"Ever watched a cartoon and thought: "That looks like FUN!"... Well, you're RIGHT!" - Taylor
During my Inner-Toon Workout group event, you'll get a crash-course on finding your inner-toon while preparing from scratch for an imaginary voice audition! I'll guide you every step of the way & ensure it remains fun, supportive, and tailored to each person's needs. This is perfect for hobbyists, beginners and intermediate voice actors alike.
During the 2 1/2 hour workshop event...
1. I'll set the tone, we'll get to know each other a bit, and you can ask me any general questions.
2. We'll do some vocal warmups & exercises together
3. You'll get to choose from script pages ('Sides') I provide from real cartoon shows & movies.
4. I'll help you find your character, voice, and give you insight into making your lines 'pop' and your ‘audition’ stand out from the pack.
5. After a bit of time to practice...
6. Its record time! I'll record your performance and give you some direction - we'll try a few different 'takes', and I'll give you more in-depth direction.
7. We'll then listen back, celebrate, and repeat step 6 for everyone. Its very interesting and informative to hear the other participants and the directions they get.
8. I can answer any final questions, take a group photo, and we can celebrate a job well done!
9. You'll also receive an email with a recording of your performance soon after.
I'm also available for private voice acting coaching. These sessions are tailored to your needs, and include personalized homework that build & expand upon the foundations of the ‘Inner-Toon Workout’.
