    Stellar Coaching! Great investment in my VO career.

    JJ and Linda have put together a well-organized course. They provide excellent, valuable feedback based on their years of experience, and I always felt as if I were growing exponentially in competency - and confidence! - with every single coaching session. I stalked their Voiceover Gurus podcast for months before making the decision to coach with them, and they are exactly as advertised: fun, knowledgeable, open and truly invested in your success as a student. Having the option to get input and feedback from more than one coach was a bonus. Loved working with them!

"Amazing"

Amazing! Voiceover Gurus is exactly what I have been looking for! They are professional, honest, affordable and have been successfully dedicated to the art of voice acting for decades. I chose the online video-based starter package and am so happy I did! It was exactly what a "newbie" like me needed to learn and practice some introductory voice-over techniques.

Highly Recommend

Linda's direction allowed me to explore areas of my voice I had never discovered. I couldn't believe how much I accomplished in our sessions, and how much my voice transformed during this time. I look forward to continuing to learn from Linda and highly recommend her expertise to anyone who is interested in strengthening their vocal abilities!

Really a great team!

My only complaint is that I didn’t work with Linda from the start. Everything they offer at Voiceover Gurus was a huge help for my VO/VA journey. From the workout sessions with Linda and JJ to the acting lessons with Alyssa, to the private lessons with Linda to the great demo with David! Really a great team!

I have really enjoyed learning from Linda

I have really enjoyed learning from Linda, and there is a lot to learn. If your thinking about getting into voiceover talk to Linda or try one of the online group zoom classes. They are a lot of fun and you will definitely learn.

When it was time to restart my VO career

When it was time to restart my VO career, choosing Linda Bruno and Voiceover Gurus was a no-brainer. With practical knowledge based on personal experience, Linda brings her enthusiasm, expertise, and a firm grasp on reality to her coaching. The coaching offers every individual the opportunity...if you do the work...to discover or perfect YOUR voice.

Although a newbie at the voice over profession

Although a newbie at the voice over profession, I learned so much at just one of the Voiceover Gurus Wednesday session. Their comments were honest. No 'everybody gets a trophy attitude here.' You earn it. If you're thinking about entering the voiceover profession, or if you're a seasoned vet, there's always something to learn from The Voiceover Gurus.

An incredibly talented teacher who helped me understand the voiceover world

I don't even know where to begin. Linda from Voice Over Gurus is an incredibly talented teacher who helped me understand the voiceover world. I was always curious about voiceover work but didn't really know where to go. She has helped me find and understand my newfound passion. Cannot recommend Linda enough. (p.s. thanks for putting up with my shenanigans lol)

A gifted teacher who thrives on helping others succeed!

Linda Bruno is not only a professional voice actor with endless credentials to her name, she is also a gifted teacher who thrives on helping others succeed! After only a few weeks of training with Linda, my abilities as a voice actor accelerated to a place that would have taken me months or possibly years to achieve on my own.

Wonderful workout!

I did a group workout with Linda Bruno who offered valuable tips for executing a "Luxury" read...which I never do, because I don't think they fit me. A couple of weeks later I won a spot for Renewal by Anderson that called for a luxury read!! If she can do that in 2 hours, just imagine what she could do for a student!!

Honest feedback from professionals who do this each and every day.

It was my first experience with voiceover and it was really great reading scripts and getting honest feedback from professionals who do this each and every day. I look forward to more sessions with the “Gurus” to improve my work.
