Wow!! I can't explain the fun of it all. Learning the business, meeting new friends, to doing the demo was all the greatest experience I never expected. The support I feel that's behind me makes me a success before I start. Great teacher, Eric Hunt, and great materials. Thank you, I'll do it all over again even though I don't have to.

The Voices for All Master Class was absolutely fantastic! I can't say enough good things about it. Not only did it allow me to get specific feedback from a voiceover professional, the Master Class gave me the information I needed to actually launch a career in the voiceover industry. Anyone considering getting into voiceover work absolutely needs to take the Voices for All Master Class!

This will be one of those "I remember when" moments upon which I will relect in my senior years at the Don Pardo Memorial Old Announcers Home and be glad I did it. Eric Hunt is my YODA (insert your own joke here) and he knew just how to get the best out of me during my recording session. He kept the class fun and informative. Bob hooked me at my intro class, no small accomplishment. It is true that the classes are not cheap but it is an investment in the future. As the poet said "Of all the words of tongue the saddest are 'what might have been'". Follow your dream. If you hear the name TIM CASSIDY in the future you'll have VFA to thank or curse as the case may be.

SUCCESS UPDATE: Just finished filming my first full-length indie film and had a blast! I was cast in a supporting role in "Tilt", a drama-thriller filmed entirely in Brained, Minnesota. Go to tiltthemovie.wordpress.com to see the teaser/trailer which was just premiered at Flyway Film Festival in Pepin, Wisconsin.  Hope this role will lead to either more film or voice over work.  Stay tuned for more info and the release of the full movie in early spring.

SUCCESS UPDATE! "I couldn't of done it with out you..." Thank you V.F.A. for giving me the know how and motivation for landing my first gig! My first client was half way around the world in Estonia. They found me because I took V.F.A.'s advice and ran with it. It was so important to have my home studio up and running.The quality recording methods that V.F.A. taught me really sealed the deal. I mean it when I say that I couldn't of done it with out you. A Million Thanks!

For anyone seriously considering a career in voice acting VOICES FOR ALL is a great place to start!

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.  

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...

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!

What an incredible experience! Thank you so much for all of the knowledge-sharing you packed into a short amount of time. I left feeling I could conquer the voice acting world :-) Of course, I also left with a realistic view of what I need to do to get started and keep moving forward. Eric was a fantastic instructor. I highly recommend the Masters Class for anyone venturing into this field. Thanks again! 

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! 

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.

I would like to thank everyone at VFA for provided me with the necessary tools to advance my career in the wonderful would of Voice Over. My initial contact with VFA was through Mike Elmore at one of our local colleges. The class was entertaining and informative. A heck of deal for 40 bucks! It peeked my interest enough that I decided to pursue a full time career in VO. Over time, Dustin would occasionally call to touch base and ask if there was anything he or the VFA crew could do for me. He helped me get signed up at the last minute for the Masters Class in Chicago. That's where the real FUN began. From the first moment of the class, Eric had everyone's complete attention. His humor, knowledge and ability to grasp a captive audience was impressive. The class was set up in a way to include participation from everyone and provide a comprehensive study course that even the most uninformed could understand. I had many questions going into the weekend and was prepared to ask them all. Most were answered inside the first hour. The VFA Workbook alone is worth the cost of the course. The resources available to the alumni of VFA is astonishing. I would still be combing forums and message boards looking for answers if not for the Workbook and the Masters class. My demo session was a blast. Eric was patient and gave fantastic direction in an attempt to bring out the best in me. The ongoing support from the VFA crew is fantastic. If I have any questions or concerns, I am quickly provided a solution in short order. Thank you Mike, Eric, Dustin, Andrea, and everyone at VFA! Because of the wealth of knowledge you provided, I have built my website (basslinevoiceovers.com), got my marketing plan together and have already been receiving auditions in Chicago. All this in less than month since finishing the class! Keep up the good work everyone!

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….
