Beginning & Intermediate Voiceover
​
​This is for the talented voiceover actors who are just beginning to find their voices, learning how their instrument works – the mechanics of vocal technique. This includes learning how to dissect a script, create a voice organically and microphone technique. Actors will be exposed to all genres over the course of this fall session. (Animation, Commercial, Promo Narration etc.) They will also dip their voices into the way auditions work and what is expected of them. Yes – It is a blast of a class, but it is also a great opportunity for the budding voiceover artist to find out if this is indeed their calling. It is a prerequisite for the Advanced Voiceover Class.

Advanced Voiceover
​
​
This class is designed for voice artists who want to continue building their skills and explore voiceover at a deeper level. Together, we’ll strengthen technique, develop stronger listening and communication skills, and learn how to navigate different recording and audition environments with confidence and kindness. We emphasize positive community values—being supportive, respectful, and gracious in all situations—qualities that help students grow both creatively and socially.
Students who feel ready will also have the opportunity to begin creating a polished voiceover reel. Those interested in recording a reel may schedule optional production sessions, which tend to fill up quickly.
