How to Prepare a Script
Try to UNDERSTAND YOUR SCENE
Understanding and empathy are much more important than simply being memorised. Read the whole script, develop some opinions about what's going on.
What does your character want?
What's at stake if they succeed - or don't?
​
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF
-
Do you have a good sense of what your character is trying to do, or trying to make happen?
-
Is there a pivotal moment for the character? What makes it so important?
-
Do you know your character well enough to have opinions about the people / events in the scene? (you get this by reading the rest of the script)
