  • 3-Week Advanced Animation VO with Darren Dunstan

    Reviewed by Addison F. on 3/20/2024
    Darren is a phenomenal teacher. Every professional voice actor I have worked with has sang his praises and it is extremely easy to see why. He goes above and beyond and really knows how to speak to all different types of personalities. I have no idea how he even finds the time to do this because this guy is ALWAYS working! Pay attention when he is working with others in your group because sometimes it's easier to hear exactly what he's talking about when you're not focusing on your own script. I went old school analogue and brought a pen and paper and by the end of the three weeks I had a lot of solid info I used on auditions. Believe it or not, I have been doing extremely well since course. If you think you've finally learned it all, you haven't. Check out Darren you won't regret it!

    Darren's class was wonderful. Absolutely loved that he played the other characters so that I could act off of him. Truly a fun time and I'll happily take it again.

    Absolutely fantastic! I learned a lot from it, and taking both this and the intro class is one really nice package. Definitely worth the cost. Darren is very positive and uplifting throughout- which is quite contagious! I tend to be very nervous, but he makes the class incredibly welcoming. My only complaint is that there aren't more classes to take haha!

  • Video Game Voice Over with Bryant Falk

    Reviewed by Angel H. on 4/28/2017
    This class was fantastic. I had some basic knowledge of audio recording but no serious knowledge of the industry and learned a lot. We got a good amount of studio time as well so it wasn't just theory and I felt that the instructor (Bryant) was very genuine about giving us constructive feedback throughout each session so that we would get better. We also met with his colleague Bruce who was just as helpful and genuine so it was a great experience overall. There were also some others who took the class who were more experienced than me and they too seemed please with it. What I found really helpful were the recordings we got of each session as I could listen back later to see what I did right/wrong and plan on using that to improve in the future if I decide to give it a whirl again.
