SYNOPSIS

Everett Oliver wants to hear how you interpret and perform animation sides/scripts when self-recording and self-directing.  Participants will need to be able to submit a recorded  "audition" using the sides/scripts that we will provide, once you register for the class. You will have ample time to choose a character and record your submission from home or other recording location.  

Actors will email their recorded audio file on Monday, August 11, 2025 for Everett to review in class on Tuesday, August 12, 2025 .  After reviewing the submitted audio files, Everett will offer redirection and direct LIVE in class to help actors punch up their performance and get you to the next level.

Australia, Canada, Europe and Japan.

REQUIREMENTS

Frequency Restriction: If you attended Everett's class on April 9, 2025, you are not eligible to attend this class.  We want to ensure that other actors have an opportunity to attend.

All participants on the RSVP list and on the Waitlist must be able to provide a self-recorded and self-directed voiceover performance from the sides/scripts we will provide, in order to attend the class.  When you add your name to the RSVP list or the Waitlist, we will try to email you the animation sides/scripts and submission instructions within 2 hours.  For those on the Waitlist, prepare your audio submission, because you may be moved to the RVSP list, if a seat becomes available.

Know the cancellation deadline (see above).

Small group format with a maximum of 16 actors attending.  The first 10 actors on the RSVP list will be readers and work directly with our instructor.  The remaining 6 seats will be for auditors (auditors attend the class, but are not readers).  If you would like to be considered for an auditor seat (if RSVP seats are not available), add your name to the Waitlist.  We will notify the 6 auditors at least 24 hours before the start time of the class.
