I had been in AFTRA and was hoping to get back in with my voiceover work and this info has given me a whole new optimism about making that possibility happen!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thanks so much for being so generous with your knowledge &#8211; it&#8217;s worth five times what I&#8217;ve paid up to now and I am definitely going to put everything I&#8217;ve learned into action!&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Renee Geiger<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Harlan and Dan: Thank you for the time and effort you placed into this educational opportunity. Each week I was able to learn something new, even if the subject was something already familiar. The teleclass was easy to follow (great voices, great documentation), assignments kept me focused on the goal, and the Q&amp;A and bonus calls all contributed to a very worthwhile experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Joe Fedele<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Thanks so much for offering Starting Your Voiceover Business. This is a class that I would recommend to anyone of my friends inside and outside radio who want to establish their own voiceover business. You really broke the parts of the business down into bite size sections that were easy to understand and made them a lot less overwhelming. Even the &#8216;asides&#8217; and stream of consciousness comments were full of great information.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know that the road to this successful business will be tough, but this step by step approach gives us a great roadmap!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Heather Jane Hogan<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Every week I am more and more impressed with the knowledge you guys have of this business. If only one of you were teaching, this would be a great course, BUT because you&#8217;re both teaching it simultaneously, the synergistic information makes this course a cut above the rest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Scott Lucas<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;As this class winds to its conclusion, I would like to send you my personal review of the class overall.\u00a0 It is important to explain my &#8216;situation&#8217; and background so you can better appreciate my perspective.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I came to this class without any professional voiceover experience, very little technical know-how, almost non-existent training and no real idea of what it took to start and maintain a voiceover business. The only elements I did bring to this course were a deep thrill and love for the use of a talent and some innate abilities to read copy. In other words, I believe I could be the most unprepared and inexperienced student of your course.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In regards to your original goals, (to guide and help students learn the first steps necessary in this unique business), I believe you have succeeded incredibly. Rarely does one find a class that is more direct, candid, forthright, honest, information rich, practical, selfless and useful as yours has been. And the mp3 recordings of each class will become an invaluable resource in the near future. As my knowledge increases and my skills enhance, I will be able to listen once again with a renewed vigor to all the classes we held. <span style=\"font-size: 130%;\">I absolutely feel my feet have been planted on firm soil, and I actually know where to take my first thoughtful steps as I begin to make a dream a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you for your well prepared and meaningful course. Action truly is the key, even if it is a small step (learning computer skills, networking potential clients, meeting other VO professionals, etc.) if taken continually you will arrive at your destination. Thank you again, for the inspiration and information.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">John Watts<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;This class has been the best and also the scariest step I&#8217;ve taken toward my VO career. This has been an enlightening course. I have a lot of work to do. I have learned a LOT and I plan on putting it into motion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Ashley Huyge<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>(From an email we received earlier this month&#8230;.}<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m very sorry to have missed the tele-seminar reunion you held, but I would love to tell you where I am now and how your class helped to make that possible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I took your class last year I was living in Upstate New York, having graduated from SUNY New Paltz with a degree in theatre arts. I had been checking out tele-seminars and things like that because traveling to study VO was a bit out of my price range, and most of the people in my area didn&#8217;t even know what VO was, so trying to study it was pretty tough. I had decided that I was going to move to NYC, live with friends and get my feet on the ground so I could study VO and start getting to work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, then I took your class, and hearing Harlan mention Los Angeles really resonated with me. I had an interest in animation VO and I really liked the idea of living somewhere much warmer. So I decided that I&#8217;d give Los Angeles a try instead.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A couple weeks after I moved, I landed an internship with a recording studio. I believe it was your suggestion, Dan, that looking for volunteer work in a studio was a great way to gain experience, and I can&#8217;t tell you how right you were. I worked with some pretty cool people and through happy circumstance, I have been fortunate enough to be added to the roster of a non-union agency based in Los Angeles. I&#8217;ve been auditioning regularly with them and I&#8217;ve even voiced a couple jobs with them. I&#8217;ve been extremely fortunate in my big move out West.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now, I believe that we are the masters of our decisions and no one can make us do anything, but I know that I wouldn&#8217;t have considered moving to Los Angeles if I hadn&#8217;t taken the class you and Harlan taught and I&#8217;d like to thank you both. You had a lot of powerful insight into marketing, auditioning and the business of VO that was of particular value to someone like me who is just starting out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>(Note: To pursue a voiceover career, you do NOT need to move to Los Angeles.) <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More Verbatim Reviews From Last Year&#8217;s Starting Your Voiceover Business class John Pellegrini &#8220;WOW is the only way I can sum up this last night as well as all the nights of the past 4 weeks that I have spent listening to your combined wisdom in this industry!
