Over the course of four weeks, we will delve into different genres of voice over work, from commercial to animation, and everything in between. You'll learn the technical basics of producing industry standard auditions from home, including microphone technique and editing software. Most importantly, we’ll have fun discovering your voice’s unique qualities and your own preferences in order to identify a solid, enjoyable path into your VO journey, rather than diving into the whole pie face first - just like with the rest of your acting work, you gotta love it!
There’s plenty of work out there for each voice; by the end of the 4 weeks, you will be armed with a strategic plan to have your voice heard!
