About the event
ABOUT THE CLASS
Being alone in your booth with confusing sides can be overwhelming and debilitating at times. Andrea’s goal is to “turn on the lights” in that darkened mental space so that characters can come to life and connections can be made to both character and copy. Her aim is to provide actual GPS coordinates for you to follow so that you can “find” your character and bring amazing performances to life. By sharing techniques and running copy together, Andrea hopes to bring fun and creativity back to a sometimes daunting process.
Students are encouraged to participate from their home studios/use their standard mic setup if available, but it's not mandatory for this learning environment.
ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Andrea Toyias has been working with video game voice work since first starting in the Audio department at Havas Interactive in 2000. She began her career as a Dialogue Editor but quickly transitioned to in-house Recording Engineer upon the merger of Vivendi Universal Games with Havas. It was during the many years spent as a recording engineer, working with a multitude of actors and directors that Andrea fell in love with the voice acting process. She has spent the last 15 years savoring, studying, and exploring all the intricacies of the dialogue process.
In 2008, she began working at Blizzard Entertainment as the Casting and Voice Director. As well as overseeing the Voice over department, she casts and directs every single voice that appears in Blizzard's games. Andrea continues to explore new and exciting ways of bringing characters to life and prefers to treat the recording booth as an endless stage of possibility, rather than a room, a mic and four padded walls.
