Become The Copy!
What’s the difference between sticking out with your auditions and booking the gig, or being just like everyone else?
Noted LA voice over coach Dave Walsh says it’s how believable you are with your read. Dave teaches his “True Tell” method where you become the message. He explains it and we play with copy to show you what makes that difference. Dave is one of our favorite guests as we always have fun truthfully looking for getting an edge with your auditions.
