Synopsis
We’ve all heard the direction, “Like you’re talking to a friend.” And thought, “I don’t talk to my friends about car insurance with a smile on my face and a slight rasp in my voice...” But now, there is a trend of truly natural reads out there that sound arguably more conversational than what was considered conversational only a few years ago.
Join industry powerhouse Donna Jay Fulks for a workshop that explores this ultra modern grounded sound and focuses on helping each participant cultivate a sincere approach to commercial copy.
A few days prior to class, participants will be sent instructions and copy and asked to submit an MP3. During class, Donna will play the submitted work, offer feedback and give each participant an opportunity for a live re-read. After the participant has finished working, Donna will share the final spot that was produced for that piece of copy.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to work on mastering this latest trend in voiceover in a supportive, lively and creative environment!
