Overview
Cultural & Creative Industries Skillnet and Bow Street Academy are delighted to present this masterclass with Peter Warnock.
Overview
95% of voice reels fail because actors just want it done and don’t take the time to research, plan and practise first. Without taking the right steps, those expensive reels will end up at the metaphorical bottom of your drawer! A reel needs your personality on it.
This unique, fast-paced day masterclass will explore some of the most exciting areas of the voice-over industry including commercial voice-overs and voice acting for video games, we will also spend 90 mins looking at ADR ( audio dialogue replacement) and have a short discussion on the labour of love that is audiobooks.
It’s a completely immersive and practical masterclass – there’ll be very little sitting around here! Instead, participants will be up on the mic, shaking off any nerves and starting to build the technique and discover the vocal range needed for the vast world of voice-over.
What will this course cover?
- what goes on a variety of voice reels including commercials and games.
- how to approach copy
- how to approach the microphone
- good vocal habits
- how to nail auditions
- how to self-direct
- the nuts and bolts of working in the voice over industry
- about voice over kit, home studios and the costs involved
You’ll also learn about using pitch, resonators, mouth shape, physicality, rhythm, phrasing and more – all of which form your toolbox for developing a never-ending range of characters, voices and being believable.
Your voice is a musical instrument! – give it the focus, energy, practice, care and love it needs and it will reward you a thousand times over.
