Keythe is starting his fall voice over classes.

Hi,

Hope this note finds you well.

All summer folks have been asking me when I’m going to start teaching classes again, and I finally have an answer for you. September 15.

I’m going to be offering my Intro to Animation and Games class on six Monday nights (Sept 15- Oct 20) from 7-10pm, and my Creating ¡Kick Ass! Characters class on Wednesdays (Sept 17- Oct 22) at the same time. I keep class size to ten actors each, because smaller classes mean more chances to work, and because the studio won’t hold any more than that. So, let me know ASAP if you are interested in studying with me this fall.

Intro to Voice Over for Animation and Games

A six-week intro to working in cartoons and games. Keythe works with you to assess your vocal range and personal style, and then gives you the tools to create characters that you can repeat consistently.

Week One- Keythe will spend some time getting to know what your long-term goals are, as well as what you hope to get out of the class, and then you will go into the booth and Keythe will lead you through an interview process with characters you create as you go. This will give him an idea of what your range and style are, and will help him choose characters for you to work on for the remainder of the class.

Week Two- During this class you’ll receive a packet with three characters personally selected for you. You’ll learn how to break down a script so that you are communicating the story clearly, and you’ll begin working with these characters developing sincere emotional states that are informed by the stakes present in the material.

Weeks Three and Four- More single character work. Keythe will work intensively with you to develop your ability to nail the material in two takes while deepening your states and stakes.

Week Five- Introduce scene work. You’ll begin working with other actors in the class on scenes from animated series and games.

Week Six- Depending on the interest of the class, you will either continue with scene work, or Keythe will invite you to present a showcase of your characters in action—a three to five minute presentation that you will write yourself.

Cost of the class is $425. A $200 deposit will hold your place in class and the balance is due on the first night. Send checks, payable to Keythe Farley to:

Creating ¡Kick Ass! Characters

This intensive is for students who have completed the Intro class, or similar studies with another teacher, and who are ready to develop a stable of clear, repeatable characters in order to create a demo or expand their repertoire. At the end of this six-week intensive, you will have created at least twenty original characters.

The class begins with an in-depth approach to creating memorable and durable characters that suit your personal strengths as a performer. Each following week, you will create five original characters and present them to the class. Keythe will work with you to hone the characters so that they are tailored both to your natural strengths and to the needs of the industry at large, and will provide scripts from animated series and video games that suit the characters you have created. The final class is a 2-3 minute presentation of your personal stable of characters.

Cost of the class is $425. A $200 deposit will hold your place in class and the balance is due on the first night. Send checks, payable to Keythe Farley to:
