Our students have grown their skills by taking our courses and workouts. Here are just a few of their stories.

Love the format
I learn best listening (and doing) and not just reading material. I am familiar with most of what was discussed but it's always good to do a refresh.

An excellent introduction to voiceover!
The Voiceover Gurus Starter Course is an excellent resource for anyone just starting out. You get all the basic information (and some insider tips and tricks) for a super reasonable price, and all of the information is accessible to you as many times as you need it. Then, when you book individual lessons or a group workout (so much fun, also highly recommended), you can jump right into practicing the craft because you've already learned the introductory material! Linda and JJ are so positive and great to work with, but they're also totally real and won't sugarcoat the hard work this profession entails. The Voiceover Gurus Starter Course is the perfect investment to make in yourself and your future business!

Integrity
This course is a fantastic place to start on the VoiceOver path. You'll get all of your questions answered about the business, and yourself! All 3 coaches are outstanding and (sometimes brutally) honest. When they say they keep it real, it's 100% true. I felt accountable and supported the whole way.

Excellent course!
I am so glad I started my intro to voiceover with The Voiceover Gurus. I started out by listening to their podcast (the Voiceover Gurus podcast) and from there, I signed up for the VO Gurus Next Level course. From vocal techniques and warm up exercises to understanding scripts and creating your own home studio, Linda Bruno and JJ Wilson provide a wealth of information that will get VO students headed in the right direction. I appreciated that the course included audio exercises to submit, in which I was given feedback within 24 hours (usually sooner!). The course also included two VO workouts, two one-on-one coaching sessions, and a Next Steps session. The coaching sessions are so helpful as you will receive direct feedback based on exercises the coach provides. The workouts are super fun and they allow you (force you!) to get out of that comfort zone and practice all you have learned with others, and you get useful feedback from the coaches that are facilitating. I appreciate both Linda and JJ for their honesty, their humor, and their willingness to help others as they grow in this profession.
