Step into Video Games with Elaine Clark

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.

Training venue

​

The last event was hosted by BRAVA at The Bristol Improv Theatre, 50 St Paul's Rd, Clifton, Bristol BS8 1LP and the BRAVA recording studio, with drinks until 6pm.
