SUMMER TEEN WORKSHOPS @ VILLAGE ARTS
A series of 8 classes designed to challenge, inspire, and elevate your performing skills! It’s the perfect place to meet and work with other creative teens from around the community. Come for the workshop and stay for the fun!
Series includes:
Voiceover with Lindsay Gamache:
Ever wonder who’s behind the voices in your favorite video games, cartoons, and commercials? Spoiler: it could be you. In this fun, fast-paced voice-over workshop, teen performers will dive into four exciting VO formats — commercials, radio, animation, and video games — and discover just how much personality they can pack into a microphone. Students will explore mic technique, learn how to take direction, and find out how character, breath, and timing can turn a simple script into something truly special. But more than just nailing the performance, this workshop is about discovering what makes your voice uniquely yours — and learning to own it with confidence. Students will be provided with copy to read and also leave with a recording of their work.
Lindsay is a professional actress here in LA. Originally from Pittsburgh, Lindsay got her BFA in musical theatre from Penn State University. Upon graduating, she performed in the Japan & North American Tour of 42nd Street the Musical. She then headed to LA to continue her career in theatre, tv/film, and voice over.
