Cold Reading Workshop

As a professional actor, you already know the drill: callbacks with 12 hours’ notice, chemistry reads with brand-new sides, producers in the room expecting bold, immediate choices. Cold reading isn’t just a skill, it’s a necessity.

This class is designed to sharpen the tools you actually use in the audition room. You’ll learn how to quickly break down a scene, identify the spine of the character, and make grounded, compelling choices all while staying present, flexible, and connected. We’ll focus on listening, transitions, and the art of making the text feel lived-in, even when it’s barely off the page.

If you've ever walked out of a cold read thinking, “I didn’t show them what I can really do,” this class is for you. Expect individual feedback and strategies you can apply immediately to elevate your self-tapes, live auditions, and on-the-fly readings.
