Good morning. I arrive fifteen minutes early, I bring exactly three pens, and I start with a brief rundown of the score. I mark each cue on the script with the pen for notes, then I run through it once, then I ask the actors to hit the same beats. If anyone deviates, we pause, reset, and then repeat. Consistency comes from repetition and a single, unwavering standard. Stick to the same process each time, and the music and acting will synchronize like a well‑wound clock.
