  In typical theater an actor might make a monologue that he's spent many hours memorizing, for part that he will also perform at every audition. He is perfected his art and distribution and has spent lots of time with this. He is quite comfortable with his prepared lines when choosing an audition. Nevertheless, in a film or commercial audition the actor is anticipated to perform program fond of him he hasn't seen before. This is when the art of cold reading is essential and can be quite a life saver.
  
  The technical definition of cold reading could be the auditioning for a component with a program at your fingertips, one the actor has never seen. The career says that the actor is supposed to be given the software at least twenty four hours prior to the audition but often this just doesn't happen. cold reading is so important to actors who work in film or commercials advertisements is why.
  
  So, how do you learn to cold study? Brute force. Get a, read the first line, commit it to memory and then say the line without looking at the script. You have only done your first cold reading. At first you may only manage to memorize a words at a, but with a practice you'll soon be memorizing many lines at a time. Being an actor is similar to as an player. The more you work at it the greater you'll receive. Once you feel comfortable doing cool reading on your own try it with another actor. When it gets fun that is.
  
  If you are at your audition it is very tempting to try and sneak a peak at the next line as the other actor is performing his lines. Don't try this. The manner in which you listen to your fellow actor is just as essential as speaking your lines. Until it's time for you to then and respond look at the next point wait. Memorize just as much of your line as you are able to in a matter of seconds. Then make eye connection with your partner and say your next line.
  
  Repeat the process until you've the point memorized, if than you can with only a glance you have got more to memorize. But keep your face from the software.

Ensure you stay static in character while reading your lines.
  
  as you can when you're actually at your audition even if you don't get the script until you get there, try to see the script in its entirety at once and remember as much of it. In this way you'll at the very least involve some idea what the scene is approximately, who the characters are and how a dialogue is going. If you have additional time make an effort to memorize the last and first lines. This will give you a finish and strong start, which can be what the person auditioning you'll remember probably the most.
  
  When holding your program, keep with your left hand if right handed and at chest level. Not have your face buried in the program. Want it is really a prop do not say the script around. Make believe it is merely a natural extension of one's body. The less attention you draw to the software it self the greater.
  
  A cool reading goes much slower and seems a lot more uncomfortable than the usual regular reading. This is normal and there is no need to be worried about it. The casting director knows here is the first time the script has been seen by you. He is more thinking about what sort of personality you have because the figure.
  
  Sadly, you may be the best actor in the world, but without being in a position to cold read well you are not likely to get many parts as you'll never get past the first audition. So include cool reading in your training. You'll find you'll have more pieces as a result of it.Maggie Flanigan Studio Inc 153 W 27th St #803 New York, NY 10001 (917) 606-0982
