Description
Ready to feel what being a voice actor is like?
Then welcome to our Intro Program – with a Group Foundation & Evaluation Class! – Where 1,200 successful new voice actors began!
1. Find out the genres you’re most likely to book. (This is key). Youâll have a 2-hour class with one of our coaches. They’ll (1) assess your voice, performance, and natural vocal strengths, (2) have you read a variety or scripts, and (3) give you immediate, live-directed, candid feedback.
2. Grab an understanding of the foundation of the VO industry and its current trends. Youâll gain an understanding of how this industry flows, and how it is based on 23 genres (types of voice over work), including animation, audiobooks, audio dramas, audio guides, commercial, corporate training, documentary, eLearning, narration, video games, and more.
3. Receive clear recommendations with feedback, and practical steps to take next! After class (usually the next weekday), we’ll call you to review your coaches feedback and suggestions. This generally includes your coach’s assessment of your strengths and possibilities, as well as your next best steps.
4. You’ll also receive Edge Studio’s popular Industry Guides: Including the The Performance Guidebook, The 5 Types of VO Demos, and The Demo Script Selection Guide. These are industry-trusted and will aid in your voice over training journey, helping you to make informed decisions and know the industry better.
5. Lastly, Feel What Itâs Like Being a Voice Actor! You’ll have free access to ten Voice Over classes, workouts, and audition rehearsals over the next month. This is an amazing opportunity to: (1) experience our coaches, (2) meet other students, (3) meet other voice actors, (4) hone your skills, and (5) ask questions. Weâll give you the schedule and Zoom links for all classes, so you can log in anytime you want, to as many as you want â and feel welcome to participate or just observe and learn.
This is the quickest way newcomers begin working as voice actors.
This program is perfect if you’re new to VO and want to find out if it’s for you â and want to dip your toes in without going overboard. It can lead to booking work.
And the evaluation portion is honest, the personalized plan is practical. We’re here to help. And that’s why this class is likely the most recommended in the entire voice over industry.
Benefits of the Intro Program with our Group Evaluation Class:
- This is a realistic representation of the voiceover environment in which the voice actor reads scripts, and the client listens, directs, and gives feedback remotely (or in the case of our in-person classes in NYC or LA from the other side of the booth!)
- Observing other students helps you develop your âear.â Voiceover performance is approached in various ways, depending on each studentâs personal nature, ability, and other factors â as youâll see when other members of the class read.
- More than that, you will learn by observing the other studentsâ responses to directions. You learn by taking direction yourself, but you learn even more by hearing the changes other people make.
- Ultimately, youâll learn how to incorporate that insight into your own delivery.
- The group class is economical, longer, and just as productive.
The Group Evaluation Class:
- Online on a Zoom Webinar – with a live instructor

Great intro and great feedback/suggestions for improvement!
I learned a lot and the instructor was clear and personable.
Very informative Very well planned a lot of good positive feedback
It was good.
The instructor was great and very engaging.
I had this intro class with Ashley and I am SO glad that I did! She is energetic, informative, and realistic about the V.O. world. She gave legitimate feedback to each individual student, and helped us figure out which niche would be best for each of us. The students were also just as passionate about V.O. which helped make this class such an amazing introduction. Everyone had multiple opportunities to get behind the mic and try out different scripts while receiving immediate feedback and direction. Absolutely recommend!!
When I first took this webinar I had NO prior voice-over experience, this class gave me an outlook into the voice world and I have been hooked since!
I took a group session with Mr. Art and he was just wonderful. He made his points very clear and kept the class engaged with wisdom of the industry.
I’m glad the group class was available! Art was casual and encouraging but also realistic and specific with his feedback of group members. I definitely want someone who will be direct and clear in the feedback so that I can get where I want to go. Thanks Edge Studio!
moderator was energetic and informative. Made the class so much fun
