A reliable Internet connection will be needed.

“Wow, you have a great voice!” Have you heard that more times than you can count? Or maybe you listen to your favorite audiobooks, commercials, or cartoon characters and think, “I could do that!” If so, then you could have what it takes to begin working as a professional Voiceover Artist. Explore the voiceover industry with your instructor, a professional, working voice actor from Voices for All, in a one-on-one, personalized, video chat setting. Discover the current trends in the industry and how they make it easy and affordable for just about anyone to get involved. In this one-time, 90-minute, introductory class, you’ll also learn about the different types of voiceovers and the tools you’ll need to find success. Your instructor will record you as you read a real script, then offer you some coaching so you can improve your delivery, taking notes on your performance so you can receive a professional voiceover evaluation later.

Marci Stonehenge
Bell Center Community Rm
This class is non-judgmental, safe and fun. It’s a non-intimidating, slow basic relaxing practice focused on applying moderate stress to the connective tissues (tendons, fascia, and ligaments) with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility and posture. This class incorporates asanas, gentle sequences, pranayama, and guided meditation to support increased awareness of the mind and body.

Yoga has the ability to meet us where we are in the moment, in bodies and minds. We will strive to let go and rediscover a sense of wholeness, taking a break from constantly trying to fit our pieces together. Wear comfortable clothing that allows for a full range of motion. Yoga is practiced in bare feet for traction and safety. We might have extra mats and blocks but please bring yours if you have them. It is possible to practice without them but you will find your mat helps provide cushioning and traction as you pose and in defining your space. The blocks improve the alignment of the body and give support in some of the poses. It is best to eat lightly two hours before class. Suggest drinking water before and after class rather than during.

Steve Brown
RM 111
In Shantyman 101, you’ll join shantyman Steve “Shanghai” Brown for a memorable voyage that will take you back to the days of working sail, though a musical – and historical – journey. You’ll learn songs dating back as far as 500 years, but mostly from the mid-1800s. Songs from the packet trade, the clipper ship trade, from men-o-war, whaling ships and the fishing fleets, and even songs about slave ships, will all be sung and discussed. There will be songs of voyages, whaling, devastating storms, grog, and the most dangerous pirates of all – the women of New York!

In Shantyman 101, you’ll learn about shanties and sea music as a form of oral and social history, and you’ll learn, just as the sailors did, by singing. You’ll learn about how shanties were used, the shipboard cultures that evolved, the diverse crews many ships had, the press gangs of the British Navy, and the shanghaiing of sailors on the Barbary Coast here in California. You’ll learn of the Blackball Line, the Battle of Trafalgar, acts of piracy, shipwrecks, and waterfront dives in ports around the world. You’ll learn why shanties and sea songs are important historically and musically, and how they incorporate musical influences from the different cultures of the sailors of the time.
