ONLINE Animation Class w/ Dawn Hershey!
Dawn is an animation casting director! Her bio is below:
I came to Los Angeles in 1995 and started working at Nickelodeon Animation Studios. There, I worked my way up through the ranks from Receptionist to Casting Assistant, Casting Coordinator, Casting Supervisor, and finally Casting Director. I joined the Casting Society of America (CSA) in 1999 and have been a full time Casting Director ever since. From Nickelodeon I moved on to Icebox.com in 2000 where I was hired as the Executive Director of Casting to cast and record over 50 animated shorts for the internet.
After the dotcom bubble burst, I jumped with 3 Icebox associates to co-found Blindlight in 2001 (A production services company for the videogame industry) and I oversaw all of the voice-over production there for 7 years. Casting voices for videogames allowed me to create, develop and hone amazing organizational systems for casting large quantities of characters in short amounts of time.
While holding down full time jobs at each of these companies, I continued to build my freelance career. I continue to cast new media projects, commercial VO’s, animated films, direct to videos, and animated television shows.
Format Note: *Online Class* All VO classes will start with a Q&A - Actors are encouraged to ask questions =) After the Q&A, each actor will perform their scene/or listen to playback (depending on sides format) – the CD will give feedback/adjustments etc.
Sides: Prepared Scenes. Bring your own script you'd like to work on with Dawn! You will be using your own scene, drop them in the chat on class night and then work real time with Dawn on making strong choices. Your scene can be anywhere from 1-3 pages & from any animation style/show/film/sides. Just make sure it is from already aired material.
