Most radio production people think "Character Voices" = "Funny Voices." But a successful character voice is a character, not just a voice.

Patrick Fraley has created voices for over 4,000 animated characters during the past 30 years— putting him among the Top 10 animation voice artists of all time. He's provided voices for films like Monsters Inc. and Toy Story II and such TV shows as Scooby Doo and King of the Hill.

Fraley will teach you the same methods he uses to develop an astonishing array of long-lived characters.

These aren't "theoretical exercises"; he's built his own legendary career by putting these techniques to use every day. You'll be amazed at how quickly and effortlessly you will be able to create fresh, original characters.

Pat periodically teaches exclusive workshops for actors who want to expand their range of improvisation, accents, and character voices. Nancy Cartwright (voice of Bart Simpson and one of Pat's students) says, "Pat's techniques cover everything the pros in the industry expect you to know, but nobody else teaches!"
