Stuck using the same voice for every character?
Ready to explore the potential of your acting voice?
Want to learn techniques to create memorable voices quickly?
We've all been there. As performers (whether we do it professionally or just for fun), we often struggle to create unique and sustainable character voices. It can be frustrating when a voice that initially seemed fun and exciting suddenly becomes difficult to maintain or falls flat after just a few lines.
But fear not, for you are not alone! Even the top actors and voice-over artists face similar challenges when it comes to mastering character voices. And luckily, there's a solution – The Voice Playground workshop.
Led by Alex Owen-Hill, a voice coach, voice researcher and comic actor with a background in clowning, this two-day workshop will equip you with the tools and techniques to create interesting and sustainable character voices. Not only that, but you'll also learn how to keep your voice healthy while perform these voices over extended periods of time
Welcome to The Voice Playground – where vocal play meets healthy technique!
