Voiceover for Beginners

We regularly run courses for all those people who often tell us: “I'd love to do some voice-over work – but I don't know how to get started!”

We have teamed up with a long-established, professional voiceover artist who has more than 20 years of experience working as a voiceover artist, and is an experienced trainer. His career in voiceovers began with a contract with the BBC World Service, where he learnt to become a translator and broadcaster, practising every day for five years. He has recorded thousands of hours of narration for documentaries, corporate videos, training material and language courses, mainly in French but also in English, Italian, German and even Spanish, which he started to learn at evening classes!

This includes discussion on how to translate scripts, and looking at real sample scripts; sight reading and practice, top tips on looking after your voice and preparing for work, how the industry works, how to promote yourself, where to look for work, some tuition/general advice. The aim is to provide you with an understanding of what is required to become a successful voiceover artist. You will have the chance to record your own voice and have your recording analysed straightaway. Places are limited to ensure that each person receives full support and attention.
