CHECK IN IS AT 6:15 SHARP.
THIS CLASS IS AN INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED CLASS FOR THOSE WHO EITHER ALREADY HAVE A DEMO OR ARE READY TO RECORD ONE.
All attendees are welcome to bring in their demos for evaluation.
Are you thinking of putting a demo together for the purpose of getting representation or work? How do you know what you should put on a reel? How do you find or create the right copy? How important are music and sound effects? What is the proper way to edit? How can you keep current in this competitive market? And how much should you expect to spend without getting ripped off?
In this workshop you will discover not only what makes a VO demo truly competitive, but also how it should be prepared, assembled and marketed.
Our instructor for this class, Sara Krieger, has not only created numerous VO reels for herself as a professional voice actor, but has also worked as a VO reel producer and coach for hundreds of students.
About our guest instructor
Sara Krieger transitioned from a celebrated music career in New York to become one of the most steadily working female actors in Voiceover. While her career in music included gigs at the Blue Note in NY and Japan, Jazz festivals around the world and Carnegie Hall (most notably as one of the original members of the Grammy award winning group ‘New York Voices’), what was originally intended to be a supplementary move to Voiceovers evolved into a full time and well-regarded career.
Sara has recorded accounts for Estee Lauder, Thermasilk, Orencia, Citbank, Unicef, HGTV, Fox TV,Bloomberg Radio and countless others. For the last 13 years of the show, she worked steadily on Late Night with David Letterman, as one of his monologue “skit voices”, as well as filling in for Dave’s regular on air announcer, Alan Kalter, in his absence.
Sara is also an accomplished voiceover coach and demo reel producer. In addition to her private coaching business, she has also taught many courses for the union’s “Business of the Biz” series, of which she was a co-creator. She recently moderated the successful SAG Foundation’s The Business panel, which presented "The Evolution of Women in Voiceovers” (which can be seen on YouTube).
