"Having completed the
workshops five years ago I still keep contact with Daina, Paul
and Dan regularly. They are all just as supportive and helpful
today as they were then. A highly professional group-Thanks
again guys."

Thank you Voice Spot WCS! I
started classes with the intention of doing narration and I am
now actively working. The opportunity to learn from people
who actually do the work is exceptional and Dan and Paul’s
insights into their professional world really helped me move
forward in this business. I have the “tool box” and I know
how to use it!

very professional, great information and super friendly,
approachable people.

Weekend Voice-Over Introduction...
To say I had
a great time would be an understatement. In fact, my one
"problem" with the course, was coming down from that "high"
and getting back to my "day job". Seriously though, my "fun
factor" expectations were met and exceeded!
I remain in *awe* of how much excellent information was
covered in one weekend. Not to mention the progress I saw and
felt in myself in just two days. I had a good laugh over my
tape recording of that voice exercise. It was totally fun
though, and I feel both encouraged and inspired to continue
putting into application everything I learned through the
course and from the experience in the sound booth.
(like to s-l-o-wwww-d-o-wwwww-n) :)
A big thank you to everybody at WCS for all the advice that is
helping me begin to "get out of my own way" and for the
stellar examples of professionalism and integrity. Armed with
sound advice like that, how can a person get off to anything
but a great start? I especially appreciated what a thorough
overview was given from a business perspective. Your course
really seemed to incorporate "the big picture".
Appreciatively,

I enjoyed the
opportunity to experiment & play, the incredible amount of
information shared, the positive feeling throughout.
The class was very
well organized, informative, good size, good instruction,
hands-on, etc.
The step-by-step procedure for how to get work was very clear
and detailed. Hands-on experience was very valuable - good
blend of instruction & hands-on work.
I appreciate the
fact that WCS is interested in following up on it's students'
progress and helps in that process by sending a sample to the
studios.
It was two days of
value - not just for voice-over but confidence in public
performance.
Excellent evaluations supportive with feedback for improvement
which encourages continued participation. Thank you for a
great memorable weekend.

Thanks again for
the workshop in October. Just 10 days after the weekend class
I had my first paid job. I got to be involved in a commercial,
working in a group. It was my first voice-over job! It was so
fun! Anyway, I plan on putting together my demo within the
month and marketing myself.
I just wanted to
pass on a thank you and accolade to WCS.
I have done a couple of radio spots at our local radio station
here in Olds for the company that I work for. Not that it is a
"paying gig" but because of the training and workshops that I
have taken through WCS, there is a sense of comfort in front
of the mike, being in a studio environment, proper voice, etc.
So, anyway, a huge thank you from me.
Excellent experience - class was very supportive of each
other as well as Dan. Very positive atmosphere, I felt like I
left with incredible knowledge all the while having a lot of
fun.
Great course to experiment with untapped skill or
energy. Paul brings out this untapped talent using various
scripts & feedback.
Very well organized, great teacher. Very good workshop.
There are things that we learned that can be applied to
everyday life - not just voice-over.
I enjoyed the high degree of comfort, the friendly
atmosphere. What came across was a sincere willingness to help
us accomplish what we each wanted.
The workshop was fun, jam packed with great information,
and the display of professionalism was first class!
The
small group setting makes it so much easier to learn because
of the individual attention.

Character Development...

I learned how to
approach the development of characters - what to do, how to
get and more.
I wish I had more!
I expected to
learn how to develop a character quickly and that I did! Fun
class.

Workshop covered a
vast amount of material and was well organized. Moreover
students had several opportunities to actually get up and read
copy.
From the moment I
walked into the workshop until the moment I left I was
learning something completely new. I found the workshop to be
very challenging and I loved that!
I enjoyed meeting
other voice actors, learning new things, challenging myself
and improving voice skills.
Commercial VO Demo...

It is wonderful to
have professionals guide others into the field of voice-over.
It was worth every penny. I am so pleased and proud of my demo
and that is thanks to this workshop and everyone involved.
Thanks for everything.
Business & Marketing for Performers...
The marketing
course really helped me, and I have been quite busy as a
result. This global thing Paul was talking about is true!
I've recently voiced for the re-election campaign for the D.A.
in Cleveland. I've done commercials for Barbados, Athens
Greece, and a whole whack for the U.S.

A real chance to practice in a very laid back & fun
way! Confidence inspiring - makes me want to go further with it!
I enjoyed doing punch-in edits; the video
read-along; only 5 other participants was good; the 2 voicer was also fun;
treating it like a gig was good.
This is a positive professional environment and I
would encourage any of my "Industry" friends to participate in any of your
workshops. Doing so would really enhance their own potential.
Reality of the "performances" - real lifework.
Frank's* input from his side of the glass wall. Opportunity to work with Frank
in his studio.
Really stretched
my abilities and learned a lot. Glenn was great and very
informative.
I enjoyed working in the music/video - great studio
- small class
I found the ongoing feedback, encouragement,
direction & professionalism of Mike & Pat** most valuable. Not only that (and
then) but the opportunity to learn from listening/watching my "workshop mates".
I can't get enough!!!
