Voice acting possibilities

Acleave

Hi everyone,

Looking for a bit of advice Blush

My 12½-year-old daughter is autistic and was non-verbal until age 5. She’s come a long way with her speech and has recently become interested in voice acting and would love to try lessons.

She’s quite shy and not really a performer, and I do worry about how she might cope in an acting class environment or with feedback/rejection, especially as social situations can be challenging for her.

We’re based in Berkshire — does anyone have experience with something similar, or know of any supportive/inclusive classes? I’d really appreciate any advice on how to help her explore this safely and build her confidence.

Thank you Yellow heart

  • Hello  

    Voice acting is something I’ve heard about but I haven’t experience.

    I looked online using the search term “voice acting autistic children” and lots of possibilities appeared. 

    Theatres run voice acting classes for disabled children, including autistic children.

    Schools have out of term time and weekend classes.

    Drama schools run short courses and stand alone classes.

    Arts Centres run workshops.

    If you find something in your area that may suit your daughter, you could contact the organisation to find out a bit more and to talk over your concerns. Perhaps you both could arrange a visit to have a look around and ask about the class, number of pupils and outline of content. Knowing what to expect in advance of a class could help prepare your daughter. Ask for accommodations if needed.

    I do hope you find something suitable. If your daughter is keen, it would be a wonderful opportunity.
