I just finished taking Brian Plocharczyk’s Voiceover for the Professional Actor class. I had
recently changed agents and my new agent wanted me to have a little more training before
they were ready to represent me on their V/O roster.
This was EXACTLY the right class for me – I had a solid foundation but needed a little more time in the booth and some guidance from a pro who’s been working successfully in the field for years. Coming out with professionally edited tracks from our sessions at CRC, feedback from one of the best V/O agents in town, and exposure to a wide variety of copy that we’d be
thrown in the field gave me the tools that I needed.
Less than a week after finishing the class and after hearing my tracks from CRC (and another go at their internal audition sides), my agent added me to their V/O roster and started sending me auditions that same day. I cannot recommend this class highly enough.
