 2.21.12 - Taking Education Online
Education has been moving out from behind the desk and onto your computer screen for a while now. Who would have thought a time would come when you could obtain an entire degree online from the comfort of your own home? Learning has become more technologically advanced than ever before with the option to open up a screen and obtain knowledge on almost any topic with the click of a mouse. This is not a fad, this is the way of the future. Voices For All is no exception. We have always had a tremendous response to our live in-classroom Introduction to Voiceover classes, but we feel our online versions are even better. We bring a coach into our students homes through video conferencing and we offer them a one-on-one educational experience that is simply not possible in a classroom setting.
With more schools and students requesting this type of learning we couldn't help but to re-evaluate our live in-classroom Boot Camp Master Class as well. If we have the capability to teach one student at a time, on their schedule, from the comfort of their own home, at their pace, then why not raise the bar and offer our Master Class in the same format? There is no reason not to, quite the contrary actually. So we came up with our Live Online Master Class or LOMC. Now, this is not to say our Boot Camp Master Class does not have a lot to offer, because it certainly does. It has a different feel with peer interaction and in-person face to face communication with your VO coach. Our new LOMC is an alternate way to obtain the same great information in a different forum. It gives you the option of trading out that in-person group experience for one-on-one personalized training. Something you simply cannot get from a group class. Our LOMC is conducted online via video chat from your own home, at your own pace, for a fraction of the cost! People always like choices, and when it comes to voice over education you would be hard pressed to find a group of coaches who could do what we do better than here at VFA.

 October of 2010, I attended the Master Class in Chicago, with many hopes and dreams of the possibilities that layed ahead. I had no idea the variety of VoiceOver projects that were available until we began digging into the manual. A few weeks after returning home from the MC, I set up my home Studio and began to practice reading scripts, recording and editing. I kept the manual on my desk until I learned all the steps. I chose a busines name, designed and ordered business cards, began to sign up with the social networking sites and free VO sites. It was 2 months later that I landed my first 'gig' voicing the Mrs Watters character for a youtube video. Currently, every Tuesday night I work at WORT 89.9, Madison as a member of the Promos group. We produce promos for the station. Typically we write, voice, edit and fully produce 8 - 12 promos. This talent pool has a wide range of knowledge and experience from radio and television alike. I also Host "The Morning Show", Monday - Friday, 9am until Noon, on ASLN Christian Radio. This is completely unscripted and Voice Tracked, with no editing capability. This truly challenges me to either 'get it right' or do it over, and I don't like do overs! I'm learning more about breath control, speaking succinctly and clearly as well as creating topics for my show. How fun is that???!!! : ) The best paying VO project I completed during the summer was for CUNA, two eLearning programs used for training of their employees. This was awesome. I went to their studio and was blessed with an Engineer, and you know what that means - right! Yep, HE did the editing. WOO HOO Throughout 2011, I also completed a Documentary Narration, which was especially challenging, in that the script was amended, changed and added to several times before the project was done. The film has not yet been released, however I look forward to the screening when it occurs. I have done several PSA's, one went International, airing on Canadian radio stations. I voiced the character of Mrs. Watters on a youtube SIMS video. Not my best work, but it was early in my career and I was completely excited to be chosen for the part. I discovered the 'elf' character voice in me, when I voiced a promo for a radio station during Christmastime. I've produced Telephone Greetings and On-Hold Phone Messages for a variety of companies, announced Cheer Squads, DJ's and have done a few other liners as well. I was invited to audition to be a Co-host of a Podcast - but declined the offer as it was not the genre or the image I wish to portray in my business. I find some of the projects and some of them find me. I know people are checking out my vfa webpage because the visitor counter is growing steadily. I look forward to the day I can quit the day job, I also know this will take time and perseverance on my part. Laurie H. - WI
