Consultancy & Training
Two core values at OM are in sharing and research. Articulating and refining methodologies to better empower all aspects of our production universe are edemic. Our internal culture gnaws the bone at the boundaries of the possible. We have evolved at the cutting edge of dialogue work, rising to the challanges that vidoe games, new and transmedia bring, and what we learn, we share. We facilitate workshops, provide both on and off site training, and lead university and drama school lectures. We deal with various aspects of the dialogue production process from qualitative technologies and methodologies, script and design, acting and performance, to implementation and quality assurance.Voice for Animation
