TESTIMONIALS

"Last summer I took your Toon'd In course here in Calgary. Thanks to your training I just picked up a contract adding intro / extro vocal to 65 (yes 65) childrens
books from a west coast publisher. I could not have done this without you... I owe you a drink next time you're in Calgary!"
-- Lee, Calgary
"Just wanted to drop you a quick
email to say thanks again for an awesome class yesterday! I had a great time, & learned so much. I can't wait to get started. :)" -- Matthew, NYC
"I have many layers to
break down. You brought that out so quickly, I felt a bit shell-shocked when I got home. I will never look at cartoons the same way again. It was just a great class! I have been telling
people about it all day. I love improv btw. It was always my favorite class! I never saw how it was useful until yesterday."
-- Steve, NYC
"I cannot begin to tell you how
helpful your seminar was, both as a realization of my future career prospects and as an improvement on my own acting ability. I will recommend your courses to anyone and everyone I
know who wants to get into cartoon voice over!"
-- Dave, NYC
"Thanks again for a great workshop in NYC last weekend. It was the shot in the arm I needed to get motivated about
pursuing animation voice acting." -- Steve, NYC

to "get out of their own way... "
-- Jamie, Toronto
"Thanks so much for a fabulous workshop, so glad I did it. you made it fun,and exciting: I learned so much from falling flat on my face. You were right about the therapy part; I've
opened up a whole new door for myself, and am so looking forward to new experiences." -- Jean, Calgary
"Eric and I wanted to thank you for all your help and direction on Sunday
and to let you know that it all paid off! We just got the call today that Eric got the part he "auditioned" for Tuesday! He's very excited and so glad he took your workshop."
Eric & Tracey (Eric's mom), Tweens Workshop, Vancouver

"Just wanted to say thanks for
today, the boys seemed to really enjoy themselves and felt they got a lot out of the workshop...They both had very positive things to say regarding the workshop." -- Gina (Alberto

your workshop yesterday!!!! He is raving about it and he has certainly learned a lot in the one day!!!! My husband really enjoyed watching also!!!" -- Lynda (Darien'a
mom), Tweens Workshop, Vancouver

Pro-level 2-Day Tooned In! Workshop, Toronto
|
|
 On
Sundays, February 20th & 27th I'll be teaching Voice Actors, everything they need to know to break
into the Animation Voice-over Industry, in my 2-Day 'intensive' Workshop (both days inclusive). If you are serious about a career that will earn you a minimum of 40 grand+ annually, for 4
hours a week ('union' continuing character), register asap (this workshop fills very fast) and I'll see you at
Wanted Sound Studios, downtown Toronto. It's $490 for both days and CLASS SIZE IS LIMITED!
YOU WILL
LEARN...
These TWO 'intense', FUN-filled, 5-hour, days focus on character development from the
audition point of view by way of improvisational exercises and monologues. In a state-of-the-art recording studio you will learn audition etiquette, mic technique, basic 'ins & outs' of the
Industry; how to create original characters; how to break in and stay there; how to make your own Demo and how to market yourself; how to be your own 'boss' and/or make your agents 'love
you'. You will receive a Contact List and a rough CD of your work in class. Limited to 10 participants for maximum microphone time.

1-Day
Tweened In! Workshop, Toronto
|
|
On
Sunday, March 13th, there will be a 6-hour workshop for Tweens between the ages of 9 and 16. Stevie will be teaching these young Voice Actors the importance of using their imaginations in
order to have some F-U-N!
Even the 'most shy' child becomes 'gregarious' in front of a microphone. All that is required is a willingness to try it wholeheartedly. The more you 'jump in'
and don't care what you look like... the funnier it will be! Discover how 'falling on your butt' could be the very thing that can land YOU the part! Stevie teaches how to act 'big' without
overacting. Her fun, fast-paced style makes her one of North America's most sought after teachers and casting directors. Each participant will receive an 'unedited recording' of their
work. 'Animation' acting experience is not required.
It's $299 for the day. CLASS SIZE IS LIMITED!
