What this is...

This is an experiment. A live experiment.

I attended a Music Conservatory.

One of the most powerful traditions in conservatory training is the Open Studio.

A professor coaches one musician on their instrument while an invited group of students gets to watch.

I wondered how to adapt this idea to VO coaching.

And my talented (and gutsy) voiceover friends agreed to give it try.

These brave voice talent or I might fall on our faces and hilarity could ensue.

        

Absolutely anything could happen. But the risk is all part of the fun. 

What you will see and hear

The goal of the ConversationalVO Open Studio is to let anyone see the one on one voiceover coaching that goes on behind closed doors. 

Not only will each event have different talent in the hot seat - each session will focus on a different topic.

  • Short scripts

  • Pre-life

  • Anthem scripts

  • Audition feedback

  • Script analysis

  • Voiceover acting

  • Or something else completely

        The Open Studio Sessions will be planned, but unscripted. And with that comes risk. 

What this is not...

The Open Studio Sessions will not be recorded for replay.

And the bar for success will be very low:

  • No gross embarrassment

  • Nobody gets hurt

Physically, psychically, emotionally, or otherwise.

Really simple. 

Who this is for...

The ConversationalVO Open Studio is for technicians, producers, directors, fans, agents, managers, administrators, assistants, but especially voiceover talent who are:

   

  • Curious about how the work gets done

  • And learn by watching

How this will go...

The ConvoVO Open Studio will be 60 minutes long. 

  • The RSVP code will let you into the Zoom room on the hour

  • We begin 15 minutes later

  • No admissions after we begin

  • The talent in the hot seat will be introduced

  • They will be coached for 30 to 45 minutes

  • And we'll call it good until next time

 Simple! 

I can't guarantee what'll happen, but I bet it'll be interesting!
