Vocal coach offers voiceover workshop in Sarasota

   It can be hard to break into the entertainment industry, but a Sarasota voice coach says the need for voiceover talent is rapidly expanding.
   So John Burr, the founder of John Burr Voice Dynamics, is offering a one-day Voiceover Basics Workshop. It's scheduled for 9 a.m.-3 p.m. June 15 at 7825 Kavanagh Court, Sarasota.
   It costs $100 and enrollment is limited to 10 students.
   Burr, according to his press materials, has more than 30 years experience as a professional voice coach, recording engineer and audio/video producer. His recording studio  offers state-of-the-art post-production equipment and over 100,000 music and sound effects cuts for producing professional-quality voiceover demos.

   Burr said demand ranges from the traditionally smooth announcer’s voice, to the rough and gravelly, to the sensual. New technology is spurring a need for more voiceover artists all the time, he said.
   The workshop will feature an overview of the 21st-century voiceover industry, the basics of vocal technique, and critique sessions in commercial and narration techniques. 
   “By the end of the session, you’ll know if this is a field you want to pursue,” Burr said.
