Acting Coaching For Voice Overs
Voice Over & Acting
Acting for Voiceover isn’t just for Audio drama, gaming and animation. No matter what script you are delivering, at the very least you need to know who you are, what you want and who you are talking to.
The most important thing? That the audience believes you. Whether that’s you convincing me that the car you’re talking about is the best on the market, or that you will support me through the online course I am about to embark on, or maybe you are fighting aliens in a post-apocalyptic world and want me to join in. All of these require me to believe you.
Creating a character is talked about a lot in the Voice Over world. You can decide what accent, pitch and tone they have, maybe even how they look and move, but if that character doesn’t start from a place of truth it will never feel completely sincere.
You are just working from the outside in, with no real grounding.
How To Choose The Right Acting Coach?
Getting a job is the exciting bit…but training and nurturing your craft is the important bit.
The right Acting Coach should be someone you can trust, who has a proved background in training Actors, and understands the industry and its demands.
I am obviously going to suggest myself. As well as my 13 years as an Actor in British television, I have spent the last 12 years coaching actors at the prestigious Manchester School of Acting.
So read a little bit about me, head over to The Manchester School of Acting, and get a feel for the style of teaching that I have been taught.
You can even find me on the alumni.
Once you’re comfortable with all of that and you feel I am the right for you, someone who can guide you to where you need to be, then get in touch using the form below.
The right Acting Coach is someone that you feel comfortable with. Who will be honest, supportive and have your best interests at heart. The industry is tough and you need people around you that you can trust.
