Voice Coaching

Is it better to receive coaching from somebody that's currently active in the Business ?

 

I've been active in all phases of electronic entertainment & media for over 25 years, with training from some of the best and some of the best class mates where there's something to be learned at every juncture. Represented through NY's top agents with bookings as a comedy relief voice actor on an ABC Daytime Soap, Voicing  for - NBC Sunday Today , MTV, Cartoon Network, Tons of spots and sound trax for Movies & Documentaries, I picked up a good ear for what passes as professional...and for what sounds different or original.

For the last few years I've worked with Maggie Phillips of Stand Up & Shout (VO-Workshop). As mainly an internet vo, its been a way to keep in touch with old world auditioning. Maggie teaches among many other areas that auditioning amongst other actors helps everyone. Maggie's a working vo and knows the benefit of imparting copy interpretation Out Loud. The same is practiced here. There's also the benefit an actor can gain from our data bank of industry contacts and the tools to get work.  It's a business! Like any other business.  I've been positioning products & services for 30 years.  I can help position talent to find their niche/style  and then - tap into it. What I offer is a chance to find what your strengths and weaknesses are and work on them.

Once you're ready, there's help with:
