Synopsis

Join sought after narrator James Romick for an audiobook workout with a surprise ending! In this small group session each participant will be given ample and equal time to read, receive feedback and face an unexpected challenge. This session is about practice, not perfection. Come warmed up and ready to dive in. 

Requirements

Each participant is required to source their own copy. Copy must be approximately 2 minutes in length (about 320 words long) and must be from a book (i.e. not a commercial, animation, video game, etc). Copy can be from any genre including non-fiction. Participants are encouraged to select something challenging and/or out of their comfort zone. Participants will be given instructions to email a PDF of their script a few days before class. Please do not delay. Be familiar with the script. But, please do not rehearse it.

This will be a small group of participants. Please refrain from RSVPing for this class if you have already taken it this past July. 

Instructor Bio 

James Romick has been a member of SAG-AFTRA since 1980.  Between acting gigs in the mid 1980s, James also studied audio engineering at The Institute of Audio Research in NYC when editing analog magnetic tape with a splicing block and razor blade was the norm. Although he has a working knowledge of many different DAWs, James is a REAPER devotee and offers one-on-one sessions via Zoom on how to set it up and configure it for voiceover and audiobook production.
