Any good ideas on Audition proceedures?

"on your cold reading skills too. Some directors, and I admit I'm one, like to see the, as it were, raw material that they will be working with" i hate directors who do that "Drama schools in my experience almost always want prepared pieces." the way it should be! everyone sucks on a dry, cold reading of a script and character they know nothing about and have never read before preparation and being the script IN ADVANCE - at least a few days - is almost always the key to a decent performance. i haaaate duirectors who give you the lines on the day and expect you to impress them. fuckheads. give me a few days to memroixe the lines and read thru the whole script! grrrrr!
