During this time, I spent a total of 16 weeks with a professional Voice Actor/Coach:

Shelley Cohen. During these 16 weeks, I was given comprehensive training on how to

develop my voice, including proper breathing techniques, creating characters unique to

my voice range, and unlocking my full potential as a future voice actor. On top of all of

this, I was given a thorough introduction to the world and business of voice acting and

what it truly takes to become a voice actor. Shelley is an amazing Vocal Coach, and I

would recommend her to anyone interested or seriously looking into getting into the

field of voice acting.

During this time, I spent 7 weeks with professional voice actor Deb Monroe.

With decades of experience in the industry, Deb was able to utilize my previous

experience as an actor and focus it into a series of characters. Through her vocal

coaching, I was able to identify and fine-tune different voices for commercial-style voice

overs through these characters. Her experience and expertise have not only added to

my experience and skillset as an actor, but further enhanced my drive and confidence

moving forward in this industry.

During this time, I spent 7 weeks gaining an introduction to the world of acting taught

by Professional Actor, Director and Playwright John Muggleton. Throughout these 7

weeks, I, along with my classmates, was taught in depth about the importance of

character development, script analysis, and improvisation. I also had the opportunity to

work on many different scenes, putting all of the skills I learned in this course into

practice.

This course is taught by Joey Walsh, a highly experienced Actress in Theatre. In this

course, I spent 7 weeks learning how to build up my characters and connect the characters that I

create and the scene in which the character is playing a role. I have also been learning

how to further develop my improvisation skills, adaptability and work closely with

others in interactive scene work.

During this time, I spent a total of 6 weeks with a professional vocal coach with over 40

years of experience: Elley Ray. Elley helped me further develop my voice acting skills

and opened up my imagination and creativity to realizing what was possible in the

world of voice acting. I learned various exercises and techniques for auditioning and

performing, bringing me closer to setting a new standard for voice acting.
