Synopsis

Mastering true crime narration demands a unique blend of compassion, authority, and technical skill. This workshop, led by acclaimed voice talent and veteran true crime narrator Paula Tiso, will introduce you to the tools necessary to craft a performance that connects with your audience while honoring those affected by these high-stakes stories. 

Paula will kick off  the workshop with a brief lecture that covers a range of topics from how to audition for this type of narration to what to expect in a booked session. Following the presentation a handful of pre-selected participants will have the opportunity to test drive the concepts presented in the lecture on true crime scripts and receive feedback and redirection from Paula. The workshop will conclude with a Q&A. For anyone curious about what it takes to succeed in the true crime genre, this session is not to be missed! 

Format

This session will consist of a lecture, a demonstration of a small group of pre-selected readers and a Q&A. 

Please note: This class will have a very small number of pre-selected readers. Readers will be notified a few days  before class and sent a packet of scripts to chose from with instructions. Due to time constraints most participants will not have the opportunity to read but will be able to listen, learn and participate in the Q&A.
