The Voices For All Master Class in NY was a tremendous learning experience for me. Even with many years of experience as a teacher and semi-professional actor, the coaching and direction that I received from Andrea Langworthy was invaluable. She is terrific. I also enjoyed the interaction with the other students in the class. The Master Class Workbook is a wonderful resource guide that is always there for you to use, and I will be referring to it often as I go about building a home business in this field. The dedicated staff at Voices For All is always there for help, too.
Stephen K. - PASeveral years ago, I decided I wanted to be "the voice on the tape" (dating myself, I know) but I didn't have a clue how to get started. Last Fall there was an "Introduction to Voice Overs" class at our local junior college and I immediately signed up. On the day of the class, we had a really bad wind storm and everything was flying. I lived over 40 miles away and didn't want to take the chance of finding me and my car in a ditch. FORTUNATELY, they were offering it again in the Spring. I got to go!!! Mike Elmore was great and gave me enough information to know I'd really like to go forward. I was offered a seat in the Masters Class and jumped at it. A little costly? Perhaps. Worth it? You bet!!! My thoughts? All I can say is "WOW!" John Pruden put out a ton of information in a short period of time! He's very sharp, intuitive, and knows how to get the best out of you... and teaches you to do the same. But even though the information well reached critical mass, it must have sunk in because when it came time to recording in the sound booth, it was natural place to be after a few minutes of nerves. Oh yes, credit needs to go to Andrea too. All the arrangements went smoothly (which seldom happens). I have to say that my "dance card" is a little full right now (and I do have to sleep sometime) but when it empties out a little bit, I'll be off and running with my new career. Thanks to all at Voices For All!!!!!
Linda L. - WAI experienced a fun filled and highly educational class. I looked foward to class each day. Our instructor, John, really knew his stuff and made our time pleasant.
The recording session was an education in itself. John knew how to bring out the best in my voice.
Thanks for the wonderful experience.
Richard R. - CAI attended the VFA Master Class in Chicago and was really blown away by the whole experience. John Pruden is very knowledgeable of the voice over industry and was a great coach; he did a tremendous job of bringing out the best in each of us, and he had very good instincts about matching each student to appropriate scripts for practice and the final recording session. And, speaking of the recording session, this was definitely the highlight of the entire class. I was a little apprehensive about how well that would go, after only a few days of training, but I was amazed at how relaxed and comfortable I was with it, thanks to John's preparation and coaching. I heartily recommend this class to anyone considering voice over as a career or even as a part-time endeavor. I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
Randy B. - MOI attended the Voices For All introductory class at a local community college and realized right away that a career in voice overs would be a great fit for me. I went home and signed up for the Master Class the next day, which also was phenomenal. I received great training from a voice over professional - the class was not only extremely informative, it was FUN, too! From the introductory course, to the Master Class and right through to the actual demo recording, the entire staff at Voices For All has been extremely professional and enjoyable to work and collaborate with. Thanks so much!
Katie O. - WAThank you, Voices For All Staff, for the GREAT weekend! It was informative and FUN! This was a wonderful start to a new career!
Lynn R. - MIJohn and the rest of the VFA team have given me the tools and support to succeed!
Nathan H. - MNThank you VFA Staff! The introductory class at a local University was fun and inviting, and the Master Class was Awesome! John was an incredible instructor, answering every question professionally and with great enthusiasm. The workbook is phenomonally thorough regarding all aspects of the business. The VFA staff support and encouragement before and after the class makes it all worth it! The education I have received from Voices For All will be the difference between sitting on the sidelines and getting in the game!
Crystal B. - OHA truly amazing experience...from the initial introductory class to the Master Class in Albany, NY. Not knowing what to expect, I was truly impressed with the professionalism and the wealth of knowledge made available in such a short time frame. Andrea was outstanding as the main instructor and the entire crew were helpful and friendly. And I have since found that true to their word, everyone is available for followup and instruction with every question that I have presented. I am thrilled with my demo and and very anxious to get my home studio set up. I thank everyone involved for their expertise, knowledge and in particular the ongoing followup.
