Auditions- Cold Reads

Sorry for not posting yesterday, I actually had an audition; which reminded me that there is another type of audition that I didn't think was all too important. I don't know what they're called, but I will be making another post about this type soon.
     So, cold reads. I love these types of auditions. You are given a section or monologue of the script. It's not like the other type of monologue, this one you have to learn on the spot and present in less than thirty minutes. If you make a mistake, its not so bad because you havn't made it a habit.
     Also, these types of auditions really test the actor. If you mess up or didn't memorize the given script, you HAVE to improvise because giving up half way and saying you don't remember is NOT and option. It tests your memorization and improvisation, if the need arises.
     I also notice that I personally am in a lighter mood in these types of auditions. I feel a lot more calm and talkitive. Being talkative in an audition is very important... I think I might make a post about audition educate. Anyway, cold reads make me so much more comfortable than any other audition. It's like a test that I feel really confident about and usually end up doing well on. Monologue auditions are like Trig tests that I feel confident about but end up failing on worse than Lebron.
