VOICEOVER BASICS FOR BOOKINGS

VOICEOVER BASICS FOR BOOKINGS, October 10 - November 14, 2026

Ready to turn your voice into a booking machine?

In this dynamic 6-week course, you’ll learn the essential and advanced acting and auditioning techniques that help voice actors stand out—and get hired.

Each Saturday (2-hour sessions), veteran voice actor Scott Burns (Nintendo/Super Mario, Nickelodeon, Amazon, Nike, T-Mobile, Maytag, UPS, Miller Lite, and more) shares the exact strategies he’s used throughout his career to win over clients and consistently land bookings.

This is a hands-on, performance-driven class. You’ll receive weekly “Fauxditions” (real-world style practice auditions) to record at home and submit for review. In class, we’ll break them down together—focusing on:

  • Performance choices
  • Audio quality
  • Audition etiquette & casting specs
  • What actually makes a submission book

Important: Students must have a way to record and submit audio from home.

What’s Covered

  • Commercial reads that convert
  • Compelling narration styles
  • Character work for animation & games
  • Audition psychology: what casting really listens for

You’ll also receive Scott’s comprehensive 110+ page workbook, Voiceover Basics for Bookings, packed with:

  • Marketing strategies
  • Agent insights
  • Vocal exercises
  • Home studio setup & connectivity
  • Trusted industry resources

Why This Class Works

This isn’t theory—it’s real-world, booking-focused training from someone who’s worked both sides of the glass.

Before becoming a full-time voice actor, Scott spent 14 years casting and producing commercials at a Seattle ad agency. That insider perspective gives you a powerful edge: you’ll learn exactly how clients think—and how to make them choose you.


Small Class. Big Growth.

Enrollment is capped at 8 students to ensure personalized feedback and meaningful growth.

This is a supportive, high-energy environment where you’re encouraged to take risks, refine your instincts, and—yes—have fun. Because at the end of the day, talent that sounds confident, relaxed, and enjoyable to work with often wins the job.

Sometimes the deciding factor really is:
“They just sound like someone we’d love to work with.”

Let’s make sure that someone is you.
