• Do you want to work on your character improvisation skills so you’re ready for anything in an audition?
• Do you feel ready to put together an animation reel, but don’t know where to begin?

We are very lucky to have the incredibly talented voice actor and teacher, Dian Perry, back again for another Character Development for Animation 2 day workshop in London. It’s been designed specifically for you (The VoiceOver Network members) and wow, is it an incredibly fun weekend! Every past participant has come away inspired, invigorated, confident, armed with new knowledge and insight into working in this exciting sector of our industry!


Here Rory Barnett tells us about his experience on the course -

'Dian Perry's Animation and Character Development workshop was the first
VON workshop I'd ever attended - and boy did I pick a goodun! I got my
first real glimpse into what I would really need to be successful in
animation voice acting. I'd always loved doing "silly voices" but Dian
gave me tools I could work with to develop, be flexible, explore
techniques and be creative. She broke it down into such an easy to
digest but eye opening way. She was motivating and would work her ways
with you so by the end of it you were doing characters you didn't think
you could do! We got a chance to record our own characters plus work
together with scripts. And we were given the chance to work with some
animation ADR which was incredibly fun and ignited an interest I didn't
know I had! But overall, I took away an invalauble bag of tools, some
great professional advice and I made a few friends at the same time!
Invest in yourself and don't miss this opportunity!' - Ally Murphy, voiceover
artist and member of The VoiceOver Network.

Both days will be held at Casual Films in North London. On Day One, this wonderful venue provides a spacious area to learn, play and create. On Day Two, you’ll be in the professional studio with an engineer to do scene work, record and practice ADR to an animated scene.
