VOICEOVER FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS AND GRADS

Want to round out your student's performance skills? Do you want them to have more performance and work opportunities?  Or maybe they could use a little communication help. Then these classes are for you! I've held repeated VO workshops for the Baylor University Theater Dept and workshops at the University of Chicago, Northern Illinois University, and more.

 

I created and currently teach Voiceover for the Second City Training Center in Chicago. I've created and customized classes and exercises to get students to start thinking critically and creatively without being critical of themselves. Check out the possibilities below!

"Kathleen’s comfortable demeanor with the students in the intimate setting of the voiceover recording was pitch-perfect. She was forthright, yet nurturing in her approach to instructing students about voiceover technique and the intricacies of the business, often using humor to provide very useful critiques.

Kathleen made a personal connection with every  person in the room and was a hilarious and informative ball of energy, encouraging students to take chances and discover talents they didn’t even know they possessed. You'll be glad you brought her to your campus!"
