SYNOPSIS
Commercial Voiceover demos are the focus of this class. You do not need to have a commercial demo or submit a commercial demo to attend this class. Voiceover demos are to voiceover actors, what headshots are to on-camera actors. They can help you get the attention of voiceover agents and managers, as well as open doors to voiceover auditions and work.
Anna produces voiceover demos and has important ideas about how you can create a great first commercial demo or make your current commercial voiceover demo better. We will learn:
Already have a commercial demo? Anna will listen to several demos from actors in the class and offer feedback, and suggestions.
Note: Due to time constraints, not all submitted commercial demos will be reviewed.
