Acting 101 - How to Master Cold Readings

[@kmarbury1]

Great tip. Its just too bad that all these experts talk about how to do the cold readings, but they never give you an actual example. It would be helpful for Bruce to pick up a piece of paper and cold read with a co-actor.

[@ShubhamJhaFilms]

Hi. Could you please upload a video on shooting a dialogue scene with a single camera but with different multiple angles. You all are doing a great job 😍

So basically know the other characters lines to know cue.

[@Tommy88-]

Absolutely, that’s as important as knowing your own dialogue.

[@FavourUremz]

[@Cynsantoyo]

Possible cold read tonight. This helps, but until I practice it’s a 3 second glance😅. Thanks for this!

Great content and tips, but I'm a little confused - I have watched a number of auditions (particularly self tape auditions) where the actors just take cues while simultaneously saying their own lines from memory. I hear in this video that sides/lines shouldn't be memorised and I am just scratching my head on what really is standard acceptance. To be fair, sides that have lengthy dialogue can be quite a chore for the talent and reading while auditioning would be much preferred in that instance. I just want to know why Casting Directors are comfortable with memorised sides and others may not be

[@TKFOH]

I'm also confused. I could be wrong, but I think he starts the video talking about cold reads. Then about halfway in he talks about auditioning after they've emailed you the sides. If casting has emailed the sides, it's not a cold read. And in that event, where you have time, you should do your best to have it memorized. That doesn't mean don't be flexible or able to change or take direction, but you should have plenty of familiarity with the material, with your character, with the scene, etc, and a part of that is knowing your lines.

[@jaggynight]

Often times the first audition is to test if an actor is good for the part. You should be off book but still have you sides in your hand for the sake of appearances. If a CD sees you walk in with out the sides it’s gives off the impression your “already done” and this is your final performance. Having the sides in hand shows the casting that your still in construction mode. Then you will get a callback and they will send your many different sides - sometimes 4-5 as mentioned. Some times they send it hours before the initial call back, he is saying use those as cold reads when in the audition room, don’t spend a ton of time memorizing because you will have 4-5 scenes to get through. They want to see you listen and react not recite lines that they sent you 2 hours before. It’s not about that. The self tapes you see where they are off book is probably an initial audition as mentioned before. But cold reads a usually in person and sometimes on the fly. It’s a skill you must have as an actor as well as a necessary way casting can get a glimpse of what you are capably of.

Wrongly titled, I was expecting how to keep warm while reading outside in the cold on a sunny day.

[@silverfoxproductions6923]

[@julial6189]

What if your not doing the scene with the casting director, but with other people?
