SYNOPSIS

In advertising, copywriters spend a significant amount time crafting copy for commercials. But, without compelling performances of that well crafted copy, things can go south quickly. That means actors, specifically, voiceover actors, play a crucial role in the process.  In voiceover, most tend to focus on how a voice actor sounds, but how a voice actor sells is actually more important.  In this class, you will work on connecting to your true voiceover voice and learn how your true voice can appeal to advertisers and brands.  Read the REQUIREMENTS below for more important details.
