SYNOPSIS
As a voiceover actor, do you ever think about how well the voiceovers you hear on TV, the Net, radio or wherever, fit the brands they represent? If you don't, you should. If you do, this class is a good fit for you.
How is your own voice perceived by those around you? Is your unique voice signature more Tesla or Ferrari? Are you the voice of XBox or Atari? Does your voice speak old soul or scream wild child?
This class will help you identify some of the things that your voice does best and the role demographics, product categories and brands can play in the process. Be prepared to read, take direction and find out what your voice sells.
Program duration: 2.5 Hours
