The Voice-Over Artist: A Complete Voice Training Program

Descripción

The human voice is believed to be the first musical instrument and has been used since the dawn of humanity for ritualistic purposes and storytelling-a means of passing down traditions, histories, and collective knowledge across generations. The voice is both cultural and personal, and our individual voices are as unique as fingerprints. In today's world, amidst A.I. voices, discovering and owning our unique vocal signature with its emotions, expressions, inner fears and desires, is not only important but necessary. For aspiring voice-over actors, the game has changed. A lot of the simple techniques used in the older days of VO are becoming less applicable. Tricks like push and pull back, up-down inflection, the typical 'narrator VO' voice, etc. are copied all too well by AI generated voices. What's hot now is local accents, authenticity, diverse voices and emotional connection. And this course is going to teach you how to enhance all of that. It's never been a better time to be yourself. So whether you're an aspiring voice-over actor, content creator, a stage or screen performer, teacher, public speaker, CEO, entrepreneur or you simply want to discover the joy of being able to express with a free voice, then this course can change your life, if you allow it. I'm Grace Ng, a professional voice-over artist, stage and screen actor, dancer and vocal coach with over 15 years of experience in the industry. And I'm now sharing : • Practical tips for voice-over and vocal technique so that you can get into the business of doing commercial voiceovers (which is where the money is), audiobook narration, voice animation- cartoons and video games as well as corporate voiceover narration • Voice and Movement Exercises that are based on the most recent (updated July 2024) discoveries of the human body • Experiential Activities that we, as performing artists do to help us turn on our creative brain and body • *BONUS FEATURE!*. If you complete more than 70% of the course, and you submit recordings for the FINAL Assignment, I will provide a detailed review of your voice along with expert recommendations of what type of voice-over material is most suitable for you/where you can fit in the industry to use your voice either as a professional voice talent, a content creator or public speaker. I want to share with you the experience of speaking from an authentic and supported place. When the voice is free it can go anywhere and communicate any mood you desire: sensual, powerful, confident, monotone, sexy, fun, playful, childish. It is your choice because it is your voice! And when you're tapped into the source of your power and expression, you will be able to confidently tackle any audio endeavor you attempt to conquer whether its breaking into the voice-over industry, creating a connection with listeners via IG or TikTok reels, delivering a convincing sales pitch or communicating to your friends and family. Vocal Success equates to Success in Finding your Place in the World!
