WHERE VOICE WORKS THE SCRIPT
VSwerks is the animation performance studio of Ian James Corlett, whose voice work has reached over 600 million people worldwide. ​​​​​
This is personalized, directed performance work. Not a class.
Until now, Ian’s teaching was confined to in-person work at the SAG-AFTRA Don LaFontaine Voice-Over Lab and the Tisch School of the Arts. ​
​​​​​​​
​
​​Participants work through a curated set of animation characters, receiving direct, personal direction from Ian James Corlett.​
The emphasis is on clarity, adjustment, and control —
with one goal: land the performance and move forward.
​
​
​
​​​
Some participants arrive with years of professional training.
Others are finally ready to take animation performance seriously.​​​​​​​​​​
Readiness matters more than polish.
The standard is the same.
The starting point isn’t.​
Each tier includes character selection, directed setup, personal notes, and a refinement pass.
