Heather Dame joined the VO Peeps in April to give us insight into the animation industry! Heather told us how to stand out in auditions!
We got some amazing feedback from Heather and learned that the setting is so important! Once you can visualize in your head where the character exists, that will come through in the read. We also learned to bring out our weird and funny so the casting directors know what our range is. Heather also covered the importance of nailing the pre-life of an audition to really steal the scene!
Words of Wisdom
"People try and give the casting director what they want. Don’t do this. Be yourself and do what you think is right!" - Heather Dame
"I’d rather have you be interesting, funny, and great than have everyone try and sound like the spec!" -Heather Dame
"Your email is your cover letter, and your demo is your resume. How you present yourself to us is how you’ll represent yourself to the buyers we present you to. If it’s negative, we’re not going to want to sell you." - Heather Dame
