Or

When you’re in the studio or working from home, you wish you knew more about technique and what’s possible

Or

You’re beginning to build your voiceover knowledge and want to get some valuable skills, practice and advice from a coach

Then these Livestreams could be just what you need

Why?

In today’s world where AI poses a threat to our work, it’s never been more important to know how to collaborate creatively in voiceover and offer a uniquely human perspective and performance

The livestreams will teach you how to understand written word language deeply and expand your knowledge of approaching any script or text

Always on a Saturday morning, these ‘90 Minute Livestream Sessions' are designed to give you a working-in-the-studio experience from…well…virtually anywhere

Here's how it Works

Each 90 minute session will focus on ‘one’ of the 4 different areas of voiceover:

·      Commercial

·      Animation/Games/Character VO

·      Audiobook narration, and

·      Non-commercial

Depending on the ‘specific area’, we’ll work with 4-6 different scripts or texts during each session

Once you’ve chosen which area you’d like to explore, you can register in two ways

Observe:   You register as an observer of this coaching for your session or sessions of choice

Dive In:  You get in quick to get one of the 4-6 scripts suited to your voice and get one-on-one technique coaching.

*Each Diver-in-er-er, will receive their script prior to the session.  I'll be in touch with you to talk about that

Working with Abbe was such a privilege and what I gained in confidence, I owe to her valuable knowledge of the voice and the industry. I contacted Abbe to produce a new demo and to broaden my skills and abilities. I had such a ball making my demo and Abbe was able to draw out the best in me. She has an incredible ability and sensitivity when it comes to helping create the perfect atmosphere for your reads. If you are looking for some coaching then look no further ‘cos Abbe is the lady you have been looking for.

Working with Abbe was the best thing I could have done to kick-start my voice over career. The most skilled and experienced voice over artist in the country, she’s also a wonderful, passionate teacher who genuinely cares about her students’ progress. I made my demo with Abbe and was accepted by Australia’s leading voice over agency, EM Voices.  I can’t recommend her highly enough – you won’t find a teacher with more expertise in the world of voice over than Abbe. She’s the greatest.

Abbe’s been central to the growth of my professional voiceover career since I approached her in 2017 for coaching. I was a blank canvas, with zero idea of the world of voiceover.  She’s a role model who not only guided me on effective performative and strategic elements but also taught me to understand and hone my own branding and how to stay relevant. She’s an oracle within the VO community and has been actively engaged in the evolving industry landscape for decades, generously sharing her wealth of knowledge. Highly recommended is an understatement.

Abbe Holmes is such a brilliant voice over coach and a total pro. Her expert feedback and tailored training helped me unlock new vocal and mic techniques and, being a great actor, she really helped me to connect with the material. I couldn’t ask for a better mentor in this industry.
