Who's teaching
The people giving you notes do this work themselves.
Anthony Pica
Founder, VO Journey Academy
Anthony is a full-time voice actor. He started VO Journey Academy to teach what he had to figure out the hard way: how to act on the mic, and how to run a real voice over business from a home studio.
Credits: BMW, Jeep, McDonald's, Ralph Lauren
Teaches: Marketing 101 (Tuesdays, 8pm ET) and Voice Acting 201
Gabby Nistico
Commercial voice over
Gabby has spent 25 years behind the mic and behind the scenes in advertising, casting and copywriting. She's a no-nonsense coach and a trained educator, and she'll help you find your own sound and understand how commercial work actually gets cast.
Credits: Lego, Harley Davidson, Target, Ashley Furniture, Invisalign; heard on Pandora and Spotify
Teaches: Acting (Mondays, 6pm ET)
Caesar Esturco
Sound, gear and production
Caesar is a sound engineer, sound designer, audiobook narrator and producer. He takes the “voodoo” out of mics, rooms and troubleshooting, so tech stops being the thing holding you back.
Teaches: The monthly tech class (usually a Tuesday)
Angela Ohlfest
Audiobooks and long-form narration, Head of Launch Pad
Angela is a working voice actor, audiobook narrator, YouTuber and a VO Journey alum. She started in 2018 and built a full-time business in under two years. She teaches audiobook production and long-form narration.
Credits: Over 250 audiobooks narrated and more than 5,000 clients served
Teaches: Launch Pad (Thursdays, 8pm ET)
Script Workout on Wednesdays (8pm ET) rotates between all of our coaches.
Sessions once a month
VO Journey OUTSPOKEN WOMEN (VOJOW)
Our sorority for women and nonbinary voices in voice over.

Included with CORE.

Live classes, four nights a week
Acting on Monday and Marketing 101 on Tuesday, both taught from a lesson plan. Script Workout on Wednesday, where you perform and get feedback. Launch Pad on Thursday. Plus a tech class once a month. Miss Monday, Tuesday or Thursday? The recording is in the archive. Script Workout is never recorded, so it's a safe room to take risks.
Script workouts and duets
Perform in the live script workout, get feedback on the spot, then head into breakout rooms to run scenes with other members.
Seven years of recorded classes
Every class, workshop and course we've recorded in seven years. Stuck on something at 11pm? It's probably in there.
The business side
How to quote a job, read a contract, spot a scam before it costs you, and find work on ACX, Fiverr and Upwork. Know what your work is worth.
The Discord
Post a read. Ask about your mic, your software, a rate someone offered you, or a client that feels off. Coaches and members answer, and people cheer each other on every day.
Academy Voices
Your membership includes Academy Voices, where members narrate real audiobooks once their demo is approved.
