script reading
Actors voicing pages
Script reading is the act of reviewing a screenplay or teleplay, typically to evaluate its potential for production.
In the film and television industry, script readers assess submissions and write coverage—summaries with recommendations.
The term also refers to actors performing a script aloud, often at a table read before rehearsals begin: The script reading revealed some dialogue that needed work.
