Your guide to a successful career in Voice Acting

The voiceover industry suffers from everyone being a "the best in the biz". People start coaching when they've got a few years experience under their belt and there are a lot of charlatans out there. Guy is not one of these people, he really is incredibly knowledgeable. When recording my demos with Guy it was basically a coaching session too as the direction made me take reads in ways I'd never have thought of myself, and they're all the better for it. Great service, nice guy. Ha.

Voiceover Kickstart is a brilliant voiceover network - high quality training, regular events to meet with other voiceover artists and frequent opportunities to practise voiceover in a safe environment. Very good value for money and can't recommend highly enough.

Great meeting and training place for anyone at any level in their voiceover career. Very friendly and supportive and encouraging but honest and realistic too. The platform has really developed into a major resource for voiceovers.

Voiceover Kickstart has been invaluable in getting me started properly on my voiceover journey. The quality of the resources is great, the community is itself really useful, and the added extras, like the regular home studio sessions and Supercharge weeks, have been super. Guy also recorded my voice reels, which, together with VOK, have helped me to progress further and faster in my career than I expected.

Voiceover Kickstart is a great place to learn, communicate and expand your skills. Full of expert advice, tools, modules and more! Whether you are an established voice over artist or interested in learning more I would highly recommend taking the 7 day free trail and seeing how Voiceover Kickstart can help you.

Really enjoyed the process with Guy - he was very helpful and encouraging with scripts and was great during the recording session. He feels very genuine and "real" - he helped me realise what I actually need so as not to spend too much money on things that won't benefit me. I really appreciate it and am very happy with the result!

I can not recommend Guy’s services enough! He has a wealth of experience and guides you through the whole process: From the initial consultation, to sourcing material, to the brilliant direction in the session itself. I went into my session feeling totally prepared and excited to work. The session itself was fantastic, I felt completely at ease and Guy’s direction ensures that your best performance is captured. I couldn’t be happier with the finished Demos! The audio quality, editing, post production: everything is top notch! The result of a session with Guy are current, top quality demo reels that represent you and your unique voice. Thank you so much again!
