Andy The VO Coach
My voiceover coaching is designed to help actors audition with clear intent, and work with producers and directors with confidence and authenticity. Using my deep experience from a long career working with actors of all stripes, my goal is to help you become your own best voiceover coach and handle most anything that comes your way.
Newbies
You’re trying to find your voice (no pun intended) trying to gauge the range of your skills, what you do best, and how you fit into the business. I get it. We all started there. You’ll need a solid foundation of acting skills and work habits to carry you into a successful career. And maybe most importantly these days – you’ll need to know how to audition by yourself without much direction. I want to help you get to a point where you can coach and direct yourself, making solid creative choices and giving consistently authentic reads. Once we identify what you need, we’ll use the appropriate scripts and exercises to hone those skills!
Veteran Actors
I think we can all agree the business has changed a lot. If you started back when we all auditioned in person with an actual voice director, (not really that long ago) you may be a bit at sea with the current state of the business: auditioning in your house with just “Anncr 30-50 yrs old” for direction. I can help. Everyone could use a hand (and a fresh, unbiased set of ears), no matter where you are in your VO career. If you aren’t booking like you used to, I can show you strategies for approaching material in fresh ways. If you’re looking for a way to approach a new genre, or just brush up on your skills, I’m here for you. My coaching sessions are collaborative, so we’ll work together to help you continue your successful career.
About Me
After decades of working with actors while casting, producing, writing and directing radio commercials, promos, television, and animation (not to mention my own voice acting career), I am happy to bring that experience to my coaching for voice actors. I’ve cast and directed thousands of spots and tons of content. I understand the voice over business. I get how writers, producers and advertisers think, I get how animators think, and I get how actors think.
In addition to my other work, I am currently voice directing SpongeBob Squarepants and The Patrick Star Show for Nickelodeon.
Pricing
The rate is $200 for each 1 hour individual session, or a package of 5 sessions for $850 (Save $150). I am also available for individual audition direction sessions for $50.00 per 20 minutes.
I also offer a special “Speaking From Experience Package” (SFE). For a fee of $2500 you can have me available “on call” * for a month - up to 15 hours of coaching, audition direction, and whatever consultation you may need - a savings of $500.
*Within reason – I can be available ASAP on occasion if needed, and will do my best to accommodate any urgent “SFE” requests as quickly as possible.
Let's Get Started!
Fill out the form and tell me how I can help, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Once you decide upon the level of coaching you want — individual sessions, a package of sessions, or a 20-minute audition direction session -- we can get to work! I usually work on Zoom, but can flexible if you feel you might want in-person coaching and we are near one another.
And Then...
I'll get in touch with you to arrange for a free 20 minute “get to know you” meeting to explore how we can work together. This way we’re not wasting time (or your money) to introduce ourselves and get up to speed. Then, when we start your first session, we can get right to work.
