Info about Workshop:  
Animation is growing in Western Canada every year.  On The Mic Training’s 2-day workshop is designed for aspiring animation voice-over actors to explore and experience both the pre-lay and dubbing avenues of animation voice-over.  You will learn industry expectations and are guided through many scripts and exercises to give you the tools you need to book the role.

This 2-day workshop is designed to help you learn the process of how a script evolves from words on a page into the characters you see on your favourite cartoons and anime series.  There will be discussions about the opportunities available to you in the current voice-over industry, in particular those offered through places like Chinook Animation in Calgary and what is expected from you at auditions and on the job.
Specifically, you will:
     Work in a professional studio, with industry-standard equipment
     Become familiar with mic technique, studio etiquette and industry terminology in both anime and animation
     Learn how to create characters, build on what you have experimented with already and some that you may not have thought about so far
     Learn how to play a scene and make it believable, using the essence of your personality and imagination
     Receive direction on your reads and apply it to the next take.
