Course outline

What is the course about?

Making a professional voicereel.

What topics will we cover?

Preparing yourself and appropriate material to record a successful voicereel. Part of the preparation involves working with fellow students to record some radio drama. You will then record a series of short pieces of your own choosing such as dramatic monologues, commercials, narrations and audiobooks. Selecting recordings suitable to be edited for your voicereel.

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

Record material of a high standard for inclusion on a voicereel.
Identify appropriate market sectors for your voicereel
Critically evaluate your own and other students’ work.

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

An advanced course for students who are experienced in audio work or have completed two or more level 1 audio classes (Acting for Radio 1; Rehearse and Record a Radio Drama; Working in Voiceovers; Radio Presenting).
In order to get the most from the course you will be able to:
• Speak English fluently and clearly.
• To read a script accurately.
• Give and receive constructive feedback.
• Take notes.

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

By recording, playing back and critiquing your work. You will also help your fellow students and will therefore need to attend for the full duration of each session. You will need to select and thoroughly prepare pieces for your voicereel.

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

You will need to provide £2 to cover cost of media (e.g CDs), postage and packaging.

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

Yes. Before you can enrol on this course, you need to have an advisory interview with the relevant department. Without this the enrolment team will be unable to process your enrolment. Please contact the department to arrange your interview, or to find out about drop-in sessions.

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. Recordings are discussed by your tutor and fellow students.

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

Please complete the evaluation form at the end of your course. These are monitored and help us to continually improve our courses.

How do I find out if I can get some support for my learning?
