The Table Read

The author points out three key points of: make sure the pacing is correct, find people that actually want to do the table read, and to take notes/recording of the read. The table read is a great time to make sure that the pacing is correct for your script, because you are having actors perform your script, giving you an understanding of how certain scenes would play out. If you get actors that want to read your script for the table read, then you will get a better understanding of how actors would perform the script in front of the camera. Good actors that enjoy what they're doing are also more likely to have experience and give feedback. The table read has a reason for why you are doing it: you want your script to improve/know what parts of the script are actually good. There is no way that you would be able to mentally note every note you have, so actually writing down your notes and having a recording to go back and listen, will help a lot when you get into the revision stage of writing your script.
