A great “side gig” for actors, audiobook recording is also a fulfilling artistic experience in its own right, and the skills involved have practical applications for all types of acting on stage or screen. In this class, students learn to bring stories and characters to life with your voice. The class also offers guidance on setting up a functional home recording, and an introduction to the business aspects of becoming a successful narrator.
Unless otherwise indicated below, there are no formal prerequisites for this class—students of all experience levels are welcome! However, if you have no prior acting experience, we suggest taking Intro to Acting and/or Beginning Scene Study to introduce you to core techniques and help you build confidence in the fundamentals of acting.
