So far so good. Everything is clear and easy to understand. tons of tips and tricks for getting in to the voice acting industry. There are so many interesting components to this course. I don't think i will be involved in editing but it is good know about the different editing software. i liked the pirate script that Peter made up it brought out a voice that was totally unexpected. this course is taking me to places I never thought I would be able to go. It is a short course but it is jammed packed with everything i need to know.

By Franco Visser on 5/18/2026

Wow! What a course! As someone who had no idea what voice acting entails, this course really helped me understand what is needed and what I can do to utilize my voice in order to become the best voice actor I can be. I am excited for this journey to explore all the possibilities of my voice and I hope other new voice actors also find this course to unlock a whole new world of acting.

By Tegan Johnson on 2/18/2026

The course has been great for tips at my level. I've been working on voice acting for about six months now. I was worried at first by the focus on Fiverr. I was on there for about two months and had to delete my account. It was a truly horrible experience where I got zero serious jobs and had to fend off scammers multiple times per day. It actually kind of depressed me. I've been quite happy with the rest of the course though. :-)

By Stefanos Veniamakis on 10/11/2025

Very informative course. Especially for complete beginners if you want to hot the ground running. I studied music tech so I already have all the gear I need and it's absolutely right when the actors interviewed by Peter and Katy and as they've said so themselves, don't spend a ton of money on expensive high end gear. You can upgrade later. I'm also taking advantage of the resources provided for download (books) to help with marketing and involving as well as other stuff. Will suggest to friends. Thank you Peter Thank you Katy.

I love this masterclass. I bought a mic less than a month ago and was about to dive head-first into the industry when I started getting overwhelmed with my ignorance. While not every subsection has information I can make use out of yet, I have learned something in each one so far. I have one fault with the class is that sometimes when I use the space bar to pause and play the videos, it will sometimes play multiple audios at once. Easily remedied by refreshing the page. If you are a newb to this industry like myself, this umbrella class is a fantastic gateway into entry level work for voice-over.

By Ashlea Mundy on 4/27/2024

Had a LOT of fun taking this course and really appreciate all of the examples given through each section - especially when Peter and Katy act out the exercises, lines of dialogue, or sounds. The whole course is SO well put together and it honestly an absolutely amazing place to start a V.O. journey, or to get more information to help your existing voice acting career. Not only did I have an absolute blast trying out the exercises and different tips, my confidence in truly beginning my V.O. career has increased immensely! I no longer feel like I'm going in blind, backwards, and uniformed, and have gone from feeling anxious to EXTREMELY excited and hopeful about the whole voice over prospect! Thank you SO much, Peter, Katy, and the whole Voiceover Masterclass team! All of the time, skill, knowledge, and energy you put into helping people is absolutely, soulfully appreciated! I 100% recommend this course, and I'm so excited to take more courses from Voiceover Masterclass in the future!

By Richard Coyne on 10/18/2023

I personally thought the course was extremely informative and just right for me as a beginner trying to get started from scratch. Only minor improvement/addition I would've liked is maybe just a few more follow along exercises and just some more downloadable learning materials. I've already purchased the audiobook course and feel very eager and motivated to complete that one. Amazing beginners course. Thank you very much Peter and the rest of the crew. Yours kindly, Richard.

By Russell Chalton on 2/25/2023

For the price, this course was fantastic. I particularly liked the interviews with other working character voice artists. I would like to have seen more acting-related coaching, perhaps instead of some of the more general VO topics such as microphone selection & software demos. Overall, I highly recommend this course.

By Priscilla Vasquez on 1/3/2023

As a complete beginner, I found this class very helpful. They did a great job of explaining everything. I highly recommend it for anyone starting out. HOWEVER, I do think think the title and description need to be adjusted. I joined this class thinking it would teach me how to change my voice, etc.. but it barely touched up on it. I did join another one of this teacher’s classes and it seems to be what I was looking for, but again, with the title and description I thought it was something else.

By Courtney Boyce on 10/31/2022

I'm really enjoying the course. The only feedback I have is that some topics are brought up within other topics and this is confusing. For example, if how to make money being a voice over artist is the topic, then all tips for this should be within that module. When tips for how to make money as a voiceover artist are found in other modules, I'm having to go back and forth to make notes and I may not remember exactly which module a certain topic pertained to.
