This guide to online voice acting classes will help you understand more about how to choose the right voice acting class for you. In recent years, e-learning has grown and become an established learning solution. Not only has e-learning transformed how people learn, but it has made learning more affordable.
In simple terms, an online voice over class now offers a far richer and more engaging learning experience than a physical classroom environment. Furthermore, online learning is a great way to fit learning into your busy life because it is self-paced. Finally, as a learning environment, you are supported by a full range of resources, a forum and ongoing mentoring.
However you go about learning a new skill, you need passion, discipline and focus to succeed. Sometimes though, keeping up the momentum and passion can be hard. Often there are hurdles to overcome as you learn a new skill. At Gravy For The Brain, we recognise that newcomers need moral and emotional support. We have a 360-degree approach to helping people learn voice acting. For this reason, we have a strong network in place to help you at every stage.

TYPES OF ONLINE VOICE ACTING CLASSES
Almost all online companies that offer voice acting classes do it based on their studio experience. In other words, they build a course as though they were going to train a group of people in a studio. However, online learning is different. Using a blend of techniques, you can deliver a much richer learning environment online. For example, we use animations, videos, slides, audio, interactive quizzes and downloadable resources. Given this mix of media, we produce online voice acting classes that have set a new standard in the voice over industry.
At Gravy For The Brain, we immerse ourselves in the many different ways people learn as well as the tools they need to help them. We have many years of studio training, but for online voice acting classes, we started with a blank sheet. We wanted to develop and deliver the best possible learning experience for our customers.
The result of our work is that we have developed a massive range of tools, tips, techniques and voice acting classes. Moreover, we offer support and mentoring to help you at every step.
Subsequently, we now offer a range of online voice over classes that are unique. You will not find anything like our range of courses anywhere else.
AN OVERVIEW OF RUNNING A VOICE ACTING BUSINESS.
From time to time setting up your business can become daunting, maybe stressful. There is so much to think about. Of course, for most people, their biggest priority is to earn money. Certainly earning is critical. Nevertheless, you have to get the foundations of your business in place to ensure you work smart not just hard.
It’s almost a chicken and egg situation. If you don’t develop your skills, you can’t get work. If you don’t get work, you end up running out of money and time to develop your skills.
At the start of a voice over career, you need lots of help. That’s why we provide you with voice over mentoring as well as online voice acting classes. For instance, we have regular open webinar mentoring sessions hosted by a relevant expert. In these mentoring sessions, you can ask questions specifically about any problems you are facing. In addition to this, we give you lots of resources to get on top of the business side quickly. More importantly, we quickly focus you on how to turn auditions into work.
Here is a list of the voice acting skills you need to cover as you build your brand in this exciting and varied industry.
- Voice skills.
- Pronunciation.
- Breathing.
- Acting.
- Script interpretation.
- Audio recording.
- Audio editing and production.
- Branding.
- Customer Relationship Management.
- Email Marketing.
- Social Media Marketing.
- Selling.

Whilst there are lots of other topics, this list helps you an overview of just some of what we offer at Gravy For The Brain.
GRAVY FOR THE BRAIN ONLINE VOICE ACTING CLASSES.
Gravy For The Brain was founded by Hugh Edwards and Peter Dickson. Between them, they have incredible credentials within the voice acting industry that demonstrate their professional standing. As an example, Hugh is an award-winning voice director and casting director. Furthermore, Hugh has worked on over 220 games, films and television shows and is also a BAFTA judge.
Notwithstanding Hugh’s profile, we have the famous Peter Dickson who is known to millions simply as “Voiceover Man”. Peter Dickson is the best-known and most sought-after voice talent in the UK and arguably the world.
Why is this important?
Well, the voice over industry has two sides like many other industries.
In the first place, think of voice acting as having a supply side (the talent) and a demand side (people who hire talent).
Peter Dickson is a leading voice over who has built an astonishingly successful career. With Peter’s expertise and experience, we have the supply side covered. Likewise, Hugh has a portfolio of work that demonstrates his notoriety as one of the best voice directors in the industry. Consequently, we have expertise on the demand side, in other words how to get work covered from both sides.
Hugh knows what hirers look for in voice talent and what they look for when searching for voice talent. On the other hand, Peter knows how to build a solid, successful and long-standing voice over business.
With this powerful combination, you are getting the full range of industry experience and insider knowledge from true experts. Together they give you the tips and techniques that would normally take you years to learn.
