This is a short intro to vocal techniques for puppet voices. In this 15 minute introductory segment she’ll use fun games and techniques developed by her master coaches, Daws Butler (Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound) and Lucille Bliss (Crusader Rabbit, Smurfette) with whom she had the great fortune to study with at the beginning of her performing career.
For over 25 years Brenda Besdansky, founder of Speakers World, a nationally recognized communications training and coaching company, personally offered business theater and voice coaching to entertainers, business executives, entrepreneurs and professional speakers. Now in her third act as Master of Canine Capers for Performing Pooch Productions, Brenda will instruct you on how to greatly enhance the quality of your puppet character voices.
