Full-length video of my Voice Acting Workshop at #EF17

At EF 2011 in Magdeburg, the third of three panels I held was on the topic of Voice Acting.

We started off with a quick presentation on vocal technique, mic technique, posture and performance, then invited some volunteers to try their hand at performing a short script written for the occasion.

I had the pleasure of being accompanied by Shay, whom I'd invited as Special Guest. He was still reeling from the rather successful premiere of Bitter Lake the previous night, which I'm sure contributed to the fact that the panel was standing room only.

At the end of the panel, Shay and I took some rather excellent questions from the audience and to finish it off, did our own run-through of the script.

Thanks to all who came!

Presented by Yours F. Truly at Eurofurence 16 in Magdeburg, Germany in September 2010. In this workshop we discuss the notion of conveying meaning through imagery. The theory of semiotics is briskly breezed through, after which we look at some examples of evocative imagery in art and writing. Finally, we did a little mini Bullwer-Lytton contest, with some thoughtful and/or hilarious results!

Apologies for the darkness in the first half. The camera lost focus in the dark a few times, but really came into its element once the lights came back on. This panel was a ton of fun to do, with a diverse and engaged audience, which included Elfasi, Watts Martin, Lupestripe and a fair few others I'm sure I forgot to name!

 

Edit: Here's the video on Youtube, in chunks:
