MORE SHOCKING REVELATIONS ABOUT HARLAN HOGAN’S VOICEOVER BUSINESS CLASS

Harlan Hogan and I are teaching our month-long teleseminar class, STARTING YOUR VOICEOVER BUSINESS: Everything You Need To Know To Turn Your Dream Or Your Sideline Into A Business, just once in 2010

The first class is on Monday. Registration closes this Friday.

If you’re thinking about registering, it might help you to hear more verbatim “reviews” from last year’s graduates…

Richard Caughey

“I have always been one of those folks who can do almost anything when I put my mind to it, although Motivation is sometimes lacking. That, I think is the most valuable tool looking back; I now know how to go about putting the knowledge into action.

“The last class was what I had been looking for the most, I think. The how to start, when to access legal and financial advice, and when to worry about it.

“I would like to thank both Harlan and Dan for their honest and sincere effort over the past month. Everyone must be instructed at some point in their life, in my case it seems to be an ongoing thing, but no one was born with all of the knowledge that is necessary to be successful. Thanks again for the push in the right direction.”

Tracey Buchholz

“Just wanted to thank you both for such a fabulous class.  It went above and beyond my expectations! You covered so much material, answered all of our questions and did it in such an engaging and enjoyable way.

“The bonus calls were fantastic, as well. And then, to have Jeffrey Fisher take the time to analyze our voices and give us his professional recommendations …that was just invaluable, too! There truly was so much offered to the students taking part in this class.

“I look forward to checking out the Facebook page regularly….thanks for setting that up, as well. Thanks again for such a wonderful learning experience.

“Now, I just need to take action. As Harlan says, ‘The work of voiceover work is getting the work!'”

Keith Filges

“I really enjoyed the info from the class. I did miss one class, but I loved the mp3 downloads so I was able to listen later. I learned that a lot of the stuff I did at the beginning of my career was actually dead on to what Harlan said to do, at least MOST of the things I did where dead on… a few things I messed up on but I guess I did OK setting up what I’m doing now.

“For the past 27 years I’ve been working at a pretty popular recording studio in St. Louis and I do all right getting the work; but the reason I took the class was that I want to try new things, i.e, getting more agency representation so that I can do more out of town work. So, now with the info I have I feel pretty confident on approaching new possibilities down the road.”

Linda Ristig

“Putting my faith in you both to deliver a realistic look at the world of VO’s was the very best investment of my time and money! These last four weeks have given me so many revelations, beyond the voice training technique and sound booth issues I’d been focused on.

“When Harlan mentioned last night about the elements of my new business being like an upside-down pyramid, something clicked inside of me. If the smallest amount of time is spent as the ‘performer,’ why was I spending so much of my time crafting it, to the total exclusion of thinking about the big picture?

“The ‘entrepreneur’ fledgling spirit in me was pinning too much hope in the P2P sites. I now see how important it is to self-market. Today, I’m shifting my focus to researching and contacting potential clients.

“My biggest stumbling block was the ‘management’ piece. If I begin to make contacts, how do I keep track of that effectively? The two sessions this week answered those questions. I’ve already looked up the two software programs discussed, and am enrolled in a teleseminar this afternoon for using ACT!

“You both stepped out of your daily routines to share what you know with us in such a respectful, candid, and thoughtful way. I want to express my thanks and gratitude for your time and energy. You thought of so many details, not just within the framework of the curriculum, but also by adding extra valuable sessions, to handouts, to mp3’s, to making a Facebook group, to live Q&A of the content.  You gave me far and away more than I ever gave you!

“The only final comment I want to share with you is this. Although everyone’s story for developing their opportunities is ‘situational,’ I now understand the concept that the real work behind VO is ‘getting the work.’ I truly listened and will take action!

“PS- Thanks for answering all my questions during the Q&A’s! The entire teleseminar experience was incredibly meaningful.”

Tom Verba

“Great course, Harlan & Dan!

“Class outline piqued my curiosity, answered many questions, allayed some fears. With some trepidation I took a chance and signed up. I’m glad I did.

