Stephane Cornicard joined the VO Peeps in July for a dubbing workout to give us an insider insight into the Band Rythmo method of dubbing. Stephane Cornicard, born in France in 1964, is a multilingual actor, who trained in France, at Colby College, USA and at Goldsmith College, England. He trained with Francois David, French director and writer. Cornicard's many credits include Jean in Saving Private Ryan by Steven Spielberg, Liquid Snake in Metal Gear, Gabe Logan in the Syphon Filter games and the evil Count Raum in Primal. Stephane taught us how the Band Rythmo method of dubbing works and how to learn more and book those jobs! We learned how lucrative the dubbing business is going to be in the future!

Accents provide a quick way to differential your characters and can set you apart in your auditions.
We will cover techniques to approaching any accent or dialect in a physical and organic way, helping you to integrate it into the characters you create. Aspects of the accent’s placement, vocal quality, intonation patterns, rhythm, and key pronunciation changes will be covered. Participants will record themselves before the workshop and receive individual feedback and how to practice after the workshop.
Dialects will include Standard British (RP), Mid Atlantic, and US Southern.
