External Resources

Sources
Optional YouTube video links will be shared for each session. This allows the instructor to respect copyright protection while still presenting valuable resources. Parent Advisory: The optional YouTube links share some really great videos that help kids learn about voiceover and voice acting. In order to avoid streaming and copyright issues I am sharing the YouTube Links. Videos marked * on the video list would be more appropriate for teen students as they main contain some bleeped or non bleep profanity. Nearpod is used in this class to make independent learning more interactive and fun.
