Character voice acting is a business.
It’s more than doing funny voices. Your character needs to be specific to each genre, style, audience appeal, and technical performance requirement. Auditions and jobs leave little or no time to develop a character. To prep your character demo, you need time to build a stable of 5-10 characters that you can quickly draw from and build upon.
The goal of this six week Masterclass is to give you an in depth overview into the types of characters you will need to master for a demo, audition, and job. Each week we’ll explore a range of character styles along with techniques, genres, overviews and industry expectations.
This is a fast paced workshop with homework assignments. So, be prepared to play!
