Course Overview
Practical ADR Experience, Each Week!
ADR for Voice Actors is instructed by producer and actor John Wang and accompanied by audio engineer Tony Wijs. Together they will run full live-simulations of ADR sessions presenting various information throughout this course. This small class-sized course will have students performing real ADR sessions each week.
ADR is a post-production process used in filmmaking and video production in which additional or supplementary recordings are synced and mixed with original production sound to create a finished product.
18 hours spanning 6 weeks with minimal theory and all practice, to get you familiar with ADR and character development for voice over. Understanding how ADR works from behind the scenes as well as in the booth is important. You will get hands on training at a base level with practice scripts, mic time, and ADR step-by-step processes.
After this course, you should feel more comfortable stepping into a booth, understanding an ADR script, and feeling confident in creating character choices.
