Who this course is for:
- Voice artists who want to improve their craft
- Voice artists who want to produce high quality audio recordings
What you’ll learn:Â
- How to record a voice over that sound 10x better than the rest
- Produce professional, high quality voice overs
- How to cut the entire recording/processing process in half the time
- Get an amazing sound with editing and mixing
- How to make money as a voice over talent for films, audio books, presentations, informational videos and more
- How to use high end equipment and hardware to get the best sound possible
- Professional mixing techniques
Improve the quality of your voice overs to get more clients, make more sales or grow your audience.
High quality = instant trust from the viewer/listener/client.
In this course, you will learn advanced voice over tips and techniques, and strategies that will put you ahead of the competition.
These are the exact same systems and techniques that professional engineers use to produce broadcast and film quality voice overs.
Not only that, but using the techniques that you will develop in this course, you can produce the best voice over materials every time (without fail) and in half the time.
Imagine that feeling when your voice not only sounds great, but it also takes you no time at all!
If you have recorded voice before and have a basic grasp of microphones, computer recording and editing, EQ and compression, then this course is for you. It’s also the perfect follow up course for students who have completed Record Voice Like A Pro: The Complete Guide.
This course is NOT for absolute beginners. It’s not for people who have never recorded voice before. Not for people who don’t have an awareness of the different types of microphone. Not for people who don’t understand what EQ, editing and compression are.
This course is also not for people who want someone else to do the work for them. This course is not for lazy people!
It will require some active listening and practice on your part.
But with me guiding you along the way, it will be easy. You can become a voice recording expert in a fraction of the time that it usually takes.
Ask yourself – how much is your time worth?
The voice mixing process alone would take you over 200 hours to develop and figure out yourself.
Don’t get me wrong, you could figure all of this out yourself the hard way. Most people do.
Or you could take this shortcut and start putting out great voice overs sooner by avoiding all of the mistakes I’ve made.
You clicked on to this course (and you’ve read this far), so you’re obviously the kind of person that this course is made for: people that care about high quality and are going out of their way to pursue it.
This course is a no-brainer if you want to:
- Record voice overs that sound 10x better than the rest
- Avoid that frustrated feeling you get every time something goes wrong or your voice over doesn’t sound good (and you just can’t figure out why)
- Get an edge of the competition by producing professional, high quality voice overs
- Cut the entire recording/processing process in half by using my proven techniques and systems for increased efficiency
- Get an amazing sound at the source that you can sculpt to perfection with editing and mixing (rather than spending all your time just trying to fix it)
- Make money as a voice over talent for films, audio books, presentations, informational videos and more (it’s quite achievable to earn $70+ per hour on UpWork or a similar outsourcing website – take a look for yourself, just search ‘voice over’)
- Turn your normal recording location into a professional voice over studio.
- Learn how to use high end equipment and hardware to get the best sound possible
- Discover the secrets to professional quality voice overs, such as gain staging, parallel processing, advanced compression, subtractive EQ, limiting and more.
- Take yourself to the next level in voice over quality in the shortest time possible
- Build upon your current knowledge about voice recording and get out the rut that you’re stuck in (you’re limited by your own knowledge and lack of awareness of professional mixing techniques)
All of this and more is covered over the four main sections of the course: Equipment, Recording, Editing and Mixing.
Remember, not only will you get access to a great course that will teach what you absolutely need to know about recording voice, but it will also give you the momentum you desperately need to improve your voice overs, get more clients, make more sales or get more views.

I’ve worked in a range of recording studios, live venues and film sets as both a musician and sound technician. I have also worked in numerous large venues as an audio-visual engineer and lighting designer.
I’ve worked with (and been taught by) boom operators and sound recordists that have worked on large budget feature films (such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Clash of the Titans, Layer Cake, Shaun of the Dead, World War Z) and popular TV shows (such as Ricky Gervais’ Extras and Gavin & Stacey). They, in turn, learned from some of the top Hollywood sound guys and legends!
I now spend most of my teaching and freelancing from my home studio in London, England.
I currently hold a First Class BSc Degree in Audio Design and Production from the University of Kent and I’m an Avid Certified Pro Tools 11 User.

Absolutely exceptional.
This is the audio course I was looking for, while it doesn’t cover my DAW (Adobe Audition) the fundamental principles all translate over, and I learned a huge amount by following along and finding my way to do the same things.
This course took me several days to complete because of just how much there is to learn and expand here: I took 10 pages of A4 notes in a Google Docs doc from this, and they are going to absolutely invaluable to me going forwards.
Already the audio tracks I’ve produced while following this course sound 10x better than what I was making before.
100% recommend to everyone!
Great New Tips and Tricks
I’ve had to work on a lot of Audio and while some of this information came as a welcomed refresher, much of it was very new and eye opening. My usage of gating and EQ definitely looks sloppy by comparison. Thanks!
Great
A lot of Good information and tips
I haven’t completed the course yet but I’ve been very impressed. There’s a lot of good information here (be sure to take notes). I appreciate his teaching style and that he breaks everything down, then shows you how to put it all together.
An absolute must for voice over artists!
After learning what I have from this course and applying it to my latest auditions, I’m embarrassed when I hear my older ones now! The difference is night and day. Everything Rob taught in this course helped really provide the whole picture. Trying to see the whole picture from piecemeal searches and video from the internet just don’t provide the comprehensive picture that Rob provides. I can’t recommend this class enough! Thanks Rob! Great course!
