Voice Over Workshop

Voice-Over Workshop

Chances are someone has said to you, "You have a great voice, you should do commercials!" or you thought it would be really cool to be a Voice Actor. You may have a great voice and being a Voice Actor is really cool. However having a great voice is like having an expensive 5 speed BMW. It's nice, but will do you no good until you learn how to drive a stick/manual transmission.


If you’ve ever wanted to be the voice everyone hears on TV and radio commercials, or documentary and audio book narrations? Here is your chance to move toward an exciting new adventure called voice-over.



Mike Ray will help bring out the best in you! Actor, comedian, radio host, and voice over talent, Mike Ray is holding a voice over workshop on Sat. April 10th from 11:30-4pm, at his studio in Stone Mountain, GA. This fun, informative, and empowering workshop will teach you what you need to know about the voiceover industry. The workshop will cover many different types of voiceovers and what it takes to get started as a voice actor. You will be coached, evaluated, and have an opportunity to step in side the recording booth and record.



Be ready to laugh, learn, and be inspired by comedian turned Actor and Voice Artist, Mike Ray.

Should You Join the Union?

Chez Group Workshop

We know that everyone enjoyed the opportunity to work with Jason Wood in the weekend workshop. He is an excellent instructor. It is exciting, because he really supports our actors both when he is casting projects in Atlanta as well as when they are in Los Angeles. We look forward to Jason's return in a few months.

Our April adult workshop will be conducted by Shannon Eubanks. She is a founding member of the Chez Group workshop program and continues to help strengthen the skill of actors at different levels of their craft. Always requested by our actors, we are pleased to have her joining us next month.

Our April workshop with Shannon Eubanks will provide a practical, step-by-step process which allows the actor (whether beginner or long-time professional) to move from script analysis, through internalization of the character and the scene, to cold reading / audition in a manner which allows their talent to manifest correctly FOR CAMERA. They will know the difference in performance styles for commercials vs. soaps & sitcoms vs. nighttime television and feature film. They will be filmed and watch playback so that they can monitor their adjustments and presentation.


Shannon Eubanks Shannon Eubanks’ acting, directing, writing, and teaching careers have been intertwined for over twenty-five years. She performs often on network television for NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, the Disney Channel, Lifetime, and the Family Channel; in feature films for 20th Century Fox, Columbia, and Warner Brothers, and was an award-winning theatre actor/director in Los Angeles for eighteen years, as well as across the United States in regional repertory. She has taught acting as a Guest Artist at the high school, college, and graduate level, for the Alabama Shakespeare Festival Conservatory and M.F.A. programs, and as a noted private coach in Los Angeles and now in Atlanta. Her cold reading and camera technique for actors has been developed and refined so as to be suitable for both absolute beginners and working professionals.

“Auditions often occur in atmospheres that are not supportive or nurturing to the art of acting. Often, actors study in situation where they don’t feel emotionally safe. My perspective as an experienced Acting and Life Coach is that with honest and direct insights, positively stated, Actors overcome long held fears and blocks and will make bolder choices, taking charge of their artistry and careers! I love helping actors identify their individuality and nurturing their growth while sharpening their competitive edge!”
Janice Kent


"Janice Kent has a wealth of experience in the acting profession. After a
session with her, I feel so at ease and confident in what I'm doing, that
I'm ready to work. She really has demystified the
auditioning process for me, and has changed my whole way of interviewing."

“Janice Kent's coaching has helped me immensely. I had trouble 'owning' the audition room before I met her. Suddenly, I was more confident and booking more work on a regular basis.”
