SUCCESS UPDATE: Hey Leah...I did it!! Got my first gig recording a couple of voicemails (in-house and after hours) for a local digital marketing firm. Upwork client did not post a script, so I submitted a voicemail greeting that I had from a previous unsuccessful proposal. Client liked my voice, sent me their scripts, and hired me before hearing a sample. I delivered their audios the next day, they gave me a great review, and they are interested in hiring me for some upcoming animated videos! Been regularly auditioning for work on Voices, and while I haven't scored a gig yet, I am getting likes! Positive reinforcement goes a long way! Thanks for all you've taught me (so far...) and thanks VFA!
Have you ever heard a VOICE in your head that said, "I've always wanted to try my hand at voiceovers"? Next time, say it out loud with Voices For All! I finally listed to that voice, and after my Intro Class with Aaron, whose enthusiasm and talent really fueled my interest, I could not wait to start the Master Classes! Master Classes with Leah were inspirational; her talent and experience, as well as her innate ability as an instructor, brought out more ability in me than I initially thought I had. Her guidance in the technique and business side of voiceovers was invaluable, and as importantly, she became a friend - I always looked forward to our Friday afternoon sessions. My conversations with Sherril were always informative, her enthusiasm and ability to be "the answer grape" were greatly appreciated. Kristie's attention to detail was always evident in the assistance she provided. The task at hand is auditioning, and I feel that my experience with Voices For All has prepared me well. Thank you!
I have really enjoyed my Master Class experience through Voices For All! The professionals I have met and worked with have been top notch. Jeff showed such patience as my tech adviser. Technology is not my strong suit yet he was able to help me get my equipment set up and taught me how to use Pro Tools. Trust me, this was no small accomplishment! My husband and sons listen to me discuss my equipment and Pro Tools with a sense of wonder. Jeff frequently got me back on track when things went awry. Lori is an awesome professional, instructor, and all around beautiful person. I have learned so much. Thank you all for a great experience.
Great experience. Mike Elmore was awesome and I look forward to working with the VFA team in the future. I am up and running now, submitting for jobs almost everyday. If you're looking to get a jumpstart on your future career or "side hustle" this can be it.
I have recently completed the VFA Gold Class which I found thoroughly stimulating. From my very first contact with VFA representatives I have found your organization and staff to be highly supportive and professional. Having first considered voiceover work some 25 years ago (and having been quickly discouraged by the seeming impossibility of breaking into this field), it is clear that your organized educational component, professional coaching and ability to supply equipment, software, demo tapes and the essential "how to" information to get started has been the missing ingredient. A special thanks also to my coach Aaron Fischer for his insights, good humor and flexibility in scheduling our sessions. Now, as they say, the rest is up to me. When I begin soliciting voice work, I'll certainly be sharing any success stories with VFA! Best regards, Howard Bodner
Voices For All, is an excellent resource and a good introduction to the voice over industry. The LOMC gold class specifically, will help you get your feet wet with the most commercial and narration training and marketing education! It will also equip you with the hardware and software you need to succeed! You will also get access to resources that will help you find work, and not to mention a lifetime of advice! Everyone I've talked to at VFA is warm and helpful! If you are looking for an exciting career in voice overs, it starts here! Things you need to know up front: You will be responsible for building your own studio, this cost is not included in your class. If you want to specialize in a particular niche of voice over work, it will require more education and training beyond your LOMC Master Class.
Taking the Master Classes with Voices for All was one of the best experiences of my life. Aaron Fischer, my teacher for these classes, is an incredible voice talent and a great teacher. I not only received excellent vocal training, I learned how to build a professional home studio and how to market myself effectively as a voice actor. There is a lot to know, but Voices for All is the place for voice over education and I'm so happy to be a lifetime member of this organization. I'm so excited to be launching my career in voice overs and I can't wait to take more advanced classes with VFA in the future. I can't recommend it enough. Their classes are the best.
Mike Elmore has been my instructor over the 27 weeks that I have enrolled in the VFA school. Mike has been extremely professional, patient, well informed, helpful, prompt, thorough, knowledgeable, positive, uplifting and an all around cheerful teacher and overall good guy. I would highly recommend Mike and would hope to deal with him when I need support and advice. Best in show!
