Our In-Person Class at Side LA!

We extend our gratitude to Brook Chalmers, an accomplished actor and voice director with an impressive portfolio including roles in productions like Demon Slayer, Street Fighter 6, Fire Emblem: Engage, and directing credits for projects like Genshin Impact, Star Trek: Prodigy, among others.

Appreciation also goes out to Ulysses Nieto from SIDE LA, whose engineering support proved invaluable in acquainting students with the authentic atmosphere of recording sessions and the protocols of professional recording studios.

 

In this closely-knit acting workshop, students had the opportunity to perform excerpts from pre-selected scripts. Brook provided guidance mimicking real recording sessions and utilized each students’ performance to impart additional educational insights. As this class was open to new talent and working professionals, Brook covered auditioning techniques, effective self-practice methods, and strategies for incorporating dynamic elements into performances.

A note that’s inspired you to strive to be the best artist you can be? On the flip side…have you received a note that felt like a personal attack or perhaps has made you question your worth as an artist?

Reconnecting to Art During Stressful Times

I’m sick of news headlines…I feel like our collective day to day we’ve experienced so far this decade has been mainline quest after mainline quest after ...phew, that was a close one, let’s refuel and stock up on new gear—wait why are all the prices so high?!— oh hey look, a new mainline quest…! It’s beyond easy to feel hypervigilant about everything going on in games & entertainment…with rapidly advancing tech, layoffs, the constant analysis of what content gets made and why, the economy, how audiences consume media—you name it. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone! I also often find myself lost in the sauce! (If this doesn’t sound like you, don’t be shy, what is your secret??)

Netting in Networking

Listen, I don’t know about you, but I feel like the definition of “networking” has taken on a new meaning. I mean, what even is the concept of networking? Do I have to hand out business cards like I’m throwing shurikens at new clients? Should we have an elevator pitch ready to recite spelling bee style? At THN, we love being in a position where we get to be in the business, and ALSO foster a thriving, supportive community of various relationships within. The beauty of that is getting to know the people we get to work with as they are. People! Who just…happen to work in the same industry.
