May 2023 - April 2024

• Instructed by Tamás (Tom) Rieser 




• After completing the Group Voice Acting Course, I continued my voice training with Tom for private lessons. The experience has helped me grow tremendously, as I learned about vocal tonality, improvisation, dealing with cold reads, and establishing beats. 

February 2023 - April 2023

• Instructed by Tamás (Tom) Rieser 




• The course taught me the basic fundamentals of voice acting. Each week the course tackled a different script. It could be commercial, anime, audiobook, video game, e-learning, animation, promo, or documentary. At the start of class, I would be given a script to prepare and rehearse. Then I’d have time with the coach to receive feedback and direction on my performance.
