APVoices

APVoices, Ellie Devers and Frank Piazza, are consummate professionals with a fun and affirming hand in teaching voice-​overs. My experience with them has been wonderful… everything I could have hoped for. Ellie is exceptional in eliciting from her students the best that they can be, as the one reviewer said, she «gets you connect with your own feelings» and life experience, and Frank is a magician in the sound room. Look no further, you’ve found your voice-​over career launch pad! Don’t listen to the naysayers. I can’t imagine how any reasonable person with realistic expectations could come away from this team with anything but a fulfilling experience.

I have read the 2 bad reviews (which I don’t understand) and the 12 non-​recommended reviews, which I don’t understand how Unilocal’s secret sauce keeps away from plain view. This was one of the most wonderful experiences of my entire life. Ellie doesn’t teach you how to do voice-​overs, Ellie teaches you how to connect with your own feelings so you do great voice-​overs. In some ways, it’s as if she’s teaching you how to act, but if you’re just acting on a voice-​over it comes across as flat and not interesting. When you open yourself up (vulnerability, which believe me, is not easy for me to do and is exhausting but exhilirating at the same time) the voice-​over takes on a new level of range and emotional connection to the listener. This is just one of the things that Ellie has taught me. I could go into a lot more, but I realized early on that the package of 4 hours coaching by her would not be enough time to get me up to the level where I wanted to be. So I’m going back and doing individual sessions to really get good at this. If this is what you want to do, I would highly recommend going here! And feel lucky that you can!

What a cool and fun experience… Our teachers were wonderful and gave excellent tips… I am in sales and this class taught us how to use our voices to their full potential in everyday speaking (not just for voice-​over) so this was not only fun but will help me in my career, as well :) definitely recommend!

I am a professional who was looking for a professional voiceover coach and found APVoices. I couldn’t have been more pleased. They worked closely with me, fine-​tuning my interpretation of scripts and my presentation. They created two separate demos for me, directed me to the right places to place them and I am now receiving work. I don’t know about the group classes, but the one-​on-​one work is exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend them to professionals looking for coaching or to create new demos.

I actually had a really good time here. This was my first time there… my friend and I really were just looking for something different to do and it ended up being a great time for us both. The leaders were great and gave good tips and I thought it was cool that I got a demo of my voice-​over the next day as a keepsake. An added bonus was that it taught us how to use our voices to their full potential in everyday speaking, not just for voice-​over purposes. As an attorney who frequently presides before a judge, this has proven quite beneficial to my career!

I bought a Living Social deal for an introductory voice over lesson with AP Voices. After reading John F.‘s review, I was regretting my purchase. However, I was more than pleasantly surprised by AP Voices — they provided a wonderful experience. They were timely with scheduling my class and the class itself was kept small (approx 8 people). The leaders, Frank and Ellie were charming and knowledgeable. Each person in the class got to record a demo and was given improvement tips by Ellie and Frank. The next day, they sent me an email with my demo sample and information on voice over lessons & demo packages. The packages are a bit pricey but I might consider taking them up on their offer. It’s a fun time!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! These guys are thieves and liars. They run deals on Living Social and then they don’t honor them. You call and leave messages in June and July, and you get no reply. You send an e-​mail in July, and no reply is sent. You send a 2^nd e-​mail in October, and you get a reply from the Frank, «the president of Audio Paint, Ltd» that they’ll get back to you. It’s now January, and no e-​mail and no phone call.
