Video Game Voice Acting Workshop with Casting & Voice Director Kim Hurdon

Saturday, September 12th & Saturday, September 19th, 2026 Attendance at both sessions is required. Limited to 12 participants.

Learn the fundamentals of video game voiceover with sought-after casting and voice director Kim Hurdon.

During this two-part workshop, you’ll explore cinematic narrative scenes, NPC barks, efforts, audition technique, physicality, creative choices, and what actors can expect during a professional video game recording session.

Day One provides the foundation, terminology, and technique through an interactive Zoom Master Class. You’ll then return the following Saturday for an In-Studio Practicum, where you’ll apply what you learned while receiving live direction from Kim.

Each participant will work on a short narrative scene, character barks, and physical efforts using material created for the workshop.

You’ll leave with a more complete understanding of both the video game audition process and the final recording process—along with practical tools you can apply to your next audition.
