SYNOPSIS

In commercial voiceover, actors are frequently expected to turn words and concepts into works of audio and visual art.  But, the words on the page can be a bit confusing sometimes, making it difficult to reach the summit.  That confusion can sometimes begin to build when reading through the specs..  Urgh...the specs.  The specs are a detailed mix of instruction and aspiration that sets the tone for how the copy can be voiced to maximize the impact of the spot.  Well, at least in theory.  In this class we are going to harness the power of brand awareness,  identify the demographics, establish the tone, creatively deliver the message and get the win! Let's see what we can do together.  Read the REQUIREMENTS for important details.

Instructor, Eric Hurst (Don LaFontaine Voiceover Lab Audio Engineer/Booth Director
