![]() We have two divisions… Development and Working Proĭevelopment Division begins with our 6-week introductory course – “You Should Do Voiceover” It’s a hands-on, hearts-in comprehensive overview and little taste of all the ways your voice can be making money. People who have never performed in their lives and are exploring new avenues of themselves, and those who have been doing it forever and are looking to diversify their income revenue streams. We have a dojo member who is a sophomore in college and one who is a retired judge… We recently had two ER doctors and the star of the Broadway cast of Phantom of the Opera in one class. ![]() The Dojo is home for people from all walks of life who come together to apply the mastery they have from other experiences in life to the medium of VoiceOver…singing, music, acting, stand up…. Dojo community is one of the most dynamic, diverse, and vibrant groups you will find… What is VO Dojo community like, and can you tell us about the courses/programs the students go through at V.O. colleagues who have come up together and have been riding the waves of our sustained successful careers since! Pat Fraley took me under his wing as I was starting at my first agency Sue Blu, who wrote the first book I read on V.O., also directed my first animation series! Creative Director, Rob Jamieson, cast me in some of my first campaigns when we started out and still do today! And, of course, my crew of amazing V.O. And then I did the work, studied the art form, and learned the business as I trained with the best. Through the improv scene, I met my friend Jennifer Hale (Guinness World Record holder for most prolific female video game actor), who planted the seeds and pointed the direction to the A-List V.O. I was inspired by everyone I knew from Second City who had moved to LA had incorporated VO into their success plans… Steve Carrell, Jane Lynch, Dan Castellaneta…asked them all the questions and acted on their advice. Shortly after that, I moved to LA and was on fire to make this my way of life. I came into the session on a whim and left with a mission (and a nice paycheck that came in the mail a few weeks later). ![]() before, but I had all of the ingredients…I was a recent Northwestern University theatre grad, a trained Opera singer, working at Second City, doing regional Shakespeare. career started in my hometown, Chicago…with what I call “the helicopter” coming… a friend was a producer at Leo Burnett and said he had some radio spots he thought I’d be good on.
