Explore the wide range of creative options in your voice!

Whether you want to work in entertaining extremes or to explore more subtle changes in age and tone, this workshop will provide you with all you need to do so.

Perhaps you want to know how to analyse in detail and then reproduce the voice of a famous person.

I did my drama voice reel with Mike. Mike had obviously thought about each piece before I’d arrived and he was already prepared with some suggestions for musical settings and sound effects, which I had not been expecting. Mike has a strong musical instinct for what is going to work and a massive library at his fingertips. I appreciated how he listened and how he engaged with what I was trying to achieve. It felt like a collaboration and he was both patient and a perfectionist. While I am really looking forward to the final edit, I was delighted with the experience, and I look forward to returning for my next project.
