FEEDBACK FROM PARTICIPANTS:
“Michael explained the human voice as an instrument in a way that let me actually understand how best to use it – and what I needed to learn and work on. The facility was amazing and the use of a real booth and engineer helped the non-craft side of auditions and work – dealing with microphones, copy stands, direction over the intercom, etc. Working with others created wonderful friendship and sharing opportunities.”
“Michael is a great director, so patient and positive. He always found a way to move us forward.”
“I needed to learn the differences between live action acting and VO animation acting. Michael helped me fine tune the animation voices right for me.”
“Michael creates a very safe place to try new things. Very fun and supportive.”
“Michael is amazing! I have taken a number of workshops for animation but either by CD’s or technicians. Never have I learned about placement or care of the voice and so much about options for characters. I am inspired! Thank you!”
