Brush up on your voice over skills! Record a spot. Get feedback. Re-take!
Advanced Voice Over Workout is a 3-hour workout designed to give experienced voice over actors a place and the expert guidance to practice their technique. This is a great opportunity to add additional attitudes, colors or qualities to your technique toolbox and practice implementing the re-directs so you can be as flexible and direct-able as possible on your next gig.
Each actor will take turns in the booth recording the scripts and the re-take after Gene’s notes are given. Those not in the booth will be watching Gene record and edit in real time using Adobe Audition as well as watch the actor in the booth via camera. After the class is over, Verve will do a basic clean-up on the audio files and share the mp3s with the actors.
Actors should select and prepare two scripts they’d like to work on in class (1 mn or less) prior to the workout. Actors can bring in scripts of their own choice (commercials, industrials, audio books) or choose from Verve’s selection provided 3 days before the workshop. Bring 2 printed copies of each script (one for the actor, one for Gene). Since this is a get-up and go type of workout, please come fully warmed up.
Adult class. Open to ages 18+ with Voice Over Experience.

It’s common to self-record mp3 auditions and technology has made it fairly easy to do. But once you voice the track, then what? Gene Ganssle gives you practical tips and tricks to make your VO auditions (or any recordings) really shine. You could even start that demo reel! Gene will demonstrate editing on Adobe Audition, but the process works on most audio software. Students are encouraged to bring a laptop to the class as well as a recording of their voice to use.

Being physically and vocally warmed up is essential for actors. Laura Winstin leads this 2-day workout focused on creating a warm up that can be repeated and customized using methods from both Linklater and Lessac. In class one, she leads you through a full physical, vocal and mental warm up protocol and in class two, gives you variations that can be adapted to your available time and warm up location. Students will bring a recording device to each class so that they can capture the warm-ups and apply them in their real life audition and acting opportunities.
Dress in workout wear. Bring a recording device, a wine cork and have 4-12 lines of text memorized and available.
