PRE-REQUIREMENTS
Once you sign up I will email you several pieces of fun commercial or animation/video game copy. Choose one and practice a bit on your own. No need to record the commercial prior to the workshop. We will work live during the session and I will direct you to create different emotional approaches and characters! Later we will post just the audio from your performance on Instagram to show that voice acting is storytelling like the stories people post on Instagram. And we'll provide you with an audio file of your performances from that evening!

COACH'S BIO
One day, at the Great Neck Public Access Channel, the voice talent didn’t show up to record a commercial. Adriana Davis was a producer at the station when the Program Director asked her to voice the commercial. He said, “Your voice makes me smile.” So, she did which began her career in voice acting and coaching aspiring voice actors.
Adriana Davis began work in television, film and radio as a producer, writer, editor and voice actor. Her credits include productions for MTV, A&E, History Channel, NBC News, PBS and Animal Planet.

Testimonials
from former students
Jeff Friedman, Voice Actor, Pennsylvania
“When I first began my voiceover journey several years ago, there was so much I wanted (and needed) to learn! What are casting directors looking for? How do I develop a conversational delivery style? How can I bring genuine emotion to my reads, and so much more! I knew I couldn’t obtain this kind of information on my own – and that I would need the help of a great coach. I certainly found that and more with Adriana Davis! In addition to Adriana’s experience as a voiceover coach, she is also a successful director, producer, and a voice talent herself! From the very first day I began working with her, I knew I had hit the VO coach jackpot!"
