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?

and so full of ideas again. My love hate love hate conversation with technology goes on. and my journey into sound and podcasts begins.   Made the first one today and plagued by doubts on the project; is it legal, how complex is the  technology i thought so simple,  will anyone ever listen,  is that my voice, see the text with hear the text..... 


Together with the doubt and compustrations i'm also excited. My students suggested that the best way to make podcasts would be to translate academic lingo into gangsta. 


Basically, like da dream abou' makin da academic podcast shizz is dat like one day yeah, on a train dat is tot's full of da students, they will be chattin abou' dis really cool podcast on post modernist theatre.. and they iz like 'blugghhh'd.... 'iz it dat u wants me to bluetooth u a copy of dis bangin podcast'!!??


And i will recognise it, somehow, as one i made earlier.
