Abbe's course was jam packed with practical information, personal experience and an in-depth understanding of the industry (plus all the ins and outs). She creates a beautiful, supportive environment that allows you to open up and take part in the artistry of voice over. She is a brilliant coach, guide and gives you a real feel for what to expect - as well as the necessary steps required to proceed further. Her authenticity and passion shines through her work; I couldn't recommend this workshop highly enough.

Since COVID-19, working from a home studio has become the norm. But the magic of technology, especially Source-Connect (SC) has meant we still get to work together collaboratively. We just don’t get that hug, a coffee together, or chew the fat face-to-face. If you want more information on what I just talked about, here’s a link to my blog on VoiceOver in Covid and setting up a home studio for voiceover. When a job comes through my agent, with an ask to record from home, I get the script sent, suggest a time that works, and print out and read the script. Simple! And it all starts with that script. You may look at your script and say, “well that looks easy enough”. Trust me, it won’t be. There’ll be things you won’t have even suspected that need clarification. You need to look at that text forensically. The main reason for being complete across the script before you even boot up the computer is this. You don’t want to be going back to the job after you’ve sent it off, fixing a word or a phrase here or there. It’s a total pain…and takes precious time. There will be many questions. For instance, can I use contractions, such as converting ‘there will’, into there’ll? You get my meaning. The ‘contraction’ almost always sounds better in the spoken word. You’ll need to understand every single word or phrase and get clear on their meaning.

Welcome to VoiceOver Coach! To be a successful voiceover artist, you need to understand that voiceover is about a lot more than just reading words.

I turned a love of words and language into an incredibly successful voiceover career! To be successful in any industry you must make a study of it.
