One-on-One Coaching Lessons
I encourage you to review my policies below before booking your one-on-one session.
single lessons
These shorter sessions are great for audition situations where you need to practice and some helpful feedback on a particular read.
30 minutes is great for learning different techniques of voice over in a short period of time. It’s jam packed with information to help you learn more and grow. Great for longer reads, auditions and additional personal coaching.
A full hour is wonderful to dig into reads and more in depth practice time. If you have already completed the first 3 voice over training lessons, then this is next on your journey. A full hour is a great way to continue your voice over career education. It allows time to get to know you, your goals and customize your practice and voice training to your particular needs.

There is a 24-hour cancellation policy in order to be eligible for a make up session (Short of waking up with a cold or of course, an emergency). This is in place because it is difficult to fill a canceled slot in less than 24 hours.
Emergencies happen and life sometimes gets in the way – You get ONE “Freebie” last minute cancellation. (unless, of course, god forbid, other emergencies happen).
There ARE times where I might send you “home”. You will not be charged for that lesson.
I’m a Full Time VO and do On-Camera on occasion. This means I might have last minute sessions or out of studio auditions/Jobs which require me to reschedule. You will NOT be charged for the lesson.
No-shows or failure to notify me within 24 hours is considered a forfeited session, and you will be charged.

Read aloud 5-10 minutes a day.
Watch / Listen to TV, Radio, YouTube and any other commercials.
Rehearse copy I give you, but do not over rehearse.
