TESTIMONIALS
“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.”
Kris Dyer - VO Foundation Course
“The training gave me a structured, step-by-step approach to commercial voiceover that made the industry feel much more approachable and achievable. Melissa's feedback was exceptional, combining deep industry knowledge with practical advice that really built my confidence. One unexpected benefit was how much the training improved my speech. Having struggled with a stammer when I was younger, I now feel I have much greater control over my voice. I now feel ready to pursue my first professional voiceover job.”

“The Stage 2 Commercial training was incredibly valuable. Melissa's feedback was the perfect mix of precise, constructive and encouraging, steadily building my confidence week after week. Practising different vocal styles and working with industry-specific scripts made the learning clear, structured and directly relevant to voiceover work. It was an exceptionally rewarding experience that solidified my passion for voiceover and confirmed that I want to continue training towards becoming a professional voice actor.”

Neil Wyllie - Narration Demo Reel
“The Foundation Course was a really good introduction to voiceover. Considering there were only three hours available, I felt I received a comprehensive overview of the industry and learned some useful techniques too. The teaching was positive, supportive and encouraging, and I am now keener than ever to pursue a career in voiceover. I originally chose BRAVA because I found the podcast deeply professional, and the range of guests convinced me that BRAVA was the serious option.”
Chris Heaphy - VO Foundation Course
“The personal coaching was invaluable. Melissa's coaching was always on point, and we had so many breakthroughs in different methods and approaches. I feel much more confident applying for jobs now and have a real appreciation for the depth of the industry. Real people, in-person events, and one-to-one training made all the difference.”
Michael Andrews - Stage 1: Narration
“The Foundation Course is an invaluable sneak peek into the world of voiceover.

Abi Cockroft - VO Foundation
“The Foundation Course was an incredibly insightful introduction to voiceover, covering a remarkable breadth of material without ever feeling overwhelming. Melissa created a friendly, supportive atmosphere where I felt comfortable taking part despite being completely new to VO.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is curious about voiceover but isn’t yet sure whether it’s right for them.”
