Uncovering your authentic character voices
Find the meaning in what you are saying
Taking risks to find connection to the story

On your mic, get set, GO!
Each day we will work on:
-
- What holds you back from booking, and working through your blocks – By working with me, you will experience a huge shift in your reads and a clear direct knowing of how to approach your auditions from here on in.
- Audition copy: Each participant reads and is given feedback from a casting P.O.V. You will gain a specific self empowering approach to each self tape audition so that you are not wasting your time trying to figure out what ‘casting’ wants to hear.
- Freeing up the voice, beginnings, ends, contrast, color in the voice & discovering how to use your sound/vocal instincts to create an authentic read. These are the key essential elements in booking the job. You will learn how to master all of them.
- Learning simple and effective Audition Preparation – Your energy matters! 75% of voice actors are recording at low energy vocal levels and they sound flat..If you are taping, you must learn what it means to bring energy and connection to your read, before you start recording your audition.
- Creating new character voices for your repertoire – You will walk away with a new repertoire of voices that will inspire all your future auditions and give you the confidence to take risks where you may not have in the past.
- Making the lines your own – You will quickly break through the blocks in your script reads, busting bad habits, and bringing life, humor and joy to every single self tape audition you do.
- Walla – Your physicality matters! How you interpret a character comes through the sound affects and laughter that we so often bypass when auditioning. Learn how you can use Walla to help you find the authentic character voice AND add humor to your reads.
- ‘Mastering Self Tapes’ is an Audition Intensive that teaches you how to take your auditions from good to booking the job.
