Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this voice over class:

This performance-based class will give students the fundamental building blocks of voice over technique and help students to understand what producers are listening for when they hire students.

This introductory course focuses on the basics of voice over technique. It is designed to provide students with an overview of what attributes make for a good voice over performance (using real world examples) and explores current ‘fashion trends’ in voice over performance in a number of different genres. The differences between on-camera and stage acting compared to voice over acting will be explained.

The four foundational components of the speaking voice (tone, volume, inflection/pitch, tempo) will be discussed, and through the use of specific examples and exercises students explore how each component contributes to an effective voice over performance.

At the conclusion of this class, students will:

  • Understand the attributes of a good voice over performance and how to effectively incorporate those attributes in your reads
  • Be knowledgeable of the current trends in voice over performance in a number of different voice over genres, including:  commercial, corporate and video narration, documentary narration, animation/video games, and audiobook genres
  • Learn the difference between conversational reads and sounding like an announcer
  • Be fully conversant in the four foundational components of the speaking voice and use these components effectively in their own performances
Technique 101 is a performance based class, so please come prepared and ready to read! Your instructor will provide the scripts so no need to source any prior to the class.

    Jennifer Simms has so much energy. She is enthusiastic, animated and very encouraging in her feedback. It is my second class with Jenn. She delivered an insightful Q&A session that was valuable. Thank you.

    I really enjoyed the class. The class leader had high energy and made everyone feel included and comfortable. It was suitable for beginners but would make a great practice/ review session to people who have attended previously. I learnt a fair bit from the fantastic Q&A session at the end and from other participants. Thank you

    Good introductory/beginner VO Class. Minimal "on the mic" time for the students but does contain good information for the beginner.
  • Technique 101 Voice Over

    I thought it was good, she gave us good tips . I thought she would've started us off with some warm up exercises first. That would've been good to have in the tool belt especially for beginners and then start with lines. Overall, I enjoyed it.
