Presenting:
VOICE ACTING – Animation Audition Techniques
This webinar gives you a step-by-step process on how to nail an animation audition. I take you from a sheet of paper with a picture and some lines on it to a full-blown killer delivery in your interpretation of the character. I’ll help you find the funny!
We’ll work with these six steps—and maybe more:
1. Who are you in the cast of characters, and what is your relationship to the other characters?
2. What does the character look like and how should that physical look affect your acting choices?
3. What’s the action in the scene you are reading?
4. What’s the emotion in the scene and lines you are reading?
5. How can you—as a VO artist—learn to think like an animator?
6. Where has the writer left you some ad lib spaces you can utilize?
