PHASE 2: TRAINING & DEMO
Your most competitive voice over genres were assessed in phase 1 (the Evaluation Placement Program).
        ...Now it's time to make it happen:


Part 1: Voice Over Private Training
Your goals will dictate the directions of these private, one-hour long sessions, and what techniques and vocal training your producer employs to get you up to speed.

And because these sessions are private, take the opportunity to experiment with new styles and new techniques, without any pressure. Learn it in front of us… not someone who hires you.

Session notes are kept, and a clear "update" is given to you every session’s conclusion. Oh, sometimes homework too. Approximately 3,000 practice scripts are included.


Part 2: Audition Training Workshops
Fabulous training, and included in most packages. Choose the one(s) best for you:

     ACT-UP! - technique training
     The Ringer - blunt audition training

When are these best? Towards the end of your private training sessions, yet before your demo.


Part 3: Demo Preparation
A fabulous voice alone won't cut it. Preparation can make an enormous difference in the marketability of your voice over demo. And determining the most marketable material for you is the objective of this one-hour long session.


Part 4: Demo Recording
"Intense and Marketable." Comments like this get you noticed. And that is a major reason why voice over demos produced and recorded at Edge Studio get people work.

Demo recording sessions are scheduled extra long, so there is no reason to rush or feel pressured. We:
      review material and make any last minute changes
      ensure you are comfortable in front of the microphone
      record and re-record...as many takes as necessary with serious direction. Need we say more?

Music, sound effects, editing, MP3, and CD are included.

     ISDN/PHONE-PATCH PRIVATE TRAINING SESSIONS

This prepares you for recording sessions where the producer produces via telephone (which occurs in an estimated 30% of productions).


     PRIVATE TRAINING SESSIONS
Private training sessions are 1-hour. These are offered via telephone and in-studio.


     DEMO PREPARATION

     DEMO PRODUCTION
Demo Production includes everything you need: production, editing, mixing, music, sound effects, digital studio archive, master CD, MP3, studio time, and of course...a fun and educational time. It generally takes up to 1.5 hours to record your voice. Afterwards, we spend numerous hours completing your demo.
