Join us for our Online Auditioning for Animation VO Masterclass with Top Animation & Video Game Director Rene Veilleux! This class will be held online via Zoom and is exclusively for experienced actors. It will be limited to 12 students. Rene will begin by sharing his journey into voice over work and explaining his process for casting and directing, as well as how he collaborates with actors. He will provide insights and tips for auditioning, particularly for self-tapes, covering the dos and don’ts and how to prepare. Each student will then have the opportunity to participate in a live audition, where they will read sides, receive feedback, and learn from the notes given to others. The class will wrap up with a lightning round, where everyone will do the same exercise to practice under time pressure, and will conclude with a Q&A session.
