MAVO (Mid-Atlantic Voiceover) Mastery Sessions
Hi everyone! I wanted to send out the MAVO Mastery Session schedule for Friday, November 6, 2020. These are supplementary/optional sessions that are taking place before the main part of the MAVO2020 conference starts that evening. They are not included with a general admission ticket because they are separate from the main event of MAVO2020.
These are highly specialized sessions, designed for voice actors that are looking to seriously level-up their skills with top VO industry pros for instructors.
Registration for these sessions is open now and they are selling out fast. I have updated these with the amount of tickets left next to each session so you don’t miss out on the ones you would like to attend. These sessions are limited in size to 12-15 attendees each and we anticipate all of them to sell out. See below for the details on each session.
Here’s the time schedule overall – so you don’t double book yourself into two sessions at the same time!! Be careful!!!
When you click to go to the registration page for the conference, the Mastery sessions are also there for registration so just scroll down to see all of them!! 🙂