“This course is a terrific nuts and bolts manual for starting a voice over business.

“The late start here in the East was a drag for me, but I committed to listening live. The Bonus Sessions were a real plus. Worth the extra time expended. I did listen to all three hours of Jeffrey Fisher’s voice evaluations. I gained knowledge about potential competitors for VO work (classmates). Though my recording was done at a professional recording studio, Jeff’s comments influenced my selection of home studio equipment. Your referrals to books and websites were invaluable.

“In the immortal words of Yogi Berra, “If you come to a fork in the road…pick it up”. Now I will run with it. . . . Hopefully, I won’t poke my eye out.”

Melissa Freeman

“I adored the entire four weeks!!

“Toward the end of the class, I had asked you both ‘what next’…or how can we decompress post class after all the rush of wonderfully well-organized, smooth flow of substantively specific information, consistently faithful MP3’s and reminders of each class, well laid-out study guides, thrilling and bonus classes and was poised to extol its virtues when recording suddenly stopped — I’d actually felt rather numb. So naturally, I acted upon your suggestion and went straight to Facebook to check out the posts.

“As with each of the four Question/Answer sessions, the final night’s class clarified several questions I’d had about getting an agent and throughout the entire evening, I took notes (as is my practice) on all of your answers provided to questions posed by the students. Both of you are very entertaining and this is what also makes it just such a delight to be involved. I am totally aware of the fact that I was a part of something very special during these past four weeks.

“This was by far the best voice-over class, best seminar, best all around course in a creative field, period. It simply WAS more than I had anticipated an experience rare and adventurous into deeper look at what makes a successful business in voice-overs tick.

“What was totally refreshing is the crispness of the presentation, topics and details covered; I loved the nicely designed Study Guides too! The follow-up with a subsequent Q & A class dedicated solely to the previous night was great, and the entire class format was consistent and did not deviate or become randomized or lose ground and time retracting steps or jumping ahead on topics that were ahead in the course.

“The hands-on approach — despite its being  held via telephone — was totally beneficial and the nature and type of assignments really put us though our paces in the research and analysis of genres of voicing, branding, competition and I-net casting sites.

“The peak in this endeavor was being able to record ourselves and receiving a critique of our sound in handling the mic and our studio set-up and any hardware and/or software problems if any by a super expert in the field, Jeffrey Fisher. A wealth of help and fascinating information was bestowed upon us in those two hours of listening to all the students overseen by Jeffrey’s meticulous review with his highly perfected skill and talent for hearing everything and detecting a probable source for an anomalous noise etc.

“I also so appreciated the generous, valuable and incredibly interesting bonus classes; they were totally unexpected and they were phenomenal!

“I cannot thank you both enough for your hard work and dedication in coming up with such a winning, motivating course in voice-overs. More than that it certainly has given me more tools, wisdom and savvy, as well as to give me a huge push forward along the journey with preparedness — I wouldn’t have had as much confidence to move forward without the knowledge AND experience I’ve gained from the class. I would NOT have begun to set up a website yet, and it would certainly not be as far along as it is!

“Your Voice-Over As A Business class has reaffirmed my aspiration to be successful in this field. I am a creative person, I liked being in the animation; I even had a skirmish with doing some character voices at one point and now I am totally dedicated to striving to become a part of another really wonderful group of creative, talented people…Voice-Over People!

“Thank you, thank you so much again Dan and Harlan! They say that the number Five represents ‘change’, ‘celebration’ and ‘adventure’… and in the month of May, this Voice-Over Class was all that. (And more.)”

Elizabeth Stuart

“This class has been extremely informative. There was a considerably large amount of info, which I do appreciate. I will have to listen to the classes over again and study my notes and assignments.

“Thank you so much for your time and information. I had no idea you and Harlan had never provided this course prior! I’m even more satisfied with the fact that I gave you guys a chance, because there are a lot of hack-job ‘turn key’ classes out there. I’m never so quick to hand my money over for any reason. Harlan’s initial write up about the class convinced me that this was not another one of those types of classes.”
