Learn the basics of voice over acting in this class. Each week we will discuss the techniques of effective voice over acting, practice reading voice over scripts, and receiving feedback. If students have a particular piece of writing they would like to practice reading, they may bring it to class, but the teacher will provide real scripts for learners to read. Genres of voice over we will learn are audio books, radio jingles, animated films, video games, commercials, and movie scripts. Learners will read scripts individually and with others during the course. We will also discuss the process actors go through to prepare their parts, study the scenes, and deliver solid voice over performances. This class is for any level: from absolute beginner to seasoned actor. All are welcome to attend, read a script, and learn how to become a voice over actor.

Hello and Welcome! My name is Kristen I am a performer, voice over actor, teacher, and videographer. I have the honor of being awarded the Music & Arts: Teacher Of The Year Award.
As a performer, I have traveled the world performing as a lead singer onboard Carnival Cruise Lines. I have worked on seven ships in their fleet and performed several genres of music on stage. I have also worked as an actor in New York City. I have auditioned and traveled around the United States for jobs performing in musicals. My favorite shows are Disney's Mary Poppins (Mary), South Pacific (Nellie), and She Loves Me (Amalia).
As a teacher, I am currently a music teacher at an academy. I have taught and hosted live and virtual classes in music, theatre, auditioning, and public speaking. My goal is to prepare students for their auditions and performances so they are not as nervous and feel confident in themselves.
As a videographer, I run a YouTube channel documenting my travels as a teacher and performer. Working online has taught me about video-story-telling, graphics, editing, and proper lighting.
My upcoming events as an actress:
-Playing Carole King In "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical"
-Cathy in The Last Five Years
-Soloist with the Linked Up Concert Series by Carnegie Hall
-Voice Over Commercials (under contract) for 2024-25 ads
