Rainey Script Consulting Indepth screenplay critiques and evaluations by an industry professional. My professional critiquing services started as a result of the encouragement I got from a writerproducer in the industry that I was working for at the time. I answered his mail, returned phone messages, read scripts, set up meetings and workshops, directed showcases, et cetera. When I read the script submissions, I wrote coverage. He was impressed enough with my analytical skills to introduce me to agents, who referred screenwriters with promising talent and ideas that had not been sufficiently developed. And it grew from there. But, I had a huge background in the performing arts field that led up to this path.I started as a professional actor. Between engagements, I studied acting in professional workshops and at universities. I graduated from California State University, Long Beach summa cum laude with a B.A. in acting and directing. While at CSULB, I had the great honor to study with one of the finest acting teachers in the country, Libby Appel. From her, I learned how to go deeply into character behavior. I also, studied with Michael Finlayson, and crossed paths with Patrick Stewart and Ben Kingsley. They were on sabbatical from the Royal Shakespeare Company, and although I had already spent two years acting in a Shakespeare company, from them I learned the secrets of bringing Shakespeare to life for contemporary audiences. I continue to encourage writers to take acting classes so they can understand the process of embodying their characters.
