So you want to be a Voiceover Star?
I am re-reading the most fascinating and important work about success in any given field that I have ever come across. It is "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell published by Little, Brown & Co. Not once are the words "Voice Over" ever mentioned, nor I'm sure did the term ever enter Mr. Gladwell's mind. But in re-reading the book, I realized no greater pitch for my homestudy course could possibly be written by the greatest writer in the world because of the heart of his book. Without getting in too deeply, because you must get this book, you need to put in 10,000 hours of preparation in your chosen field to attain star status. WOW! 10,000 hours...who could possibly afford to pay for 10,000 hours worth of lessons?- Bill Gates maybe (He's in the book) Let's see now, my home study course sells for $649 divided by 10,000 hours - you do the math - Thank you Malcolm Gladwell.

Feedback from July 18th Seminar
Don,
I thank you so very much for your kindness, hospitality, the coaching and wonderful chat. I learned so much during our time together that I could write a book. You made my dream come true. It was an honor and privilege to sit and converse with the man I've admired and held as a vo role model for so many years. I would love to study/work one on one with you in the future. You are the pro that I need to develop and polish whatever abilities I have. I want to do it again.
Regards,

Don's June 13th VO/Voice Acting Seminar
Don,
It was a pleasure and thrill meeting and learning from a voice over master and legend during Saturday’s seminar. You and your associates were extremely hospitable and generous in sharing experiences and knowledge. I learned a lot and I know what I need to shoot for. I’m hoping that with practice and persistence, some semblance of talent will follow. Now that I’ve dusted off and old dream and ambition, I plan to maintain the momentum. I just ordered your home study program, and I intend to immerse myself in that until I feel I’ve made satisfactory progress. At that point, I’m hoping to arrange for a one-on-one session with you to begin fine tuning.
Regards,
Mario
