I’ve been through hundreds of training classes while in the service, working for the Federal government and for a major aerospace company.  I can honestly say that Eric was the best instructor I’ve ever had in all those years.   His knowledge of the vocation, his experiences and especially his enthusiasm in teaching the techniques was remarkable. My friend, Mike M. and I both really appreciated the interaction, humor and talent that Eric has to make this a memorable experience.  Thanks for having such great talent to spur us on.  

I had been following an intuitive urge since the 1990’s to get involved in voice over work. Finally I took the introductory course at the University in Cincinnati and sometime later, I enrolled in the Master Class in August 2010. I felt great. Being in the room with adults my age who were at similar cross roads in their lives was a welcomed sign for me that I had made a good decision. Reading the scripts was enjoyable. It was such a welcomed relief from the work I was currently doing. Immediately I began to assemble my home studio and set up my business. Pro-tools was intimidating and a challenge I just didn’t want to face because I was not comfortable with the software, nor computer literate with the Apple system. I soon realized that working at home, interacting with only web pages, looking for work via the internet was foreign and very uncomfortable for me. I am from the old school where you engaged face to face. I called Courtney and told her I was having troubles, she helped me via a phone patch and we worked on Pro-tools. Wow! I was surprised. I have continued to call her many times, to the point of simply being embarrassed. She has never changed her posture, polite, patient, positive and encouraging. I have never changed my reaction. I am overcome with gratitude and have received more from VFA than I every expected. Courtney’s support has been the greatest contributor to my being able to hang in there. And you know what? She was right. I am able to do more with Pro-tools than I expected. I am more comfortable with interacting with web sites. I had spoken to a local VO celebrity in Cincinnati and he told me that face to face auditions are becoming rare. The majority of auditions happen via the internet because it is cheaper. If one passes the audition then the company will arrange for studio space to make the final recording. VFA shared this information in the August Master Class, now it has been proven to me. I made a good decision when I invested in myself with VFA. Thank you all very much. This has been and will continue to be a very rewarding career and business move. 

Eric Hunt is such a vibrant and dynamic instructor. I just completed the class this month of November. It was exciting and challenging. I had some trepidation on Saturday, feeling like I wanted to quit: am I worth it? am I good enough? can I do this? Will someone actually hire me? I realized that I just have to jump in with both feet and embrace this new adventure as I stepped out of my box, my comfort zone! As soon as I did that, the anxieties left and I had the most marvelous recording sessions. I tell you, I am so thankful I went through with this endeavor. I'm in the process of getting my home studio and marketing kit, and now I have so much to learn and look forward too. This class is well worth the time and money and I would recommend it highly!! 

Wow the Master Class was AWESOME! Eric Hunt did an excellent job making the class fun and very informative. I was in the Chicago class in October 2010 and I know I am on a new career path. Very excited to receive my demo's, which were put together very well. I even had someone review them that works with voice over artists and they thought I had done commercial work already. So fabulous job coaching Eric! VFA is a class act all the way around. Just installed Pro Tools and there is so much information on VFA's website to help get me started.

I recently took the Master Class as taught by Mike Elmore. This class gave me the information I need to get started in this industry. They gave me the information to set up my in home studio, and my marketing plan. Mike Elmore is one of the best in the voiceover business, and low and behold the man can teach! The class was fun and informative at the same time. They have coached me in how to do voiceovers of all different types, from narriative to commerical. I now have two fully producced professional demos to use. I feel as though I have the tools necessary, and the support I can count on to succed in this business thanks to my training in the Masters Class, and the resources you get as a graduate. Thanks Voicesforall.com! 

I attended the Master Class in Chicago last October. It was great, I had the greatest opportunities in my life to learn in detail about Voiceovers. VFA gave me enough tools to start my own bussiness. Eric Hunt our coach is a great professional. He knew how to take the best from my voice. I am glad I found them!!

I'm glad I got going in this field. The demos are great, the Master Class was cool (and Fun & Informative) and it was nice to get to know the class and the instructor as well. Thanks for your continuing support!

For those of you thinking about taking any course from this organization, and waffling about the cost, I can state first hand (Masters class graduate 11/8/10 - San Jose, Ca) that it was worth every cent, and then some. This is not a fly-by-night operation...far from it. They work with you every step of the way; from the moment I took the introductory course back in April, to this very day, the staff has been courteous

A couple of weeks ago, I took both of VFA's advanced workshops, in Characters and Audiobooks. As with my intro and master classes, I was impressed with both the content and the quality of the instruction. Both Eric (Characters) and Leah (Audiobooks) are top-notch teachers, and it's all of the little things they do when coaching us that makes the difference, in my opinion. Both are clearly passionate about their respective specialties, offer great insight into each field and are quick to point out both our performance strengths as well as areas where we can improve in our reads. I left this power weekend fired up for all of the possibilities in both the Characters and Audiobooks areas of voiceover. Of course, since it has taken me two weeks to make the time to write this testimonial, and since this was one of the first items on my post-workshops-light-a-fire-under-my-butt list of VO tasks to complete, it's clear that one of the key messages throughout all VFA courses – the need to be diligent and keep the momentum going in your VO career – is still relevant. For that reason, I'm also glad that all of the VFA instructors make themselves available and provide that extra level of support. I know that as I start working through my massive list of home studio, marketing and practicing tasks, exploring all of the opportunities in both Characters and Audiobooks, I'll be able to reach out to Eric and Leah for guidance, support – and even a constructive kick in the pants when I need it.

It has been a pleasure to start on my voiceover career path with Voices for All. They have quality people who are there to help you navigate the unknown, making you feel success is within your reach. Both the introductory instructor, Patrick, and the master class teacher, Mike, provided the information and motivation necessary to assist me getting where I want to go. My demos sound terrific and are wow-ing family and friends. I believe it’s only a matter of time before I’m writing again with a success update.

Last week I completed the Masters Class with Mike Elmore. Mike is a terrific instructor and the weekend went by quickly. There were points when I felt completely overwhelmed by all the information that was given but by the end of my recording session I felt confident about setting up my own business as a voice over artist. Thank you Voices for All and Mike for providing the opportunity to learn more about what is needed and to offer support for those ready to move forward in this field.

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.
