# Table read notes

## Session
- Project:
- Draft / save point:
- Date:
- Readers:
- Listener taking notes:

## What to listen for
- Moments where the room leans in, laughs, goes quiet, or gets confused
- Lines readers consistently stumble over
- Exposition that sounds natural on the page but heavy out loud
- Character voices that blur together
- Scene transitions where energy drops or the next objective is unclear

## Scene notes

### Scene: [slugline or scene number]
- What changed in the scene:
- What landed in the room:
- Friction / confusion:
- Performance discovery:
- Question to test in the next draft:

## Lines to protect
- [line] — Why it worked:

## Recurring signals
### Story / structure
-

### Character / objective
-

### Dialogue / voice
-

### Pace / clarity
-

## Do not solve by vote
Record repeated signals separately from proposed fixes. Three people naming the same confusion is evidence of a problem; three different suggested rewrites are still three hypotheses.

## Revision decisions
| Signal | Diagnosis | Decision | Scenes affected | Owner / next step |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | | |

## Questions still open
-

## Next read
- What must the next draft prove?
- Which scenes should be read again?
- Which change should *not* be evaluated until a later pass?
