Learn Voiceover from the Pros
Online or In Studio
We are industry professionals with decades of experience and success in the voiceover field. We make our living solely from the VO industry, so we know how to succeed. Learn from us!
COVID 19 UPDATE: Our coaching studio has reopened on an appointment-only basis. We are instilling the appropriate protocols for everyone’s health and safety, such as social distancing and temperature taking upon entry. Studios are sanitized after each client. Masks must be worn when entering the building.
Why not learn from people with current working experience who are up on the latest trends in the VO Industry?
We offer coaching, guidance, advice, and feedback, but what makes us truly unique is that we are working voice professionals who have found success in this challenging but rewarding career. And we make our living from being voiceover actors and producers.
As Gurus, we act as a Mentor for a one-time session or a series of sessions depending on your goals. Not ready for live coaching? Learn on your own with our Voiceover Starter Study Guide for only $49.95.
We have a unique perspective and a particular set of skills. Kinda like Liam Neeson…but for Voiceovers.

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 or Zoom! 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 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, for those seeking an introduction to the industry. For those looking to just practice their skills and get feedback, individual lessons are also available on a pay as you go basis.
We offer two learning options. In-Studio and Online.
If you live in the New York area, Linda holds private sessions in her studio on Long Island. Learn all the basics of the Voiceover business and hone your skills in a private setting.
Our remote coaches work via Zoom or Skype, online as you work from your own home. Or join us for one of our group online workouts. An affordable way to practice the craft of voiceovers with multiple coaches.
Fees are by the hour and sessions are tailored to your goals.
No long-term commitments required.
