Third anniversary seminar "the best yet"

Listen to WWNO/NPR presenter Diane Mack's interview on August 8th with Stephen James ahead of the seminar, on her weekly show "Inside the Arts". Click here (then click on LISTEN for August 8th and go to 17:05).

The NOLA Voice Talent Foundation celebrated its third anniversary in August 2012 with a hugely-successful National Voice-over Seminar at the University of New Orleans.


Following NVT's principal objective of providing affordable educational opportunities for performers, the seminar attracted a full house at the University of New Orleans over the weekend of August 18th and 19th, 2012.

The seminar was devised and presented by Bettye Zoller with organizational and promotional support from NOLA Voice Talent. The primary focus of the sessions in the two-day event was audio-book narration, and among the guest speakers were Michael Kelly, Roy Buñales, Patrick Bonin, David Hanks, Stephen James, and Dr. Rebecca Hale, who all volunteered their time and expertise to the event. Students from across the country were treated to a weekend of intense information, including voice-over demos, the home studio, voice and microphone techniques, dealing with accent and dialect, and marketing yourself as a voice-over business.

Remarked NOLA Voice Talent founder and executive director Stephen James, "The success of the Foundation's summer seminar series over the past two years, and of the Foundation in general over the past three, demonstrates clearly that New Orleans and southern Louisiana is a hot-bed of voice talent."

CREDITS:
The board of directors of The NOLA Voice Talent Foundation would like to thank the members of NOLA Voice Talent who generously volunteered their time and expertise to make this years's seminar a successful venture for Bettye Zoller.

The board would also like to register its appreciation to Bettye Zoller who agreed to pay 10% of the revenues from enrollment and 25% of book/CD sales to The NOLA Voice Talent Foundation, Inc.

Thanks also to NVT Full Member John Wettermark for hosting the after-seminar reception, sponsored in part by The NOLA Voice Talent Foundation, at his home in the lower Garden District; and to NVT chairman and board member Greg Beaumont for kindly providing the lunch-time catering for us at cost.
