Your Instructor this week:
As a leading voice actor specializing in animation, Sunday Muse has become the “Go To” person for those in the animation industry who seek to learn a one of a kind technique she devised called “Actively on the Spot.” This original technique teaches students how to animate their bodies and voice through connecting to the emotions and actions of the characters they’re playing. By using this technique, Sunday’s clients have gone on to book roles in major cartoons such as “FAMILY GUY”on FOX, “SUPER WHY” on PBS (by the creators of “BLUES CLUES”) ‘WILL & DEWITT,”(KIDS WB) “FUTURE IS WILD.” (DISCOVERY KIDS NBC) Top casting directors such as Debra Toffan & Jessie Thomson who cast “MISS SPIDER,” “ROLIE POLIE OLIE,” “CAILLOU,” “ARTHUR,” seek her expertise on casting recommendations for lead roles in animated series.
“SUNDAY MUSE CARTOON VOICES FOR KIDS,” is a one of a kind workshop taught in Toronto, New York and Vancouver, where Sunday shares all the valuable tools she gained during her many years as a lead voice for cartoons. Sunday has provided her vocal talents in popular series as: Disney’s Emmy award winning Rolie Polie Olie, (Playhouse Disney) Cheer Bear/CARE BEARS, JO-JO’S CIRCUS (Playhouse Disney) TIME WARP TRIO (Discovery Kids - NBC) CAILLOU, (PBS) RESCUE HEROES, UNDERGRADS, YAM ROLL, JANE & THE DRAGON, 6 TEEN, as well as dozens of radio commercials.
Sunday has taught at the Children’s Theatre Company NYC, Jewish Community Centre NYC, Montessori Schools & the prestigious National Theatre School whose program originates from Michel St. Denis, founding member of Juilliard. Alumni includes Emmy Award winning actress Sandra Oh.
Sunday has been a featured guest on numerous radio shows and she delivers a voice over podcast “How Kids do Characters.” Sunday is also in production with her own radio show entitled “Bitty Idiot” based on a character she performed at the Comedy Store in L.A which will be airing in syndication in 2008.
Sunday Muse honed her acting skills on the stages of National Theatre School, Second City, Yuk Yuk’s, Laugh Resort, and her one woman shows.

How old should my child be in this program? Is there any way I can call you for more info? Are the cartoons in 2008, and if my child gets the job when can he work, and what network is the cartoon on?
Is the cartoon on nickelodeon, Disney channel, or cartoon network?
