Description

The human voice is believed to be the first musical instrument and has been used since the dawn of humanity for ritualistic purposes and storytelling-a means of passing down traditions, histories, and collective knowledge across generations. The voice is both cultural and personal, and our individual voices are as unique as fingerprints. In today's world, amidst the A.I Revolution and the rise of synthetic voices, discovering and owning our unique vocal signature with its emotions, expressions, inner fears and desires, is not only important but necessary. For aspiring voice-over actors, the game has changed. A lot of the simple techniques used in the older days of VO are becoming less applicable. Tricks like push and pull back, up-down inflection, the typical 'narrator VO' voice, etc. are copied all too well by AI generated voices. What's hot now is local accents, authenticity, diverse voices and emotional connection. And this course is going to teach you how to enhance all of that. It's never been a better time to be yourself. So whether you're an aspiring voice-over actor, content creator, a stage or screen performer, teacher, public speaker, CEO, entrepreneur or you simply want to discover the joy of being able to express with a free voice, then this course can change your life, if you allow it.
