Those who do, also teach!

Darren offers two voice acting classes - Intro/Beginner and Advanced — for those interested in learning the art of voice acting in animation. Whether you’re an established actor looking to expand your skills or brand new to the voice acting scene, Darren offers multi-week courses to help you hone your craft!

  • BEGINNER

    Over the course of three weeks, you'll learn how to approach various types of voice over copy. Starting with the basics, Darren will work with you on two different kinds of animation records, ADR (recording to picture) and prelay (recording from scratch). In addition, you will have a simulated audition ONE on ONE in your last class. You'll also learn the basics of working in a V/O booth plus lots of inside tips from someone who is constantly casting voice-overs and working with V/O actors.

  • ADVANCED

    Darren will further develop your skills as a cartoon voiceover actor in both pre-record and ADR scenarios. Through quick script assessment techniques and by increasing your vocal range and versatility, Darren will prep you to ace both v/o auditions and recording sessions.

  • "As someone who came to voice acting through theatre, Darren's teaching early on served (and serves) as a cornerstone of my training. His ability to see what you walk in the room with and help you access and amplify it is remarkable. His investment in those he teaches doesn't stop at the end of the class either. Having worked with him several times before leaving NYC, I asked him to help me strategize what I should have on my animation demo. His insights were so solid that I still use the same demo 8 years later."

  • "I've taken beginner and intermediate and the skills being taught on top of the variety of scripts and characters you'll experience are invaluable. Where I haven't had the opportunity to apply what I've learned to a vo project (yet), I was able to apply what I learned in Darren's courses for ADR sessions. It's a win WIN!!"

  • "When I'm asked for VO teacher recommendations, Darren Dunstan in the first person I mention. He encourages actors to embrace their uniqueness, resulting in richer, more grounded performances. He also makes the work joyful, as it should be!"
