Other Voice Acting workshops can be
half the time and twice the price!
 There are many excellent one-day and two-day voiceover workshops to chose from - and some of them are VERY expensive. By the time you add travel expenses, hotel accommodations, food, and Internet access to the workshop tuition, you can be spending several thousand dollars. And that’s just for one or two days of a workshop that might be mostly lecture!
The Art of Voice Acting 3-Day Intensive is 3 days of intensive coaching and development of your performing and business skills. It’s expected that you already know the basics, so Jim and Penny won’t even go there! Instead, they'll focus on coaching you to become the best you can be as a voice talent and voiceover business person.
If you’re working in a specific area of voiceover, or preparing for your demo, bring some copy and discover new ways to bring those words to life.
If you’re having problems with your recording technique or equipment, come with your questions and be prepared to get the answers you need.
If you’re facing challenges dealing with clients, submitting auditions, or setting your fees, you’ll get tons of new ideas and techniques you can put to use right away.
You’ll be working on your craft and business for THREE VERY FULL DAYS! You’ll discover things about your performing abilities and what you need to do to make your voiceover business successful that you won’t get anywhere else!
Here’s just some of what you'll get in this jam-packed 3-Day Voiceover Intensive:
- Review of the 7 Core Elements of Performance
- "Tell me, Don't Sell me!" The Art of a Conversational Read
- Mastering techniques for effective self-direction
- Fast-paced, intensive personalized on-mic coaching
- Audition tips and tricks
- Microphone techniques
- Creating and developing believable core characters for commercial, narration, and animation
- Finding unique copy for your demo
- Designing tour voiceover career and business plan
- “Mastermind Sessions” for taking your marketing materials to the next level.
- Mastering the "cold" read
- "Down and dirty," honest demo & marketing evaluations
- How to negotiate your fees and get the $$$ you're worth
- How to record and submit killer auditions on-line
- How to "Tune-up" your home or portable studio (bring your laptop and we'll show you how)
- And LOTS more!
I've read enough! Take me to registration now!
We want you to succeed!
You'll leave exhausted - but you'll also leave with dozens of new skills to make your VO career SOAR! Our goal is that, by the end of these three days, your performing skills will be sharpened, you will know how to deliver professional auditions and voice tracks, and you will have a sharp focus on what you need to do to build your voiceover career.
With most voiceover workshops, once you leave... you’re on your own! Not so with the Art of Voice Acting 3-Day Intensive!
A little over a week after the AOVA 3-Day Intensive, you’ll participate in a special follow-up conference call to get your questions answered and help you stay on track to develop your voiceover performing and business skills.
"The Art of Voice Acting - 3rd Edition" (white cover) by James R. Alburger is required reading for this 3-Day Intensive. Since this is NOT the usual AOVA introductory Weekend Workshop, you'll need to be familiar with the concepts, techniques, and methods in James' book in order to take full advantage of this training. You can purchase an autographed copy HERE.

 Learn From Two of America's Top Coaches!
James Alburger & Penny Abshire have become well known for their 7 Core Elements of Performing and their books are considered by many to be the “bibles” of the industry. Their encouraging and supportive coaching style has gained them recognition as two of the top voiceover coaches in America!
They are also co-producers of the VoiceOver International Creative Experience (VOICE) - an annual conference exclusively for voiceover professionals around the world.

In just three days, you'll learn dozens of performing techniques and "tricks-of-the-trade" you won't find anywhere else!

This formidable team of James Alburger & Penny Abshire will show you how to take ANY script, and within minutes, perform that script with a powerful interpretation, characterization, and delivery to effectively communicate its message.
San Diego September 3-day Intensive survivors!
In September, twenty aspiring and professional voice talent arrived in San Diego for three days of coaching and hard work to develop their voiceover talent and business. Here are some of their comments:
This was one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had as a voice actor! I work in Spanish, but all the concepts can be applied to improve your work no matter in which language you perform.

 Watching you both work with each different person and give direction and coaching was my favorite part! There are so many things I’ll eventually do and this covered LOTS of it by way of everyone’s mic time. Penny and James are fantastic instructors. I enjoyed their natural style and their flow complimented each other’s information. Very easy to listen to and learn from! This was a real bargain! I don’t know how you keep it this affordable - but I’m glad you do!

 You guys are awesome! I enjoyed the time spent on conducting the business of VO. I learned (again) about approaching copy and making choices. This was definitely worth the time! and money! You two run a tight show - not much time wasted!

I really want to be there! Take me to registration now!
 This was awesome! Just a great emphasis on acting, character development, etc. I feel this intensive workshop took me well beyond being a “reader” and into the realm of being a true voice actor!

 This experience has been both grueling and exhilarating. The characters I didn’t even know were inside were brought out by the strong and positive coaching of James and Penny. I was given permission to act totally foolish, taking the chance of completely falling on my face, and having it be OK. In fact - it was the best performance ever! I would recommend The Art of Voice Acting 3-day Intensive workshop to anyone interested in voiceover. If you want to communicate better, be a stronger actor, or be introduced to all those interesting characters inside you, this workshop is definitely the way to go, and worth every “Penny” and every minute invested.
Daniel Wallace
Grants Pass, OR
 I got MORE than my money’s worth from this workshop! The course is precisely the “jump-start” needed for me to begin a new career after my retirement from the Navy. It also gave me what I needed to shed the stern attitude that came from many years working as a Navy SEAL and in the military intelligence community. On a scale of 1 to 10 - I give this workshop a 15!

 This visit to San Diego has been a most enjoyable experience. You were right! My head hurts from knowledge stuffing! So many aspects of this industry have been thrust upon us; the exposure has been a tremendous enlightenment. What a shot in the arm! The networking is also very valuable, and the camaraderie is a welcome side effect.
Jay Elzweig
Northport, NY
 What an amazing and inspiring 3 days! While the days were long, there was never a dull moment. The spirit and camaraderie of the group was the most valuable. Next was the coaching and direction from James and Penny. They were very supportive and encouraging. I have taken a number of VO classes and this one was by far the best!
Rich Owen
Voice Actor, Bakersfield, CA
 I am so blessed to have taken this course. James, Penny, and their staff were all warm and welcoming. I especially appreciated Jim and Penny’s willingness to share knowledge and information. I also thought that the skill with which Jim and Penny provide feedback and direction does much to promote the growth of participants’ ability to learn, grow, and be nurtured. Thanks for helping me to more fully understand and appreciate the art and business of voice acting. You all have made a friend for life!
Darrell Simmons
Stafford, TX
 The levels of learning are indescribable at this point because there is so much, so many layers to be absorbed at the conscious and unconscious levels. The experience of being with other voice actors was fantastic, knowing others to keep in contact with and meeting James and Penny in person gave me a sense of validation: I’m not crazy for pursuing this, of course with hard work. The hands-on experience is invaluable. I had a good amount of book knowledge - read all the VO books, get all the newsletters - but how to apply it all - to see the application of the information was like a light bulb turning on and made me hungry for more! Penny and James connect the dots.
