I wish I’d taken this course 3 years ago! It gave me so much more clarity in what I offer, how I can help my clients, and who I should target. I so loved the opportunity to brainstorm everyone’s mission statements, business names and tag lines!
     Marion McFall, Edmonton, AL Canada

This was an unbelievable value! There was a tremendous amount of information to absorb, but Jim and Penny made it very easy. Both were outstanding instructors and worked well together. The program was very flexible and ALL questions were answered and were done so without scrimping on time or rushing us. I would recommend VoiceActing Academy without reservation!!!

I used to play with the nuts & bolts. Now I know how to put them together and build something! Thank you so much for a class like this and for the way you present the material.

The VoiceActing Academy Masters Class
is a comprehensive 3-Day VO workshop
taught by James Alburger. . .
and it's not for the faint of heart!

If you are serious about your voiceover career, this 3-Day Masters Class is designed for you! In order to provide the best, most productive experience for each participant, we limit attendance to a maximum of 20 participants.

Imagine how your voiceover skills and business knowledge will improve with 3 days of immersion coaching and business development.

When we say “immersion,”
we mean it!!!

This 3-Day Masters Class is designed to take your voiceover business skills to the next level... whatever that may be for you. There is less lecture and more hands-on, focused, work with you and James. You’ll get the workout of your life as you participate in mastermind and brainstorming sessions designed to develop or improve critical business skills. Everything about these three intensive days is designed to take your voiceover work to at least the next level... if not higher!

Beginners will be pushed to develop their VO business skills more rapidly and professionals will gain new insights and discover new opportunities to polish their business, and marketing skills.

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.
     Samuel Albis, Los  Angeles, CA - Spanish language voice talent

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. 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!

• Dealing with your recording environment - fixing acoustic problems
• "Down and dirty," honest demo & marketing evaluations
• And LOTS more!

We want you to succeed!

Believe it or not... there are actually some VO coaches who really don’t want you to succeed. Some of them are just out for your money and others will actually sabotage you or kill your dream by being “brutally honest.” What that often really means is that they will only give you one, very narrow, perspective on what it takes to succeed in voiceover - often from only the point of view of the market they work in, which may have no relevance to what you want to do. They may not take the time to allow you to discover your niche or explore your abilities, and they’ll often base their judgment of your “talent” solely on what they hear from your performance of a single script. Or worse... they'll give you enough encouraging coaching during a workshop to keep you interested, and at the end, they'll upsell you to a demo production session long before you are ready to take that step.

At the VoiceActing Academy 3-Day Masters Class you’ll focus on finding your niche. You’ll work with your peers to hone your business skills. And you’ll get highly personalized coaching and direction from  James Alburger.

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, you will have a laser-sharp focus on what you need to do to build your voiceover business and create lasting relationships with your clients. You will know where you fit in the world of voiceover.

Personalized follow-up coaching

With most voiceover workshops, once you leave... you’re on your own! Not so with the VoiceActing Academy 3-Day Masters Class!

A little over a week after the VoiceActing Academy 3-Day Intensive, you’ll participate in a special follow-up video conference to get your questions answered and help you stay on track to develop your voiceover performing and business skills. Plus, you can schedule a private 60-minute consultation with James any time during the 90 days following this event.

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.

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!
     Debra Cole  -  Professional voice actor, Pflugerville, TX

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!
     Jason Clark  -  Henderson, NV

You’ve been there... and you’ve done that!

By the time you’re ready to take our VoiceActing Academy Masters class, you will have already attended several other voiceover events and possibly even one or more of our VOICE conferences. Most voiceover workshops focus on performing skills with a smattering of the business thrown in for good measure.

As much fun as those workshops might be, they’ll only get you so far! Granted, there are many excellent one-day and two-day voiceover workshops to chose from - and their prices run the gamut from very cheap to 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 VoiceActing Academy Masters Class
is different!

This is 3 days of immersion coaching that focuses on developing your business skills. We expect that you already know the basics of performing, so we hardly even go there! Instead, we'll focus on coaching you to become the best you can be as a voice talent and voiceover business person.

But don’t get us wrong! Your performing skills are critical to your voiceover success. After all, you’re a voice actor because you love to perform! So there are a few things we’ll cover on the performing side of your business - but we simply won’t be able to spend a lot of time on performance:

•  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’ve got a demo... bring it for a comprehensive critique and renovation.
• 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.
• And... time permitting... there may be some opportunities for on-mic coaching.
