  2. Pick a timeYour coach sets the time with you through their calendar link or by email.
  3. Bring somethingA script you're auditioning with, a demo you're planning, or a question about your setup or your business.
  4. Read and get notesYou read, your coach directs you, and you read it again.
Hear it for yourself

What does a note sound like?

This is Gabby in a Monday Acting class, giving one note that changes the read. In a private session you get that for a full hour, on your own script.

From Gabby Nistico's Monday night Acting class at VO Journey Academy.
Is this for you?

Who books a private session?

You don't need to be a member, and you don't need experience.

Beginners

You want one honest read on where you are before you spend money on anything else.

Getting ready for a demo

You want your reads checked by a working voice actor before you record.

Working voice actors

You're stuck on one kind of read, one audition, or one part of the business.
