This is a taster session for our course: Technique of (many) Characters.
Join us for a practical workshop to explore characters and voice work.

If you love doing voices,
When reading a bed time story, playing D&D, or just goofing around -
Then you already do character voices instinctively.
You just don't know how you're doing it.

Join this free class and discover:

• What elements shape a character voice
• Why some voices are easy to repeat and others disappear
• How professional voice actors stay consistent and protect their voice
• What kind of vocal control is actually trainable

This is a practical workshop.
You will learn about your voice and how it works
and you will also get to use your voice and try different things

The workshop is led by voice actor Sandra Gayer.
Sandra is a voice actress and a trained Opera singer.
She is Theatre Gym's master of vocal technique and teaches a few courses with Theatre Gym.

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 make silly voices :)

Please arrive a few minutes early so you don’t miss anything.

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 reading 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 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 Jen Bradley.
Jen is an experienced voice actor who’s worked in the UK, Canada and the US.
She worked for global brands including Dove, Philips and Clearblue, and is currently voicing Luna in MoCo.
There’s nothing she loves more than to be trapped in her little padded cell (voice booth!), talking to herself. She'd love to share her enthusiasm with you and get you to experience voice acting for yourself.
