3 audiobooks in a month
"I won my third audiobook of the month!"
Merrie Lynn Eaker · member, September 2026
Live classes on Zoom, four nights a week, taught by working voice actors.
More than 190 of our narrators have published over 750 audiobooks through Academy Voices.
Every member gets free access to Academy Voices, where our narrators record real audiobooks for real authors. Press play on a few.
A real moment from Thursday's Launch Pad class with Angela Ohlfest, the class you start in.
That's how every class works: you read, you get a note, you read again. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are recorded, so you can watch it back.
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.
In our July 2025 member check-in, 54 of the 80 members who answered told us they'd booked paid voice work in the previous six months.
"I won my third audiobook of the month!"
"My 2nd audiobook was released on Audible, with my 3rd in production now!" Then the author of his first book referred him directly, with 7 projects to take to audio.
"I have basically finished building the new studio, now officially dubbed 'The Barn', and I'm starting production on Bigger Than the Bag."
No sales call. The prices are right here. Every plan is month to month, so move up, down or out whenever you like.
Join, come to class, and see how it feels. If it isn't for you, email us within 30 days of your first payment and we'll refund it in full. No questions asked.
One week every month, we open our live classes to guests. It's not a webinar, a replay or a pitch. You sit in on the same classes our members take, with the same coaches.
Save my seatThe people giving you notes do this work themselves.
Full-time voice actor (BMW, Jeep, McDonald's, Ralph Lauren).
25 years in advertising, casting and copywriting. Heard for Lego, Harley Davidson and Target.
A VO Journey alum. Over 250 audiobooks narrated.
Sound engineer, audiobook narrator and producer. Runs the monthly tech class.
Every price we charge is on this page. There's no sales call and no hidden "next level" pitch. You can move plans or cancel from your account any time, and if it isn't for you in the first 30 days, email us and we'll refund your first payment.
AI is taking some of the cheapest, fastest jobs. It isn't replacing performers who can act, take direction and run a business, and that's what we train. We also teach you to protect your voice, with AI clauses in contracts and knowing what to sign and what not to.
No. Voice over needs every age and every kind of voice. Audiobooks in particular need mature, warm, real voices. What matters is learning to act with the voice you have.
YouTube can tell you what to do. It can't listen to your read and tell you what to change. Here you read live, get notes from working voice actors, and read again, every week. That's the part that makes you better.
Some do, some don't, and we'll be straight with you. Most books on Academy Voices are royalty share, where you earn a cut of sales. Some pay per finished hour. Either way you get published work with your name on it, which helps you land the paid jobs. We won't promise you an income.
No. A lot of our members started with nothing but a phone and curiosity. Launch Pad is built for exactly that, and every class welcomes brand-new people.
Less than you think. Start with what you have. Caesar's tech class and Launch Pad will tell you what's worth buying and what isn't, so you don't waste money.
Evenings, Eastern time: Monday 6pm, Tuesday to Thursday 8pm. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are recorded. Wednesday's Script Workout isn't, on purpose, so people feel safe trying things. You also get seven years of past classes.
It's our audiobook community. Members narrate real books for real authors, with help from people who've done hundreds of them. It comes free with every plan.
From your account, any time. No call, no form.
Email us within 30 days of your first payment and we'll refund it in full. No questions asked, and no forms to fill in.
