CARTOON VOICES / VOICE-OVER
Create Characters. Find Your Voice. Bring Stories to Life. Cartoon Voices / Voice-Over is a fun, small-group performance program where students learn how to create characters, use their voices expressively, work with microphones, read scripts, and bring stories to life.
Students explore cartoon voices, narration, commercials, character dialogue, silly voices, accents, sound, timing, expression, and microphone performance in a real studio setting.
This program helps students build confidence, imagination, vocal control, reading expression, storytelling ability, and performance energy through active voice-over training.
Class size is limited so each student has time to practise, record, listen back, receive coaching, and improve.

Description
Cartoon Voices / Voice-Over gives students a playful and practical way to build confidence through voice performance. Students learn that voice acting is not only about making funny sounds.
It is about creating a character, understanding the script, using clear speech, adding expression, controlling energy, and making the listener believe the performance.
Classes may include vocal warm-ups, silly voice challenges, character creation, narration, commercial reads, cartoon dialogue, microphone practice, recording, playback, and coaching.
Students are encouraged to use their imagination, take creative risks, try different voices, listen carefully, and adjust their performance after feedback.
The program helps students build vocal confidence, reading expression, performance focus, creativity, and the ability to speak with more energy and personality.
Because students work with microphones and recording equipment, class size is limited to allow each student meaningful practice time.

Studio Experience
Classes take place in a working performance studio where students can practise with microphones, scripts, recording equipment, playback, coaching, and live performance exercises.
Students learn by doing. They try a voice, record it, listen back, receive direction, adjust the performance, and try again. This gives students a real sense of how voice-over work happens and helps them become more comfortable hearing, using, and controlling their own voice.

Confidence Through Voice
Voice training helps students build confidence in a different way. Some students are nervous to speak loudly. Some rush when they read. Some speak too quietly.
Some have great imagination but need help expressing it clearly.
Cartoon Voices / Voice-Over gives students a fun reason to use more energy, take creative risks, speak clearly, and perform with expression. Because the work is playful, students often become braver without feeling like they are being forced into formal public speaking.
The goal is to help students become more confident, expressive, creative, and comfortable using their voice.
