Do you speak another language in addition to English? Say...Italian, Igbo, Spanish, Yoruba, German, Japanese, Korean? ADR groups are often looking for fluent multi-lingual actors for a host of projects.  We have previously hosted ADR workshops at the VO Lab, but this 3-class series will go deeper to help you master the art of group ADR.

You will breakdown types of shows, how and what to research, developing voices and characters, accents, languages, practice at how to "read’ the screen, how to determine what’s needed in scenes, reading copy, and during the last class participate in a mock ADR session.

You must attend all three (3) classes. The classes are on:
