Voice Coaching - FAQ's What is "Cold Copy?" "Cold Copy" is script that you've never seen before. You give it a quick read and off you go into the studio. Professional voice talent do it everyday. Most of the time you have a rough idea about the kind of read they want from you - but that direction could change at any time....including the script itself. This is especially true in auditioning. Your coach should not only teach you how to read cold copy, he/she should also cover off the finer points in taking/interpreting direction while reading that script in a studio environment. Sure, you may know exactly what kind of style they are looking for, but as soon as you step in front of the microphone - the producer tells you something completely different and you have to come up with something.......cold. Odd that the industry calls it "cold" copy......when it almost always makes the rookies sweat! :-)
