The master class lead by Eric Hunt was exceptional. Everything necessary to begin voice overs was covered, but we didn't seem to rush over anything. The diversity of the class and the interaction as we worked on techniques made the learning experience fun and rewarding. I particularly like the marketing and studio set up portion. The recording session game me a realistic idea of what's involved in getting an acceptable final product. By the end of the weekend, I felt I had all the tools I needed to begin this new career. Thanks for a wonderful and informative weekend.

Phone calls to N.Y. = $ Securing your spot in a VFA Master Class = $ Transportation and accommodations to the VFA Master Class = $ The studio experience with your newly acquired VO techniques, tools, and extraordinary VFA coaching = PRICELESS!! Aspiring voices: Do yourself a favor, don't hesitate. Rest assured that your investment is well worth it. VFA training is all that, and a "bag of chips." Just do it! The caring staff and informative instructors give individual attention, which makes you feel special and right at home...I certainly do. As the late great Don La Fontaine (2008) would say with ebullience (during his famous movie trailer announcements), " In a world" ---where, Leah, Courtney, Casey and Eric Hunt are angels in charge of VO gifted souls, you are in good hands. I believe these talented cherubs help us to follow our dreams and claim our destiny here on earth and beyond...

VFA definitely has put me on track! I am an equity actress who really came into theatre without any training, learning as I go along. When I decided to pursue voice overs, I really wanted a company that would take all of the guesswork out of it for me, and the fact that they provide lifelong support is huge. Before I decided on their Master Class, I went over their information with a friend of mine who is a voice talent on the West Coast. She confirmed that the information VFA had given me was solid, and said I should go for it. And I am so glad I did! Of course, you can and should spend more time developing yourself as an artist and growing your business. But I really don't think you can beat the combination of information and support that you get from VFA. Another thing that impressed me was that every single person in my group had at least one read where you thought, "wow, that person sounds really good." So no, not everyone is invited to participate. They truly do screen for potential to succeed. I started sending out demos and auditions less than two months ago. I just booked my first job last week. Today I got my first radio commercial, and I will also be working on an ongoing basis with a local company that produces educational podcasts. Couldn't be happier!

Would-a, could-a, should-a. So many dreams, so many if-onlys. Saying yes meant a step with risk, but I felt that here might be that one opportunity to realize a dream. Our weekend together, a group of strangers made comfortable by Eric--his sense of humor, his stories, his encouragement--was filled with fun and insights. Even the studio time, which I had faced with trepidation (it really isnt anything like going to the dentist), turned out to be a joyful experience under Erics able direction. As a graduate, I now have access to the information which will answer my questions concerning business development, contacts, technology. And I have the friendly and experienced staff of VFA for ongoing support. The dream lives on...

Are you tired of doing the same thing day in and day out? I am, but I finally decided to try something new with the encouragement of people around me, and now the VFA family, I have that option. Skeptical, that was me. Now after completing the master class I can assure you the price is minimal for what you walk away with. For me confidence was the huge obstacle which I was quickly able to overcome with the help of classmates and VFA, especially Andrea Langworthy. Andrea is amazing!!! After the first day of class I was amazed how friendly everyone was in my class. After the second day I realized it was Andrea. Somehow she is able to bring out so many things in so many different kinds of people. The few days of instruction went by so quick, but I really felt like I was at home. The learning atmosphere is incredible, not what I expected. You will cover everything you need to know to further your possible career in voiceovers. Don't worry, if you can't remember everything you are provided with a VFA workbook which has more information than you will probably need. Now that I am back at home I still feel surrounded by support and will begin assembling my home studio. If I need anything, I know I can count on VFA to be there for me. Thank you so much Andrea, and thank you VFA staff.

Hello All! I just attended VFA's Master Class in San Jose (23-26 July, 2010) and it was so much more than I ever expected. Eric Hunt was our illustrious leader and he is really quite somethingl! He is incredibly upbeat and animated. Eric works with you and directs you until he gets the best out of you. You will surprise yourself!! As with any new endeavor, there's that little inner voice that likes to think it knows best (and it's typically talking from a place of fear). Well I'm hear to tell you that after this weekend and yesterday's recording session, that voice has been shut up! I'm excited to continue on this journey. I really believe this is opening up a whole new career for me! It is also reassuring to know that now that I've taken this class, I've become part of the VFA family. That really speaks to the integrity of this company. Thanks so much Eric and VFA!!!

