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.

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?

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.

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT – ARIANA

I’m a Cypriot & Greek-American actress born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Naturally, being a valley girl, I’ve always been curious about the industry! Though I first discovered acting through theatre, I was always an avid lover of video games, animation, and dubbing from a young age, sharing in those passions with my siblings. The moment I learned about voice-acting, the transition to that side of the industry was a no-brainer for me. I received my BFA in Musical Theatre from Emerson College and jumped right into professional voice work after graduating during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Community Spotlight – Stephanie Southerland!

Stephanie Southerland is a voice actor based in Los Angeles! She grew up loving stories in every form: Saturday morning/after school cartoons, playing video games, etc. Her mom enrolled her in dance at the ripe age of 2 years old where she learned that she loved dancing and especially the spotlight. She spent most of her childhood performing for anyone who would listen (or couldn’t escape). Her path to voiceover started on stage, where she fell in love with character work and the endless ways a voice can shape a story.
