Auditions 101

This performance-based class will help students approach auditions more effectively, and give them tools and techniques to use for future submissions and win more jobs.

Modern technology has made the voice over market more accessible than ever. If you have a reliable internet connection and a good home studio setup, you can send out auditions for jobs all over the world! But this accessibility can be a double-edged sword; when you submit an audition you will be competing with many, many other voice talents. Talk to any working voice actor and they will all agree that delivering a great performance in the recording studio with a director is the easy part of their job – getting chosen over dozens (or in some cases hundreds!) of other actors as the voice for a project is much more difficult.

At the heart of winning jobs is delivering successful auditions. As more voice over casting continues to move to online platforms, voice actors are expected to record quality performances in their home studios with little or no direction from the client or the casting director. So how can you possibly expect to win these auditions without the help of a director in your home studio?

In this high energy, interactive class students read actual scripts as if they were real auditions for live critique by our qualified coach. The scripts will be selected each month just prior to the class by the our staff to keep each class fresh and new!

At the conclusion of this class, students will:

• Be better prepared to take a script and deliver a winning performance
• Learn what elements a casting director looks for in the auditions, and develop a sense of what they want to hear
• Gain essential skills to self-direct auditions, and to self-critique their performances to improve them prior to submission
• Practice voice over audition etiquette 

Each class will focus on a new set of scripts, so no matter how many times you attend, you will always be able to learn something new!

Appropriate For: Casual Learners, Aspiring Professionals, and Working Professionals
