Having your own home studio is an invaluable asset – not just in times of Covid-19! This brand-new online course, delivered by the industry-leading screen and audio department at LAMDA, helps to freshen up and develop voice acting and technical skillset. Suiting both professional actors and people new to the industry, the course will help students to set up their own home studio and ramp up their voice-over work.
