TESTIMONIALS

"The individual feedback and opportunity to meet others were invaluable. Melissa is vibrant, energetic and genuine, and the structured training has made me feel much more in control of my life and work.”

Maxine Roper - Audiobooks from a Publisher’s Perspective Masterclass

“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

“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

“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

“Learning more about the industry and what it takes to become a voice artist was hugely valuable. Melissa was wonderful to work with, patient, and full of great advice. The training left me feeling like we’ve only scratched the surface and made me keen to keep learning.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Alys Colayera - VO Foundation

“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

“A brilliant introduction to voiceover. The technical insight really helped improve my script reading, and working with Melissa was encouraging, supportive, and inspiring. It’s made me even more excited to start training.”

Chelsea Aldred - VO Foundation

"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

“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 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 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

“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
