Class Experience

The human voice is an incredible instrument. This class will teach the secrets of creating voice over characters.  Each learner will get the opportunity to explore the different aspects of voice control to develop a variety of voices. We will practice pitch, cadence, and emotion and other techniques used to control the voice.  I start each session with some simple warm ups and then jump into an interactive session of script reading, character development and simple improv scene building.  I am an enthusiastic instructor and have been directing improv for 15 years.  Your learner will get the opportunity to become comfortable doing voices in a positive environment.
