Get your vocal cords warmed up as we dive into a weekend of voice over work! Last year, television saw a boom in animation due to other traditional forms of media not being able to happen in-person. The industry has quickly become huge, with new pilots sprouting up every month from almost every major production company. Alexis Nichols, best known for her roles as Professor Ursula and Shiny Chariot in Little Witch Academia, is ready to help you reach your dreams with this workshop. By the end of the weekend, you’ll be able to walk away with several voices under your belt and a small demo reel to use for your portfolio.
