I owe it all to AVOJ Academy and Academy Voices
I jumped into voiceover 2 1/2 years ago. At the time, I answered an ad for a 5 month online VO program from a school in Albany, NY. Suffice it to say, I was less than overwhelmed by the quality of instruction. I don't recall how I came upon AVOJ and AVOJ Academy Voices, but I am grateful that I did. The classes, the comradery, and the online resources have been a lifesaver for me. Technologically, I'm a Troglodyte who has learned enough on the Academy's videos to get myself into audio extremus. Fortunately, I have been able to get help quickly from other members as well as Anthony in fixing the things I have managed to mess up. Additionally, I am slowly developing acting skills, which have lain dormant since I portrayed "Slump" in the North Street School's Fifth Grade production of "Mulligan's Magic." While my progress has been slow (due entirely to my own ineptitude), I have made progress due to the quality of the resources and instruction at AVOJ and Academy Voices.

Thank you, John. From Slump in Mulligan's Magic to audiobook narrator is a real career path. I'm glad the classes and the community have helped, but the progress is yours. Keep going. Anthony
