FREE VOICE-OVER EVALUATION by PHONE
1 Session ... Takes about 30 minutes
Before we make a commitment to anyone
who contacts us for voice-over coaching, we like to feel comfortable
knowing the person has a good level of reading ability and
the skills to offer variety of interpretatons. We also want
the person to feel comfortable knowing that as well. It helps
us both, by establishing a benchmark from where we begin building
upon the individual's vocal strengths and weaknesses during
the early stages of voice-over coaching. We don't want anyone
in our studio to feel as though they've made a mistake after
plunking down their hard earned dough.
The free voice-over telephone evaluation offers the convenience
of "auditioning" a variety of scripts (provided)
from the comfort of your home or office, without the burden
of having to travel to our facility. This method also saves
a fair amount of travel time, and removes any risk of delays
due to traffic or weather.
Gernerally, we establish an agreed upon time for us to call.
The call is recorded and takes about 15 minutes to read the
scripts, and another 15 minutes for playback and evaluation.
When the call is over, edited mp3s of the call are emailed
to you for further review.
That's it. It's pretty straight forward and simple. If we
agree that you have the skills, determnation and resources
needed to persue voice-over coaching, we can discuss further
options. There's no pressure to sign up, honest. We want to work
with people who are comfortable with us and who are excited about the
endless possibilities of learning how to use their voice in new ways.
Evaluation Includes:
· ONE, 15 Minute Recording Session
· ONE, 15 Minute Playback and Review Session
· Mp3s emailed for further review
· Scheduled at a Mutually Agreed Upon Time. Call 800.970.5151 for details
