SUMMARY:Animation Intensive Workshop with Heather Dame
DESCRIPTION:15th April 2024 – 4pm PDT / 7pm EDT\n16th April 2024 – 12am BST / 9am AEST / 11am NZST \n Learn how to work with your animation agent beyond and behind the microphone.

Then you’ll get to take a step behind the mic and get hands on practice with real animation copy. \nHeather is currently the EVP of Atlas LA and heads up Atlas’ west coast branch. She was tasked by Atlas to move out to Los Angeles 14 years ago to help develop and start up the new West Coast branch of the company. This included building the foundation of a positive public brand for the company by developing new relationships and engaging clients and buyers in the company philosophy\, building new buyer relationships\, growing and pitching new areas of business and carefully crafting a successful talent roster to invest in. Heather built Atlas’ Animation department from the ground up\, as well as mentored and partnered with other agents in developing the Los Angeles commercial\, video game and promo/narration/trailer departments. Fourteen years and four office expansions later\, Atlas LA has 10 full-time Los Angeles employees\, three full-time agents and competes with the top LA Voice-over agencies.\nHeather heads up the animation department and also works as an agent in the areas of promos\, trailers\, narrations and video games\, in addition to managing the LA staff and office. She is proud to say that many of her past assistants have gone on to have very successful careers in entertainment. She is passionate about Diversity & Inclusion\, and over the past few years\, has been spearheading an effort to discover and develop underrepresented talent and help them create and sustain long-term careers in Voiceover. She believes in making a difference wherever she can\, and conducting business genuinely and always with integrity.

SUMMARY:3 Hour Workshop: What Are You Trying to Get Me to Say: Understanding your Copy From a Copywriter's Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 17th February – 12pm-3pm EST / 9am – 12pm PST / 11am-2pm CST / 5pm-8pm GMT \nSunday 18th February – 6am – 9am NZDT \nNatalie Stanfield has been a commercial copywriter\, voiceover artist and audio producer for over 20 years. In short\, she’s been on just about every side of the mic that there is. \nAs an RAB certified professional commercial copywriter\, she has a unique inclination toward script deconstruction to get to the base of what the copywriter is actually trying to get the voice artist to say. \nIf you’re having trouble quickly and effectively getting to the heart of your scripts\, both in auditions and jobs\, then maybe it’s time to get 3 hours of personal time with a pro VO and script writer to finally learn how to break down a script. \nProgram synopsis:\nUnderstanding how the writer is thinking\, and applying that to reading the script\, helps the voice actor to be more successful at interpreting the copy\, and more equipped to make a visceral connection with the listener. Learn from a professional commercial copywriter exactly what a copywriter is hoping you’ll pull from the script when you read the spot. Find out how to easily identify the core message in the script\, and take it a step further to deliver a convincing connection with your listener. Learn what to do to get your listener to do what the copywriter is hoping… act on the message. This session will include instruction as well as a chance to put into practice the principles presented with live reads. This workshop is applicable to beginners and pros alike.
