DISCOVER YOUR VOICE!
Introductory Voice-Over Workshop

Have you ever been told you have a great voice? Curious about voice acting — and how people actually make money doing it? This fun, beginner-friendly workshop is your perfect first step into the world of voice over. Led by experienced voice-over actors, Dave Fouquette and Jennifer Munroe, this hands-on class pulls back the curtain on the voice-over industry and gives you practical skills you can use right away.

In this workshop, you’ll learn:

• What voice over really is — and the main VO mediums
• How people get paid work using only their voice
• Microphone basics and simple home studio setup (yes, even your closet counts!)
• How to break down scripts and take direction like a pro
• The truth about SAG/AFTRA, agents, demos, and common VO myths
• LIVE performance coaching (bring copy/scripts to work with)
• What your next steps look like if you want to pursue voice over seriously
No experience necessary — all are welcome.

Whether you’re exploring a creative outlet, a side hustle, or a new career path, this workshop will help you find your voice and step into the business!

Find your voice! Tell your story!
