SYSNOPSIS
What has Townsend not done as a performer? Um, nothing! Animation voiceover, commercial voiceover, theatre, TV, lead singer of a multi-platinum world traveling boy band. Actually, not too sure about that boy band situation, but the rest...yes, he has done it and does it.
In this class though, he is promo focused and of course he has accomplished a few little things in that world, as well (see Instructor Bio below). His aim for the evening is to help you make stylistic choices that make your promo voiceover stand out and give you a better understanding of the inner workings of the promo voiceover universe. Plus, we night cap the evening with an action packed Q&A, so have some questions.
