What is a table read?
A table read is when actors sit around a table in a room and read through a script, out loud. It can really help get projects off the ground and even attract investors, but at the earliest stages it is an invaluable tool for writers to hear the script from the audience’s point of view, and outside of the voices in their heads.

But once your script is honed and tightened, don’t wait around for other people to have your voice heard.

We’ll help you take matters into your own hands. A RECORDED table read, especially with the addition of SFX, Foley and music can get your script HEARD and be a powerful weapon to get your script to the top of the ‘reading pile’.

WE ARE STILL ABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE – AS REMOTE TABLE READS.

Table Read Examples

“You’ve added yet another exciting dimension to this project, thank you so much. I feel this wouldn’t be out of place on BBC Radio 4 in terms of its quality. I can’t thank you enough.” – Dave Ward, writer of Steadman’s Stronghold.

STEADMAN’S STRONGHOLD

A high concept drama set in 19th century Georgia, USA a few years before the Civil War about humanity, religion and slavery.

(Explicit warning: contains content and references to 19th century slavery which some people may find offensive)

How can it help and who?

In the earlier stages of a completed draft, it will focus the scriptwriter or whoever has a vested interest in the script’s development on the following aspects within the script:

  • Dialogue strength and flow
  • Writing technique
  • Character strengths and consistency
  • Scene strength, length and validity
  • Story flow
  • Sniff out any plot holes
  • Help you get out of writer’s block

Actors bring the characters to life and highlight what works and what could be improved upon to allow a script to reach its greatest potential.

A professionally RECORDED table read has the benefit of being done remotely.

You don’t even have to attend!

A written report will be made from the actors and moderator’s comments/notes from the session and you will receive this with your recording.

In addition

Then a revised script, or one already at that pitching stage, could be embellished with SFX, sound design and music to make an exciting audio presentation SHOWCASE to potential agents, producers and investors/funding bodies.

Stand out from the pile! Book a recorded table read now.

We can just handle the sessions and the recording/editing, or DO THE LOT! That is: advertise for and seek out talent, go through reels and select cast, get them copies of the script and coordinate them for the session and sort all legal documentation: release forms, NDAs etc.) We then set up the read session itself and record it, edit out any stumbles/start-stops etc. Then if required, add SFX, Foley and music.

Now you can avoid the reading pile – BE HEARD instead!
