How does this course help.
With the entry of various actors from other states into South Indian films…the field of Dubbing, now, needs loads of talent. Numerous Ad films and Television series, Web series, and E leaing portals, NEED voices. The chance to establish a lucrative career… awaits you.
Apart from the chance to make a career, the course will also help you improve your relationships and overall personality
An actor is nothing without his or her voice. A visual, or the best emotion will never carry to the audience if it is not supported by an effective voice. Can you imagine an Amitabh Bachchan, Rajni, Kamal, Vikram, Vijay Sethupathi, Vijay, Surya… scene without voice???
The importance of voice cannot be emphasised more.
Yet NOBODY has ever taught you how you can train it.

"We never knew Voice acting is an art form until we met Mr. Vinod Anand. We went through testing a hundred voices before closing in on Mr. Vinod Anand to dub for one of the main characters in our film ‘Vikram Vedha’. He is extremely versatile and can bring about any emotion with his varied modulations. A lot of good dubbing artists make excellent actors too. This initiative ‘Kural Kalai’ is commendable as proper training and honing of voice/acting skills is the need of the hour in the Film Industry. We’re sure Mr.Vinod Anand will bring about the best in his students as he’s a very patient and sincere teacher too!" Cheers!
It was sometime in 1987, that I met Vinod Anand . I was doing a voice Over in Thamizh for a documentary & he was doing it in English . I was awestruck on hearing his manly & majestic voice & impeccable diction. He stayed back after his assignment to listen to my commentary. When I came out after completing, he threw his arms around me & sincerely appreciated my performance. Since then, I have done quite a few Ads & documetaries produced by him. I could see the creative side of Vinod which proved his versatality as an Ad & Documentary producer, script writer,Director & a natural actor. I could see him as a fantastic teacher & motivator. He has the ability to inspire & bring out the best from the artists to achieve the desired output. His theater experience & skill / talent will certainly prove to be a boon to the budding theater artists & young aspirants . Above all, Vinod is a Frank,plain speaking, no nonense person who calls 'A spade A spade'. But,a very warm hearted affectionate good human being.