After just graduating high school, I wasnt so sure if I'd be able to get into the voice acting business. It's been my dream, since I was eight-years-old, to manifest myself as a character on the television screen. A character, that like many of my childhood heroes, would inspire children or even adolescents to create, explore, and discover an aspect of themselves they may not have noticed was there. After just the Master Class with Voices For All, I learned even more about myself, what I was capable of, and how wonderful people can be in the industry. I feel enlightened, educated, and ready to explore this industry. It will be an adventure, but with the help of the VFA family and my classmates, anything is possible! I recommend this class for anyone, anywhere! Its truly an engaging, enthralling, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Once you're in the VFA headquarters, you'll feel like you're on top of the world! With a kind, well-rounded, and passionate instructor to guide you through your first baby steps into the voice acting world, you'll gain the confidence needed to succeed not just in voice acting but everyday life! Thank you VFA for making my dreams reachable!

Dear Everyone,

My weekend with Voices For All was completely amazing! My total and enthusiastic kudos go to Mike Elmore, who was friendly, professional and consistently helpful throughout the weekend. His level of knowledge about the voice over industry, and his energetic willingness to share this knowledge with us made for a very valuable and intense experience. This expertise culminated in the studio session, where I was quite impressed by the teamwork between Mike and Chris of Falcon studios. I was also really surprised to hear how much better my voice sounded in the studio than just speaking “live!” And I fully intend to be extremely surprised when I hear my finished demos.

I know I’m not alone in having an initial hesitation to enroll in the class due to the cost. I pondered it for some time, but finally decided every specialized field requires training, and training costs money. This is an investment in my dreams, and my dreams deserve the attention of my time and resources. I’m very glad that I have chosen Voices For All as a training and support partner. The future is wide open, and after the Master Class I feel like I’ve been shown a pathway that can lead to success. Now I need to get my marketing shoes on and get walking! I’m in the Professional Image Shoe Store at this very moment….

Where do I begin?  From the moment I took my intro to voiceover class with Patrick, I knew I had to become a voiceover artist.  The intro class gave me a brief overview of what the industry was like, which only made me hungry for more!  Most big decisions in my life take me quite a while to make – but deciding to take the masters class was the easiest decision I have ever made. I am so glad I took the class because I know the time and effort put into it will pay off financially, but more importantly I will have a career that is fulfilling and a lot of fun!  Mike Elmore was my instructor and an excellent one at that!  The class was extremely informative but Mike also made it a lot of fun.  By Sunday evening, I knew that I had all the tools I needed to be successful in the voiceover industry.  I can’t wait to see where this career takes me.  Thanks so much VFA, see you on the other side of the microphone!

VFA has been an amazing compnay to work with and I highly recommend their instructors and staff.  I just finished the Master Class and WOW, what an amazing weekend filled with fun and laughter, but detailed instruction as well.  I feel completely prepared to start up my new business, set up my home studio, market my voice and start working. Kudos to Leah and Eric for making me feel incredibly comfortable and able to really push myself to go "over the top," take a chance and enjoy myself.  To become a voiceover artist/actor you need to make the commitment mentally and financially, but it is worth it and I cannot express this enough.  Thank you to VFA for opening up a whole new exciting world of opportunity for me.  Success, here I come!

SUCCESS UPDATE: Just wanted to drop a line and let you know that within a few days of publishing my website, I received a job doing the voicemail greeting and prompts for a company out of Tennessee. I spoke to them in length over the past few days and they mentioned that they heard my demos on a talent marketplace and they then contacted me directly through my site instead of submitted an audition request. This shows me that even though you may have your demos on a talent marketplace, having your own site is definitely a plus. Many potential customers don't want to pay commissions and have to weed through 50 or more voices for something such as a voicemail greeting. So, having my own, easy to navigate website, has already paid off for me. And my fee has already paid for 6 months of hosting. I would strongly suggest anyone thinking of getting their own site, to do it. Thanks again VFA! I have once again, turned your teachings into profit.

Paul F. - IL

I felt the class was a huge success. I learned more then I expected to about home studios and employment opportunities for voice actors. The dome session was fast, enjoyable, and very relaxed. I will reccomend this class to anybody who asks about voice acting.

