VO Audition LIVE!
What auditions get attention? Actors are rarely directed in the audition process so how can they learn what works and what doesn't?
Some game auditions are loaded with lore, character details, and direction. Others have a handful of lines with no context.
Casting people can hear whether or not an actor is connecting to the character, but how does an actor do that? Actors need to craft performances that stand out, so they’re heard above the roar of actors “playing it safe”.
This interactive talk takes participants thru the examination, analysis, and execution of real video game audition scripts, with the intent of catching and holding a casting director's interest and curiosity.
Session Takeaway
Attendees will Learn to
- take an audition document and find a sense of character and scene
- explore actions and emotional states
