Join this weekly masterclass with renowned improviser, voice actor and coach Alan Marriott and video game performance director Mark Estdale for an in depth journey building stronger and clearer characters for games and improv.

The 5 weekly classes will be at OMUK, Tuesday evenings, 7pm to 9pm starting 12 November with the last session on the 10th December.

In improv, the stage is the performer’s safe and courageous place where support, listening, being present, connection, flow and clear choices are what makes the magic work. The nuance of the character work is the icing on the cake. This series of workshops are laser focused on the craft of deepening character precision and confidence. For games, it’s the same. Living connected nuanced character performances, sadly lacking in so many games, elevate everything. These sessions come from a passionate dedication to eliminating the cliches and stereotypes that weaken audience connection and enjoyment.

- Using nasal and non-nasal resonance
- Finding the ‘Ah’ (the character’s tone centre)

- Using accent, and impressions as placement starting points

WEEK 4 - GESTURE
