SomeAudioGuy Teaching a FREE One-Night Workshop at the SAG Foundation's Don LaFontaine Voice Over Lab!

I'm proud an honored to be taking my brand of man-handling actors to the DLFVOL tomorrow (Oct. 30th)!

I'll be teaching a one night workshop on commercial script analysis for all SAG/AFTRA members who are eligible to participate in Foundation events. If you are not eligible, I would highly recommend signing up and completing the orientation workshops. There are a variety of incredible workshops and classes (like mine) being made available, and the Lab also makes recording time available to those needing to complete auditions.

I hope to see you there! I'm going to be brutal!

	In the commercial world, producers "know it when they hear it", and that can often show in the direction they supply for their auditions. Specs which can include decades-wide age ranges, vague requests for ethnicity, contradictory attitudes, and limiting celebrity prototypes, it can often feel like a committee of ad execs couldn't agree on what they wanted for the voice of their project. They did however approve the copy for the audition, so this workshop will focus on dissecting and analyzing commercial audition copy to better equip participants for making appropriate choices. Be less eager to please. Play to your strengths. Make stronger choices. Juan Carlos Bagnell is a VO director who has been producing, directing, and recording spoken word audio for well over a decade.
