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.

They were born in Manassas, Virginia, and moved around a bunch as a kid, but for the most part grew up in Cary, North Carolina. Their parents called it that they'd be a performer, having put them in community plays at 4 years old, but Hunter didn't bite right away. As a lifelong gamer, they started high school thinking they were on their way to being a concept artist or a programmer.
