Create a Cadre of Characters

using Improvisation...

About Rebecca

I founded 'Love That Improv VO' in July 2013 because I personally wanted this kind of service and no one was offering it online.

I have been a professional actress since 2001. I have solid acting experience and training - both of which include improv.


For me, VO Improv is many things - sparking that creativity and getting those neurons and synapses to fire in my brain differently, embracing the risk, getting thrilled by the wild abandon and scaling to new heights... sometimes that includes overcoming barriers... and putting it all back into the beautiful work we can create with our voice!

Why take this workshop?


Voice actors working in video games, audio books and animation know having a variety of character voices can help you get more jobs or win you a job over a lesser able talent. You can pull up a character and merge it with the client ideas to create a voice they'll love and you've got confidence in. Pro VO talents do this all the time. It's how EG Dailey created Tommy Pickles!  And, developing a character roster of your own before those critical opportunities is smart! 


In this workshop we’ll guide you further down the road to having a character voice roster. During the workshop Mike will guide you through 3 key skills to explore the inner workings of characters through improv.  You’ll flex your muscles on each skill, learning how you can use them with old characters or to make new ones.  Then you put it all together in short improv scenes, letting you practice while receiving supportive feedback…


...Improvisation can be easier & more fun than other regimented character voice training techniques

...Use your imagination to create your own "inner" character voice "cast"

...Apply these skills when you get the VO character audition or script


After completing the workshop, consider joining weekly improv workouts, which will support you to use improvisation in your VO work. The workouts are like “gym workout” improv sessions for VO, and are audio-only via Skype in a group no larger than 12. Click here to learn more about weekly workouts.


Note – This workshop is not about breaking down a script.  This workshop is for VO talent who work part-time or full-time in voiceover and want to get more competitive by using improv with their VO skills. This workshop is NOT for folks trying to figure out how to start a career in voiceover, and it is NOT for people brand new to voiceover work.
