Nikki Brooks:I booked myself on the one day workshop with JP, followed it up with a one on one and then recorded the Agent Pack with Mike. This is the best money I have spent in a very long time. They create a relaxed fun environment where you feel able, ready and confident to record.What impressed me the most was the level of detail ,clarity and creative ways in which direction was given to me. Because of this I was able to improve immediately and get a reel that I love. I couldn’t have had a better experience Thank you guys x”

Caroline Hume:“The Intro voiceover workshop gives you everything you need to know about the world of the voiceover; especially about the reality of working in the business. And if, like me, you feel a bit nervous about getting behind the mic, you don’t have to worry because JP understands all that. He will give you practical techniques for taking away nerves as well as making you laugh so that you can’t feel awkward for long! Highly recommended”

Gareth Patterson:“I had a fantastic experience on the intro workshop led by the dynamic JP. It was quickly apparent that he knew what he was talking about. Even off topic comments by the group seemed to lead in to another priceless nugget of information from him about what it took to do well in voice over. Whether it was about what not to eat before a session (cheese is super bad apparently), or the methods used by working artists I had no doubt I was in the presence of professionals. Strongly recommended and I can’t wait to book in for another session.”

He’s very patient and is full of great tips and advice if you’re just entering the industry. He will be honest if he really doesn’t think it’s for you too. Give it go is my advice. Thank you JP”
