Whether you are just beginning or a professional, I cannot recommend too highly my voice-over coach Susan Berkley (http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=1015553) for training classes held in NY. Susan is the voice of AT&T, Citibank and other companies. She holds teleclasses, voice-over bootcamps and specialized workshops throughout the year to meet the needs of voice-over students.
I am a member of Susan's inner circle coaching program and have taken several classes that she sponsored. You will always get excellent value for the money with her programs.
For instance, next month you can be one of 12 people to get in a very specialized workshop on audiobooks taught by Pat Fraley and Hillary Huber. Hillary was just nominated for an Audie Award by the Audio Publishers Association. Special guests in this upcoming class will be multiple Audie-award winner Barbara Rosenblat (who is again nominated this year) and Grammy-winning producer Paul Ruben, who will direct you in the studio. You will produce your audiobook demo while you're in the workshop.
I took this class with Pat and Hillary in LA. They are fantastic teachers. You can read about my experiences in that class on my blog (http://www.avoiceabovethecrowd.com/blog/2006/06/audiobook_master_class_in_los_1.html). As marvelous as the LA class was, I think this upcoming New York class will be even better due to the guests.
If you call Susan's offices, please tell them that I referred you.
I hope this info helps you. If you take classes elsewhere, be sure to check out the references. Plenty of people run scams. Whether you study with Susan or someone else, best wishes in your career!
