TESTIMONIALS

“Exploring the range required for Commercial VO was incredibly useful, especially as someone who is naturally more relaxed in their reads. Melissa's coaching on how to place the energy and stay in the performance really helped, and I now feel much more confident about taking on a range of Commercial opportunities. BRAVA is genuine and so welcoming that even the most anxious person can feel relaxed and, importantly, proud of themselves after the training.”

“Recording my Narration and Commercial demos with BRAVA gave me my first experience of working in a professional studio, and a real insight into what professional recording work will be like. Because I’d already trained with BRAVA, Melissa knew my strengths and weaknesses and how to push me in the right ways. I felt in safe hands while still being challenged, and the scripts were tailored specifically to me to help showcase my strengths and stand out in the market.”

“The small, intimate group setting created a really good atmosphere and allowed for plenty of open feedback. The teaching was to the point, practical and personal, and BRAVA felt professional and supportive from the outset. I’m keen to continue with some of the shorter training and stay connected through the podcasts.”

“Getting first-hand experience and feedback from an industry professional was incredibly valuable. Melissa made me feel relaxed and comfortable, while helping me understand that my voice is unique and something I can develop. The course was welcoming, practical and full of useful advice, and it confirmed for me that voiceover is something I genuinely want to pursue.”

“Learning to break down scripts using the BRAVA Blueprint has made my life so much easier. I also loved that the training went beyond technique and encouraged us to look inward at our identity as an artist and as a person, which was a real surprise and something I'm truly grateful for. Melissa was wonderful, and I really appreciated the thoughtfulness of the training and how it was tailored to us as individuals.”

“The one-to-one training gave me the guidance, practical tools and freedom to ask questions that I needed. Melissa created a really supportive learning environment and her constructive feedback helped me understand where I could improve while also recognising my progress. I started the course with no experience in voiceover and finished it feeling much more confident and even more excited to develop my skills and explore the craft further.”

“The course was a great introduction to voiceover, with lots of useful information without ever feeling overwhelming. One of the most valuable things I learned was that everyone has their own unique voice and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. I came away feeling much more relaxed and confident.”

“The training gave me a real sense of what to realistically expect when embarking on a voiceover career. Learning about the BRAVA Blueprint was especially useful and gave me a clearer idea of how to move forward. Training is the first thing that will set you apart from others in the market - do it at BRAVA.”

“The 10 weeks of Narration training felt like a genuinely bespoke journey. I felt looked after as an individual, and the pace gave me enough time to absorb each new technique and make it my own. Script analysis was a real game changer, completely changing how I approach a text, while the insight into the realities of the VO market made the training feel grounded in the real industry. Melissa’s energy is unbeatable, and the whole experience went beyond my expectations.”

“The Commercial Demo gave me valuable experience in the booth and helped me become much more comfortable taking direction during a professional recording. The guidance around the scripts and delivery was excellent, and the whole experience significantly increased my confidence about entering the working world of voiceover. Definitely worth the investment and the experience it brings.”

“The course gave me a real insight into the breadth of the voiceover industry and the confidence to think seriously about my next step. Melissa made what could have been an overwhelming amount of information feel clear and manageable, while generously sharing her experience and expertise. I came away excited about giving voiceover a go and exploring what I'm capable of.”

“The Foundation Course was a great first step into VO training, with plenty of information, engaging exercises and useful advice. Melissa explained everything clearly and created a relaxed, judgement-free environment where I felt comfortable experimenting, despite being completely new to voiceover. The experience only enhanced my interest, and I’m now moving on to Stage 1: Narration.”
