Why does Script Analysis matter?
Great script analysis skills are therefore essential, especially with self tapes where you don't get the benefit of a redirect. The thing is: you don't need a redirect, if you know how to decipher what the writer is asking of you!
If you find yourself needing to do multiple takes, over and over again, struggling to 'find it,' you don't have an acting problem, you have a script analysis problem. Once you know how to read the music, so to speak, auditions become fun and stress-free. You're now able to just BE...to simply listen and react honestly in the moment. It all begins on the page.
