Zoom: Character & Animation V/O Technique - 5 Week Online Class with PAUL LIBERTI, Voice Director and Casting Director

Monday, April 8, 2024, 6:30pm ET / 3:30pm PT

Developing your very own unique characters is essential for every V/O actor out there! Every voice over script you will ever read is playing someone. You are never just a voice in a void.

Characters range from natural real people -- to the extreme over the top! Audio book actors, commercial actors, animation actors and even narrative voice actors all need to develop characters. Your rep company of characters need to be ready to go at a moments notice, under pressure at auditions.

Now learn the inside secrets and tips from a working VO professional! There truly is no other class like this in NYC..taught by veteran voice actor from Nickelodeon, PBS, Noggin, Pokemon, Disney and former Muppet performer Paul Liberti.

EVENT OVERVIEW:

You'll learn about voice placement, the facial mask and how you can create different sounds and vibrations that allow you to revisit the same characters again and again. Gain insider tips and tricks, marketing for the character voice actor, and unique in-class and extended at home character exercises for the actor to sustain characters and get work!

This class is for adults and teens (14+).
