In the worlds of corporate industrials and commercials, including new media, the new "triple threat" is a performer who can smoothly read a teleprompter, deliver a killer audition on ear prompter, and can walk onto a green screen set with professionalism and confidence. Producers often look for (and re-hire) performers who are equipped with these increasingly essential skills.

This course is designed as an introduction to teleprompter, ear prompter and green screen for performers seeking to acquire these skills to increase their employability in the commercial and corporate industrial markets.

Practice is critical to mastering prompter and green screen performance. This course combines weekly in-class presentations and at-home exercises designed to get students quickly on their way to effective delivery of material for audition and performance situations. In a fun and supportive atmosphere, students learn necessary preparation and script analysis techniques, how to approach prompter work, and progress through a variety of real-world scripts over the six-week course. Students should be prepared to handle business vocabulary, including pharmaceutical and financial terms.

 

Working with straight and character scripts, live and video performance styles, and studio and location shoots, students will receive a DVD of their work each week to take home and study. The final session will simulate a casting session or studio shoot, and will feature a special industry guest. Bring your picture and resume!
