While developing a career in voice overs and stagefilm-industrial<br />

acting is our primary goal, students<br />

constantly comment that techniques learned in our<br />

Frequently Asked Questions<br />

1. Where do I start?<br />

Starting Out is where you begin.<br />

The intro class is offered 10 times<br />

a year. Preregistration is suggested.<br />

Simply call, mail, fax or e-mail<br />

your payment.<br />

2. What classes should I<br />

take next?<br />

The core curriculum classes are<br />

the foundation of our voice acting<br />

program. Start with Stepping Out<br />

for the commercial and narration<br />

tracks and Creating Characters for<br />

the character track.<br />

3. What if I’m only interested in<br />

narration or characters?<br />

Start with the core classes in<br />

your area of interest then branch<br />

out into further study. Everyone<br />

should, however, attend the By<br />

The Book and Making It M.I.N.E. TM<br />

classes to solidify your voice-over<br />

technique.<br />

4. Do I really need to take the<br />

By the Book class if I’ve read<br />

Elaine Clark’s book, There’s<br />

Money Where Your Mouth Is?<br />

Absolutely! Elaine uses her 35 years<br />

of experience to guide you through<br />

the process of trusting the techniques<br />

expressed in the book by getting<br />

them out of your head and into your<br />

body. She’ll also share a lot more<br />

performance tricks that aren’t in<br />

the book!<br />

5. How important are the<br />

business and marketing classes?<br />

No matter how wildly talented you<br />

are, if no one knows you exist or you<br />

don’t know the business protocol…<br />

you’ll have a hard time making money.<br />

Building Your Business teaches you<br />

effective marketing techniques. An<br />

agent takes you Behind The Scenes<br />

of a talent agency to reveal the do’s<br />

and don’ts, financial breakdowns,<br />

and talent expectations. Positioning<br />

& Branding adds guidance to create a<br />

marketable image that’s right for you!<br />

6. What is the advantage of<br />

taking the 10-week Daytime<br />

Conservatory class over the core<br />

curriculum classes?<br />

The Daytime Conservatory is designed<br />

for students of all levels who want<br />

an overview of the business and<br />

are available during the day. Many<br />

students take this series in addition<br />

to the core curriculum classes. Others<br />

augment their learning with private<br />

lessons or attend evening or weekend<br />

classes in areas where improvement<br />

is needed.<br />

7. Should I take private lessons?<br />

Private lessons start at $150/hour and<br />

are best used after attending the Core<br />

Curriculum or Daytime Conservatory<br />

classes. Personalized lessons are by<br />

appointment only. Call or e-mail if<br />

you’re interested.<br />

8. What does it take to make a<br />

demo and when can I have one?<br />

Demos are written, recorded,<br />

produced and mixed with music<br />

and sound effects by Elaine Clark on<br />

an individual basis in our in-house<br />

recording studio. Demo production<br />

is not considered until a student<br />

has completed the core curriculum<br />

classes, taken a private lesson to<br />

evaluate skill level, or has a current<br />

demo that needs updating.<br />

9. I noticed you have improv<br />

and on-camera classes. If I just<br />

want to do voice-overs, do I<br />

need to take those classes, too?<br />

While some people only want to do<br />

voice-overs, talent agents often want<br />

to represent you on camera, too. We<br />

have classes that prepare you for stage<br />

acting, corporate industrials, film and<br />

commercials. The options are there to<br />

either deepen your acting ability or<br />

diversify your acting career.<br />

10. I don’t want to act;<br />

I just want to do voice-overs.<br />

It’s your choice whether you want to<br />

be a voice “talent” or a voice “actor.”<br />

Voice One guides you through the<br />

process of becoming an actor so that<br />

you’re not just talking from the neck<br />

up but with your whole body, soul and<br />

mind. Whether you expand into other<br />

areas of acting or stick with voice-over,<br />

you’ll learn ways to effectively perform.<br />
