“Television is likely to do more to revolutionize politics than sound broadcasting did. Political candidates may have to adopt new techniques to benefit from visual radio: their dress, their smiles and gestures, all will be important. How they look, as well as what they say, may determine to an appreciable extent their popularity. The eyes of the public will be upon them.” WellsLooksMayImportantEyePoliticalSoundTelevisionBenefitsDressesDetermineRadioTechniqueCandidatesVisualsGesturesPopularityBroadcastingPolitical Candidates Author:David Sarnoff

“The techniques are all means of dealing with one simple idea: She wrote it. (That is, the "wrong" person--in this case, female--has created the "right" value--i.e., art.) Denial of Agency: She didn't write it. Pollution of Agency: She shouldn't have written it. Double Standard of Content: Yes, but look what she wrote about. False Categorizing: She is not really she [an artist] and it is not really it [serious, of the right genre, aesthetically sound, important, etc.] so how could "she" have written "it"? Or simply: Neither "she" nor "it" exists (simple exclusion).” WritingLooksMeanPersonsArtImportantIdeasArtistValuesSoundSimpleCasesWrittenSeriousStandardsFemaleCriticismTechniqueDenialGenreAgencyEtcSexismPollutionExclusionDouble StandardLiterary CriticismWrong PersonSimple IdeasCategorizing Book:How to Suppress Women's Writing Source: How to Suppress Women's Writing
“Improv is more than just spitting out a bunch of funny stuff that's unrelated to the material. You have to stay in character, you have to react and respond as the character you're trying to play. You have to service the story, and I think improv training has helped with my listening, responding, and my audition technique. It's sounds so silly, but it's true. Because not only do you improvise during the audition, but once you get the part, they'll say, "Throw away everything. Just improv this scene. Do whatever you want." Someone could panic if they're not used to doing something like that.” IfsThinkingWantTryingPlayCharacterStoriesUsedStuffSoundMaterialsListeningSceneTrainingTechniqueSillyBunchPanicAuditionsRespondingDo Whatever You WantFunny Stuff Author:Wendi McLendon-Covey
