Ready tofeel what being a voice actor is like?
Then welcome to our Intro Program – with a Group Foundation & Evaluation Class! … Where 1,200 successful new voice actors began:)
1. You’ll begin by figuring out the genres you’ll most likely book. (This is hugely important.): You’ll have a 2-hour foundation class with one of our coaches. Your coach will answer any questions you may have, give you scripts to try, and give you some feedback with a plan to move forward. NOTE that you can request a coach who specializes in a certain genre, such as animation, audiobooks, commercial, documentary, narration…23 genres total! OR you can request a coach who has general comprehension of the entire industry. Voice actors are way more successful when they learn the genres best suited to their voice, goals, and interests.

Benefits of the Intro Package with our Group Evaluation Class:
- This is a realistic representation of the voiceover environment in which the voice actor reads scripts, the client listens, directs, and gives feedback remotely (or in the case of our in-person classes in NYC or LA from the other side of the booth!)
- Observing other students helps you develop your “ear.” Voiceover performance is approached in various ways, depending on each student’s personal nature, ability, and other factors — as you’ll see when other members of the class read.
- More than that,you will learn by observing the other students’ response to direction.You learn by taking direction yourself, but you learneven moreby hearing the changes other people make.
- Ultimately, you’ll learn how to incorporate that insight intoyour owndelivery.
