Singing for Animation

Workshop Description:

This workshop will focus on how to prep and execute the sometimes dastardly task of singing for animation.

From the basics of knowing your range, to how to navigate and learn songs effectively/efficiently, to handling those “impossible” notes (or slippery rhythms), to how to be musically malleable when the red light flips on.

Insight and tips from pitch to final mix, and a practical experience tackling/recording original music taking you through the whole journey from: the demo - to your ears - out your mouth (well, characters mouth) - to cutting it into the song.  Let’s Sing Like Angels (and devils, or whatever character you might get booked for)!

Note: Prior singing experience or abilities are not required for this workshop.
