Level 2 Advanced Animation Voice-Over with Ned Lott

Level 2 Advanced Animation Voice-Over 3 Weeks Online Class: Casting Exercises and Direct Yourself Techniques with Ned Lott, Casting Director, Voice Director and Producer

Ned has a wide range of producing, voice directing and casting experience for animation. He was a Producer, Voice Director, and Casting Director with the Walt Disney Studios on seven Studio Ghibli titles, including Hayao Miyazaki’s Oscar™ nominated theatrical release “Howl’s Moving Castle” starring Christian Bale.  Other notable accomplishments include casting Liam Neeson as the voice of “Aslan” for “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. 

EVENT OVERVIEW:

This PART II class picks up where the first class left off covering auditioning skills for animation voice-over from video games to full-length Animated Feature projects.

Working with Ned, you'll focus on voicing multiple characters for the same project with age variance, variety and contrast, along with adding "improv" when appropriate.

You'll also do casting exercises where half of the class auditions for the same characters and half of the class decides who would get the role.

You'll also work on "Directing Yourself" techniques where you will prepare and record a script ahead of time. In class, you'll listen to everyone's recordings with Ned giving feedback and then directing everyone again with additional direction.

Limited to 12 V/O actors.

This class is for adults and teens (13+).

PREREQUISITE: Please note that you must take Ned's Level 1 ANIMATION VOICE-OVER 3-Week Online Class: Casting Exercises and Direct Yourself Techniques before taking his Level 2 Advanced Animation Class.
