SYNOPSIS
Commercial Voiceover is still the reigning leader for voiceover opportunities. It is the most popular voiceover genre and keeps on growing. To prepare for such opportunities, there are a few things actors need to master. In this class, our instructor, Anna Garduno, aims to make you your own best director, so you can recognize whether you are making the most of the text to illuminate the copy and make your acting performances stand out to help you book the job. Anna will focus on how to achieve various reads, including: conversational, throw it away, talking to a friend, aspirational, flat, do less, athletic, confident, poetic and others. You will also work on script analysis , tone, change of pace, point of view and improv. Expect this class to be fun, practical and to inspire confidence in your acting.
