Silly Voices: Creating Characters in Puppetry & Animation
Summary:
In this delightfully goofy workshop, vocal artist Victor Yerrid will help you create memorable characters. You’ll talk, squawk, slurp, chirp, & sing, AND stretch your vocal cords to the max. Let’s go!
Description:
Creating rich, three-dimensional characters is a huge part of being a successful puppeteer and developing strong character voices is key. What starts as just a sound, phrase, or imitation can evolve into a beloved character that you will perform for years to come. Oftentimes, the only thing holding us back is ourselves. Our own inhibitions can keep us from reaching our full goofball potential or FGP, an acronym I made up while typing this sentence. And where better to let down your guard and find your FGP, than in a room full of cuckoo heads just like yourself. So come one, come all. Come puppeteers, voice performers, ice cream eaters, horse thieves, and anyone who loves to laugh. Let’s do some silly voices together and then go take over the world!
This is the third year for Sith Core, an abdominal workout that you will fear, will make you angry, will love to hate, and yes you will suffer! Recommend a yoga mat or beach towel.
Description:
This is the third year I have offered Sith Core. I am very excited to offer it! It is a pleasure to weave together my love of Star Wars and my love of physical fitness. Taking lessons from the Book of Sith, the movies, and the legends we will share in the contemplation of what it means to be a Sith while preparing our bodies for the rigors of a full day of Gen Con! This core workout can be modified for every fitness level and will include Sith teachings. I do recommend a yoga mat or a beach towel, but that is not required. Also look for my other offerings Jedi Yoga, in its fifth year; Mandalorian Martial Arts, also in its third year; Buff Barbarian, in its second; and Fit Fighter making its debut.
