learning environment.<br />
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 />
