What this course establishes

  • Analyze a script into audience, relationship, objective, beats, actions, operative words, pronunciation and truthful performance choices
  • Record repeatable clean speech using safe vocal practice, controlled room/microphone technique and documented gain/file settings

Fastest competency route

Completion is self-paced and competency-based. Prior experience shortens study only when every performance, technical, health-boundary, rights, accessibility, QC and delivery criterion is demonstrated; no fixed duration, employment, representation, union eligibility, certification, vocal outcome, legal clearance, booking or commercial result is promised.

  1. Pass diagnostics in script analysis, performance actions, breath/articulation, vocal-health limits, microphones, room/gain, takes, editing, QC, rights, synthetic voice and transcripts
  2. Complete the synthetic session audit and a four-genre reel package
  3. Correct every brief, pronunciation, performance, strain, room, plosive, sibilance, clipping, noise, phase, edit, file, rights, AI-consent, transcript, metadata and version defect

Full self-paced route

  1. Script analysis, truthful action, phrasing and self-direction
  2. Vocal/hearing care, room, microphone, recording and editing
  3. Auditions, pickups, rights, synthetic voice, accessibility, QC and delivery
  4. Applied voice-performance portfolio and final assessment
