You’ve taken Audiobook Narration Level One, now level up with Level Two! This 3 week class is a deeper dive into fiction, focusing on acting the text, text analysis, and building and creating real and distinct character voices. If you want to learn more about your own unique voice, how to better use your acting skills and instrument to create characters, and how to draw as much information from the text as possible, this class is for you! Students will leave with ideas for two fiction pieces that could be used as demo material.

“Such a great class with Piper! She went over a lot of information, provided useful resources and gave direct/helpful tips on how we each could individually improve our narration based on our in class reads. Highly recommend!”
