  • It doesn't take a lot of expertise to know that reading the script prior to the cold reading is a good idea. It's a given.

  • this retard is nervous! hahahahah what a punk!!! and he making me more nervous for my audition and his isnt even an audition!

  • This doesn't address the most important skills in cold-reading. Take numerous classes for a year or so in improv, sight-reading, cold-reading and audition technique. You might want to take scene study as well. Remember, you will be auditioning with professions.

  • One ov the reasons I really like Expert Village is becuz if these ppl are the experts then that means I over estimate my challenges in life.

  • Until you've been in that situation you cant speak about how we as actors put too much in it. If we didn't amazing actors wouldn't receive actors and those actors wouldn't bring emotion to life.

  • i think people just put to much into it. Just read the lines and if you get the part then good for you, Its not like you have to do all this crap and pysch your self out before hand. Just go into it with some confidence and pretend.

  • Is anyone listening to the words and not what he's saying? He is giving good advice. So what if the presentation isn't to your standards?

  • i didn t understand a word he said! he is so nervous! but i d like if he writes his advices on the sceen that it could help us :) thank you
