Assessment
I give positive feedback immediately and we try to adjust the techniques to improve during the same section.. I am a very positive evaluator.

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.

Week March 6th:   The 9 elements of the voice and how to use them
Week March 13th:  Emotions and how to utilize them in script reading
Week March 20th: Script reading and memorization techniques
week March 27th:  Putting it all together for auditioning.

Learning Goals

Students will learn the different aspects of vocal variety. We will develop several different characters and learn how to use them effectively.  Each week we will discover new ways to get the most out of your voice acting skills.  Building a foundation to continue creating fun and exciting new voice characters.

Other Details
