'BEYOND NARRATION - Freeing Your Mind, Body & Voice for Exceptional Reads'
with Dian Perry
in London
Voiceover Narration is the key to having a successful and sustainable voiceover career. It is often referred to as the bread and butter of a voiceover's career. It's not just about booking the jobs but it is important to make sure you nail the read so that your client comes back with more work.
Many voice over books and workshops address the craft of narration, including some solid techniques which can be really useful in turning out a decent read.
But, what goes on inside a great narrator to make them great?
How do you get ‘out of your head’ and be fully present when you’re narrating?
How can you get connected to the text and invested in the client’s message?
How do you keep your inner critic from derailing your read?
How can you find work in this lucrative area of voice over?
This intensive two day workshop will answer these questions and many more. There will also be ample recording time in a professional audio suite.
The workshop is designed specifically for those who want to get out of their heads and LEARN ways to CONNECT with the MESSAGE in their scripts. Previous attendees say;
'Informative and with a good mix of practical coaching & advice.'
IN THE STUDIO
Both days will be held at Casual Films, London.
On Day One, this wonderful venue provides a spacious area to learn as you will focus on the mind, body and voice triad and much more PLUS an in-depth Q&A where you can learn about demo reels, the industry - what's happening now and what to prepare for, and so much more.
On Day Two, you’ll take the tools you learned on day one and RECORD LIVE in a professional studio with an engineer AND you'll receive an audio file of your recordings.
