TESTIMONIALS
""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
“Melissa did an amazing job of giving me constructive feedback while also instilling positivity and a great deal of faith. I now feel more confident that I can do whatever I set out to do. I’d recommend this training to anyone, even if you’re just dipping your toe in the water.”
Nathan Bloor - Stage 1: Narration
“This training gave me so much more confidence than I had going in. I got real practice, a solid framework for analysing scripts, and was able to ask anything in a totally supportive environment. Melissa has so much kindness, patience and grounded expertise—it’s impossible not to fall for her! BRAVA doesn’t just train you, it helps you feel like you can do this. I’ve already recommended it and will keep doing so.”
Kirstie Paul - Stage 1: Narration
“There's no doubt we have entered a new Golden Era of audio... storytelling is booming and BRAVA is a great initiative…well done!”
Steve Orchard, CEO of Quidem
“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
“Having had no training before, this course gave me everything I needed to get started in voiceover. It built a strong foundation, boosted my confidence, and made the whole process accessible. Melissa and the team were fantastic—supportive, friendly, and professional throughout. If you’re on the fence, it’s more than worth the time and effort.”
James Evans - Stage 1: Narration
“Melissa is sensational. She’s thorough, ensuring learning objectives are embedded while her teaching style is very freeing and fun. It doesn’t feel like you are being shoved a load of information that you can’t begin to digest or you never lose concentration feeling like you are being lectured but you come away with a wealth of new knowledge and are clear on completely new concepts.”
Darcey Ball - 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.”
Jeremy Otto - Stage 1: Narration
"Melissa is such a wonderful presence; I felt totally at ease working with her and her teaching style is so brilliant at cutting through to what needs to be done to get the best performance out of an artist."
Alexandra Ricou - Stage 1: Narration
“I found commercial VO super useful as it was definitely the thing I knew the least in and I came out with a much better understanding. It actually helped me acting wise as well as I feel more confident putting myself forward for big acting commercials. It even helped me with marketing as I ended up getting one of my headshots done just for commercials and it’s actually getting me through the door where I wasn’t beforehand.”
