2023 Showcase: Vocal Canvas

The Audio Verse Awards Nominee Showcase Podcast

My name is Dennis Connors. I am the writer, director, and one of the producers of Vocal Canvas. This podcast is an exploration of voice - through half vignette, half educational. Each episode centers one of the 5 aspects of voice -- volume, pace, pitch, resonance, and diction. This whole entire project was a collaboration between NextGen Acting, which is an acting school in NJ, East Brunswick Public Library, which is the local library, and Playhouse 22 which is a community theatre in East Brunswick NJ. We wanted to create this piece because the library got this awesome new recording booth and it just evolved from there. I wrote a majority of the episode/ skeleton. At the end of each episode, there is a community piece, which was written by a community theatre author. I hope everyone enjoys this experience. It's a little bit of everything. There's different vignettes. It's anthological, not necessarily serialized. So just enjoy all the different ways we can change up our voice and an exploration of the five aspects of voice. Thank you so much for listening, to our community writers, and to our voice over actors!
