VOICE ACTING MASTERCLASS FOR AUDIOBOOKS, GAMES & ANIMATIONS!
What you'll learn
- You'll learn how to get started in the voice acting industry with your own home recording facility into any of the four “worlds” of Voiceover, Audiobooks, Animation and Game recording.
- You'll discover how to develop a wide variety of different character voices using our unique “Character Control Panel”. We guarantee you’ll find voice styles you never believe you could perform before!
- How you can find work in video games, how they audition to select the voices they want and how to interpret scripts.
- How you can get regular work as an audiobook narrator and to make fiction books really stand out creating different voices for each character.
- You'll learn how to create voice showreels that stand out from your competition and deliver them in a format the agencies and production companies need.
- How to “get into the zone” before any recording session so you perform at your BEST every time!
- How to set up your own quality recording facility at home to save money on hiring external studios.
- You’ll understand the different systems of earning an income as an audiobook narrator and we’ll give you agreement templates you are welcome to customise and use.
- How to fight fatigue in the voice booth on long recording sessions.
- You'll understand the basics of audio editing using Adobe Audition and other similar programs.
- And understand the world of the audiobook and the ACX system that puts narrators and authors together, and how you’ll get paid.
Requirements
- You should be excited about wanting to take your acting or voiceover skills to the next level of being a trained Voice Actor, where you can offer character voices and be much more flexible with your voice.
- You should have an open mind and be able to criticise your current voice and narration skills.
- You should be prepared – to prepare! Solid preparation is key to getting the best results – the best voice actors rehearse and try out new voices all the time for new fiction audiobook characters or for parts in video games and cartoons - if you want great results, you should be prepared to do the same.
- You’ll need an audio recording device; a phone in a quiet area is fine to start with, but we have extensive detailed information as to how to set up a professional recording facility at your home.
