Bring your characters to life by unlocking the power of your voice. In this workshop, voice actor and improviser Chris Wells shares practical tools for developing and using distinct vocal choices in your scene work. You’ll walk away with a few new voices you genuinely enjoy performing — and the know-how for when and how to use them for maximum comedic or dramatic impact.
Chris brings his professional background to the room: he’s voiced Ultraman Orb, Hikari, and Fuma in three seasons of the delightfully over-the-top series Ultra Galaxy Fight, lent his voice to multiple video games, and is the familiar voice of Japan Rail East, heard across train stations all around Japan.
Through warm-ups, experimentation, and scene work, participants will:
Explore pitch, rhythm, and vocal texture to create memorable characters.
Practice switching voices seamlessly in a scene.
Learn to ground vocal choices in truthful emotion so they’re more than just “funny voices.”
Who it’s for: Improvisers curious about voice acting techniques, performers wanting to expand their vocal range, and anyone looking to add fresh layers to their character toolbox.
