Course outline

What is the course about?

We will apply the thories and principles of voiceover to a variety of true to life situations during this very practical training day.

What topics will we cover?

We will revise and discuss theories and principles of interpreting that apply to voiceover situations and relate these to educational settings. We will also practise putting these to use in a variety of simulated scenarios, eg 1:1 meetings and group discussion, with peer and tutor feedback.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

- Feel more confident and skilled at voicing over for deaf students in a variety of situations.
- Continue applying theory to develop your skills in your future work.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

You need to have signing skills equivalent to level 3 or above and be regularly working with deaf people. It would be ideal if you have already attended introductory voiceover training at City Lit or elsewhere. You will also need to be fluent in spoken English and be able to skim read preparation materials to locate subject specific vocabulary and main points.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

Teaching methods used will include: small group roleplay, roleplay with a deaf 'student', class discussion, presentations DVD work and group work.

The morning session will be taught by Russell Aldersson, former lecturer at Wolverhampton University. In the afternoon he will be joined by a co-trainer to supervise and feed back on voiceover scenarios with deaf participants.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

There are no other costs.

Do I need to have an interview before I can enrol?

No.

What feedback will I get?

You will receive regular feedback from your tutor throughout the course, as and when appropriate. At the end of the course you and your tutor are asked to assess the progress you have made.

How will I be able to give my views on the course?
