VOICEWORX!! Basic Voice Acting Workshop

Actions speak louder than words – this ages-old proverb with an ironic approach seems to be the root of some social issues these days. As one says what he means, other people will only find him credible if he accordingly acts in a way that backs up or affirms what he just said. In short, to deal with consistency issues very well, action is preferred to be in connivances with speech.

But have you ever imagined merging the “talk” and the “walk” together? If you don’t have any idea that words can be emotionally enunciated while delivering them, then step out of the dark and say hello to Voice Acting. In our fast-paced technology era, information and communication can easily be processed to get your message across. However, the best way to reach your target audience effectively is to communicate intellectually and emotionally. This gives the speaker a power to draw the listener into an emotional state that the latter can relate to. Only voice acting can give you such skill and ability. Hence voice acting is storytelling that requires acting skills in delivery.

Univoicesal Productions, the newest and only Voice Talent Institute-Agency that effectively meets audio project needs using the latest audio technology, introduces a first-of-its-kind Basic Voice Acting Workshop entitled VOICEWORX!! The eight-session course aims to teach the fundamentals of voice acting and to hone the skills that can be used for any voice recording from a simple telephone message-on-hold to a television or radio commercial, feature film, movie trailer, animation, instructional video, corporate presentation, documentary narration, multimedia audio book and magazine, or even your favorite cartoon or telenovela.
