In this class, we'll discuss the differences between character voices from genre to genre (romance, sci-fi, YA, non-fiction, memoir, etc) and practice doing voices of various age and opposing genders. There will be exercises for aging the same character up and down as well as first person narration in both male and female voicing. This is not an accent class. No need to bring copy, your instructor will bring books for everyone to read from.
