Meet The Gurus
We aren’t coaches who used to be Voice Actors.
We are working Voice Actors who also coach. Big Difference.
Ok, I'm in! How do I get started?!
You're making a good choice! Now it's time to meet your guru!
Still have some questions?
Why do I need a Guru?
Coaching is essential to start a career as a voiceover actor. Get access to actual working professionals who are succeeding every day and learn from them the tools to make money in this career. Don’t reinvent the wheel, learn from people who have already done it!
Where do I meet with my Guru?
We have two options:
Lessons Via Skype! In your underpants! Actually, don’t wear just your underpants cause we can see you.
Or, learn at our studios! Do you live on Long Island? Join us at our studios in Plainview for lessons or sign up for a VO class or Improv!
How much does it cost?
Unlike traditional voiceover classes & programs, where costs can be in the $1,000’s, you can receive private one-on-one sessions with successful working professionals at a fraction of the cost. During your sessions, you will receive highly personalized advice and education specific to your goals. And since it’s all about you, each lesson will be filled with valuable information that you can apply immediately. We offer a Voiceover Starter Package spanning 4 lessons as well as a Twelve Lesson Comprehensive for those that would like to pursue Voiceover as a career. For those looking to just practice their skills and get feedback, individual lessons are also available.
We also have an “In Studio” Option: If you live in the New York area, Linda holds classes and private sessions in her studio on Long Island. Learn all the basics of the Voiceover business and hone your skills in either a group or private setting. Classes are held at various times each month and are posted on the booking page. For information on the next workshop, Click the “Get Started” link above.
Fees are by the hour or workshop and sessions are tailored to your goals.
No long-term commitments required.
