Mark Burnham
All due respect to auditioners, & I’ve been watching the requests for a while now and I have to tell you... I’ve done probably more than 10,000 cold reading meetings in Los Angeles, at all levels and media ( commercials- national and regional, television- 3 cam, single cam, comedy, drama, episodic, procedurals, film-day player to lead... ) and I can count on one hand those meetings where the reader matched gender, race, geographical background and so forth.
Now you should have what you want for your audition... but if you find it difficult to find a reader, perhaps that might be why.
The important things about your audition are; your reading, your interpretation, and that what’s on camera is lite well, and heard clearly.
Not the reader.
