I found it most interesting that directors want you to do good. I didn’t know that memorizing the first and last lines was important. As well as word pronounciation.
I've got an audition coming up far as I can tell its a cold reading over zoom I've done some character development in my own time but getting extra tips like this are very helpful!
so i understand that when we don't remember our lines, it is OK to read it while looking down at the script the entire time while reading and then look up when our partner starts their line to keep eye contact?
If I’m mesmerizing a script is it okay to occasionally add a few words, for example if I was reading from the script “I want candy!” But I decided to “spice” it up a little and say, “I want that delicious candy now!” Bad example but is that acceptable
