FAQ
Before the callback
Will it tell me how to play it?
No. It helps you explore options and sharpen your own choices.
Can I push back?
Yes. The best prep happens when you test an idea and decide why you believe it.
Does it work for monologues?
Yes. Objectives, turns, and subtext matter just as much in monologues.
