Hey Harry,

The cost on the various plans can be found right on the crg website. The plans bundle CRG session, Beat to Beat sessions, and CRG Showcase. If I have not totally muddy the water give me a call - Thomas 508-517-5887

Bob,

Interesting point. I don't really think of it like watching bad auditions over and over again, but a way to look at your work so next time you are up at bat you can do better. And when they the audition gets really good the CRG Showcase would then allow you to share with the industry either by downloading your audition or directing individuals to your page. Also great you bring up about the different levels of membership because The Cold Reading Group has GOLD, BLUE and White Plans that offer savings instead of buying each session and services one at a time.

Thanks for your input because that is the way to make the group even better for actors ! - Thomas

It's an interesting idea. But I wonder what value I eeceive from watching a bad audition, ow watching an exceptionally good one, over and over again. One makes you overly vulnerable to flattery and the other to criticism. I ned to think on it more, but one suggestion is to offer a collection of services, perhaps including this one, for membership into the CRG. Within the collection, you could have green, gold, platinum levels. Let me think on this some more.

Hey Everyone,
Quick question.
Would you all be interested if I would put the takes from your auditions in the sessions up on a password protect web site of your own so you could study your work while you were home ? and there was a nominal month fee ?

Let me know if that is something that would be of interest, thanks. - Thomas

Update on the happenings on the group. I have recently added another session Wednesday at 6:30 PM. For those of you that don't have a car no problem there. There is the commuter line takes you to West Concord right around the corner. The Session are held in Acton MA. Any questions give me a shout. In the coming weeks I will be launching a service where you can save you best takes to share them with industry folks. You will be able to build a portfolio of characters to better market yourself.
