Fun class where we learned how to audition with Lisa Biggs and voiceover coach, Yvonne Viner. The coaches taught how to read scripts in a conversational manner so that reads can sound realistic. This class also teaches how to breakdown scripts to get the most emotion from the page, to the listener. 

Class turned into a playground where we played games that tested our creativity and improvisational skills. In class, we learned to 'play' so that when it is time to audition we can make bolder choices and stand out from the rest of the crowd.
