This is a taster class for our Voice Acting Foundation course.
Join if you want to experience voice acting for yourself.
​
​We’ll talk you through the different worlds of voice acting (it’s not all Disney and Pixar) and the unique opportunities they hold for voice actors.

Join this free class and discover:

• How to read from the page and sound like you’re not
• Simple tricks to make your read more interesting
• How your own voice responds to instructions and prompts
• And so much more …

You will even get a chance to read a script out loud and get to improve your reading.
​
We will have a short Q&A session at the end of the class so bring any questions you might have about voice acting.

The workshop is led by voice actor Shaun Mendum.
Hi, I'm Shaun,
Ironically, I started my journey as a ballet dancer!
But I now have many years of experience as an actor, performer, and, of course, a voice actor.
I performed in video games, animation, audiobooks, audio drama, documentaries, and more…
I also produce audio and am currently creating a six-part audio series.
I occasionally give talks about getting started in voice acting at Comic Con London and EGX London.
As a teacher, I’m patient, generous, honest, and will create a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment.
I can’t wait to work with you
Watch Shaun talks about the workshop here

You don’t need any experience in voice acting/ acting
You don’t need to be a native English speaker
& you don’t need a fancy microphone
Just come and discover this new way to be playful and deliver a message

It’ll be great if you’re in a quiet space with no interruptions.
Ideally, a space where you feel comfortable enough to read a silly script aloud.

This 60min session is packed with interesting stuff and we will start on time.
Please arrive a few minutes early so you don’t miss anything.
