Comedy for VO with Andy Lerner

SYNOPSIS

Can you be funny in commercials the same way you can with your friends, or on stage, or in animation? This workshop will cover the ins and outs of comedy in commercials and animation: auditioning alone for dialogue, finding the right tone, and what’s ok and not ok in different genres. We will be performing previously produced radio spots, getting direction from Andy, listening to the spots that actually aired, and discussing what works.
