Character Creation and Development

Character Creation and Development

During this 90-minute webinar, you’ll learn some of the mechanics of creating and developing various character roles. From making various sounds, grunts, moans and groans to being a fully developed video game character, David will cover it all (or at least as much as he can fit into 90-minutes.) We’ll talk about performance, vocal health, dealing with your inner critic, find a relationship to your characters and more. There will be Q & A throughout this fireside style chat. For all of you Characters that voice Characters, this webinar is for you! August 25th at 9pm ET (6pm PT, 7pm MT, 8pm CT).
