Every actor has heard the expression, “you are enough.” It reminds us we do not need to “push” to express our own humanity in the work we do. Still, to be effective voicing commercials, it is crucial we learn the particular skills and technique necessary to bring our authentic selves to the copy in order to bring an ad writer’s words to life. We learned the Music of the English Language long before we understood words. We sing it every time we speak, and it is at the heart of everything we do as actors. Connecting this music to scripted works is foundational to understanding commercial copy.
Join actor and voiceover artist Keri Tombazian in her two-day workshop where you’ll spend meaningful time refining new skills and connecting them to skills you already possess. Together, you’ll dive deep into the one thing which, once mastered, is a game changer: copy analysis. You’ll immerse yourselves in everything from what it means to bring your authentic self to the mic, to how to connect with the music of the English Language and how to identify the writer’s intent, all in a space where everyone is valued.
Learn essential tools of the art - including copy analysis, decoding the spec, identifying point of view, body engagement, mic technique, and how these tools apply to each distinct setting.
