Student Requirements:

THIS IS NOT AN ACTING CLASS. While no previous VO experience is necessary, the goal of this workshop is to teach actors how to use their acting skills to create a stable of characters for use in animation. It is therefore a requirement that you have already had some experience or training in acting.

Each student will need:

• Tools for note-taking – notepad & pen/tablet…whatever works best for you.
• A USB flashdrive (1 to 2 gig) so each class can be copied for you to study. Make sure you have this with you at EVERY class.
• Some means to record yourself at home is also HIGHLY recommended.

For more information or questions please use the contact page.

All Workshops are held from 7-10pm

Testimonials for Dino’s Coaching/Teaching

“If you’re interested in learning about animation voiceover, I can’t imagine that anyone would be a better guidethan Dino. He has a rare and wonderful combination of talent, experience, and love of the medium that sets him apart from so many other coaches. He’s not only been in the trenches and emerged victorious, but is a fan of animation for its own sake, giving him a rich understanding and appreciation of the range of shows, games, and characters that are out there. I’d recommend learning as much as you can from Dino—it will get your career off to a strong start, and you’ll discover how much fun voiceover can be!”
– Bethany Rhoades 
(Voice Actor – DC Online Universe/Spider-Man 2)

“Dino Andrade is THE MAN!  He worked with me at the very beginning of my jump into animation voice acting and it made all the difference for me!  His attention to detail, patience, direction, and energy enabled me to put down characters on my demo that flat-out turned into bookings.  The demo he produced for me is one-of-a-kind and I owe a great deal of my foot-getting-in-the-door to him.  Can’t say enough about the guy!”
- Roger Craig Smith 
(Voice-Actor – Assassin’s Creed/Resident Evil/Wolverine and the X-Men)

“Having studied under Dino, I can tell you he’s one of the best out there if you want to work on your vocal range for animation! The one constant compliment I get in casting is my range of characters and I have Dino to thank for it!!! :-)”
- Julie Rei Goldstein 
(Voice Actor – Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom/ Paradise Kiss)

“Many of you have asked me about animation voice-over, which I adore. The man responsible for my killer demo (and I’m not kidding here–it continues to blow away everyone who hears it, and for that I will be ETERNALLY grateful!!! :) is also a master coach/teacher…and, after a long break due to his OWN stuffed-to-the-brim recording schedule, Dino Andrade is teaching a BEGINNERS ANIMATION CLASS. If this area draws you at all, DO NOT WALK. RUN-RUN-RUN TO THIS CLASS (…but not with scissors of any kind in your hands. Place those gently down, first)!!!!”
– Karen-Eileen Gordon 
(Actress – Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles/Legally Blonde 2/Meet The Fockers)

“Voice-over acting is a competitive. That’s why it’s imperative to be at your best, with passion, creativity, and the proper skills to create believable characters. There’s a difference between voices and characters, and creating characters is one of the many skills that Dino can teach you. I trained with Dino Andrade, and I can honestly say that what he has to teach you will hone your technique, change your game and make you realize the potential you have to blaze a trail in voice-overs.”
- Avi Melman 
(Animation Director/Producer/Actor – Broken Spirits/Guardians of Luna/Detroit Docona)
