As we discussed in our Zoom sessions last week, today is designated as time for 1st and 2nd Block Intro to prepare the cold reading sides I sent out via Remind (if you did not receive those audition sides, please email me and I will send you a copy directly). That means we will not have a full class Zoom meeting today, however I will be available throughout the school day if you have any questions.
Videos for 1st and 2nd block are not due until Wednesday, and I'd like you to devote your time today to independent practice. When you DO tape your auditions, please follow these instructions:
-You will need a reader off camera (family bonding time?) to read the other character's lines in the scene. If that's not an option, you may also have someone read the other lines via Zoom or FaceTime.
-You should be the only person on camera.
-Make sure your reader reads more quietly than you since he/she will be closer to the microphone than you.
-You may use your cell phone, but please record landscape (sideways) rather than portrait (upright).
-Please try to avoid taping outdoors unless you must.
-Make sure I can hear you!
-If possible, please frame in such a way that I can see the script in your hand. Remember: this is a cold reading exercise, so I'd like to be able to observe how you deal with the pages. If you are able to print the sides at home please do so, but don't worry if that's not an option for you.
-Please email your finished video to [email protected].
-If your video is too large to email, I recommend using wetransfer.com. You can email up to two GB and it's free!
Also, you may have noticed that the schedule released last week notes 5th period at 3:00-4:00 every school day. I'll be holding an open Zoom session during that time when you can drop by with questions or any relevant topics of discussion. I've sent out the login information via Remind.
Have a great day!
