SYNOPSIS
SAG-AFTRA young performers ages 10-17 are invited to participate in this special event.
V.O. veteran Lynnanne Zager will help teen actors learn the ins and outs of commercial voiceover auditions and instruct them on how to use their acting chops to book voiceover jobs. In the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s state-of-the-art recording studio, performers will record copy while Lynnanne offers direction and coaching, so come prepared to show her what you can do.
Please note: This is a 2.5 hour class. It will end at 7pm.
