Cold Reading Class

Cold Reading Class: Cold Reading Classes in NYC

Cold reading is an essential component of any actor’s training. This class covers essential skills that can be developed and deepened for use in any audition situation whether it’s for film, television, commercial work or theatre. The key component for auditioning, especially when it involves cold reading, is the ability to take apart new material quickly and work on-the-spot to add depth to the character and the scene which is brand new to the actor.

There are several secrets to auditioning well and in this ten week course we will cover them all, from doing quick in-depth character development to how to conduct yourself in the auditioning room.

“Acting is doing” was a phrase that Sanford Meisner was known to use often and it is never more true than in an audition situation. Actors must make decisions quickly about how to do a cold reading and commit to those decisions. Meisner actors can also make use of emotional preparation skills when cold reading if they learn how to use this aspect of the Meisner technique properly.

The cold reading class at Maggie Flanigan studio is an intimate setting in which to learn these all important skills. Classes are limited to only four students for 2.5 hours each week. Over the course of ten weeks, quality time with individual attention from a teacher personally trained by by Maggie Flanigan makes this class a must for the actor looking to tune up, prepare for specific types of auditions or for actors looking to learn all aspects of the practice to increase their chances of giving stand out auditions.=”400″ height=”261″ class=”alignleft size-full wp-image-859″ />

Though you cannot see the script ahead of time to prepare, you learn how to practice for these types of auditions. A big part of the cold reading technique is the ability to adapt to changes and react to unexpected situations.

This class is about more than learning how to pick line off of a script and reciting them to your scene partner. You will learn the fundamental skills of listening and answering. You will learn how to work with actions and objectives-and ultimately to embody all of the necessary skills required to master cold reading.

These types of auditions determine to a large degree the success of many actors.

This class is perfect for the experienced actor who wants to be better prepared for auditions- or the experienced actor who has been away from the craft for a while and needs to regain their focus. Outside reading is required. Give yourself the edge by being prepared.
