SYNOPSIS

This intensive workshop for the professional actor is designed to help you "Wake the Beast" within and translate raw, primal movement and vocalizations into compelling digital performance. Actors will explore the unique physicality, mindset, and vocalizations of "other than human" characters, essential for the Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror genres. Through a series of dynamic physical drills, you'll learn to build fantastic yet realistic creature performances for both Vocal & Performance Capture (PCap) and traditional media, giving you the pro-tips needed to nail your next non-human audition and expand your character range.
