 Mastering Voiceover: Live Classes in Los Angeles
Voice over is a voice-driven business. So why not learn from one of the top voice coaches in the country,one of the same guys "million-dollar voices" have gone to for private training and coaching? Mastering Voiceover is taught by Dan Balestrero, author of the national best selling CD course Mastering the Art of Voiceovers, and the only voice over training series that really grounds you in the vocal development techniques all top pros ultimately use. Offering 18 hours of instruction over 6 weeks, Mastering Voiceover teaches both beginners and professionals alike the comprehensive skills they'll need to know in order to successfully navigate this highly competitive but lucrative industry.
Getting down to business
New to the industry? We'll cover all the details, from the realities of breaking in, to how to break down copy; from how to compile a first-rate demo, to how to get that first critical agent. Had some experience? We'll help you refine your marketing and target your clients better with inside information about current conditions and the newest styles.
 Ultimately though, it's all about voice
Your voice is the engine that does all the work. If you have a long sentence, there is the danger of running out of breath, and that wouldn't be good. Which is why we teach you much more than just acting and performance styles. Mastering Voiceover concentrates on the most valuable asset any voice over artist can have—control of your vocal instrument. Discover the secrets of breathing and voice production that all top-flight professionals use to win their auditions and deliver effortless reads. Get introduced to the magic of ?Day Voice? and the relationship between voice development and career success. And, we'll also teach you how to dramatically improve your phrasing, ace your cold readings and how to sound fresh even on your twenty-second take.

Small classes, big gains
Class size is limited to ten people to ensure maximum personal attention and plenty of turns reading. This also allows students to interact more personally with each other. We believe the emphasis should be on your progress and interactivity, not our bottom line and lecturing.
 Perfect your skills faster
Because Mastering Voiceover classes are based on the exact same techniques taught in our Voiceover lesson download store Mastering the Art of Voiceovers, you can increase your learning curve dramatically by reviewing MP3 lessons at home, or in the car. Didn't quite get that voicing right last time in front of the class? Just go to the specific track download and practice that section alone, at your own speed—then perfect your performance next time at mic. Both the live class and lesson downloads are designed to work with with each other and be mutually supporting. Got an audition? Use MP3 downloads to warm up even as you drive to it. (MP3 lessons sold separately)
Mastering Voiceover: Live Classes will include group reads, cold reading drills, and detailed discussions of how to form a business plan. Dan has 30 years teaching experience and emphasizes: breath and voice development, cold reading skills, voiceover styles, naturalness of delivery, home studio set up instruction, and the business networking skills that are essential for getting work. Beyond that, mock auditions will insure your ability to invent different reads upon request and to cold read without strain or anxiety.

I wasn't sure about doing voiceovers; I always thought voice over required this magical, unobtainable skill. But Dan introduced me to my "Day Voice," which is nothing more than my personality and how I communicate normally. What he did is simply show me how to use that daily skill to read even the most difficult copy.

I never knew how to really market myelf until I took this class. A lot of others give you advice, but these classes give you the realities. They treat it like a business, because it is a business.

Dan's not only authoritative and fun, he showed me how to connect vocal technique to voice over style. That's important in my commercial work.

A lot of people feel creative inside but can't let go. Once these classes showed me how breathing worked, and how to believe in myself, it set the maniac in me free.

I've gotten a lot of good coaching, but this is the first time that I understood how it all fits together. All the business, all the talent, all the training, all the marketing. Yay Dan!
