Voice-over workshop

[uftaki]

Awesomeness... pure awesomeness. XD Oohh... it was so much fun! And very informative, too. :D

Marcy led us off, for the first half of the day. She explained some basic pointers, how commercial voice-overs are handled, how to prepare for them, how to read for them, etc. Then, one-by-one, we each went into the booth to record our own commercial spot. She gave us coaching, and suggestions, and feedback. She was very friendly, and quite fun. :D

After lunch, it was Scott's turn. And, as can be expected, it was a blast. XD He just is so ANIMATED at out there... you never get tired listening to him. *lol* He covered a lot of the same points Marcy did... telling us what to expect from voice-auditions, tips on being a voice actor, a lot of coaching and suggestions on how to expand/liven up our readings.

Then, as before, we each got our own individual character to do an 'audition' for, and had a booth recording session. I ended up reading for Override. XD *snrk!*

Everyone I met there was really friendly, and we all seemed to have a blast at this. :D Everyone did a great job. ^___^

We got a CD of our 'best' recordings, at the end, as well as a few more tips and pointers. It was a long day, but it just seemed to rush by. I had a fantastic time. Loved it! X3

Is this like a tour thing? If so, do you know if they plan to come to the US?

*shakes head* It's not a tour at all. Since all the studios are up here, and they all work here... I would imagine it's just something that's offered up here, occassionally. ^_^; Sorry. :(

It's not the first time this has been offered, though, and it won't be the last, most likely. Marcy Goldberg is the one who organizes the workshops. I don't know when the next one will be scheduled for. I can ask, though, if you're curious about coming up to one. One of the guys in the workshop, today, actually came up from somewhere around the LA, California area. ^_^

Sounds like you had a lot of fun. I'd also be interested to know when the next workshop would be. I live in Washington, so it wouldn't be too much of a drive for me, and my brother keeps saying I should do voice overs for cartoons. ^_^
