Hi Leah, I'm about to start my second audiobook. Just wanted you to know. Thanks for all your help, both in class and the very thorough notes you provided during the production of Dangerous Diplomacy. I think it would be impossible to overestimate how much your advice continues to serve me. Thanks a lot!
I had tried a voice over career several years ago and basically floundered. I attended an Intro to Voice Over session at my local communiversity, reviewed the program with the nice gentleman from VFA who contacted me, and decided that this program offered me the structure, tools and support I need. Mike Elmore, my coach, was professional, helpful and lots of fun to work with. I appreciate the resources available on the web site as well as the home studio support. I have recommended this program to a couple of my friends who have expressed an interest in the field. I'm looking forward to a new career and getting to know more of the VFA crew.
SUCCESS UPDATE: I was so thrilled to get my first VO job through Voices.com. It was a very easy process and a fun recording to make. I got hired by an advertising agency in Kingston, Jamaica to record PA announcements for a big launch party for LIME. LIME is a cable TV, broadband, telephone and wireless company that serves the British islands in the Caribbean. Tonight, my voice will be played for guests at the big event, which will be aired on four Jamaican TV stations and on Facebook. I got great feedback from the client: “A pleasure working with her, super professional, amazing voice, very, very efficient!” This is great motivation to get out there and look for more work! Thanks VFA for helping me get started!
HI VFA folks! Thanks for getting me started in the world of voice-overs! I just completed my first job! My local marketing is just getting underway. Your Master class and all the support from your staff has really given me the tools to get the job done. I am very excited to be working with my equipment, successfully auditioning for jobs and now completing projects! Your staff is so helpful and supportive. It's been a very positive experience! Thanks so much...
I am very impressed with the quality of the education process by VFA. The Master Class was both enjoyable as well as very intense, with a lot of information imparted in a very short period of time. The class size allowed a lot of one on one answering of questions and satisfaction of curiosity as well as ensuring the critical information was given and understood. The Studio time was intimidating for a "first timer", but Eric made me feel comfortable and even encouraged some ad lib and joking that made it thoroughly enjoyable. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough for those who are committed to a career in the Voice-Over industry. Thanks again, Mike Ediger
Voices for All initially presented the offer of placement in the Master Class to me in 2011, and although I was a tentative about taking the class, I ultimately decided to commit to attending. I believe as an artist that I owed it to myself and my craft to educate further as to technique and technology so that I could more effectively market my talents and utilize them to their fullest. I was not disappointed. The staff was considerate and accommodating. The instructors were well-seasoned professionals who considered each participant's individual strengths and unique talents. Scripts were carefully selected for demo production with the vocal quality and marketability of each student obviously guiding their selections. Friendships were forged, quality literature encompassing production tools and equipment to breathing techniques and speech/diction exercises provided. The final day included recording a state-of-the-art studio quality demo, personally produced, directed and edited by veteran voice-over artist and technician, Eric Hunt. The entire experience was treated with the appropriate level of importance and priority, while offering an inviting and entertaining atmosphere. For anyone already working as a voice over professional, or someone who is seriously considering voice over as a career, this class is a must! Thank you, Voices for All! David Brown
I am now in my second year of doing VO work and I have been busy. I have VFA to thank for everything that I have been given in regards to the tools that I now have to be doing what I love. I have had many jobs over the last 17 months and have just completed my largest profile job yet. Thanks again VFA!!! -Aaron Fischer www.neverendingvoices.com
With a little prompting from my wife I found VFA via a learning institution located in the city I live. This institution was offering an intro to voiceovers through VFA. I must admit that at first I was skeptical. But perhaps I should preface that remark by informing that I’m currently a law enforcement officer and after 15 years of LE, being a skeptic is somewhat second nature. After doing some research and then attending and completing the online master class, my skepticism has subsided. VFA is not a get rich quick scam and my instructor, Mike Elmore was more than insightful about the world of voiceovers. Now that I have some of the basic tools under my belt I look forward to getting started with the next chapter of my life. I might not ever be rich or famous from my voiceover career, but that’s ok. What counts is I’m following a dream and goal, which I have wanted to do for a long time. One of the best lessons I took from the class (Not in the workbooks but what I realized along the way.) is that if I fail at this goal and if my dream does not come to fruition, it is no ones fault but mine.
Voices for All has given me the opportunity to do some things that I didn't think possible - voice over acting, being my own business owner and working from home. From my Intro Class with Bob Putoff to the followup call with Sherrill Stewart and then to my recent online Master Classes with Eric Hunt - every person was friendly, genuine, knowledgable, encouraging and instructive. My classes with Eric were all done through Skype, but it was as if we were in the same room. He gave me great coaching and direction, for not only my voice acting, but also for starting up my business. I can't wait to continue on this journey of recording my demos and setting up my home studio. I trust that Voices For All will be with me every step of the way!
