Talent Tip of the Week

Did you enter the Cold Read Competition? For some talent contestants, this is the Competition that makes them the most nervous. Relax! Your Cold Read does not need to be memorized. You'll need to glance at your script and pick up as much of the line as possible. This will enable you to have eye contact with the professional actor you'll be reading opposite. Show your reactions with your facial expressions as you listen to the other actor read his/her lines.
