Voice coaching is something to approach with caution. Usually the best way to know whether it’s worth the time/money is through a referral from a trusted friend, and even then you should qualify whether your needs are the same as your friend’s.
Some coaches are so way off-the-charts in demand that you have trouble getting on their roster (Wolfson, Tobias, Horvath). OK, I shouldn’t name names, but there’s no shortage of VO coaches, and no shortage of debate about the efficacy of some operations, and whether they are a conveyor belt, flooding the market. Ya know, I’m not here to get into all that in this article.
I just wanted to throw out the following link for those who may be considering an alternative. VOCareer.com.
All I know is Gabrielle Nistico is on the staff, and one of the founders, and I’ve heard nothing but good things about her. They’ve been around for quite a while, which is a good sign. Call ’em up and ask questions. It’s the only way you’ll get answers.
Right now VOCareer is sending out the ACCELERATE flyer, and you may find something of interest there for you.
