ACADEMY 2025: Voice Acting Technique
Kiki & David Gindler Performing Arts Center
Voice Acting
Introduction to the World of Voiceover
Video games, animation, commercials, audiobooks, scripted podcasts - voiceover work is full of possibilities...and fun! In this workshop, we will explore the techniques we as actors can use to bring to life the various forms of texts. Using "copy" from the different genres, we will learn to identify what is required of us as performers and how to best serve the material; rehearsing, preparing and recording our performances. Technical aspects of the craft will also be covered, even if you only have a smartphone. Students will also experience what it's like to work in the voiceover booth - as one of our classes will be held in a professional voiceover recording studio with an engineer. Bring your "funny voices" and your "You should do voiceover!!" energy to this class.
October 27, November 3, November 10, November 17, December 1, December 8
