Our tryouts have been held the last Forensics class meeting of the Fall semester. All the coaches bring scenes to read. Students are allowed to practice a little. Then we conduct pretty much cold readings. When we have heard what we want we go behind closed doors and settle on our casts.
Coaches cooperate to get the needs of their script met.
One coach may need two males. Another coach may need ethnic diversity. Other types of considerations such as reliability and number of nationals events are taken into consideration. We work together to choose these casts which are then announced. We've made a lot of mistakes here.
