"With The Dojo’s guidance I have been able to reignite my sense of play. This is a wonderful place to explore all about V.O. These folks know their stuff and are very willing to share their knowledge with you without leading you on. Honest evaluations and challenges every week with some really cool experiences along the way!”

"The V.O. Dojo really opened my eyes and ears to all the opportunities in the world of Voiceover...
During the 6-week "You Should Do Voiceover" Intensive, I gained a lot of insight into numerous genres, and learned many specific skills and techniques to help me navigate that world and do my best work. All remotely from my NY base.
Coming from my almost exclusively theatrical stage background, I needed to sharpen, focus, and adapt my stage skills to the intimate world of Voiceover. Working with Tish and the V.O. Dojo really helped me reclaim my confidence, build my skillset, and start building relationships in the Voiceover world.
I still have so much more to do and learn. But I have already booked a 4-part audiobook series, and started to get more callbacks and first refusals right away. And within a year, I booked my dream stage job – The West Coast production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
I’m a “mature” actor – some might say it was really risky to dive back into a youth-oriented industry. But I have received nothing but support along the way.
Especially in this unprecedented time, it’s time to look inside and find our strength. It’s said the Chinese symbol for Crisis is comprised of two symbols that signify both Danger and Opportunity.
What better way to face it than to summon our resolve and expand our talents?"
