We are pleased to offer this one-day in studio experience to eligible ToonVox Talent. Working on ADR sequences all day in two separate studio settings, with multiple directors, you will get all of the on mic coaching you’ll need to successfully analyze the script, set vocal choices, establish character emotion, fine tune the performance and record to picture. All the while, you’ll be working with an industry professional who is working with ToonVox to help deepen the trained voice talent pool for his current and upcoming projects..

ToonVox Act 3: A New Direction is a unique workshop in this industry. Individual attention, critique as well as an ensemble learning process make this an enjoyable and rewarding step towards being cast. Not only does your previously recorded material get you an invitation to the Masterclass, your recorded work in Act 3 (directed by one of the foremost voice directors in North America) is accessible to clients for future productions.

This is the character focus class where VoxCoaches help enrollees map acting performance arcs, build life-sounds and reaction libraries, and work with vocal ranges to create a variety of character options for casting. This is where we fuse the technical skills from Act 1 with the dramatic skills needed to sustain larger roles.

* Please note, the ToonVox Act 1 workshop is a pre-requisite to Act 2.

As a ToonVox Talent, you will be coached through several characters in both ADR and Prelay scenes and scripts.   While our primary goal is to let the ‘voices in your head’ be heard, we get to analyze the motivation and relationships these new-found characters need to drive the story.  As in Act 1, we’re running each exercise as a professional session.  For instance, the line-by-line skill-set of the ADR process will have you adapting your vocal choices to picture, while the Prelay script is recorded in studio with a full cast individually mic’d and ‘in the round’ (much like any episode of The Simpsons).

You’ll Learn:

Note that some talent have booked recurring roles based on their performance in Act 2..
