Innovative Voiceover Instruction

The Innovative Voiceover Instruction Program

Our unique training and support program is designed to encompass the full spectrum of talent needs to ensure students receive the coaching required to hone their delivery along with business, marketing and technical development training and career support to assist them with the daily operation of their personal voiceover businesses. Selected students work closely with an experienced coach and industry insider while receiving support from other group members in a collaborative, team-effort learning environment as opposed to a static classroom or seminar setting. In order to assure the most personal attention is given to each member there is a strict cap on group size.

Group Teleconferences

One hour group teleconference training sessions take place each Saturday afternoon:

● Any time sensitive or emergency situations affecting group members are addressed first.
● General questions and concerns arising from student’s personal careers are then discussed within the group and with the instructor.
● Comprehensive training of varying aspects of the voiceover business are taught by the instructor each week. These lessons are designed to eventually give students a full and broad understanding of the business and what is expected to succeed.
● Students are encouraged to read recent audition or potential demo copy for group evaluation and delivery technique correction.
● By combining the message boards and teleconferences students are able to receive not just the training needed to further their careers but on-the-job support and mentoring as working or aspiring talent.

Group Message Boards

All students have unlimited access to our monitored private group message boards giving members around the clock training and support:

● Boards are monitored throughout the day by support staff.
● Students who have a pressing problem with a client, a technical issue or other concern will receive nearly immediate attention from the instructor and other group members.
● Talent may also post general questions or concerns to be discussed and addressed on the boards.
● Students are able to upload demos or recent auditions for professional evaluation and constructive critique.
● Students are able to tailor the program to their needs by suggesting topics for upcoming weekly teleseminars.
● Students are able to prepare for future inevitabilities in their own careers by learning from the solutions provided for others experiencing the same situations now.
● This level of support is unprecedented in the traditional world of voiceover coaching and is available only with the Innovative Voiceover Instruction training and support program.
