cross media actors


what kind of presence training does a cross media actor require?

The character i'm playing is tweeting, being filmed, animated, watched, augmented, on facebook, fragmented and cross mediatised. What will best prepare me for that?

the 'director' is not interested in clear or expressive physicality,  good diction, projection or truthfulness. i'm not sure what she is interested in to do with me.

Transmedia & Actor training


Either, transmedia, new media, cross platform, need additional skills which we have to make space for in our actor training.
OR
New technologies mean we have to radically rethink actor training and codify new actor training ideals and methodologies.

Is this a valid question?
