Aftermath...

[fangrrl_squees]

Good reading, despite everyone being almost completely cold (er, in the acting sense, I mean). Definite issue with folks adopting their I'm reading a script! voice (higher pitched, rushing through the words) but, for fuck's sake, I'm dealing with cheerful amateurs and I should cut them some slack. So I did. Next time? Not so much but, next time, I expect to have two of the three proposed cast members reading together.

Moreover, hearing other people reading the script aloud positively identified some spots where I need to cut down/break up the dialog. When your talent has to gasp for breath in the middle of a sentence, something is wrong.

So, a good night. It would have been nigh-perfect if I could pull this frackin' footage off my camera. As it is - martini time!