Elise M. - FLSUCCESS UPDATE UPDATE: Paul, tell the gang I just nailed another VO. This time for a Nintendo video game!!!! I am the main character Margot of Margot's Word Brain. It's a hoot! I'm actually very excited about it, since the recording included narration for PC, PS2, WII, and DS systems. The folks are even going to send me a copy of the game (which will be a bit surreal, I'm thinking). As always, I appreciate your advice. Being able to tap your brain on occasion is one of the best parts of the VO Masterclass investment! Hope all is well with you. Thanks, as always, for your help! SUCCESS UPDATE: Hi guys! Wanted to let you know the latest...Todate, I've done on-hold messages for Madeira Station and the narration of flash presentations for several Glencoe/McGraw-Hill textbooks. Future ventures include more flash presentations for the educational industry (I've got about 20 more hours on the docket...ka-ching!), expanding within my hometown market, and even recording an album. Of course, I'm still trying to get in with the Big Leaguers on the national level and send my demo out to several job postings a week. Just last week, I received some very encouraging feedback from one potential client complimenting me on the demo (but alas, he opted to go with a male VO talent). VFA is AMAZING (kudos ESPECIALLY to Paul and John) and continues to be instrumental in the success of my VO career. Thanks as always, y'all! -Leah
Dear Stan, Andrea, Paul, Brett, John, Mike, Eric, & Levi... I just wanted to THANK YOU for such a great weekend of training. Because each of your backgrounds are so diverse, everyone at VFA had something a bit different to share. I really appreciate your willingness & enthusiasm in doing so. If only all my trainings could be filled with so much learning & laughter! I look forward to staying in touch with all of you as I develop my VO career. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, give me a ring! Happy to be known as a "100% Satisfied Customer".
Leah F. - OHThe class was everything I thought it would be. Not only did I gain valuable information, but also our class really bonded. It's nice to know you have support in this endeavor from everyone at Voices For All, to my new friends from class.
Kristine P. - PAI couldn't have asked for a better instructor or class to get started on the right foot for voice acting! Thank you John for all of your valuable input and support! After taking the Voices For All Master Class, I have a realistic expectation of what it takes to do this right and have a new found confidence that I can be a success in this business. Again Thank you!
Cheri M. - ORThe Master Class Weekend was a hoot! I had so much fun with Andrea and my fellow students. The recording session was the icing on the cake. Thanks for all of your direction and patience, Andrea!
Renee I. - CAWhen I first considered the Master class, I was a little shocked by the cost. Having attended it, I can say IT WAS WELL WORTH THE COST! If you are serious about becoming a voice artist, you must attend this class! It begins from the beginning, "I want to do voice over, now what?" and covers how to interpret and deliver scripts with the appropriate emotion, how to set up and run your own recording studio and how to market your business. If that isn't enough, you also receive two outstanding demos complete with direction and music! The two demos alone are worth the cost of the class! Also, my instructor, Andrea, was awesome! She was genuinely interested in your success and was a wealth of helpful information. Perhaps the most amazing thing about her was the fact that she always found something positive to say about your performance even when you were certain you completely bombed.
Any field you decide to undertake will require training in order to excel. The Master's Class is a necessary training investment for anyone who is serious about becoming a voice artist.
Von G. - NJAll the VFA staff are really dedicated professionals. They are great sources of information and seem to want all their students to succeed. Even when they are getting daily emails asking for advice they take the time to answer and be helpful. The Master Class is packed with good info but there is still a LOT to do before we are ready to start recording in our home studios! Expect to put in plenty of time in the weeks following the class getting your marketing materials, software and equipment together. It is somewhat daunting but with staff's assistance, it can be done and I think the rewards will be excellent down the road. I look forward to that!
