WORKSHOP: Is It A Bark? Is It An Emote? It's Game Dialogue! (online)

Thursday May 11 2:30pm - 3:30pm (online only)

Free for conference attendees

How do you approach a script that's all grunts? What's the difference between barks and gameplay dialogue? How do you make a dramatic cinematic scene sound natural when you don't have other actors to play off?

Game dialogue is distinct from other mediums and requires a unique acting approach. This hands-on workshop for all levels of voice acting breaks down different types of game dialogue, explores their purpose and takes you through how to approach them in auditions and sessions.

Unlock the mysteries with top Voice & Performance Director and Casting Director Kirsty Gillmore, your guide to bringing game dialogue to life.

This online-only workshop will have only a few limited places and will be available to book on a first come, first served basis one week prior to the conference.
