Description: An often overlooked but very significant component of today’s media is the voice-over industry. From radio ads, to audiobooks, to animated cartoons and films, and dubs of foreign media, this industry permeates so much of our everyday lives. As such, becoming proficient in the art of voice acting can lead you to gain a deeper understanding of how these forms of media are created and see this huge aspect of our world from a new perspective. This course seeks to provide an answer to the question: what makes a quality voice actor? Students will learn about the different ways one can become a voice actor, as well as the fundamental skills required for proficiency in the field, including the basics of audio editing software, proper recording technique, self-marketing, and of course, acting technique. Students will put their skills and knowledge to use through acting exercises, class discussions, recording projects, and ultimately creating their own demo reel.
