Voicing Audiobooks
Course overview
An audiobook is storytelling in its purest form. In this course, distinguished industry director and producer Tamsin Collison shares techniques for bringing a book to life through the power of a single voice.
This form of training can be one of the most liberating experiences for any versatile performer.
Tamsin has directed audiobooks with, amongst others, Juliet Stevenson, Thandie Newton, David Tennant, Billie Piper, Andrew Lincoln and Hugh Grant. In 2021, she directed Sir Kenneth Branagh and Lolita Chakrabarti in All the Sonnets of Shakespeare; and her production of The Drifted Stream: An Anthology of British and Irish Poetry by Andrew Motion has recently been released on Audible.

Feedback from previous students
“An amazing experience beyond imagination! My first short course at RADA and I couldn't be more grateful for the amazing set of people I got a chance to interact with. The learning, complemented with the experience, makes it a course worth doing. Our tutor was undoubtedly the most supportive teacher I have come across. The best 5 days of learning and growing as a person.”
