Learn the principles for effective collaboration and creative partnership, how to connect with and understand your actor, prepare performance through script analysis, character development through vocal technique, how and why to rehearse, and strategies for the day of recording. Morla and Stephen will also share opportunities for improvement based on learnings from Moss & Moss: Book II.