I recently completed the Voices For All workshop in Albany, New York conducted by Andrea Langworthy. I came away feeling very impressed with every aspect of the experience, and happy to know that my money had been well spent. Clearly, a great deal of thought and planning over the years has contributed to the smooth execution of this weekend course. Although I did not think it possible, I left with the knowledge that I had been given all of the tools and support that I could possibly need to enter this field. Now it is up to me to market myself and continue my education. However, I know that I can always turn to the VFA team at any point if I feel confused or stuck along the way.

Katie M. - MD

What a great voice you have! Heard that? I DID! Got the bug to be a voiceover artist but wonder how to start & what you need... where to look & how to do it? THAT WAS ME! Can you receive what you absolutely need in one weekend from the VFA Master Class? YUP!!!!! Can you possibly retain it all once you step out the door? NOPE! But VFA knows that from experience! That's why the weekend class is optimal for anyone with a life! Andrea Langworthy covers every relevant topic and excavates from deep within you every conceivable emotion you could have about toothpaste & OK!...How about chocolate! She psychs you up, gives you practice, directs you through your studio session. Presto! Your edited tracks with music are completed and up on your very own website in no time! And you sound like a pro!!! It all comes with a takeaway workbook let's call it the "Voiceover Bible" & and a priceless promise---VFA will be there for you forever! Now, its only been 3 weeks, but I BELIEVE!!!!!!!!

My experience with the Voices for All Master Class was exhilarating! It was such fun to meet so many wonderful people from a variety of places with interesting stories to tell. The instructor was talented, knowledgeable, and encouraging. She was able to skillfully put us all at ease, regardless of our expanded or limited comfort zones. Her way of extracting something new and different out of us was done with patience and cajoling by way of great examples and demonstrations. The entire program was paced well with ample regard for comfort and attention span. Participation was the key... No point in a vocal training class without many opportunities for practice alone, with a partner or in a group. Overall my experience was an A+ with an A+ to Voices for All.

Catherine T. - MA

I took the intro class mostly out of curiosity. When I learned I could work from, combined with VFA's encouragement that I could succeed at this, I decided to go for it. In the Master Class Eric Hunt's knowledge was impressive and his assistance has been very helpful. The Master Class book is proving to be a thorough and practical guide directing me in developing this pursuit and find starting points as I move forward. I am excited and eager to pursue this endeavor.

I spent ten years behind a cash register hearing "That's some voice you've got there." and "You should be on the radio!" all the while thinking to myself, "What do they know? nobody wants to hear me, besides I can't do that, you've got to know someone to get into radio, and voice over work is all done in New York and Chicago." Then one night at the store while flipping through the local parks and recreation winter schedule I saw the VFA Intro class (for probably the third time in as many years) and finally decided to see what it was all about. I went in that night expecting to learn that I'd have to relocate, or spend years in training, or was wasting my time; but I got none of that, Bob was very friendly and made the whole thing fun. I learned what the business of voice over really was, how it worked and how I could become a part of it. Bob answered every question we had and laid out the financial start up cost and potential vs. probable gain in a frank realistic manner, this was no "Sign up with us and you'll soon be rich and famous!" speech as I had feared it might be. A few days later I was contacted about my voice evaluation and promptly signed up for the master class in Seattle (which turned out to be in Bellevue, but close enough). Those few days and the included recording session were probably the most fun I've ever had. Mike went through the material quickly, but always had time to clarify a point when needed; he laid down the basics and let us run with it, herding us back on track when we got too far off course. He taught me to speak with feeling, and then more feeling, even if I think it's the wrong feeling, I mean I gained the ability to listen to direction and really try to dial in on what's being asked for. Finally, most of all, I gained confidence, a belief in myself and a feeling that I really do have something to offer that other people would be interested in; and no one can put a price on that. So finally we come to the followup support, the real value of Voices for All. I know it's only been a few months and I haven't had many questions for the staff here, but when I have needed help they've been here, as I'm writing this I'm awaiting feedback on the sound quality of my new recording space and tips for improving it. In the end I suppose all there is to say is; VFA is there, and VFA cares, because my success is their success.

