Sept 29th VO Workshop Added!

Our Aug 11 workshop has SOLD OUT! So we will have 1 more!!!


Are you a Kansas City actor who wants to make more money? Why not
explore the world of Voice over acting.

Have you always wanted to work in an actual recording booth without the
pressure of actually being at a job? This unique opportunity is for you!

**Actors with Moxie* Presents:
*Voice over: Another outlet for the KC Actor*
When: Saturday Sept 29th 2012
Time: 1pm-4pm
Location: Wheeler Audio 1925 Central KCMO 64108 www.wheeleraudio.com
Cost: $100 (includes mp3's of your final take for your VO demo)

This workshop will explore the world of being a Voice over actor. This is
not a workshop to teach you how to act but to teach you the techniques to
being a VO actor. You must have some experience doing voice overs to
enroll. This can be having a VO demo already, having auditioned for VO
jobs, or worked as a VO actor and just looking for more direction. Darren
"Doc" Roubinek, from Fasone & Partners, will act as your the client and
give you the direction and feedback from a producers standpoint. Deana
Winter, from Wheeler Audio, will act as the Sound Engineer and give you
direction from her point of view. You will be given a script to work on
during the workshop. This workshop was created to give the actor an
opportunity to get in a real recording studio and practice the craft of
Voice over acting and be given direction and feedback by professionals
currently working in the business.

*Darren "Doc" Roubinek*- Copywriter…Producer…Creative Director…Ad Guy at
Fasone & Partners since 1989. Over that time he has probably averaged
writing/directing 150+ TV and radio spots a year. He has done a lot of
goofy, cheesy things in front of the mic. He has had offended sensibilities
and had spots banned from the airwaves. He's helped regular people sound
like stars. He has worked with kids, dogs and Chinese translators and sold
a lot of cars. What he knows for certain is that some voice over talent
makes his job easier, and some makes it tougher. But there are no bad
talents, only lazy writers/producers.

*Deana Winter*- Graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2002 and
started working for Wheeler in September of 2003. Her fine arts background
has come in handy with keeping the studio filled with both local art and
her own art. When the new location was built, she was put in charge of the
interior design. Wearing multiple hats is the only way to keep the office
running. She helps in looking for a music searches or just want to know
what is going on in the studios. She helps with estimates, scheduling,
billing questions, music searches, lunch requests, master file look-up,
radio spot distribution - the list goes on....
When she is not managing the front office, you might find her running for a
political office, hanging an art show, volunteering for the City of
Riverside, installing plumbing under the house with her husband or carting
her daughter around to various dance competitions.
