This isn't a class that you can pass or fail. My performance based on this class has nothing to do with Rachel Messer's ability to teach or perform herself. (She is wonderful to learn from)

A description of this class taken from the website:

This is an Introductory level workshop and is highly suggested to be taken before any other workshops. These class are designed to help those interested in the art of voice acting. They tend to run an hour and a half long and will help teach the basics of creating voice acting characters for anime, cartoons, radio plays, video games and more. It will also help each student explore their range and learn techniques for creating new voices they can make (such as teaching girls how to do a boys voice, old age, higher pitched, ect ) and strengthen your voice while showing how to avoid vocal damage.Its open to all levels of people so it will start with the basics like what is voice acting, the difference between voice acting and voice over, the types of work you can find, how to get started, audio recording techniques, getting better audio quality, microphone types and differences, how microphones work, a basic rundown of speech production, how speech is made, how to avoid and realize vocal damage, creating and changing different voice, voice placements, creating believable characters, acting, creating a demo reel, dos and donts, suggested layout for a demo reel, auditioning for professional studios, and then question and answer time.It will also help everyone find out how to find auditions and create a demo reel.

This is the main and most comprehensive course I have taken. It provides education in a multitude of categories, such as;

• Emotional technique


• Setting up a professional studio


• Creating your own demo reels


• Conducting yourself professionally in a session and providing efficient work for your clients, making their job as easy as possible.
