The Importance of Invisible Worlds
We don’t have sets, or costumes, or facial expressions to help us out - your inner world needs to be so vivid that audiences can see what you see through your voice alone. This lecture will delve into how to “see" your characters in a fully formed environment with a life outside the page and a voice beyond the walls of your booth (or the shirts in your closet).
Patrick Seitz
Picking Up What They're Laying Down
When the clock’s ticking and too many cues are staring you in the face, the value of getting on the same wavelength can’t be overstated. In this lecture, peppered with examples from sessions past, longtime voiceover director Patrick Seitz will discuss how to navigate the impromptu lingua franca of a VO session from either side of the mic.
