In a world where casting decisions are often made in the first 3–5 seconds, your ability to ignite authentic connection instantly is one of the most valuable booking tools you have. In this advanced, hands-on X-Session, Dave Walsh (creator of The TrueTell® Method) will guide actors through a powerful three-part process that reveals why some reads grab attention immediately—and why others fall flat. You’ll learn how to create truth on cue, sustain authenticity through an entire script (commercial, promo, narration, explainer, etc), and shift from “sounding good” to sounding human, grounded, and unmistakably you. In this 3-hour intensive, you’ll learn Dave’s “First Four Seconds” connection technique, diagnose where authenticity collapses in your reads, and build a personalized set of Purpose Pillars to anchor every audition. This is not theory—this is real-time transformation designed to strengthen the part of your voice no AI can imitate. If you want to stand out in an overcrowded VO landscape and reconnect to the sound that gets you hired, this workshop will give you the "how".
Attendee Takeaways: • Learn how to create instant, authentic connection in the first four seconds of any script—and why this is the moment that determines whether casting keeps listening. • Discover where your authenticity collapses in full-read performance and how to sustain truthful storytelling from first word to final button. • Understand how your personal Purpose Pillars shape the emotional signature of your voice and make your auditions more specific, grounded, and bookable. • Explore how to shift out of performance mode and into human presence, so your reads cut through and land with real impact.
