If you’ve always been curious about voice acting and voiceover (VO) but don’t know where to start, BRAVA’s Foundation Course is designed for you.

Taught by BRAVA’s CEO and principal coach, Melissa Thom, this low-cost, accessible group course is the perfect introduction to the art and business of VO, giving you a solid introduction to the foundational skills, techniques, and knowledge you’ll need in order to take your next steps with confidence.

Whether you’re completely new to VO, coming from acting, broadcasting, marketing, advertising, or another creative discipline, or even an experienced VO artist who has never undertaken any specific training, this course offers a friendly, live, and bespoke learning experience.

What to expect

Over three live, interactive online sessions, you’ll:

• Learn how the VO industry works: genres, opportunities, and challenges
• Get to grips with basic script analysis – one of the core skills of any voice actor
• Learn key foundational theory and techniques, laying the groundwork for your craft

You’ll also get a taste of BRAVA’s professional, personalised coaching style. By the end of the course, you’ll know exactly what’s involved in taking your training further.

This course also serves as your direct entry into Stage 1: Narration – our intensive one-to-one coaching programme that prepares you to record your first professional narration demo and enter the market.
