VOICEOVER COACHING
Frequently Asked Questions
What level of students do you coach?
|
I work with beginners through advanced voice actors. The scripts, topics, and exercises we cover will be geared toward your strengths, weaknesses, and specific goals.
|
How do you work with beginners?
|
I specialize in helping beginners build a foundation in voiceover technique. Depending on interest, we can cover a variety of genres including commercials, corporate narration, documentary, eLearning, and telephony. And I'm always happy to throw in some cartoon or video game scripts for fun!
|
Can you train my L&D team in voiceover?
|
Yes. I am happy to create a class for your instructional designers and training developers. A typical workshop includes an explanation of a few key tools for better voice acting, practice in small groups, feedback for each individual, ear training, and homework. To set up a workshop, please email me: [email protected]

Did I hear you specialize in Medical, eLearning, and Corporate?

Yes I do. I help intermediate and advanced students refine their skills, and target their marketing, so that they can land more voiceover jobs in the Medical/Healthcare, eLearning, and Corporate sectors.

How do I know if coaching is right for me?
|
Book a Complimentary 30-minute Sample Coaching over Zoom. In this session, we will get to know each other, and go through a couple of scripts I send to you in advance. The more information you include in your booking questionnaire on Calendly, the better I can tailor these scripts to your interests.
|
How long are sessions, and how much do they cost?
|
Coaching sessions run for 1 hour 15 minutes. Each session costs $150. Once your session is scheduled, I will send you an email with an invoice. Payment is due on the day of your coaching.
|
How do I book a 75-minute session?
|
Please send me an email with 3 times that work for you (don't forget to include your time zone). I'll confirm one of the times and send a Zoom invite for the session. Please email: [email protected].

What is a coaching session like?
|
I will email you 3-4 scripts for you to prepare beforehand. I may also ask you to record one of the scripts prior to our session, so we can listen to it together and see if there's anything about your audio quality that needs addressing.
In the Zoom session I will ask you to perform a script, and then we'll identify a skill or two that you can work on in that piece. Most likely, we'll pull the script apart, and practice skills on just one or two sentences until you can sense a difference between your first take, and your improved later takes. Then we'll move on to a new script for more fun and discovery. Typically, students read 2-4 scripts in a session, and come away with having practiced the more skillful version of their read several times, so that they feel empowered to practice those skills on their own. After the session, I will email you a copy of my notes from our coaching, as well as recommended homework geared towards your personal goals and skill-building path. |
