Getting Paid To Talk, Making Money with Your Voice
is
a single evening class that takes a realistic and entertaining
look at the positive and negative components of building success as a voice actor in your area. Our instructor will discuss
both the creative and business aspects of our field. In addition to having the opportunity to hear voice acting demos
from working professionals, each student will have the opportunity to record a real script under the direction of our
producer right there in the class. Each student’s recording
is then played back at the end of the session as a class finale. Throughout the class students are encouraged to ask
questions and our instructor is always willing to provide basic
voice assessment to anyone attending.
