I'm a friendly, professional voice actor and music producer with a natural, surfer-guy-next-door sound. I've worked on projects for EA, Sony, and many local businesses. I've produced reference tracks and original music to accompany voiceovers, promos, and trailers as well. I'd love to discuss your next project with you!

    Voice Over for Beginners

    4.0

    Having taken several classes and prior coaching, I greatly appreciated the class. the first couple of modules were basic and familiar. If you have never taken any classes or coaching, I would give this a 5. Having had previous classes and coaching, it wasn’t until I got to the 4th module before picking up the information I needed and was looking for. I would have hoped for some more resources dealing with selecting copy for demos, things to look for in figuring out talent and market, things to look for in additional training and coaching, a range to be aware of in demo recording and some more options in not just networking but resources and materials. The modules themselves were very short. For the listed price, I would have hoped for another 5-10 minutes per module. I think this is a phenomenal course for a person who has no prior experience or training. Personally I DID like this course and it became more helpful as I continued the class. I just would have liked more specific resources and direction.
