voice acting training
by Colors Audio 21 Feb '22

VOICE ACTING FUNDAMENTALS CLASS - Spring, 2022 If you're serious about taking up the craft of voice acting, consider enrolling in our class, Voice Acting Fundamentals. You'll be coached by a working voice actor with 30 years' experience. You'll learn in an actual commercial studio <http://www.colorsaudio.com/>. And we'll keep the class small, to give you more time "on the mic." What will you learn? I believe that the primary challenge for the voice actor is the same as for any actor: "How do I become the person who must say these words?" The voice actor must solve this puzzle without much help, and almost no time. Untrained people tend to put a lot of effort into the voice. I show students that the real work comes earlier, in the mind and emotions. That work is harder. But it can produce a genuine performance, as opposed to mere mimicry. There's no magic formula; only insights and techniques. And a trick or two. Voice Acting Fundamentals is a performance class. Other important voiceover matters like running a business, setting up a home studio, marketing, finding an agent, etc., won't be covered. You can always ask about those things in our free LinkedIn discussion group, neoVo <https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12058620/>. We'll focus mainly on commercials and eLearning, with a light touch on character/animation. Class details: 10 hours of instruction and coaching. We'll meet Saturdays from 2 to 4pm, from March 5 through April 2, at the Colors Audio studios <http://www.colorsaudio.com/map-directions> in Akron. The cost is $600 (plus tax for Ohio residents - total $640.50). To register, or to ask a question, please email Dan Popp at colorsaudio(a)neo.rr.com.
