Foundations

For non-actors or people very new to voice over.

Beyond a general overview of opportunities and the "business" of voice over, this class provides a strong foundation in how to give a genuine, truthful performance via The Kalmenson Method, applied to a rigorous workout, with recorded critiques and performance.

Actors

For working actors only (with established on-camera or theatrical careers).

This class provides the actor with a concise review of efficient copy analysis principles applied to a rigorous workout using The Kalmenson Method.

Students gain a definition of their voice over "signature", which is the blueprint for their future demo.