William C. - WA

The master class gave me tools to move forward, helping me understand basics and what additional questions to ask about voice over acting. Nothing better can happen after taking a class than the feeling that says, "I like this, and I want to learn more."

SUCCESS UPDATE: My first gig was offered to me just a few days after the demo's were posted and my equipment was set up.  I found a posting on craigslist asking for a female voice over for a hair salon.  I submitted a link to my demo's, and then went about my day.

I was so estatic when I got an email later that night saying that they wanted to use me for their Hair Salon Video!  I was literally jumping up and down in my seat with excitement and amazement!!! My first VO gig, and so soon!  We worked out the terms over email, he sent me a script.  It was recorded and edited it that same night, sent off as a wave file, and two days later, my salon commercial was on You Tube!  And true to their word, I received payment in the mail just a few days later.

I can't wait until my internship is over and I can devote more time to Voice Over.  I want to work on my animation/gaming/ character demo, and have been developing some distinct 'voices'.  I also want to start submitting myself for more gigs, to agents, and to studio's and companies.  

I'm certain that more success stories are sure to follow!

Heather G. - CA

Wow, what an adventure! I was first exposed to Voices for All at an intro class in Fresno California and figured to give it a try. The Masters Class, four months later in San Jose, was exciting and wonderful; great group of people, lots of support and Eric was informative, entertaining and very professional as our instructor. Everything associated with VFA has been FIRST CLASS. Now the demos are done, studio is being put together and contacts are being made. Look for me soon in the "success updates". If you're considering a full or part-time voiceover career you've come to the right place. With all the tools and support provided, I say, "Join the family!"

Tim M. - CA

Initially, I only took the beginner's class to cure some boredom. It was so much fun, that I signed up for the advanced course. What a great group of instructors and students. I never imagined I would actually start thinking of voiceovers as a possible career choice! Voices For All has a passionate group of instructors for teaching about the voiceover industry, and they do it well. They really love their work and believe in the business, which is so uncommon in the typical 9-5 job.

Nate S. - OH

I attended a VFA Masters Class in March 2010, and was very impressed with the comprehensive education and practical application tips received to begin a voice acting career with confidence. I highly recommend the Masters Class for anyone interested in a voice acting career. It is a must do!

Pete H. - OR

Voices for All (VFA) training was an outstanding experience! As a retired teacher and trainer I appreciate instruction and instructors that energize, encourage and educate. Eric Hunt, our VFA leader did all of that every moment of our sessions. The materials were easy to follow and comprehend, the guidance was professional in its demands and support, and the interactions we had with one another created a bond of trust that allowed each of us to maximize our time in class. I am grateful for my association with this outstanding company and heartily recommend them to anyone interested in exploring a new career path in the voiceover industry.

Henry K. - CA

Hi my name is Jeff T. and I recently took the masters class in Seattle. It was by far the best class I could have taken for getting my foot in the door for voice overs. The class was well put together and and the professionalism was great. I also thank VFA for the great quality of my voice demos that I did with them after the class. On that note then I am very happy I took the class and to anyone who is thinking about starting voice overs I would recomend Voices For All. Thanks again for the tools and knowledge that came from the masters class.

Jeff T. - WA

SUCCESS UPDATE: I am really thrilled about my budding voice over career! I spent a few weeks learning to use my Home Studio. It takes awhile to learn the fine points of editing, but I am improving all the time! One way I've honed my skills is by doing lots of auditions for jobs on voices.com. I also worked my first full day for a company called Digital Education Productions. They create a series of ESL teaching DVDs called "Easy: The ESL Series." I love the flexibility of the work, and it is very gratifying to be paddling my own canoe. I'm working on my New Yawk accent.....unearthing it from my growing up years in New Jersey.

I'm working on creating promotional materials, doing lots of networking, and donating my services to a local school auction, as well as bartering, to get my name out there! I've never had more fun while working in my whole life! Thank you for the excellent training, and the invaluable follow-up support.

 SUCCESS UPDATE UPDATE: Hi Again Wonderful Teachers! I just had to tell you the good news. After 300 or more auditions, which really honed my editing skills, I landed and completed a job for an animated healthcare video for the Los Angeles Unified School District. The job was offered through Sodium Entertainment. I worked hard on it and am really excited to be working in my new field! Thanks to all of you for nurturing me through the early stages of this satisfying new venture.
