Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to assist up to 24 senior actors prepare for on-camera commercial acting skills and use those skills to audition for on camera casting. We will survey each participant and have them participate in qualitatively telling us if the skills were useful in their acting careers and the techniques are meaningful to their acting goals. We will assist all participants to participate in a one minute pitch of themselves, to help them become comfortable with selling a product/service. We will provide mid-term evaluations of the techniques used to present products or services for commercial auditions and ask our instructors to examine each technique for relevance and review best practices for commercial auditions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Students with varying physical and mental abilities created a film, and their performances showed confidence.
