This course will be held at Voice Coaches, 26 Vly Road, Colonie, N.Y. 12205.
From audio books, training material, animation, gaming, and commercials to socially
relevant content, television, and more, today’s voice-over field has become a great way
to leverage your individual interests, voice qualities, and communication skills in a whole
new way. Learn about how the industry really works today, trends in opportunity in the
community, and areas of future growth, and hear about the top traits casting professionals
look for when hiring voice professionals. Students will also hear samples from working
voice-over artists. Because this class is small, students will have the opportunity to record
a sample professional voice-over under the direction of our instructor, who can offer
feedback and advice. If you’ve ever wondered how to begin in voice-over part-time,
full-time, or for supplemental or retirement income, this workshop is a great, upbeat, and
realistic first step.
