The voiceover school at Double RR is phenomenal. I've taken a bunch of different VO classes all…read moreover the city, but I think this is the best place for so many reasons: they offer super small classes, they bring in an impressive variety of professionals and experts, and they offer business classes in the field that provides realistic advice and illustrates real paths to a career in voiceover. They offer classes in narration, commercials, audiobooks, promo, and animation/video games for all levels, and you can sometimes audit a class for free first before committing to a whole series. There's also super specific courses like Accents & Dialects, where they'll bring in an expert like Alyson Steele to teach how to crack any accent, and master the main ones you'll get called for in auditions. They've also brought in Randi Thomas, the woman who live announces the Oscars and a LOT of other award shows. She does a lot promos too, but she was the first woman to do the Oscars and it is a super tough and specific technique. I heard about Double RR from another student, and decided to check it out because I had always been interested in animation, loved audiobooks, fascinated with documentary narration, etc. I loved it, and kept going to as many classes as I could at that studio before branching out to others. But I kept going back to Double RR, and worked my way up to the higher level courses. Their classes were absolutely instrumental in launching my voiceover career. The main instructor is Laurel VanderLinde and she is an absolute force. She's incredible at assessing your skill level and an amazing director. She covers a lot of the main courses in a lot of different areas. And they bring in casting directors for video games, Disney TV animation, promo writers/actors/producers plus VO agents for one-off classes. If you're anywhere from a little to a LOT interested in voiceover, this is the place for you.

Andrew Meisner, the head engineer, brings a Producer's ear to the session. He's incredibly fast and focused. We just finished a package of 12 radio spots that were completed (with client present) in half the time it would take at most ordinary studios. And the sound/mix is always right on. Sandy Orkin will work with you to find a rate that works for you. And the entire staff goes out of its way to make you feel comfortable.

I took both the beginner and intermediate classes at TalkShop; and although I can't say 1 was…read morebetter than the other, I can say the classes just kept getting better and more valuable with each one. Gary and Martha are seasoned vets in this industry and have a GENUINE DESIRE TO HELP! I can't stress this enough. With so many sharks out there looking to make a quick buck, it's so nice to find a team of professionals that actually want to see you succeed in the biz. Almost IMMEDIATELY after taking the two courses, I started getting work right away (which has already covered the cost of both classes and THEN some). Things have been steady ever since, and I can't credit TalkShop enough with helping me get my new career started. The facilities are top notch and the learning environment is a BLAST! They get straight to the point and get you in the booth on the first day. They also send you home with all your recordings, so when it's all said and done - you can actually go back and hear for yourself how much you've improved since starting. Granted, there are a lot of fantastic places to take classes for VO; but for an all around, hands on, introductory course to the VO industry - TalkShop takes the cake. I looked forward to these classes every week and have since been doing 1 on 1 sessions which are really what have helped define my "sound" and directly lead to bookings. Definitely give them a shot if you are looking to break into the VO biz. If they had 10 stars on Yelp, I'd give them a full 10/10.

Voiceover LA is worth looking into…read more If you're a Voiceover wanna-be, beginner, advanced or just need the practice - give Martha or Gary a call. They've got decades of experience in the biz, and have experienced the digital trends in the industry first hand. They're qualified to teach you the things you need to know to make it in Voiceover! Each class from the beginning tackles different copy and how to decipher and deliver those words in the best way YOUR voice can. Martha and Gary had great, knowledgeable answers to every question I had about a career in VO. From marketing myself to auditioning for characters. Look they know their stuff, and if you're ambitious to get quality, coached time behind the mic, then this class is for you. Give them a call, or even a friendly e-mail, your VO career certainly won't regret it.

He'll tell you right from the get-go what will and will not work. Ideally, we would have started and finished with him, from rehearsal to recording to post-production to mastering. He's the one to go with. He's polished, experienced and so very professional. He's the real deal. My only regret is that we could have saved some time and money if we had only known about him FIRST.
