VOICEOVER COACHING

Find your unique voice

After many years as both a voice talent and a director, I have learned that every person with talent is unique. So every person with talent deserves a coach who understands the unique nature of that talent. I offer a two-step approach: first, discover what works for you and help you do more of it. Second, find out how your talent relates to what the industry wants. By matching your talent to the market, you'll maximize your chances of success.

YOUR FIRST VO DEMO

There are lots of good options for helping you to put together your first voiceover demo. And there are lots more that are not so good. It helps to determine exactly what the purpose of an initial demo is so you don’t waste time and money.

One-on-one coching is the best path to getting the perfect demo.

Remote Coaching: Professional, thorough, completely personal.

If you are currently limiting your contact with the public, I offer private coaching online. It's not mandatory for you to have a home studio, just an ability to connect via Zoom or Skype. We can work together remotely up to the point where your demo is produced. For the demo we will need studio-quality audio. We can discuss this at the time it is needed.

Group voiceover classes are a dynamic way to explore your full talents.

Jim has been the voice talent for commercials, corporate imaging, narration and information.
