1-on-1 Voiceover Coaching

How voiceover coaching works…

Each 1-on-1 private voiceover coaching session is done via Skype or Zoom and can work on whatever genre you want to work on: commercials, narration, animation, audiobooks, video games, and more.

You’ll need

  • A computer with a microphone

You’ll get

  • A 60-minute intensive lesson
  • Scripts to study and rehearse
  • A recording of the entire session, including your takes and Marc’s feedback

If you’re a Beginner Marc’s instruction will kick-start your V-O experience, building the strong foundation every voice actor needs to know.

If you’re at the Intermediate level, with a few V-O courses under your belt, he’ll work with you to achieve competence in voice acting, helping you eliminate your weaknesses and maximize your strengths.

If you’re an Advanced student he’ll help you achieve proficiency, and can prepare you for the all-important V-O demo that every voice actor needs to get an agent and work.

And if you’re a part-time or full-time working voice actor, Marc will help you hone your talent, giving you the tools and the confidence you need to catapult your performance to the next level and book more V-O work.

What Marc’s students say

“My questions were answered extensively and my bad habits broken. The critiques are what I look forward to the most – useful and honest.”
—Stan Robak www.stanrobak.com

“Finding someone good is one thing, but finding someone good that you trust is Gold!”
—Mike Wade, ABC Radio Networks Mike on Voice123

“He explains the fine points of interpreting copy, makes you think about what you’re saying and how you’re doing it, and he inspires you to inject meaning and feeling behind the words in a script.”
—Tina Wilson www.tinawilsontalent.com

“I’ve taken a lot of acting, commercial, and V-O instruction over the years, and I’ve never had a teacher who gave me as much practical information and helpful advice as Marc…. I’ve already recommended his instruction to several colleagues, confident they’re getting more than their money’s worth. I certainly did!”
—Amy Snively www.amysnively.com

Commercial voice acting syllabus

Marc is the only voice acting teacher in the world who gives students a V-O Report Card when they’ve completed one of his courses, which are not structured like many cookie-cutter V-O courses out there. Marc’s instruction is individualized to each student, as everyone has different experiences and learning curves.

Online and in-studio courses run four weeks. 1-on-1 coaching is an ongoing process and all sessions are recorded. Here are just a few of the many subjects covered in Marc’s courses and 1-on-1 coaching that addresses Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Working Pros.
