SYNOPSIS

Let's be real for a moment, commercial voiceover scripts are notorious for being vague, clunky and just  tough to figure out.  Breaking away from the typical and often monotonous cadence of a voiceover commercial is a difficult skill to master. As a 20+ year veteran in improvisation, Sara focuses her attention on finding the story underneath the words in voiceover scripts.  She also encourages performers to have fun with commercial voiceover auditions rather than dreading them and provides useful insights to help performers avoid the typical.

BE ADVISED: This is a large group class. All participants are encouraged to bring copy but NOT every student will get an opportunity to work. The instructor will take volunteers during class time and work with as many participants as possible. But not every participant is guaranteed a chance to read. If this is unacceptable to you, please refrain from RSVPing to this class. 


REQUIREMENTS

Participants are required to bring one piece of commercial copy  that they consider to be difficult, boring or would like help with. Copy must be commercial and no longer than 60 seconds.
