Have you ever wanted to be the voice everyone hears on TV and radio commercials, or documentary or audiobook narrations? You too can become a professional voiceover artist! This fun, informative, and empowering class will teach you the basics of the voiceover industry to help you decide if it is something you'd like to pursue.

We will discuss the many different types of voiceovers and what it takes to get started as a voice actor. Your voice will be recorded as you read from real scripts so you can receive a professional voice evaluation later.

In this two-hour introductory workshop, you will learn what it takes to become a part of this fun and exciting industry. Be warned, many who have taken this class have gone on to become real, bona-fide, professional voice actors. Come ready to laugh, learn, and be inspired.

This class is taught by a professional voice actor from the voice acting training company, Voices For All. The Voices For All voice coach/producer/instructors are known for their fun and informative presenting methods. They have many years' experience in the voiceover industry and are masters at teaching all of the information pertinent to making it in voice acting. Whether it be speaking, presenting, writing, producing, or announcing, Voices For All has it covered. With hundreds of regional and national commercials and public service announcements under their belts, the instructors not only deliver the highest quality education and coaching but also bring an element of fun and excitement to the classroom with their unique enthusiasm and expertise.
