Question:

Can anyone recommend a good voiceover coach who's willing to travel anywhere in the US?

I live in North Dakota, but willing to go halfway like Minneapolis, Kansas City, etc.

Thanks

The coaches will travel as far as you are willing to spend... and that is a lot of money.

Most serious, experienced Voice-Over coaches are in Los Angeles, and if they are true honest professionals, they will tell you, upfront, that you cannot make it in the Voice Over business without living in Los Angeles.

The very best Voice Over teachers in L.A. require that you have a referral to them through another successful V/O professional. No joke. They heavily screen their classes due to the numbers of people that want in the business.

Although I do believe you can do whatever you set your mind to... V/O is another game altogether. You must prepare yourself to train for many years before you get a break. Unless you are born into the business, or are an established star. It might be easier to become a regular on a Sitcom, really.

Voiceover is THE most competitive area of the entertainment business because it pays a fortune and, once you've made it, you can do it in your PJ's at home...
(Why do you think so many established celebs/actors are doing it?)
