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.
