Mind, Breathe, and Voice Workshop

Description:

The frame up to your script interpretation is one of the most neglected parts of your interpretation experience. In this workshop we will teach you concepts that will help you slow down, connect to the moment so you can prime the pump on what you are there to do.

In the frame up is where we allow ourselves to focus on what matters the most before reading the copy. If you don’t slow down and allow yourself to be more mindful you will find yourself struggling to connect to what you are reading and experiencing in the booth. You’ll learn how to connect to your breath to create freedom in your voice that allows you to effortlessly shift into the vocal placement that serves the character.

DAY 1:

Mind

We create from a certain point of view that will open up our imagination. Pending on which part of your imagination you pull from will determine the outcome of what you are creating.

Breath

How you think affects how you breathe. Most voice actors don’t know how to use their breath to serve their voice work.

Voice

Resonance awareness and how to create characters.

DAY 2:

We will put the concepts into action. How to connect all 3 to your copy. Bring your own copy (1-2 scripts). Everything learned on Day 1 to implement on Day 2. Re-establish the premise quickly and go into copy.
