Confidently Create a Rock-Solid Plan for Your Voiceover Business
Learn the exact steps to take to build a thriving voiceover business... even if you're strapped for time
Free yourself from overwhelm once and for all, and feel confident that you're taking the right steps
When it comes to growing a voiceover business, there is a lot of noise out there. And it's really difficult to know what new "must-have" trend is truly essential for your business.
If you spend 10 minutes Googling how to get started in voiceover, you're likely to come across several "programs" claiming that you can be profitable in a matter of minutes if you just buy a cheap microphone, as well as several experts trying to scare you out of the business because they can't make money at it.
For someone who just wants to know where to start, this can be maddening!
After all, you see and hear voice actors on TV and radio commercials. You hear them on phone prompts every time you call your bank. You hear them on audiobooks, online training, your kids' toys, cartoons, podcasts, and on and on...
So, clearly, there are people booking these jobs.
And yet it's so hard to find helpful information that is affordable, reputable, and supportive.
Then, even if you do find a coach that seems to have his or her head on straight, you're faced with the harsh reality that you just don't have time to fit one more thing into your already crazy schedule.
It's frustrating because, unlike more traditional careers, there isn't a clear path laid out for you to become a voice actor. So you find yourself in a perpetual state of, "WHAT DO I DO?"

About The Creator,
Carrie Olsen

As a former e-learning developer, she brings her passion for the voiceover industry to her students through engaging, carefully crafted online courses.

When she's not in her recording booth, you can find Carrie "front porching" with her husband, Derek, and their two daughters, Amelie and Ruby.
Here’s what people are saying about the course instructor
Jamie Philo
Carrie was able to help me formulate goals, and action plans that were feasible for me
Being new to the industry, and totally immersed in the throes of stay-at-home motherhood of two kids under 3, I struggled to get my groove with balancing all of the elements needed to keep moving forward in voiceover. Carrie was able to help me formulate goals, and action plans that were feasible for me in that season of my life. Her guidance allowed me to further my business in a way I could manage. Small steady steps were incredibly helpful, as opposed to feeling overwhelmed by the daunting entirety of building a business!
Mike Baker
I walked away with a clear and specific list of action items
It was great to realize exactly where all my ad hoc voiceover career building had been effective and where it had fallen short, and I walked away with a clear and specific list of action items to move my business to the next level.
Melissa Harlow
It was the foundation of a great relationship
The best part of working with Carrie was the ability to reach out with an "emergency" question and get an immediate response that helped me get through my first directed session. It was more than just feedback, it was the foundation of a great relationship that starts with trust...and trust is what you need to be able to "let your hair down" and be vulnerable so you can REALLY learn.

P.S.
Starting my voiceover business changed my life, which is why I love sharing about it. Voiceover isn't for everyone, but I created this course for the people who are in the same spot I was in: (1) intrigued by the possibility of earning an income with voiceover work and (2) willing to put in the work to do it.
I've had ups, downs, and some amazing wins in my voiceover career. And I share takeaways from those experiences that you can implement in this course.
Growing my voiceover business has been an education. I'm thrilled to be able to share that education with you through this course.
