🎧 How do I get the lowest price?
Enter a code for a discount price below (one is provided if you don't have one), and then choose your options under "GET A LOWER PRICE HERE".
We provide the Voice Acting Expo at our cost. It's why we get tons of referrals from agents and studio owners in the biz—many of whom come to train you at the Voice Acting Expo
🎧 How much experience do I need?
No experience necessary. We have recorded thousands of sessions with beginners at the Voice Acting Expo. Although we do have tracks for pros, most attendees to the Voice Acting Expo are beginners.
🎧 How much of the day is actual training?
The entire day is continuous workshops. You will be recording on mic 1-on-1 with a pro coach, auditing voiceover sessions, in industry knowledge workshops or skill-building workshops ALL day until the question-and-answer session at the end of the day.
While you will be given time to eat, there is not time to go out and get food. (So bring a lunch or have us put one aside for you.)
🎧 How long are the recording sessions?
Each additional recording session you choose costs less, and is longer than the previous one, up to five sessions total. The longest sessions are nearly 20 minutes. So the best deal for getting the most recorded coaching sessions is 5 or more.
But if you're new, spend less! You're in workshops all day regardless if they are recording sessions (you choose whether you are recorded via options). We recommend no more than 4-6 recorded sessions if you're brand new to voiceover.
Note that if you choose 6, 7 ,8 or 9 sessions, each of those is a private 1-on-1 with a coach and session engineer. We provide those options more for working voiceover pros.
🎧 Do I keep my audio? How do I get a demo?
All audio is yours to keep forever, no matter what options you choose.
If you'd like us to turn samples of your audio into commercials you can share with agents and potential clients, just choose the number of demo tracks you'd like us to make for you under step 2 below.
🎧 What should I do to get ready?
It's okay to just show up! We'll have everything ready for you.
However, if you want to prepare, you can read more about voice acting or vocal delivery . And we suggest you bring a water bottle if you have one (we'll have water for you too) and a vitamin if you take them—it's a long, fun and intense day!
But please do take a moment and complete the survey on the next page after you register—we need what workshops you want!
🎧 Will I learn how to get animation work? Get an agent? Work online? Set up a home studio? Do commercials? Audiobooks? Corporate voiceover? Promos?
All of these options and more are available: Choose your options below and your day will be customized to YOUR goals. We will put you with the coaches, scripts and workshops to help you with YOUR specific goals. Learn about the topics YOU are most interested in.
🎧 How soon can I get voiceover work?
While several talent every year do find work or an agent at the Voice Acting Expo, this is designed as a training event where you get coached by top pros in the industry.

(When you're ready to choose options, scroll down to where it says "GET A LOWER PRICE HERE" and apply a discount code and then choose your options).
The most valuable workshops are when you work live on-mic with a pro coach and engineer recording voiceover (all audio is yours to keep).
You can choose up to NINE of these live recorded coaching sessions. The more you choose, the more expensive your ticket will be (we have to pay for coaches, engineers, equipment, etc.).
For beginners, we recommend NOT more than six sessions. So what happens when you are not in a live on-mic recorded session? You will be doing one of the following:
Listening to coaches demonstrate voiceover session and acting technique in live sessions with talent
Building skills in acting, session, script analysis, home practice or vocal delivery.
Learning the latest info about different segments of the industry
Customizing your business, training and work plan
In a Q&A session with industry pro and eating free pizza
So the more live recording sessions you choose, the fewer of these kind of workshops you will be in. Choosing five recorded sessions is both the best deal per-minute of live recorded training, and gives the most of the other other skill-building and info workshops.
However, most Expo attendees say afterwards they wish they had more time on mic, so if it is not a budget issue for you, choose six sessions. Here's a comparison depending on how many live recorded sessions you choose::
FOR THOSE ON A STRICT BUDGET:
TWO: Half day only. A great way to find out more on a budget, get a little experience and a couple of recordings.
THREE: Three or more sessions are all full-day tickets. Not the best deal per-minute of live recorded training, but much better than two, and a jam packed day of workshops for anyone on a budget.
RECOMMENDED FOR NEW TALENT:
FOUR: Only $25 more than three, but a much better deal per-minute of live training.
FIVE: Five or six sessions are the best deal per-minute of live recorded training , and our recommendation if you're new to voiceover.
SIX: Includes a private 1-on-1 live recorded training session (a ll sessions from 6–9 are private 1-on-1's).
RECOMMENDED FOR ADVANCED OR RETURNING TALENT:
SEVEN to NINE: You'll spend more time on mic, work with up to NINE coaches, and spend less time in skill-building and info workshops.
