Carrie Drovdlic helps emerging voice actors make bolder character choices through practical, encouraging coaching. She also teaches game developers how to cast and direct voice talent more effectively.
Explore my animation and character work across games, children’s media, e-learning, and more. Each project shows a different side of my range, from grounded and heartfelt to bold, strange, and wildly playful. And grandmas, too.
This was at an acting workshop at the GDEX Game Developer conference. I showed attendees how to analyze a videogame script to create a complete scene.
This is a critical skill to learn to create auditions that stand out.
This was in 2025 at a workshop with the Ohio University Game Developer group, running a script workshop with live reads and direction.
This was my presentation at the GDEX Gaming Conference to game developers on how to find the right voice actor for your game.
In live voice acting workshops, participants can expect to learn about the process of finding a character voice, analyzing a script, and embodying a character. Then they will receive a mock audition script and the opportunity to put what they learned into action with live direction and feedback. These workshops are fun, full of energy, and very memorable! All feedback is encouraging and constructive!
In game developer seminars, game devs will hear from a working game voice actor where to find the right voice actor for their game, how to draft an audition brief that brings in high-quality, on target auditions, how to hire voice actors, and how to do live direction.
