A workshop created for experienced voiceover artists by the incredibly talented voice actor and teacher, Dian Perry. You will come away from this workshop inspired, invigorated, with confidence, knowledge, as well as having a new insight into working in animations.

"As an actor, your character development is fundamental when preparing for a role and in this preparation a suitable character voice is essential in order to create a credible performance. My experience at Dian's Character Voice Workshop gave me confidence to reach new and exciting elements of my voice, as well as stretching my comfort zones as a performer. Dian's personable and helpful approach created a great rapport with the group which allowed everyone to relax and explore their voices freely. It was a truly fascinating and fun workshop I believe every actor should experience." - Steph Brooks, former student - Cambridge School of Visual & Performing Arts
“It was very refreshing having a practitioner such as Dian open us up to such a specialised craft which she was so invested in. Not only did she have exemplary experience in her field and a world of knowledge to share with her students, but a caring and understanding nature which led us, as a group and as individuals, to feel safe and feel able to play and experiment in a creative and fun environment. Dian is an excellent practitioner who I would thoroughly recommend to anyone or any company, she is highly trained and very fun to work with.” - Ben Alderton, former student - Cambridge School of Visual & Performing Arts
