Tuesday, April 30th • Pro Fight Club • AUTOMOTIVE with CLIFF ZELLMAN

Cliff Zellman is an established producer, director, audio engineer, editor, and currently Director of Talent Development for ACM Talent – Automotive Division. “I've been in the production industry for over 45 years and pretty much recorded, produced, directed and edited just about anything & everything audio. My firm foundation in music has been instrumental (pun intended) in my success on the "other side of the glass."

It started with Rock and Roll, L.A. in the late ‘70’s & 80’s. Then in the ‘90s, it shifted to dialog recording for animation with Disney, Dic, & Saban until he put it all together into one crystal clear focus...voice over and audio production for local and regional Automotive. He moved from L.A. to Dallas in ’95 to join RadioVision, a cutting-edge full-service production company. After 25 years as the Director of Audio Production / Client Creative Services, he has produced well over 22,000 TV & Radio spots and continues daily for multiple agencies across the country.

During his years in Dallas, he has led dozens of convention workshops for VO Atlanta, The Voice Over Network, Faffcon, World Voices Organization, JMC Euro Retreat 2018, One Voice Conference, VO Intensity, and MAVO. He has been a guest host on most of the popular podcasts. In 2005, he started the Dallas Voice Acting Meet Up Group (the DVA) with membership peaking at 1,500 and logged over 150 meet ups.

He is also the owner of A-MazingDemos, producing custom demos for the professional Voice Over industry.

Thursday, April 18th • Pro Fight Club • VIDEO GAMES with KEITH ASACK

Keith Asack is currently the Dialogue Director at Insomniac Games. A typical day can vary from supervising sessions, reading over sides, casting, talking to agents, working with writers, directing talent, scheduling, creating dialogue tech or listening to hundreds of auditions.

Keith graduated from Berklee College of Music and began his career working with singers as a coach and songwriter. Very soon after he was approached to work on the dialogue for Bioshock Infinite, editing and recording thousands of lines. His passion for dialogue in video games and his past titles include: Bioshock: Infinite, The Magic Circle, Medal of Honor, Spiderman: Miles Morales, Ratchet and Clank, Marvel's Spiderman 2 as well as thousands of songs and some movies.

Keith has made it a key goal of his to cast the very best voices from as diverse an audition pool as possible. He firmly believes that underrepresented voices hold the talent of tomorrow and casting/voice directors must work harder to ensure a fair audition process for all.

Currently, he is a director with Marvelous Spiral Studios and Network Nexus Studios. Anthony also teaches actors ADR privately and many of his students have gone on to book dubbing gigs after taking sessions with him.

Michael Schwalbe is a lot of things: Voice actor. Singer. Director. Writer. Often called the "vocal chameleon," less-often called the "Themperor." He has performed as many as 60+ roles for a single game more than once, and can be heard in over a dozen AAA video games (well over a hundred games and anime in total), in addition to numerous commercial and corporate campaigns for clients like Toyota, McDonalds, Staples, and many, many more.

Graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Music Business from Belmont University, Michael then spent several years working at a division of Warner Music Nashville while continuing his vocal pursuits. Eventually, his talents started opening up doors at Warner, culminating in voicing Blake Shelton's 2013 CMA promotional campaign, directly leading to the start of his voiceover and voice-casting business What He Said Voiceovers, LLC.

Eleven years later, Michael has won a SOVAS award for Outstanding National Commercial Voiceover, directed many hundreds of hours of sessions, and acted in many more. He is represented nationally by AVO Talent. He loves gaming and hiking with his wife Courtney, an accomplished vocal teacher and opera singer herself, curating his multiple collections of interesting doodads, and basking in playlists of the world's most eclectic music.

Renée Johnson is the Creative Director of Disney Character Voices at The Walt Disney Company.

She has been a voice director and dialogue writer/editor with Disney Character Voices since 2002. She’s been the lead dialogue editor and one of the key VO directors on the Kingdom Hearts series of games, as well as the new Disney Dreamlight Valley. She has directed numerous other interactive titles, as well as theme park shows, ice shows, apps, toys, etc. Basically, if it’s Disney and it talks, there’s a good chance she had something to do with it.

Working with characters from Mickey Mouse and Snow White through Mirabel from Encanto, there are a lot of voices in her head—in a good way! Princesses, pirates, fish, and talking cars…she helps them all be true to themselves and their stories.

For this class, Renée will focus on a key aspect of much of her directing: voice matching. How do you recreate a voice and be authentic to a character that already exists? What is she listening for in a voice-matching audition? What are some of the tricks actors have taught her about what helps them recreate a voice?
