The Voice Over Advanced Class - Taking Your Skills to the Next Level
A 3-week super intimate virtual 5-person class with TWO expert instructors!
An intimate class size allows us to give you focused, individual preparation for working in the voice over industry
Real world preparation for working in the industry.
From delivering winning auditions, to working with clients, we bring you through a variety of scenarios that are common for the working voice actor.
You'll learn what you clients expect in your performance and the overall service you provide as a voice actor.
Up close and personal with two industry veterans!
You'll work closely for hours with Chris Z and me (Rob Holt). We've been casting, recording and producing voice over, each for over 20-years.
We know what it takes for a voice over artist to get the job done and get on the client's short list for their future projects.
It's a jungle out there! It's no secret that the voice over industry is extremely competitive. You need friends on the inside. Friends who know the game and are committed to making sure you know it too. Your voice over career could be made or broken on those first few jobs. A bad performance will immediately put you on everyone's "Do Not Call List." All the same, when you really deliver on those first few jobs, you not only gain the appreciation and respect of the producer, engineer, and creative team that day, you find within yourself a quickly growing fire of unstoppable inspiration, drive, and passion that not only fulfills you like never before, but propels you towards your next booking.
WEEK 1:
In this fast paced, dynamic first class, we expand on multiple person scripts. There is a ton of performance time for each student. You'll spend more time performing than observing. This class is themed like an audition, and we outline important considerations that differ between auditions and bookings. You will be recorded and we will get you used to hearing playback. (Yes, we can do this over zoom!) We've seen more breakthroughs and explosive growth in this one night than any other…also as an inevitable byproduct, hilarity ensues. We also introduce timed drills where you have to nail the copy in a set time. This happens out in the working world so it's time to start training for it!
WEEK 2:
Once you're loose, relaxed and in the zone from week one, we work on long format narration recording in week two. Each student gets their own 4-5 page script to perform with me directing and Chris recording as if it were a real booking. We move at the same pace, with the same terminology, and direction techniques that we use daily in our various productions. This is by far the most real training you can get.
WEEK 3:
Week three expands upon the real experience where you'll be recording a commercial script that I will have written you and your class into. We record the job as if it were real and walk you through some of the production elements commonly used in voice over projects to give you invaluable insight into the production world and how you and your talents fit into that world. You will receive a copy of the produced commercial. We also do a longer and more advanced timed drill to make sure you're able to hit the mark when you need to.
ADDITIONAL ONE ON ONE SESSION:
In our 30-minute virtual private session we'll work on a few more performance elements and then discuss next steps or cover any other questions you may have, including my overall evaluation of where you are and your potential moving forward.
One of the most valuable things you will take away from this experience is a familiarity with most real world on the job situations. This will allow you to enter into voice over bookings more effective and more confident.
