Voiceover Training

Janice Hawke, DemoManiacs – Toronto, Ontario (March 2020 – Present)

Private coaching for commercial voiceover.

  • Studied how to break down scripts for advertisements to flesh them out and tell a story that will engage with people. Steps included removing punctuation, determining who’s speaking and to whom, and any actions and pre-actions that build the scene.
  • Additional practice with eLearning scripts; primarily worked on pacing and diversifying reads to avoid monotony.

Voice Workshops with Elley-Ray – Toronto, Ontario (June 2017 – Present)

Workshops for all-purpose voiceover. Particular areas of study included:

  • Commercial, hosted by Kim Handysides. Learned that much of commercial acting today is about “telling, not selling”, since ads have become miniature stories that aren’t just meant to promote a product.
  • Video Game, hosted by Ellen Dubin. Practice involved working out the pre-action for a scene and the motivations of the character presently, and conveying that intention with physical acting behind the microphone.
