![]() ![]() There are other terrific people and places for voiceover training, most of whom I already mention on a page of this web site. I have had people who knew they were going to be in Chicago on business or for a wedding who made plans to arrange a Voiceover Exploration while they were in the area. But I can let you know that people have come from far suburbs and as far away as Indiana and Springfield, Illinois to take the Voiceover Exploration. It's up to you who (whom? I think it's whom) you choose for training, of course. ![]() You were the only person I found on my first few searches. Do you have any other recommendations for people closer to me? I’m about 20-45 minutes north of Chicago. To see how far away you are, it’s actually quite a drive away. Sadly I mapped the Ukrainian village (from your site). Venturing to the far-flung wilds of Ukrainian Village, Chicago, USA Now here are some other actual exchanges I've had with people. I wanted to get that information out there. ![]() And as I've said elsewhere, if you're brand-new to the VO biz and someone is all-fired READY to make a demo for you based only on a few hours conversation or a short assessment, you really need to say, "Um, I forgot something in my car." and RUN away before they take away your hard-earned money for no good reason. Find out all the details of the Voiceover Exploration here. Through that you'll learn absolutely everything possible about this challenging business and your place in it. If you're brand new to the voiceover business, I would recommend you come in for the Voiceover Exploration. Whoa, whoa, WHOA! I would never recommend that someone record a voiceover demo without 1) finding out if they have the skills and drive necessary to pursue the business and 2) making sure they've received training and guidance. ![]() Is right now good for you? Where do you live? I'm coming over NOW to record my very first voiceover demo! I want to record a demo with you tomorrow. I think I know what I'm doing, but I'm not exactly sure. I did some voiceover work a long time ago, but haven't done a bit of it since. I've done a lot of acting, but have never been behind a microphone. I'm an actor in town and want to add voiceover to my list of talents. Can I hire you right now to produce my demo? Like, RIGHT now?! Payment for the VO Exploration can be made with cash, check, Venmo, Cash App, Chase QuickPay or by credit card with an extra five bucks to cover their fees. How do I pay for the Voiceover Exploration? For people in the voiceover business, it's essential. If you don't have a home computer and can only read this at work, a friend's house or the library, please go here instead, because the rest of us live in the 21st century. A recent client got everything he needed for under $300, not including the computer, of course. When we meet, I tell you what you need to buy to start recording at home. I have one of the top voiceover agents in Chicago (which means in the Midwest), and I do 90% of my auditions from just a few feet away from where I'm sitting at this moment, sometimes in my bathrobe (TMI). (If anyone says you don't, or if discussion of a home studio is NOT a part of what they're offering, say thank you and WALK AWAY - they're clueless about today's business.) You need to be able to practice a whole heckuva lot on mic to get good enough to compete, and then you'll need to be able to record and send auditions to your agent.
