Hilary Norris

This workshop provides you with the opportunity to analyse your vocal strengths and weaknesses, learning how to work with and improve on them. You will learn techniques to improve your vocal strength, quality and stamina. The workshop also teaches how to approach learning a new accent, with an opportunity to try two varied accents. Everything that has been gained in the session will then be applied to script work.
