The Rehearsal Room provides a reader but actors can also choose to use someone from the group or provide their own reader. Actors audition in a studio space with only the casting director and the reader present. The other actors in the workshop watch the auditions on a monitor in another room. This makes the audition experience similar to real circumstances and provides a good environment to both test your skills and learn from others.
