Course Overview

What this course is designed to develop

This course takes you from zero equipment knowledge to a functioning home studio and a performance toolkit proven in commercial, corporate, and e-learning contexts. You will learn how experienced voice actors choose microphones, treat acoustic space, record clean takes, and direct themselves to match a script's tone and pace. By the final module you will have a demo reel strategy, a casting-site profile, and the negotiation basics to quote and win your first paid jobs.
