VOICEOVER TECHNIQUES
with Elaine Clark |
|
| This class takes the
concepts described in There's
Money Where Your Mouth Is to a whole new level. Learn
how to make a commercial "land", find new ways to perfect
your timing, separate information by adding melody, make sure
your voice is engaging, the money words stand out without
pushing, and you're emotionally energizing audiences to take
action. Part of the class will be spent finding out what it's
like on the "other side of the glass". You'll be asked to
write a piece of copy and direct someone else reading it.

NUTS & BOLTS
with Tom Chantler |
|
| What is this thing?
What's in there? Who is this person? Can you identify the
type of spot: retail or image? This is not so much a "booth
time" class as it is a "thinking" workshop. We will analyze
a wide swath of copy as you learn to find structure, rhythm,
marketing and branding messages hidden in the copy. When you
can do all this consistently, you'll be in danger of booking.
