SYNOPSIS

In voiceover, you can master all of the vital acting skills (mic technique, copy analysis, decoding the spec, product research, point of View, breath control and body engagement) and yet miss the most important element of bringing words to life.  You—your heart; your mind; your life experience; you.  How do we step into someone else's words with all of our tools and not leave ourselves behind? By zeroing in on the Natural Music of the English language.  That is what conveys the intention and meaning of the words and delivers the writer's intention.  

In this class, Keri Tombazian will cover advanced techniques and her Music of the English Language process to help you recognize and hold onto that which makes you unique, and how to take it to the mic., the stage, the camera.  Whether voicing commercials, video games, narration, animation, audiobooks or on-camera, be ready to say, "Here I am."

INSTRUCTOR BIO

Keri Tombazian

Keri enjoys a robust spectrum of work built over decades as one of the top booking women in voice over. She is a lady of firsts: One of the first women to crack network promos.  As a young artist, she was the voice of the computer on the first Mattel home video game, the first female to guest host for Casey Kasem's American Top 40 and the first Los Angeles based voice artist to sign with Atlas Talent when they debuted in LA. 

Keri is one of the rare voiceover artists who made the leap from radio. She spent years entertaining Southern Californians as the host of Night Grooves on 94.7 The Wave. Catch her now on tv voicing CBS Network promos, as Dr. Faith Carter in the #1SiFi podcast on Apple and Spotify—See You In Your Nightmares, and the branding voice for California Energy.
