10:00 AM PTWhat Producers Want: Inside the Minds of the Visionaries
Hosted by Les Trent, Senior Correspondent, Inside Edition
Voice actors are always guessing as to what the producer wants. This is especially evident during the audition phase, when descriptions are lacking, and one doesn’t have the benefit of the producer’s direction. The actor must therefore engage in a variety of performance gymnastics to be prepared for whatever comes their way. Learning to tap into the producer's or director's vision is a path to success and longevity. Their vision is the one that counts when everything is at stake. Les Trent, Sr. Correspondent for Inside Edition, gets inside the culture of vision with Jenni Fontana (Sr. Manager of Audio Production, NBC Entertainment) Steven Doppelt (Sr. Copy Manager, MSNBC), Sharita Peterson, Sr. Creative Director, ViacomCBS), and Rudy Gaskins, (Emmy Award-winning Producer, President & CEO of SOVAS). This panel provides a rare, inside glimpse into the minds of the visionaries. (Traducción simultánea disponible en español para todos los paneles.)
