Free Audio: Pat Fraley Reveals Formula
For Creating Unique, Evocative Characters
April 22, 2010
 Quick: Create a voice-over character with XYZ (pick a few) characteristics. If what emerges sounds rather stereotyped and shallow to you, Pat Fraley - voice-over trainer, creator of more than 4,000 characters and one of the top 10 performers of all time to be cast in TV animation - has a solution. Actually, it's a formula:
Content + Connection + Form = Character Voice
"It's a method for creating character voices that is rapid and addresses the character's inner life, uniqueness and personal style," Fraley explains.
It's all about the melding of your personal experiences and personality to create the characters, he adds.
In a free four-minute audio lesson, Fraley reveals the formula and demonstrates how to quickly turn a stereotyped character voice into a unique and evocative voice - one that's more likely to get you hired.
