Orientation is the first step to enrolling in the services of The Career Center. 

The Career Center addresses a central challenge for performing arts and entertainment professionals: navigating the episodic nature of work in the industry. For many, survival work—initiated to make ends meet—ends up draining the creative professional and becoming more of a problem than a solution. This orientation will help you begin to take the necessary steps to identify meaningful work that complements your life in the entertainment business.

Acting is collaborative, correct? We think so, but it seems that voice actors seldom get to work side-by-side, especially on commercial voiceover.  That was an "ah ha" moment for us, so we decided it was high time to create a tag team commercial voiceover workout for you and your fellow voice actors. With that in mind, Dynamic Duos was born.  We provide the copy and some direction, you provide the acting chops and some opinions, and together we get to make a little VO magic for 3 hours.  It takes two (and sometimes three) to tango.  Come for the dance, stay for the fun.

REQUIREMENTS

• Frequency Restriction: Apologies, but if you have participated in Dynamic Duos within the last 30-days you are not eligible for this offering.
• If you make the RSVP list for this edition of Dynamic Duos, but participate in a Dynamic Duos workout within 30-days of the start date of this edition, you will be ineligible to participate in this Dynamic Duos workout.
• Attendees must stay for the entire 3-hour program, which is from 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. (Pacific) / 4:30 - 7:30 p.m. (Eastern)
• This is not an entry level voiceover program.  If you are new to voiceover or have limited experience in the craft, we suggest that you attend the VO Lab's Beginner Bundle: Intro to Dialogue Voiceover before participating in this program. 
• A computer with video capabilities, microphone (USB, analog or computer mic) and headphones/earbuds.
• A stable Internet connection, as this program will be using an online group/meet application.
