Calling drill
Cue calling practice: warn, standby and go
The scene is read aloud one line at a time from the prompt book below. Call each cue on its marks: the warning, then the standby (at least 1.5 seconds before the go), then the go on its line. The go must land within 0.9 seconds on Easy and 0.4 seconds on Hard, and a go with no cue on its point fails the nearest cue. 56 cues across 14 scenes. New to calling? Read how to call cues.
2 cues at this difficulty. Read the prompt book below first: every warning, standby and go is marked on its line. Call with the buttons or the keys W, S and G (or the space bar for go).
