Home Studio 101 Tele-Seminar

GET THE TOOLS TO AUDITION & MARKET ACROSS THE GLOBE

Greg Sextro Having a home studio at their disposal is rapidly becoming one of the most powerful weapons in the arsenal of any voiceover talent who wishes to stay competitive.

In the past, you would have used giant reels of tape and edited with razor blades, but fortunately today you don't need to build an addition onto your house or take out a second mortgage to equip yourself with a studio capable of providing auditions, or even broadcast quality audio.

We will ease the learning curve and help you write the shopping list for your studio. Be able to market yourself anywhere in the world and deliver your voice to your clients without leaving the comforts of home. Working in your pajamas is optional.

Instructor Greg Sextro will help you assess you home studio needs and discuss the in's and out's of what’s involved in becoming your own engineer and producer. Steve has worked with likes of NPR, Pfizer, the BBC, numerous fortune 500 companies, and such as celebrities Morgan Freeman and President Bill Clinton. There isn't much he doesn't know, hasn't seen, or hasn't heard. Questions are welcomed during the seminar. See details below.

Sign up now for the next tele-seminar on August 5, Thursday 7pm-9pm ET.

For $79, Greg Sextro answers your questions and gives his expert knowledge on the details involved in expanding your career using a home studio.

Hello Sara... Please let everyone know that I thoroughly enjoyed tonight's tele-class. I learned a lot, which is always time worth while! THANK YOU!!! With kind regards,

Carmen Honeycomb

Dear David, Thank you for implementing the ProTools webinar last night to our enhance our VO education model in your Phase 4 program! Steve Weiss was amazingly knowledgeable and helpful with the topics he wanted to cover, in addition to the careful and precise way he fielded a variety of questions. The session last night left me with a few new tricks that I plan to play with to help with my post-production work! I'm grateful for the educational themes you've developed over the years to...

Thanks for a great prelim on Pro Tools. I'm glad you had the extra time Thurs., that allowed me to purchase a full two-hour session. Really needed it. Many thanks again....what a warm and professional group at Edge! Can't wait to schedule another class. Ciao,

Hi David, The seminar was very helpful, as there is so much out there to sift through. Audible has given me some guidelines, and I've been in touch with a guy in N.J. who does a lot of V.O. out of his home studio, but the seminar was most helpful in fleshing out the specifics. You have a great knack for explaining the complex with simple clarity! Best Regards,

Hi, I really enjoyed the Voice-Over from Home tele-seminar. The instructor covered a lot of ground very thoroughly and allowed lots of opportunities for questions. He even remained on the line about 15-20 minutes after the finish time to answer additional questions, which I thought was very generous of him. The tele-seminars are a great concept. I love the convenience and cost-effectiveness and would definitely be interested in future tele-classes, especially in marketing, audio book,...

FYI - excellent class with Steve tonight - invaluable info.

Hi Cathy. I just wanted to share a comment, having hung up with Greg Sextro's course below. He is terrific! I really enjoyed this class. He is quite thorough and well prepared, broke everything down into chewable doses, and was neither condescending nor over our heads in his explanation of things. Just the right person for novices like me. Thanks so much.

Jan Daddona

Thank you for the seminar. I found it to be very helpful and informative.

Frank

Hi Nice of you to follow up. He got me all set up, and gave me the preliminaries as to how to record and transmit the file. I guess I'll need another lesson to really understand the fine points about adjusting the audio quality. In any case, he's a great teacher -- very patient, systematic-- now I just have to pick up my notes and practice a bit! I thought he did a great job. Thanks again for your interest Best--

Susan

Hi David, My session was awesome-- my comfort level with Pro Tools improved about a zillion percent! Thanks!

Bruce

David, Thank you so much for the opportunity to talk with you this past Tuesday afternoon. Your input and expertise was very helpful and provided much "food for thought". I would very much like to submit a demo for consideration. It would be a great honor to be part of your talent pool. I'll follow-up after the via Edge Studio's website. I'm anxiously awaiting my next tele-class. Thank you again

Cathy Faulkner

David, just want you to know that I took Greg Sextro's Phase IV webinar on removing mouth clicks and breaths. He did a great job, and although I use Audacity instead of Protools, Greg made the concepts clear and easily translatable to any program. No wasted words or motions. He did a great job!

Karl

Hi David, Thank you for last night's seminar! I enjoyed it because it was very informational and now I know I must wait QUITE a while until I will be able to have a home studio. But when and if I do, at least I have knowledge of what I would need and available options. I must admit I had a difficult time sitting for the 2 hours. Perhaps I need a different head set/recording set up. I am already signed up for the tele telephony, audio book and private classes. I am hoping to have my demo made by...

Wendy Battersby-Quaglia

Hi Dave, I had my ProTools/home stuido session yesterday. He was really knowlegable, really helpful, and really nice. I am really pleased!

Patricia von Brook

Hi David's workshop was great. I almost feel like I could actually set up a home system and make it work! I am somewhat tech savvy but David was a big help and made it less scary.
