Masterclass: Creating Character Voices

Learn to develop your vocal versatility with a view to creating character voices suitable for work in narration, animation, voiceover or non-naturalistic theatre. In this workshop, you will explore practical exercises for developing the range and elasticity of your voice and investigate how playing with vocal qualities such as pitch, tone, rhythm and resonance can spark ideas for character voices. You will use both improvisation and text-based exercises to hone your skills and discover tools for preparing and performing in this most playful area of voicework.
