"Your Promise to the Audience" with Carla Cackowski: 

Your character's point of view is the funnel through which they view the world. Playing a strong point of view simplifies your choices so you can focus on your partner as opposed to scanning your brain for the millions of possible "right" things to say. Your first character choice is what you promise the audience and following through on that promise is your objective. Carla will take you through a number of exercises on initiating, exploring, and heightening point of view so you can relax and let your character's voice do all the heavy lifting.
