Everybody's Talking About Voice Over!

While Covid-19 may have had a huge impact on the entertainment industry, closing theaters and planned productions around the country, the voice over industry has been booming. I’ve always had an interest in voice over, having recorded for mainstage productions back in college, but I never had the proper equipment to do it all on my own. This past December, I decided to invest in myself, purchasing a Shure SM7B microphone, Focusrite interface, and other equipment needed to set up a home studio. These past two weeks, I’ve been working with Josh Cahn and eight other students on Zoom to hone my voice over and audio editing skills.

When I first started the course, I didn’t know what to expect. I hoped we’d discuss the voice over industry in depth, talk about self branding, editing, and technique, but I never would have imagined I’d learn as much as I did in such a short time. We covered the whole gambit from technological terminology, point-to-point websites, specific editing plug-ins, voice over technique, and more. I couldn’t be happier with the progress I’ve made from the beginning of class to the end, and I look forward to diving into voice over more in the future.

If you’re someone who’s been interested in voice over, specifically commercial VO, I couldn’t recommend Josh’s course through The Growing Studio enough. He’s a great guy who’s there for his students and wants to see them grow; always willing to answer any of their questions. Should you decide to take his course, tell him I say, “Hi,” and let me know what you think. I certainly enjoyed it, and I couldn’t be more excited to see where my voice over journey takes me.
