HELPING YOUR KID BOOK VOICEOVER JOBS
Bill Holmes can give you the tools to help your kids with voiceover
auditions.
Bill has worked as a freelance director at voiceover casting studios
for the past twelve years and noticed that when he directs kids, they
usually come in doing what their parents have instructed them to do.
That's not always a good thing considering many parents are not
voiceover actors.
To solve this problem, Bill Holmes has created a unique two day seminar
for parents that will teach you how to prepare your kids for voiceover
auditions. Let Bill show you the secrets that will build your child's
confidence and get them booked!
On day one, Bill will share his unique method for analyzing scripts based his extensive knowledge of acting and advertising styles.
On day two, award winning 1970's child star Robbie
Rist (The Brady Bunch, Mary Tyler Moore Show and many others) will be
on hand to direct the classroom sessions and provide the prospective of someone who learned how to cope with the audition process at a very early age.
Bill has been teaching voiceover classes for 12 years and has helped
cast and produced thousands of commercials. His seminars are
jargon-free and user friendly. To ensure an excellent user experience,
enrollment will be strictly limited so call today to make your
reservation! (818) 567-1489
