I am a lifelong student, teacher and coach. I believe that we never stop learning and growing. I believe that success is something that is different for each person and that our individuality and character is our power, not our money, possessions or popularity. We have the choice every day to make our lives better, and it’s never too late to start pursuing your dreams...
Growing up in Springfield Virginia, I first developed my love for imagination and creativity when I first saw Star Wars as a young boy. Movies and music were so much a part of my life that I decided to learn as much as I could about the many sides of entertainment. I was forbidden from acting as a kid, in spite of being offered a contract at a talent agency. That stuck with me for a long time and when I was an adult I decided to pursue my creative dreams. I did find a way to teach myself how to play multiple instruments and began playing music and writing songs in bands. My journey of learning about music and production took me to both New York and Florida where I earned two associates degrees. Once I graduated I immediately left for Los Angeles California.

I am an instructional designer. I am taking this course because as soon as I started providing voiceover work with clients, as part of a podcast, and for my social media, I recieved more positive feedback than in any other area of my work. I have been listing things of note (from a learning design perspective) which this course has been excellent in as I have moved through it. Here they are: Person to person responses and contact offered- Individual Learner Support; Discussion of how those taking the course now can directly impact potential students in a positive way- Community Building; Spent a good amount of time talking genuinely to the learner as an instructor- building empathy and trust between teacher and student; Gave emotionally driven context behind the work; Offered downloadables- Scripted Text and Slides (slight room for work here- would have been better if reorganized into short sheet of takeaways- still excellent); Spoke clearly, informally, and directly to his learners in a way that makes sense for this cohort; Gave examples for each of his points to help the learner understand what he means; Provided relevant personal anecdotes and stories to exemplify; Recapped at the end! So far, I am very happy (and relieved) with this course. There is a ton of junk out there, and it is hard to trudge through it through my keen lense. This course is NOT an example. So far, it is great.

One thing that could enhance this course would be to have certain milestones assignments where an sample assignment is handed in, so there is the possibility for stronger feedback about voice over performance.

This was a most amazing course after I gave it chance. Much of what I saw in the beginning was information I had already heard, so I considered getting a refund. What changed my mind was this presenters determination and motivational methods to show students that success in VO, is very much attainable with hard work and belief in self. This presenter would be an awesome person to coach with. Definitely has authenticity for teaching. Would take another course from him, without hesitation. A real asset to Udemy! B. Paden

Great course, I learned a great deal. Thank you Michael for sharing your knowledge. As a semi retired Pastor I am starting this new adventure in Voice Over, which is both scary and exciting, but after going through the course, Michael you have encouraged me more than ever to keep growing and learning. You have given me some great tools and tips, which have already had a positive impact on my preaching and teaching, and SOON in the field of Voice Overs. Thanks again.

As a deaf person, I have always wanted to be an actress, or a Voice over actress. This course amazed me, because, it has helped me with improving my speech, and taught me alot. I told my Mom about this course and showed her a few techniques that Mr. Christopher taught, and the Mantra too. She asked me to do a pretend commercial, and she said it would make her buy the product. I was able to understand what he was saying, even with my eyes closed at 1 point, when he said to try that, even with my Cochlear implant. I look forward to taking the next course from him, and having group coaching in the future. I really enjoyed it, and I definitely will recommend this course for everyone.

Love the energy and the thoroughness. Great teacher ?? thank you for ur wisdom.
By Joel Jenkins on 11/15/2020
Part teacher, part motivational speaker, Michael is going to give you the basics of improving your voice over work but, and maybe more importantly he will give you the boost to get started. So often people will tell you that you can't, so don't even try, Michael on the other hand will tell you over and over again that you most certainly can as long as you're willing go for it. As I said before, this course will give you the basics of getting started in your voice acting journey but it will also give you a much needed hand forward, a come with me and I'll show you the path kind of feeling, which a lot of us probably need right now. I didn't know what to expect in the beginning, but I'm very happy that I took the journey. Thanks Michael.

This Course, (based on what has happened so far), seems very supportive! I think it is a great fit!
By Christina R.C. McKay, J.D. on 10/27/2020
Excellent course! I learned so much and look forward to getting into voice-over work! I feel more confident looking into this now. Thank you for all these helpful tips and exercises!
By Angelina SerranoHolland on 10/19/2020
This course is amazing :). Full of very useful information and I feel like it will help a lot in my pursuit. I feel better equipped already, even being only halfway through the course, to tackle auditions or even while making my demo:) Thank you so much.
