Writers of Children’s Animations let Voice Actors Loose on their work!
Come and join industry voice-over professionals as they perform new scripts at live virtual and in-person events. As well as providing a couple of hours of merriment, goofiness and play, this event also reveals the notes and processes that go on “behind the scenes” at voice recording sessions.
Watch as scriptwriters see their new work performed live before their eyes under the voice-directing skills of top industry professionals. It’s a high-speed creative roller-coaster that’ll leave you amazed (and amused) at the talent on all sides of the animation equation.
Could us working together elevate the quality of our content? Let’s play and find out!

With?
Scripts Out Loud is organised by Julie-Ann Dean and Rhian Marston-Jones. We usually have the wonderful Barry Purves voice directing and a guest producer.
The writer and/or creator of the chosen script will also be there along with the actors.
WHy?
Children’s animated TV characters often don’t come into their own until half way through the first series. By creating a play space and having a dialogue between writers and voice actors, we can focus on building more relatable, rich and dynamic characters. By the time the first episode is aired the characters are embedded, fully formed and inspiring for the children.
how much?
Pay What You Can! We want this to be affordable for everyone, so observe our virtual events from £1!
