Built for the booth
Make useful choices when context is limited
Game dialogue is often recorded out of sequence, with branching outcomes, compact line labels and less context than an actor would receive on stage or screen. Coaching shows you how to decode those clues, establish playable circumstances and offer varied takes without losing character truth.
You will practise reactive dialogue, barks, efforts, combat vocals and direction under pressure. The goal is to build performance habits that help a director get clear, usable choices quickly while protecting consistency across long scripts and recording sessions.

Industry-led coaching
Learn from an active AAA voice director
You do not need previous voice-over experience. The work starts from your existing acting craft and translates it into the constraints and opportunities of game recording. Sessions can focus directly on audition material, character choices, line-to-line variation, efforts and how to present multiple useful takes.
Keith Higinbotham is an active AAA voice director and performer whose credits include Baldur's Gate III, Dragon Quest I–III HD-2D Remakes, Space Marine II, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and Nioh 3.
