Class Description

In this fun overview of voiceover in gaming, students will get to know the basics and how they apply to many different genres of games. They’ll play and act out different stories and characters while having opportunities to record and analyze their best performances. Communication skills during a recording session are invaluable, so students will learn how to interact with directors and clients, interpret notes, and make accurate adjustments. Students will also explore how to study audition copy, craft engaging performances, and create authentic characters that capture the attention of casting directors. Along the way, they’ll gain experience using GarageBand, Soundtrap for Education, or other DOE-approved audio production tools to record, review, and refine their work.
