3 audiobooks in a month
“I won my third audiobook of the month!”
Merrie Lynn Eaker · member, September 2026
Launch Pad is a live class every Thursday. You read, a coach gives you one note, and you read it again.
“I won my third audiobook of the month!”
“My 2nd audiobook was released on Audible, with my 3rd in production now!”
“I have basically finished building the new studio, now officially dubbed ‘The Barn’, and I’m starting production on Bigger Than the Bag.”
823 audiobooks published through Academy Voices, our own production company, including new books from today's authors. Launch Pad includes a free Academy Voices membership, so you can audition for them.
It's rarely the voice. It's usually one of these.
It isn't talent you're missing. It's an order to do things in, and someone who has cast real projects telling you what to fix next.
You always know what you're working on, and what comes next. You move on when you're ready.
Get a clean sound in the space you have and make your first honest read. Learn where the work actually is, and how to look after your voice.
Read like a person, not a narrator. Take a direction and read it again with the change. Learn what the work pays and how to quote it.
Start sending real auditions, a few good ones a week instead of hundreds of rushed ones. Your first auditions can be for real audiobooks with our own production company.
Your first paid job or your first published audiobook. Then it's repeat clients, a demo and direct work.
Anthony Pica runs Academy Voices, our own audiobook production company, so he hears auditions the way a producer does. Angela Ohlfest, who teaches Launch Pad, has narrated over 250 audiobooks. The notes you get are the ones that matter when someone is deciding who to hire.
*From our July 2025 member check-in. 54 of the 80 members who chose to answer had booked paid voice work in the previous six months. It's what they told us, not a promise of results.
A real Launch Pad class with Angela. You read, you get a note, you read it again.
No assessment and no sales call. You just come to class.
Everything you need for the first stages, for about $9 a week.
Not ready to join yet? Watch a free class first. It plays right away, no card needed.
No. Most people start with a USB microphone and the quietest corner of their home. Stage 1 is about making what you have sound clean, and the Discord is full of people who will help you set it up.
Yes. Launch Pad is for brand-new beginners. Nobody joins ready. The class exists for the stretch where you aren't.
Thursdays at 8pm Eastern on Zoom. Every class is recorded, so you can watch it back if you can't make it live.
Every plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee, and it's month to month. Cancel anytime from your account.
It's taking the cheapest, quickest jobs. Audiobooks and character work still need a person who can act. That's exactly what we train.
Launch Pad is one class a week, for the first stages. CORE is four live classes a week (acting, marketing, Script Workout and Launch Pad) for when you want more. You can move up whenever you like.
Start this Thursday. If it isn't for you, you get your money back within 30 days.
