Description

In this course, you will learn advanced techniques and strategies that will put you ahead of the competition. These are the exact same systems and techniques that professional engineers use to produce broadcast and film quality voice overs.

Not only that but by using the techniques that you will develop in this course, you can produce great voice overs every time (without fail) and in half the time.

In this course, you will learn how to improve the quality of your voice overs to get more clients, make more sales or grow your audience.

After taking this course, you will have learned the following:

  • Record voice overs that sound 10x better than the rest
  • Avoid that frustrated feeling you get every time something goes wrong or your voice over doesn’t sound good (and you just can’t figure out why)
  • Get an edge of the competition by producing professional, high quality voice overs
  • Cut the entire recording/processing process in half by using proven techniques and systems for increased efficiency
  • Get an amazing sound at the source that you can sculpt to perfection with editing and mixing (rather than spending all your time just trying to fix it)
  • Make money as a voice over talent for films, audio books, presentations, informational videos and more (it’s quite achievable to earn $70+ per hour on UpWork or a similar outsourcing website – take a look for yourself, just search ‘voice over’)
  • Turn your normal recording location into a professional voice over studio.
  • Learn how to use high end equipment and hardware to get the best sound possible
  • Discover the secrets to professional quality voice overs, such as gain staging, parallel processing, advanced compression, subtractive EQ, limiting and more.
  • Take yourself to the next level in voice over quality in the shortest time possible
  • Build upon your current knowledge about voice recording and get out the rut that you’re stuck in (you’re limited by your own knowledge and lack of awareness of professional mixing techniques)

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
