The Straight Scoop About Voice Over Training

It takes a lot of hard work to become a successful voice-over artist. You must be committed to learning, remain patient, and be willing to accept constructive criticism. Lifelong reading-aloud habits are difficult to break, and frustration is common when first starting your voice acting journey.

Many instructors provide beginner voice over workshops where they listen to one or two script readings to recommend a package. There are also online voice over training programs that feature short seminars followed immediately by a demo, or fixed lesson plans that rush into demo production. However, these brief workshops rarely provide enough foundational instruction for beginners starting their careers.

Short seminars make sense for working voice talent looking to refine specific skills, but they usually leave you with only a few key takeaways. Beginners need a more consistent source of technique-building instruction.

Can you build a successful career in Florida without understanding current industry demands? Can you compete with seasoned voice actors without mastering essential elements like pace, timing, breathing, inflection, and script comprehension? Working with a dedicated Miami Voice Over Coach ensures you master these core mechanics instead of trying to figure it out alone.

Voice acting offers great career potential, but real progress takes time and proper training. In this industry, there are no shortcuts.

One-on-One Coaching

Miami Voice Over Coaching

I provide a two-hour evaluation, a candid, in-depth critique of your ability and potential, and a one-on-one instruction program with in-depth voiceover lessons if the results are favorable. This is the most important investment you will make in your voice over career. Then, as you study and progress, we’ll decide when it’s best for you to create your demo.

I’ve resisted offering all-inclusive packages because I believe that one-on-one voice-over coaching is the only way to make real progress.

Have you ever had anyone in your life that you can point to that truly helped to shape your success, someone that not only had the skill and expertise, but also the insight and foresight that helped to push you to achieving your goals? That person for me is John Burr. I first trained with John years ago in his studio in Maryland. We forged a strong bond there and he helped me realize and achieve my dream of a becoming a voice actor. From the first time we met he told me that I had what it took to be successful in voice over. John combines a true understanding of the mechanics of the spoken word, with spirit, fun and unflappable inspiration. I will be forever grateful for his training and mentoring.

I am so thrilled that I went to John Burr for my voiceover training. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the industry, extremely detail-oriented, and has an unusual and admirable level of mastery of the English language. His solid techniques and invaluable coaching allowed me to hone my voiceover craft and explore the depths of my own talents.

John Burr is first and foremost a friend. I started working with him in 2010. Without John’s training and his deep understanding of the voice over business I would still be in areas I didn’t enjoy at all. In 2008, I lost my over 20-year job working for a Florida builder. Couldn’t find a decent job after that to save my life. I always had a hankering to try getting into voice over work, and someone recommended John to me. Following his expert training, I have been making a solid six-figure annual income, and my life has changed dramatically. I have a laundry list of great clients and 40 million plus views on You Tube and I work every day behind the mic. It’s a dream job only realized by learning from John and a lot of hard work. Read his book, sign up for his class and live your dream! He’s always been there for me.
