SYNOPSIS

In this class, scripts (along with audition submission instructions) will be distributed to the actors 1 -2 days before the class, so they can record their audio file from home. Actors will email their recorded audio file for Everett to review before arriving at the class. After reviewing the submitted audio files, Everett will offer redirection and direct LIVE in class to help actors punch up their performance and get them to the next level.

Australia, Canada, Europe and Japan.

Everett has worked on hit animated primetime shows including: The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Men in Black, Jackie Chan Adventures, Hellboy, and X-Men Evolution, (just to name a few), and has worked with animation industry titans, such as Disney, Columbia Tri-Star, and Film Roman/Starz.  One of the most valuable experiences that Everett brings to the table is his time as a Booth-Director for an LA based talent agency.
