Wow...Seems to be the word to sum up my experience with the Master Class. Eric Hunt, with all his personal, professional experience, made our class not only full of learning and motivation, but fun too. Thank you for enabling this "senior" to continue moving on with new adventures! Sandy J. - FL |

SUCCESS UPDATE: Well, I guess I am now officially a voice over person. Not too long ago I finished the Powerpoint presentation for Florock products. 54 slides, and a happy customer. Sent off the invoice, and just waiting for the check. I really had fun doing it, and am looking forward to other projects, although they're hard to come by. I do want to thank you, Eric, and VFA for the education and help in getting this launched. Bob R. - IL |

If you're reading this, you're more than likely, trying to make the decision to take the VFA classes. My advice to you: DO IT! Stop thinking about it and DO IT! You are in great hands with the people at the home office and the coaches out in the field. I took the intro class and met Mike Elmore. A couple of days later I got a call from VFA inviting me to the Master Class. I'm telling you, it was the best thing I have ever done. Look, they have a vested interest in having you succeed. On top of that, even after the classes end, they are still there to help you in whatever you need to become a success. These people are pros. They know whether you have THAT skill or not. The Masters Class takes you step by step on how to do everything. From how to read a script to getting paid for reading that script. It's all there. Business plan, marketing, demos, recording, all of the how to's you need. What's great? If you have more questions down the road there is always someone there to help you out. I took my Master Class in Dec. of 2010, it is now Sept. of 2011. It took me a while to get everything in place, but I can happily say I'm busy, having a lot of fun and making a decent living doing it! Mike Elmore has been the biggest help through all of this as I'm sure your coach will be too. If it wasn't for him I would not be writing this today. His patience and direction gave me the confidence I needed, when I needed it. In the last 3 months, I've booked jobs from Kobalt Tools to Ford Explorer, Movie Trailers, Radio ads, Product demos, Corporate identities and a lot more. Look, they can show you how to be successful, but it's up to you. Like anything else, the more you put in to it, the more you're going to get out of it. Thank you VFA and a big THANK YOU to Mike Elmore extraordinaire. DO IT, I'm telling you, just DO IT! Matt M. - WA |

SUCCESS UPDATE: I was speaking with an attorney, who was helping me with some legal issues, and told him I was working on getting voiceover work. He said he knew the CEO of an agency in San Francisco and wrote an email introduction to her about me. I then filed my headshot, VO demo and resume. Was called to do an audition - which I felt I had blown, but apparently had not. So don't judge yourself, we are usually our own worst critics! Then called in last week for an interview and contract. This agency was founded 25 years ago by an actress and now employees her son and daughter. They have film and voice over studios in their offices. They are a respected agency in the SF bay area. I hope to get some acting and/or VO work with them and will keep you posted as to what I do land. It is difficult to get picked up by any agency in the area so - it's all about relationships!! My experience with my VFA class was wonderful. I received more direction and guidance that I have in any other performance class I have taken. Eric knew how to draw out of me the best that I could give with his patience and clear explicit instructions and guidance. The taping of the demo was a great experience and best of all, FUN! I am so glad I took this class and have greatly benefited from it. I am looking forward to taking the character development class in the near future. Please continue to keep giving classes and supporting us, Voices for All. Mary Ann M. - CA |

SUCCESS UPDATE: It's been an exciting year for me as I have launched my home voiceover recording services business. After taking the VFA Masters Class this past summer, I started to lay the ground work for my home business. I made some major acoustic improvements to my home studio, established a DBA, and launched my business website (link). I have attended a few local Chamber of Commerce meetings where I have established a few promising connections who are interested in partering with me. For example, someone who has a video production company, but often seeks voiceover talent to complement his video content. I also joined Voices.com and was awarded my first job. It was a simple, corporate outgoing phone message. I've been getting a lot of experience there with the audition process. 2011 was very foundational for me and I expect to grow this as we head into 2012. Thanks to the VFA team for the support with this new phase of my life. I've had a passion for Radio/TV and audio recording ever since I was old enough to hold a microphone. But for much of my life, it remained only a hobby of mine because I never knew how to make a go of it in the business. After attending the VFA intro class at a community college earlier this year, I was convinced that I had to take it one step further. So I enrolled in the VFA Masters class that was offered in Chicago this summer. It was an amazing experience! It was a fast-paced, challenging, and rewarding weekend. Eric Hunt was an amazing coach and he brought the best out of every member of the class. The in-class exercises were fun and invigorating and by the time the weekend was over, I was ready for the demo recording session. I was extremely happy with the end product of my demos. I feel like I have the tools, the support, and a solid foundation upon which to build my VO recording business. Thank you VFA! Chris B. - IL |
