Atlanta Voiceover Classes and Training by Mark Pitt, Actor
So, you want to be a voiceover actor? Well, that takes training, dedication, a commitment to honing the voice and developing a professional studio. With the market now world-wide, you CAN work on the world voiceover stage. I did, and now make a decent living at it. However, you need to be ready. You cannot just buy a USB mic and a laptop and expect to become a bookable artist. It takes time, investment and tenacity. I trained for years, made mistakes and still do. But, the rewards there and you can book jobs if you know your market, your skillset, and are technically able. Honestly, the profession is not right for everyone. You have to become used to rejection, near-misses and eventual success. When you book a client, you have to turn up, on time, and be able to perform seamlessly.
Do I teach?
Yes, I allow only a limited number of clients at a given time.
Are you a member of Equity?
I am a member of British Equity. However, due to the A.E.A quota system, and because I work on the American stage, I am on honorable withdrawal. I am also SAG eligible. I gained BAE membership in 1992.
How many clients do you have any any one time?
About 5.
Do I have to audition?
No, but I do interview people over the telephone. If I think you have a great voice, I will tell you. If not, I will be polite. I do not wish to waste your time, and money!
So how do you teach?
The aim is to produce a full demo; a demo that is commercially-viable, so that you can then voice professional auditions for interested clients. Your audition will often include a request from the client for samples of work. So, we start off with basic voice coaching, then turn to voicing samples which can be 'laid down' on a one-minute audio sample.
What do you charge?
$75 per hour. I can invoice you via Paypal or you can Venmo me the fees.
What equipment do you use?
I have a Neuman 103, a dual-pro pre-amp and a 32gig desktop running Audacity. I also back-up my Neuman with a Rode USB Mic, in the event I am on the road and receive a request. I do not travel with my Neuman, as the mic is expensive and prone to damage. A Rode is a great mic for traveling and provides 90% of the quality of a Neuman, although, of course, Neuman mics are the best in the world.
