Benefits / Program
Here’s the concept for this class:
It will be run as a combination Workout / Mini Demo.
Weeks 1 and 3:
Week 1
Cold reads, Ice Cold Reads, Voice work
Week 3
Cold Reads, Improvisation, and a recorded home studio audition recording due.
On Weeks 2 and 4:
You will record 1 SHORT original spot PER SESSION and I will add music and effects and create broadcast quality masters of these. (On Weeks 1 and 3, we'll look at your copy and revise and edit as needed)
These spots would be 15 Seconds MAX — 1 Character. Being for voice acting demo purposes, they are not meant to showcase full writing works.
By keeping the spots short, I can keep the class at this price point. Full music and efx mix and mastering is quite time consuming.
You could theoretically build your full demo by doing this class 2-4 times over the coming 6 months or so, depending on how many spots you are looking to have on your demo. (8 is usually the max).
To give you an idea of what full demo production looks like for my studio, I charge $1600 for character demo production (including writing or co-writing based on your casting and range, editing, mixing and mastering into an industry standard demo.) My demos often lead to agent interest for those who are doing pro level work, and my rate is up to $1,000 less than some other reputable demo studios.
BUT THERE'S MORE!!
For those who end up repeating this class, and getting additional demo spots done, I will discount $125 from each of the repeated classes. ($274 for future Intermediate-Advanced Character Workout plus 2 Demo Spots)
So from a numbers point of view, you would have 6 demo spots (that can be strong full demo on it's own) for $947.
LEARN valuable information about the industry, including videos, audio, a class outline, and more.
No Traffic. Take the class from ANYWHERE.
DAY ONE: WE ARE IN AN OPEN PERFORMANCE SPACE. (VOICE OVER IS ACTING SO WE WILL BE DOING VOICE, MOVEMENT AND A TON OF VOICE OVER COPY!!)
DAY TWO: WE ARE IN A PROFESSIONAL VOICE OVER STUDIO — MORE COPY IN MORE GENRES.
In this class, we’ll work on industry-standard voice over copy for commercials, cartoons, video games, narration, and even the classic “Promo Announcer” copy.
TOPICS: GENRE WORK, VOICE ACTING TECHNIQUE, HOME STUDIO BASICS, RESOURCES FOR WHAT TO DO NEXT, HOW TO ‘BREAK IN"‘ ETC.
For experienced actors or people newer to the field.
BETWEEN WEEK 1 AND 2 YOU WILL ALSO RECEIVE DIGITAL RESOURCES, HANDOUTS AND OTHER CRUCIAL V.O. INFO!
Q: Will I be ready to work professionally as a voice actor after this class?
A: Most people (even trained actors) when truly diving into top level training in voice over realize how specialized an acting skill it is. Thus, this maybe just the beginning of your voice over journey. But it’s a great way to start and see where you are at!! If you are already a highly trained professional actor, you will have a head start for sure.
Q: Do you help us set up our home studio after the class is over?
A: No, but I will have provided you resources and ideas how to get started on potential next steps.
Q: Will you tell us where all of the other classes are in town?
A: Absolutely! My most successful students have studied with many teachers and schools and have integrated training into their ongoing journey.
Q: Will you help us find an agent?
A: No.
Q: Do you teach acting as well as voice acting?
A: I have a GREAT acting class - with a location in Burbank, as well as Hollywood. Go here to learn more: https://acting-class.davidbabich.com/ Many of my previous voice over students train with me as actors. In fact I started the acting class as a resource for my v.o. students.
Q: As an actor yourself, do you do screen acting as well as Voice Over?
A: Yes, my background in professional acting goes back to the late 90s in theatre, film, TV, and most genres of voice over. I still work professionally. You can catch me in season 2 of Fallout on Amazon, and my most recent voice over work was directing an Amazon Pictures live action dub and also playing several voice roles on the film.
This class is a pre-requisite to David’s 4 and 6-week Intensives.
