SYNOPSIS
For this class the focus is animation voiceover. Under the guidance of casting and voice director Donna Grillo, actors can expect to explore natural reads and serious takes, work on funny voicings and age ranges, and develop voice prints for non-human characters. There is a good amount of ground to cover, but if you are up for the challenge, it will be time well spent. Donna will also hold a brief Q & A about voicever casting, animation VO and other related topics.
