Voice-Overhaul: The Process Tune-up For Pros
Rick Wasserman
THURSDAY JUNE 25 - 3p-6p
Booking less than you'd like—or not at all? It might not be your performance—it might be your process. Before you ever hit "record," your routine sets the stage for success (or sabotage). In this hands-on, practical workshop, we’ll break down your current approach, identify what’s working, what’s not, and what’s missing. Then, we’ll rebuild a stronger, smarter process that gets results. Think of it as a complete tune-up for your voiceover engine—so you stop guessing and start knowing you've nailed the read before you even hit playback. You’ll leave with a customized workflow that builds confidence, books jobs, and (yes!) makes the whole thing more fun again. What you’ll walk away with: A confidence-boosting, repeatable process tailored to you Techniques to make your reads stand out in a saturated industry Insights into which VO niches best suit your voice and style How to know if it’s time for a new demo—or new representationA smarter, smoother pre-recording routine that gets you booked No more crossing your fingers behind the mic. After this class, you’ll know exactly how to bring your most compelling, castable self to every audition.

Using Improvisation
in Your
Script Work
Tim Powers
FriDAY JUNE 26 - 3p-6p
Casting directors are shouting it from the rooftops: authenticity is the only way to cut through the noise, and improv has shifted from a "nice-to-have" to a non-negotiable skill. But here is the million-dollar question: how do you stay "improv-loose" without actually rewriting the client's script? Enter TimProv™. In this session, we dive into a human-led, acting-first approach that prioritizes real connection over technical mechanics. You’ll learn how to engage your inner authenticity to make every read feel spontaneous, grounded, and—most importantly—like you. Join us to get comfortable with the uncomfortable and start bringing your most genuine self to the mic!

Beyond the Booth:
Expanding Your Income
with UGC
Alice Everdeen
FriDAY JUNE 26 - 3p-6p
UGC is real, it's growing, and you probably have a bigger head start than you think. Now what? This workshop is for voice actors ready to expand their services and break into a $7.6B industry. We'll dig into finding your UGC lane, figure out what kind of content fits your voice and personality, and build a starter offer you could pitch to a real brand- or at least your friend who runs a small business and would probably say yes out of pity. We'll talk scripts, hooks, performance, setup, and how to position yourself when you don't have 200k followers and a perfectly curated aesthetic. You'll spend real time writing, drafting, and building stuff during the session, and we'll talk about the thing nobody addresses: how to expand your services without feeling like you're betraying everything you built as a voice actor. You'll also leave with a set of post-session resources to keep you moving including a UGC offer template, a hook-writing cheat sheet, a starter pricing guide, a pitch message framework, a social profile setup guide, and a simple gear-and-setup checklist. By the end, you'll leave with actual drafts, a clear direction, and a plan you won't need to google again in three weeks.
