Video game writers: Take time to do table reads, even if it's with non-actors (though if you can rustle up the best actors from among your coworkers, that's better). It is SO worth your time.

You can and will always fix stuff on the fly in the booth, but it's better not to be spending (especially guild rate) time on that then.

Even if a full table-read isn't feasible, just READING DIALOGUE AND TEXT OUT LOUD *with someone else* listening and reading back will shake out many speedbumps that aren't apparent while reading silently. This goes for every type of writing.

As an actor I’d love a table read with the writers at some stage. Helps us, helps you.

Actor here. 100% would be up for early read throughs and table reads. It’s great to be part of the process and help something come to life!
