Are you getting auditions but not booking as much as
you'd like to? Are you called in for character reads but want to explore more
narration? In this three week VO Bootcamp, participants will dig deeper into the
VO world where we will review script breakdown and solo voice material then
delve into dialogue and multi voice spots too. All performers will receive the
full benefit of working in our premiere sound studio while starting to explore
the lesser known areas of voice work such as long form narration in corporate
or documentary projects. Participants will also learn industry trends from
professionals working in the current commercial climate and hear insights into
their own performances from their peers, casting director and VO director.
Class size is limited to 8 Participants.
