tal@theatregym.co.uk - The Technique of (many) Characters - 4-week courseLink visible for attendees$240.00
An online vocal technique course for voice acting.
We'll show you how to:
- Voice very different characters for the same project (a common request in video games and animation) and shift quickly between them.
- Read an audiobook with different character voices and go back to exactly the same voice for each character.
- Do all of this in a healthy way that will keep your voice ready for the next project for years and years to come.
What do we mean by "technical"?
- How to control the different parts of your voice box.
(Not just theory, actual excises that you'll practice until you can do it) - How to technically produce different voices and sound qualities.
(manipulating your larynx in different ways and then mixing it up) - Breath control, voice placements, controlling tonality and so much more…
To do this, we'll work with voice acting scripts, making up and playing with different characters.
It'll be fun!Hi, I'm Sandra
I'm a blind voiceover artist.
I'm also a classically trained soprano singer, a stage and TV actor and a radio presenter.
My Opera career gave me the tools to understand and control the voice in a way that I found extremely beneficial for my voice acting career.
I'd love to teach you that technique too, so you can stand out from the crowd in your mastery of your instrument.
Oh, and I'd love to hear what characters you'll be bringing into the sessions :)The course is open to all (complete beginners included)
- No voice or voice acting training is needed
- You don't need a good voice
- You don't need any special equipment
- You don't need to be a native English speaker
