Great puppetry performances start with great characters. In this 10-week workshop hosted by Jake Bazel, you’ll develop the toolbox you need as a character voice actor to bring bold, dynamic characters to life.
We’ll dive deep into the foundations of character voice acting—exploring vocal placement, emotional authenticity, the comedy behind our characters, and how to quickly find distinct voices that fit any project while staying true to you.
Designed for puppeteers, voice actors, and performers looking to sharpen their character skills, this is your chance to play, explore, and expand your character range for projects on television, in theatre and beyond.
Space is limited due to the personalized support provided. Sign up today so you don't miss out!
