• One-hour tune-up: suitable for professionals who need a little help with auditions and sessions
• Creating characters for voices and games– suitable for mid-level to profession talent. Lessons involve: placement, inventing characters and how to pace yourself during stressful sessions involving combat dialogue and/or screaming.
• The Non-Announcer Read: What is it and how to do it.
• Demo ready? You want to get a demo, then an agent and start working. mid-level to professional. How’s your material? Do you have an engineer that you trust? Perhaps you need a professional to tell you whether you’re really, “demo ready”.
Student prerequisites: Mid-level voice talent, or someone with some acting experience. Folks who are curious and beginners are great too, as long as they have some experience reading text, while taking direction.
