Emphasis is placed on cold-reading taped audition skills, improvisational and interview techniques, and the fundamental acting techniques required for on-camera performance. Legal and ethical issues in film and television performance, including the implications of social and cultural constructs, economics, technology, and equity and social justice, are explored.
