See You On October 14th!

We’re back and better than EVER with our virtual Voiceover Acting Education! This time we’re partnering with world-renowned voiceover actor, Eric Vale!

Join us via Zoom as we sit down with this industry veteran. We’re going to dive deep into an honest conversation about how to pay your bills, the con-life, improve your acting, and pursue voiceover acting as a career. This event is truly unique, and nothing has ever been offered like it before. Seats will go FAST so grab your ticket today. We’ve sold out every time we’ve offered these workshops so don’t hesitate!

We’re charging just $100 to make sure as many artists can attend as possible.

Some of the questions we’ll cover:

For someone trying to break in today, what does the first five years realistically look like financially and professionally?
What separates the people who eventually succeed from those who don't, even when both groups are talented?
What are the most common mistakes you hear from emerging voice actors, and what are they usually missing?
Early-career performers are often told to say yes to every opportunity. What boundaries do you think actors should establish early, and how do you know when to say no?

This event will feature a live Q&A where we will take audience submissions. Any question not answered in the workshop WILL be answered via email following the event.*
