Voice Acting Workshop: An Introduction

Tue, Sep 8 · 6:00 PM CEST

Atelier Auglein, Oppelner Str. 12, Berlin, DE

VOICE ACTING WORKSHOP: AN INTRODUCTION
Please pay HERE.

*** Limited spaces, please pay in advance to reserve a place ***

In the age of digital media there is a growing demand for voice-over artists, and all you need to enter the industry is a good voice, a laptop, and a decent microphone. From Youtube channels to radio, audiobooks to documentaries, this workshop offers a nuts and bolts approach to recording your own voice demo, finding paid work, and working with your voice to create a challenging but fun source of income.

In this playful, two-hour workshop, we will use games, exercises and mock recordings to explore your potential as a voice actor.
Participant numbers are limited, so each workshop will be intimate and focused. If there is enough interest, participants are invited to natter and network with other participants in a bar afterwards.

As a widely published writer, teacher and performer, Geoff draws on boundless humour and energy, as well as over twenty years of professional experience, to bring you an engaging workshop experience. He has provided voice-overs for the BBC, Waterstone's, Manchester University, Listening Books as well as a number of radio plays. He recently played the comic lead in a series of commercial films for Mercedes.

Previous workshops have received an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 (83 reviews)

Places are strictly limited to 8 participants. Please pay in advance to reserve your place.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Who is this workshop for?
Anyone who has a specific interest in the topic being explored, and wishes to develop their skills or understanding as a performer. If you've never performed before, and you have the confidence to explore new territory, come along!

PAYMENT DETAILS
You can book and pay directly with credit card HERE. Alternatively, make a €25 PayPal payment to editor.silverscript@outlook, with the name of the course, and you will receive a confirmation within 24 hours. Bank transfers are also possible: Name: Geoffrey Mills Bank: N26 IBAN: DE15 1001 1001 2625 9240 83BIC/SWIFT: NTSBDEB 1XXX Enquiries, please, to editor.silverscript@outlook.com

What's the refund policy?
Unfortunately no refunds, unless someone on the reserve list fills your place. It's a small group, so no-shows impact the workshop dynamic, and make it difficult if I've planned for a specific number of people. In rare cases it may be possible to transfer the credit to another workshop.

What should I bring? How can I prepare?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Bring a bottle (of water, not vodka).

Where is the workshop based?
Atelier Äuglein is a creative, co-working space in Kreuzberg with a dedicated practise room for musical & vocal arts. The practise room is in the basement. It's cosy and very 'Kreuzberg' i.e. rough and ready. rIf you don't like enclosed spaces with no windows (like many studios are), this one may not be for you.

Are you available for personal coaching and corporate training?
Oh, but of course. Just speak to me in person, or email me at editor.silverscript@outlook.com, or here in the Meetup group.
