This session of Dubbing Essentials is geared toward diverse and BIPOC performers to both introduce them to, and equip them with, the necessary rythmo-band skills and technique in order to help them book work in the Dubbing arena.  There is a current and growing need for authentic casting in dubbing and this workshop aims to train and ready our up-and-coming ACTRA voice performers to fill this need. 

Students will be expected to enter into this workshop with a certain standard and degree of both talent and professionalism. The workshop’s instructor will guide them through the various techniques, symbols, attributes, and workings of the rythmo-band, “character consistency” within the rythmo-band and dubbing process, as well as introducing them to the technical aspect of the recording experience.

Learning objectives

• Learn to develop good microphone technique, reading skills, vocal stamina and rapid characterization to make them an asset in the recording studio.
• Become familiar with the specific requirements and techniques needed for live-action dubbing.
• Become proficient in the use of dubbing platforms such as Rhythmo- band, DubStudio, and ProTools.
• Have a good knowledge of the dubbing industry as a whole, including an understanding of how to seek out work opportunities in the field.

Application process

• Submission of your most recent resume, detailing voice-related/dubbing/acting experience.
• Submission of a video (60-90 seconds long) explaining to the workshop’s selection committee exactly “why” you want to be involved in “voice performance” and “why” you are a good candidate for the dubbing workshop.
• Let us know when submitting your application, if there are any additional barriers to access that you would like us to know about for this workshop. This will not affect your eligibility.
