SYNOPSIS
So, you have a big audition or call back. You have worked very hard preparing your read and have planned exactly how to get every beat pitch perfect. You know precisely what you want to do, how you want to sound, and you are confident that you are going to nail the audition. But what happens if a casting director or voice director says: “you sound great, but I have a few adjustments?” You did not prepare for that, so what do you do?
Many times, casting directors give adjustments to learn more about your craft. They want to see if you can take direction and pivot quickly and to learn if you have more in you than what they hear. In this class, instructor Maggie Grant will help you improve your voice acting agility, so you can make quick decisions when behind the mic, change your point of view, and adjust your voiceover performances to meet the direction.
In this class you will learn:
