The Green Room

Voiceover acting offers young performers an exciting way to bring stories to life. Without costumes, sets, or cameras, kids must rely on their voices to create characters, convey emotion, and spark imagination. In this two-hour workshop, actor and voiceover talent Courtney Rioux will guide students through vocal technique, character-building, script interpretation, and mic etiquette as they explore a wide range of copy. With Courtney’s warm teaching style and deep industry knowledge, young actors will gain practical tools they can use in auditions, performances, and at home.

Courtney Rioux is an actor and voiceover talent with more than 20 years of experience coaching and teaching kids. Represented by Stewart Talent and DDO Artists Agency, she has voiced dozens of national commercials, including the recognizable voice of Jimmy Dean, and can currently be heard on an episode of Wonder Pets in the City. She also spent 11 seasons acting on Chicago Med, giving her a rich understanding of both on-camera and voiceover performance.

Parents are invited to take part in a short Q&A at the start of class. Each family will receive audio recordings of their child’s work, along with a summary of the material covered and tips for continued growth.
