Houston-Austin

Two or more voiceover actors tackling the same copy at the same time in the same recording space is an exciting proposition.  It requires good timing and the ability to literally read the vocal cadences of your partners, in order to keep the dialogue sounding natural, lively and conversational.  It's a bookable skill, that takes practice and focus. This program is specifically tuned for performers that are new to the idea of dialogue voiceover.  We will introduce concepts and direction that will help the teams working together, deliver reads that land in the pocket.

REQUIREMENTS

If you previously participated in a Beginner Bundle: Intro to Dialogue Voiceover, or Dynamic Duos: Commercial Workouts for Two (or Three), you are not eligible to participate in this offering.  Instead, look for our next Dynamic Duos: Commercial Workouts for Two (or Three) and sign up..   

This class is a gateway to our Dynamic Duos: Commercial Workouts for Two (or Three).  This program is intended for those that are not familiar with dialogue voiceover, that have not worked on dialogue copy and that have limited voiceover experience in general.  If this does not describe you, you are not eligible for this program.
