My Living Studio

Day one of the workshop consisted of learning the standard American and Britush accents.

My take away is that, I enjoyed the standard British accent more. It's more playful, can be regal and posh.

The standard American accent was fun also, however more lazy with the tongue with compounding words.

Today should be just as fun as we discover the power of proper voiceover etiquette.

We'll engage in various voice exercises along with proper voice maintenance.

After 24 weeks of training, we're proud to share a few photos from the shoot this weekend.

Our studio decided to film their scenes as a short film, scenes are from the script, Catch Me If You Can.

Excellent job by everyone, special thank you to Tobit Luyeye for stepping in to help with the production. A huge thank you to Brad Nyan our camera operator.

Rob Yusep, thank you providing the 2nd camera to assist with expediting the day.

We'd also like to thank all the student actors and crew for hanging in there over the 9 hour day.

A few pictures of our end of the year Christmas party @ the studio. It was a remarkable year of growth for both the studio and student actors in 2025. Witnessing the growth and casting of quite a few students in year 5 was truly inspiring for both Tobit and myself. Lets keep the momentum onward for 2026. A huge congratulations to everyone who stepped outside of their comfort zone and attended out studio this year.
