SYNOPSIS
The work of background voice acting, aka Group ADR or “Loop Group”, is one of the most vibrant, fun, and sought after jobs in Hollywood. Like all areas of acting, it is highly competitive and requires specific skills from the moment you walk in. Andrew Dawson is in a unique position to teach those skills, having worked on both sides of the mic, as an ADR supervisor and voice actor for almost 30 years. The class will address the entire process, what you need to succeed, and the chance to record scenes taken from projects Andrew has worked on.
