SYNOPSIS
Join industry powerhouse Donna Jay Fulks for a delightful tour of VO possibilities! In this session Donna will discuss various voiceover genres and the nuances and techniques talent can use when working in a specific category. A handful of readers will have the opportunity to perform audition copy and receive feedback. After working on the read, Donna will show the final version of the produced work. Don't miss out on this enlightening (and fun!) workshop with a voiceover industry expert.
PLEASE NOTE: This class will have a limited number of spots for readers. If you are a reader you will be notified before class and randomly assigned copy. As this class will cover several categories of voiceover, readers will not be able to choose their own copy. If this is not to your liking, please refrain from signing up as a reader. Once the class is marked 'full' the waitlist will be opened. If you wish to audit the session (i.e. listen and watch only without the opportunity to read), please add your name to the waitlist. All members on the waitlist will be considered seated as auditors. If you do not wish to attend as an auditor, please refrain from putting your name on the waitlist.
REQUIREMENTS
All readers in this session are asked to join via Zoom from a home set-up (i.e. an acoustically treated space and with a microphone - USB microphone is acceptable). As this class will cover several categories of voiceover, readers will not be able to choose a specific category to work on. If this is not to your liking, please refrain from signing up as a reader. For auditors, a home set-up is not required. Participants on the waitlist will be considered auditors. Participants are required to check-in before the start of class and remain for the duration of the session.
