by Colors Audio 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Hey, aspiring voice actors! There are only a few days left to grab the Early Bird discount for our Spring Voice Acting Fundamentals class! The voice acting world is more competitive than ever. Fortunately most of your competitors believe that voice acting is about the voice, so they’re relying on their gorgeous Tone (but everybody in this business has a gorgeous tone; that’s not an advantage) rather than Technique. That’s your opening. Dan Popp’s Voice Acting Fundamentals class is time-tested, effective, and fun! Dan is an industry veteran of more than 3 decades, serving clients like John Deere, Goodyear, and Walmart. This class will give you tools and techniques for understanding what the potential client wants, and help you unleash your creative potential. We’ll meet each Saturday at 2PM from March 8 through April 12 at Colors Audio in Akron. The cost is $750 (plus tax for Ohio residents). We're offering a 10% discount for those who register by FEBRUARY 28th - THAT’S THIS FRIDAY! - so your cost will be $675 if you respond before the deadline. There’s some information here <https://www.colorsaudio.com/voice-over-training>. Email if you have questions: dan(a)colorsaudio.com <mailto:dan@colorsaudio.com>. If you’re ready to sign up, let us know; we’ll get you that discounted invoice. Thanks for your interest. Hope to see you in class! Dan Popp Colors Audio

Industry Discount Tickets for AMERIKIN, produced by Seat of the Pants
by Craig Joseph 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Seat of the Pants' second Mainstage show of the season is coming up - running March 14th through the 30th, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 and Sundays at 2:30 - and we're excited to offer a discount to theatre makers of every kind on tickets that are purchased *between now and Tuesday, March 4th at midnight.* Tickets are regularly $20-$32 and can be purchased at *amerikinsotp.eventbrite.com <http://amerikinsotp.eventbrite.com/>*; at checkout, *use the code INDUSTRY to receive $3 off each ticket that you purchase.* When new father Jeff Browning receives the results of an ancestry test that he's taken to gain admittance to a white supremacist brotherhood, he gets an unexpected surprise. What transpires garners the attention of a prominent Black journalist-- attention that Jeff (and his small town) aren't sure they want. A dark comedy about the lengths we'll go to to feel connected to something larger than ourselves, AMERIKIN makes a passionate and provocative case for walking a mile in someone else's shoes - regardless of the cost. Directed by Craig Joseph, produced and assistant directed by Jeannine Gaskin, the production stars Michael Glavan*, Chennelle Bryant Harris, Mugs Johnson, Rachel Lee Kolis, Andy Knode*, Katherine Nash, and Geoffrey Short. Sam Landgraf stage manages, with scenic design by Alan Costa, costume design by Victoria Mearini, sound design by Megan Trimarchi, lighting design by Micah Harvey, props design by Mia Jones, and cultural consultancy by Martine Kei Green-Rogers. (*denotes member of Actors Equity) Content Advisory: racial slurs, descriptions of suicide, postpartum depression, and a visible gun *AMERIKIN is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.* *Seat of the Pants' 2024-2025 season is made possible in part by the generous support of The Cleveland Foundation.*
