In this four week course we covered : Commercial Voice over (eg. Advertisements, learning hard and soft sell techniques as well as E-Learning), Audio book narration, Audio Drama and Video Game character work.  In each of these areas we were given scripts which were performed in front of our class and instructor.  We would then receive direction and show our ability to adapt and take said direction.  We were also given the opportunity to work on additional scripts to be submitted to our instructor for further improving our skills.

In this class we were given instruction on how audiobook narration differs from other types of voice over work.  The class were given scripts to analyze and perform.  Once more, direction was given and we did multiple takes adapting as directed by our instructor.
