Class Description

In this four week workshop, students learn some basic techniques for creating a funny character voice, then how to layer emotions and relationships into the voice in order to find a character. Using techniques from improv, public speaking and acting, students should leave with at least 2 new characters they can play, along with a short character monologue in the form of a public speech. More importantly, they should leave with a grounding that can help them find as many others as they possibly can.

Instructor: Fred Chong Rutherford
