TESTIMONIALS
“It was a lot of fun – highly stimulating and very interesting. Finding my neutral voice and then manipulating pitch and tone felt like a real epiphany.”
Max Lahiff - Stage 1: Narration
“The script analysis and feedback on recordings were incredibly helpful, and everything was explained clearly. The training confirmed for me that voiceover is something I want to pursue as a career, at my own pace.”
Angela Labadie - VO Foundation
"The training broadened my skills and deepened my understanding of voiceover- especially how it shapes the final delivery of a line. The one-to-one sessions were incredibly supportive and packed with actionable feedback. BRAVA’s friendly, encouraging atmosphere helped me feel at ease and gave me even more love for VO work than I had before. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone considering taking the leap."
Eleanor Doughty Davis - Stage 2: Commercial

Alys Colayera - VO Foundation
“Thank you so much for all your help! I’ve really been enjoying our sessions and building on my VO journey (I can see the growth) and I’m excited to keep developing as we move into Stage 2.”
Misbah Abdul-Halim - Stage 1: Narration
“I definitely preferred working with Melissa – very polished, professional. The 1:2:1 sessions and feedback were so valuable, and I came away realising there’s so much more to VO than people realise. If you’re on the fence, just do it!”
Elspeth Dale - Stage 1: Narration
“This training opened my eyes to the art and science of advertising and the sheer level of detail and care that goes into commercials - and where we, as voice actors, fit in. The technical work around emotion, truth, melody and tempo was invaluable. As with the Narration course, working with the teachers was wonderful, and I’m very grateful. If you’re serious about VO and have the means, do it.”
Ed Barnes - Stage 2: Commercial
"The Narration course is a great introduction and lays an excellent foundation for moving you forward into the VO industry. Melissa very quickly adjusted the sessions to focus where I needed to work on, and was incredibly helpful and constructive in giving feedback. It built on and highlighted the skills I hadn't noticed I'd already been developing—and made me look again at my work and realise the things I can do in my own time to improve, experiment and just play around with my voice and skills."
Tad Edmondson - Stage 1: Narration
“Recording my characters demo reel was the final piece in my core training puzzle. BRAVA gave me the tools and confidence to tackle any script or character, with Elaine’s coaching and support being absolutely invaluable. The experience was both challenging and energising — I left the booth knowing I’d given it everything. I can’t wait to take this next step into character work.”
Carla O'Shaughnessy - Characters
“I valued Melissa's holistic approach to training and her ability to tailor the experience to suit my individual needs. Melissa took the time to understand my situation deeply, which was incredibly meaningful and showed that she was genuinely committed to making the training as accessible as possible for me. Melissa also had a great way of highlighting my strengths, even when I struggled to see them myself, and she offered practical, grounded strategies to help me navigate the barriers I faced throughout the learning process.”
