EDUCATION
We don't just produce great audio, we also produce great talent. We have the training you need to explore becoming a professional voice actor.
VOICE OVER GROUP CLASS
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN PURSUING A CAREER IN VOICE ACTING?
FUN PART:
Voice acting is a blast. You talk and get paid for it. The people you meet in the studio are great and you’re the center of attention during the session.
Sometimes you get to play a character. Sometimes you get to play yourself.
DETAILS PART:
We'll meet for 8 consecutive Tuesdays at 6 PM in the studios at Radio Garage Productions. Each class lasts about an hour up to 90 minutes and you'll be in the studio on the first night recording your voice. Class is designed to give you the basics of successful voice-over for radio, television, film and narrations.
We have a maximum of eight students in each class.
Cost for the entire course is $595 (includes a demo file for your use)
DISCLAIMER PART:
Class fee is non-refundable unless we don't hold class. If you are interested in class but have questions or are not 100% sure you want to give it a try, give us a call. You can read a few scripts for us and get a feel for what VO work is really like before you pay for class.
LEGAL PART:
Taking our class does not guarantee that you will be able to perform as a voice-actor. We don't want to discourage anyone because we are always looking for talented new voice-actors. But a career in voice-over work is much more than having a wonderful sounding voice. A voice actor must be able to read a script and sound authentic, as if they really know what they’re talking about. And it’s not as easy as it sounds. It takes practice. We’ve found that people have a better chance of becoming a voice actor if they have experience in the arts that require practice and interpretation. Things like acting, singing or playing a musical instrument. If you’re not comfortable with practicing, you may not want to take this class.
