STEP INTO VIDEO GAMES
2nd July 2023, Bristol
A special in-person characters class with Elaine A. Clark at Christchurch Studios, Bristol Old Vic.
Develop Your Performance
Experience what it’s like to be in a video game! Whether you’ve studied characters before or if you’re a complete beginner, working in person with Elaine Clark will take your performance to the next level. You’ll start with the character descriptions and a few audition lines. Each student will be cast to play one or more characters.
Bring characters to life
The class will perform a read through of the script to get a better understanding of the game, their character’s purpose in the game, and make adjustments to bring the performance to life in a truthful and realistic manner. After working individually on each character’s voice and persona, the group will then record the entire script and listen back to their voice-over game recording.
World Class Studios
The day will be hosted by BRAVA at Bristol Old Vic's infamous Christchurch Studios (https://www.christchurchstudios.co.uk/).

The studio has served a number of recording artists over the years, including Van Morrison, PJ Harvey, Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage), Liz Fraser, The Fratellis, Goldfrapp, Massive Attack and Andy Sheppard.
