Voice Over School

Learning how to use your voice could well be the start of something big. During this course you will try your voice out at narrating documentaries, corporate videos, trailers for film and of course the inevitable TV commercial as well as radio commercials and station promos.

Your efforts are mastered on to CD for you to take away ready to be heard by the voice over industry. Job leads are available via email, so there should be an opportunity coming your way sooner than you think.

Taught by Melinda Lawler. She is the Head of Speech and Drama at the Academy. She has ten years experience as an actress/broadcaster in commercial radio, radio drama and voice overs. She was trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama before working in repertory theatre and moving into commercial radio as a presenter.

You will also meet experienced voice trainer technicians who will help you to achieve that perfect sounding CD showreel.

Now is the time to invest in your voice, it's a voice that can be marketed, sold and resold all over the world.
