I just got cast in a TV series comedy pilot and I have my first table read next weekend. This is my first lead role and I have never done a table read before. What should I expect?
Congratulations. You shouldn't expect nothing really. A table read is mostly a way for the actors to get a feel for the script and ask questions if they have any.
Congratulations, Madeline. I have only done table reads for theatre but I presume that it is a similar meeting. Its about getting to know the other cast members and the Director and getting a feel for the script. I suggest that you will impress more, though, if you turn up with a good knowledge of your lines and an early interpretation of your character. Good luck ...and enjoy!
The table reads Ive had have always been pretty low key. The director/casting director have already chosen you for the role so its pretty much just a get to know each other session with a few instructions on the script. Mind you, my experience is in Asia, there could be some differences

Thank you! I'm so excited for this project even though it's just a pilot shoot. All female cast with female show runner and writers.

Be sure to let us know when it airs, or hits streaming. Break a leg! :D

Great News. This is your chance to shine as a pro. Be early, be prepared and be flexible. Usually lots of of edits and retries at the Table.
