Beginner or Expert: which track fits you?
Five questions. You can take either track, and Anthony confirms it with you before you start.
What happens each week?
There are two tracks, Beginner and Expert, and you can take either. Every session is one hour. Anthony follows the plan closely or changes it to fit you, because every voice actor is different.
