Your Questions, Answered
-
Maybe. No one can promise that — and anyone who does is lying or guessing.
Voiceover is subjective, competitive, and inconsistent. People who work long-term tend to share a few traits: they train seriously, tolerate rejection, invest in their skills, and don’t look for shortcuts. If that sounds like you, you’re already ahead of most.
If you’re looking for certainty or validation, this probably isn’t the right field — or the right coach.
-
Put simply, and in this order:
Get coached
Build real performance skill
Produce a professional demo
Pursue representation when you’re ready
The order matters. Skipping steps usually costs more time and money later.
If you want to see whether working together makes sense, start with a consult.
-
Your demo is your calling card. It’s the first — and often only — impression agents and buyers get.
Yes, it’s an investment. But compared to most businesses, it’s a relatively small one. The mistake is making it too early or doing it cheaply and having to redo it.
-
You probably can. You shouldn’t.
If you wouldn’t shoot your own headshot, don’t produce your own demo. Most agents expect professionally produced demos, and they can hear the difference immediately.
Doing it twice is more expensive than doing it right once.

I work with performers at all stages — from people brand new to voiceover to seasoned professionals.
My approach is practical, clear, and supportive. Sessions are structured to help you understand the work, not just repeat notes or chase surface-level fixes.
If you’re curious, open to direction, and willing to put in the work, we’ll make real progress together.
-
Yes. Many people I work with are new to voiceover or coming from improv, stage or on-camera acting, or other performance backgrounds.
I’m good at breaking the work down in a way that’s accessible and grounded, without overcomplicating things or skipping fundamentals. A number of newer clients go on to secure representation and book work — but the focus is always on building a solid foundation first.
-
If we don’t already know each other, start with a consult.
I work one-on-one and take on a limited number of clients. Fit matters. I’m selective — and I expect you to be, too.
-
I don’t care if you’re brand new or deeply experienced.
I work best with people who:
Take direction
Are willing to hear uncomfortable notes
Show up prepared
Treat this like a real job
Talent matters. Attitude matters more.
No jerks.

Coaching is via Zoom.
Demo recording can be done in person in Los Angeles or remotely via Source-Connect.

Ask yourself this:
If you got an audition tomorrow for a national commercial or a major animated role, could you deliver a competitive read without excuses?
If yes — let’s talk about scheduling a demo.
If not — coaching or a group class is the smarter move.Rushing a demo doesn’t speed up your career. It usually delays it.
-
Yes.
You’ll work with dozens of directors over your career. Learning to adjust quickly to different voices and styles is part of the job. I’m happy to recommend other coaches in LA or NYC when it makes sense.
