I had a blast going through this course and excited for the future for what I could possible create with my voice and what characters I can give life too. Thank you for your guidance in character work!

There is so much I had only assumed about voice overs. Having this class go in-depth about some of these assumptions saved me from so many issues!

Lot's of great nuggets!!! I am happy they show the technical side of the business, instead of just the aesthetic side.

Some parts were overly complicated. I expected more help on making different character voices but it mostly focused on building your own studio.

Half way through. So far it's pretty good. Much of it is theory. But some is actual practice - which is great.

The course has exceeded my expectations so far, I came in looking for something that would help me get started in the voice acting work for 1-3 characters, now I understand that my scope was so limited whereas the possibilities are vast! Thanks for putting this all together in such a logical order with interesting and engaging delivery!

Excellent course. A good, grounded background into the industry that taught me a lot. The sections with working professionals were great, because they demonstrate how many different paths there are into the career. And both presenters seem to be engaged and having fun. That said, there are a few technical bits such as signal to noise ratio and audio editing that I feel may be just a tiny bit over the head of the average person. I came to the course as an audio semi-professional, so they’re second nature to me, but I know a few people whose eyes glaze over at the site of an XLR cable. It’s always a tug of war between being too basic and too advanced, and they come pretty close to the sweet spot here, but to anyone who might experience a little confusion, I recommend taking notes and reading up on any concepts on which you might seek more background. Probably a good idea anyway, and not just for this course. Just know it going in. And have fun!

This is the fourth class I have taken from Voiceover Masterclass. They are all good. There is a little bit of overlap from course to course, but that is to be expected, and the information is helpful. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn about voice character work

I appreciated the scope of the course - it covered just about everything you could think of for voice acting. It would have been nice to go into more practice around different style of voices, though I appreciate the interviews and the PDF download that let you practice on your own. Tips about making new voices and being comfortable with your voice would have made this a perfect class.
