Alburger, author of “The Art of Voice Acting,” and VoiceActing Academy Creative Director, Penny Abshire. Attendance is strictly limited to 20 participants and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. We expect this event to sell out quickly. HERE’S JUST SOME OF WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: The 7 Core Elements of performance and how to apply them to ANY script! Just what is IEEO and why it is important in every VO performance. Why you cannot simply “read” a script How to craft your auditions to put you ahead of the crowd. Why you are not in the “voiceover” business. How to create compelling, believable, real characters that tell stories. Tons of performance “tricks” and “secret” techniques. and much, much, more! YOU’LL START WITH THREE WEBINARS TO GET YOU UP TO SPEED: Immediately after registering for this event, you will be directed to a page where you can download your registration package and any pre-event handout materials.

After each webinar, you will be given a short “test” on what you learned during the webinar. When you complete each “test” you will be given a link to the next webinar. After completing all three webinars, you will be on a web page that has all three webinar playbacks for you to watch whenever you choose. You can log in to your member account to access this page whenever you need a refresher. We put the bulk of our lecture material into the webinar format so that we can focus our time during the workshop working with you on-mic. This also allows us to move more quickly during the workshop, so your time on-mic will truly be intensive and of maximum benefit. We’ll be referring back to the webinar content throughout the event, so if you have not watched the webinars, you may be left in the dust!
