Classes / Cold reading classes in Los Angeles
Arlo lists 13 schools for cold reading classes in Los Angeles, with 3 current classes from 2 schools. 3 listings publish a price or rate; the billing basis can differ by school. 1 class allow drop-ins.
Cold reading classes train actors to make strong choices with sides they have only just received. Students practice breaking down a scene fast, staying off the page while reading, and adjusting to a redirect from the person running the audition.
Cold reading suits actors who audition regularly, or are about to start, and want to be quicker and calmer in the room or on tape.
In Los Angeles, cold reading is usually an ongoing weekly class, sometimes combined with on-camera or audition technique, with new sides at every session. Monthly rates commonly fall around $250 to $450.
Ask to audit a class and count how many times each student reads in one session. Classes that put every student up more than once usually give the most practice for the money.
