VOICE OVER CLASSES AREN'T JUST FOR VOICE TALENTS

I know what you're thinking.  "I thought only people that wanted to get into voice overs take voice over classes.  Not true at all.

When I was teaching classes around the country last year, I had all kinds of wonderful people take my class.  Priests, CEO's, Managers, Poets, etc.  Were they there because they wanted to get into voice overs?

Maybe a few but most were there because they wanted to learn how to become a better speaker.  How to take hold of a room full of clients.  How to be a more effective Minister or Priest.

Voice over classes aren't just for voice talents.  In my classes, I worked with students on how to become a more efficient speaker by looking your audience members in the eye and connecting with them.  Smiling as you speak and using your hands to help illustrate a story or point.

One most of the most important things you'll learn in a voice over class is how to warm up your voice before you speak.  I always did tongue twister and breathing exercises with my students.  During the breathing exercises, people would walk by the classroom and think it was a yoga class.

So, even you're not an aspiring voice talent, I would highly recommend taking a voice over class or get some kind of voice coaching over the phone.  Especially, if you're a CEO or Manager.  You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish with your voice when you're done.
