What are Mock Sides TM?
Mock Sides is a term we invented to describe custom written scenes that appear as if they had come from actual TV shows and Films. The scripts serve a particular purpose in actor training and are intended to challenge the actor to make educated guesses as to what the whole story may be about. You may notice, the scenes don't have page numbers so you can guess as to where it would in the timeline of the story. We give minimal character description and very little "beat" indicators; this is to allow the actors to make their own decisions regarding their character's history, relationship and subtext. Most of our scripts have no lead-ins from previous scenes or "cuts to" the next scene; we leave that up to the actors to imagine and discuss. Each week, we custom write these scenes for the actors enrolled in various levels of acting classes at DS StudioWorks, that is why some sides are simpler than others. We share our Mock Sides with you in hopes we can help you to develop and expand upon your acting skills.

The Working Actor's Guide to:
How to Memorize Lines Fast Using S.M.T.
Wouldn't you like to be able to get off-book fast and have more time to apply the skills you worked so hard to develop?
More and more actors are using S.M.T. (Somatic Memorization Technique TM) to learn how to memorize lines faster than the average actor. S.M.T. was developed by actor, coach and casting director, David Dalton. When S.M.T. is used properly and often it will condition your subconscious mind to absorb the dialogue AND comprehend the meaning of the story FAST,
so you're better prepared for auditions, rehearsals and even your acting classes. S.M.T. can also help you to become better prepared for any last minute rewrites and cold-reads. This website offers over 100 free original scenes for actor to use in conjunction with their S.M.T. training. Even though was designed specifically for the TV and Film actor, stage actors can also benefit by getting off-book faster.
S.M.T. is not a gimmick; it's a proven technique that really works!

WE BELIEVE...
Actors can learn more by working with original scripts that are just as good as anything done on the screen by famous actors. Personally, as a coaches and actors, we have grown tired of watching (and performing) scenes that have already been marked by famous actors. No matter what you do with that material, some will always unconsciously or consciously compare you to that famous actor's interpretation. You deserve free original material!
There is no substitute for being enrolled in an actual acting class with a reputable acting coach. However, there are plenty of affordable online resources that can help supplement your education, like ours, and we gladly offer our services. Remember, acting classes are an investment in your self and your acting career. Take actual classes as often as you can.
In order to receive, you must give. However, in this business, there are far more takers than givers, so be careful. We, too, have to be careful about what we give away for free. The only thing we ask in return for our free scripts is that you give us credit and spread the word to your industry friends. We would like to keep this a free website, so the more you spread the word, the more ad space we can sell and the more services we can provide.
We're all in this together. Maybe not all at the same time or in the same place, but the work each of us does has a "ripple effect" that spreads throughout the creative communities, which can spread as far as your creative power will allow. You can create more opportunities in your life by becoming an inspiration to others through your work. Never stop developing your craft. Be an expample of creative power. Inspire others to do their best.
Thanks,
David Dalton & Chad Schnackel
