Voice Over Assessment online or phone £85 (no vat)

Before booking a Voice Training Course you may wish to have a confidential appraisal of your voice in a 1 to 1 voice assessment & consultation session with voice guru Rod Lucas from your home on the phone or online.


Rod will critically assess your voicing skills for different voice-over applications. He'll e mail various voice scripts for you to read in order to then evaluate your personal voice abilities for voice-over work. You may then wish to take things further with a face to face voice over training course at a later date. 1 hour Voice Assessment £85 (no vat). Before the voice over assessment and evaluation, Rod Lucas will send you 4 scripts to read and then on the day of the assessment they'll form part of the hour long evaluation.

Rod Lucas will give you an honest professional opinion of your skills including help, guidance and advice. Telephone and online evaluation assessments take 1 hour, allowing you to discuss your ambitions for getting into voice overs and find out whether you've got what it takes by reading through scripts. Rod will coach you and help move you on.

Rod,

Sorry for delay have been away on a course.

The assessment was a full and honest appraisal. It gave me an excellent insight into many of the requirements and possibilities of voice-over work and pointed out my strong points and areas I need to work on.


Many thanks Rod.......

Although I was nervous when the phone call first started, Rod quickly
put me at ease, chatting to me as if we already knew each other . I
learned far, far more in the Assessment than I anticipated, and it
involved much more than me just reading a few scripts and Rod
commenting on the techniques. We chatted about the best environment
for recordings, how to find assignments etc. and Rod was full of
fascinating tips and insights about the whole Voice Over business in
general.

Rod gave me a thorough debrief after I had read through each script -
and I found him to be tough but tactful ! Whilst the Assessment more
than whetted my appetite, I was impressed that there was absolutely no
pressure put on me to book further courses.

I would recommend that anyone, whatever their interest in Voice Over
training might be, should start off with one of these telephone
assessments first."

Hi Rod,

Thank you very much for a very enjoyable Voice Over evaluation session on Saturday. It certainly opened my eyes to the complexity of voice over work and what is involved in it as a whole but it also showed me how enjoyable it could be as well.

Your assessment of me was open and honest and encourages me to now look at moving on to the next phase as discussed and pursue it further.

Best Regards

Phil

Hello Rod


'The hour-long VoiceOver evaluation via Skype was both encouraging and realistic. It's certainly given me the incentive to carry on but I'm also more aware of challenges and pitfalls. Many thanks for giving excellent value for money'


I would like to book a one-day session at your studio soon. Any thoughts on your availability?


Regards

Hi Rod

Thank you very much for your evaluation session on Saturday! I loved every moment of it and really enjoyed learning from you. You were attentive and encouraging and most importantly you gave a detailed assessment of my strengths and weaknesses and made me ponder about my voice for hours after the call, staring at the scribbled scripts replaying what you told me in my head over and over. I've always wanted to do this and I am glad I made this step and called for the assessment, I look forward to meet you sometime soon.

Sorry for the delay in getting back. I found my voice assessment most helpful and I intend to move my life on. I was in 2 minds before calling you Rod, but I have to say you helped me to make a slight career change. As advised I'll keep the voice overs as part time and enjoy voice over work as and when. I going through the different scripting. It was a fascinating hour on the telephone. Many thanks. I'll hear adverts in a very different way. I thoroughly recommend your voice assessment evaluation.

Hello Rod,

 

Just to let you know how much I enjoyed your initial voice over evaluation on Saturday.
Scary to begin with but you very quickly put me at ease!You have the natural ability to be able to impart confidence and consequently I felt quite able to understand and deliver the scripts you sent me. I should also like to mention that I found your web site most informative when initially looking for tuition. Thank you once again and now  I look forward to enrolling with  you soon.

 

 Kind regards,
 Anthony

Dear Rod,

 
I am writing to say how much I appreciated the voice-over assessment which you conducted last Friday.  Although initially nervous. I soon felt at ease through your smooth introduction and clear explanation of the assessment process which was to follow.
 
The subsequent readings and feedback were rigorous, thorough, effective and very much to the point. Your observations were fair, precise and highlighted the weak areas which required attention.
 
The experience and effortless delivery during the session underlined the feeling of being in totally professional hands. By taking on board the advice I have received, I am certain that with hard work  and application, my vision of a career in the voice-over industry can become a reality.
