Synopsis:

What do your personal experiences have to do with your voiceover performances? Well, simply put, everything.   You have exactly what you need to feel comfortable and confident with scripted material, regardless of genre.  In this workshop the aim is for you to learn ways to connect your point of view to the material you are reading, because when you can do that, you are golden.  As a voiceover actor you are a storyteller.  You already know who you are and what you feel, so all that's left is to work on putting that into action.  Just be the best you, because everyone else is taken.

About our guest instructor:

Lori Alan started talking as soon as she fell out of the womb, and hasn't stopped since. A native of the Washington, DC area, her passion for entertaining led the five-year-old actress to make her television debut as the star of a Shakey's Pizza commercial. She went on to graduate with honors from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and set off cutting her teeth on the comedy circuit, as a longtime member of New York's Gotham City Improv (Groundlings East). 

Lori is perhaps best known for her award-winning voice-over work. At the First Annual Voice Arts Awards (the Academy Awards for Voice-Overs) Lori took first-place prizes for Outstanding Body Of Work and Outstanding National Television Commercial. She starred as Diane Simmons on Family Guy, Pearl the Whale on SpongeBob: Squarepants, Sue Richards, The Invisible Woman, on Marvel Comics' The Fantastic Four, and The Boss in the Metal Gear Solid video game trilogy. She’s proud to be a part of the Pixar Family. Voicing characters in Wall-e, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Monster’s University, Bonnie’s Mom in Pixar’s Toy Story 3, and Mother’s Sadness in Inside Out.

She now has a thriving voice over/on camera coaching practice as a means of giving back, as so many mentors did for her.
