CORE MODULES

BRAVA works with students of all ages and abilities, from beginners through advanced. We specialise in training professionals from a wide range of disciplines, including acting, broadcast, advertising and the wider creative industries, wishing to add voiceover to their skillset. 

WHERE SHOULD I START?

Beginners
If you’re completely new to VoiceOver, we recommend starting with our Foundation Course. This is a short, affordable, beginner-friendly introduction to the craft, business, and techniques of VO. This course prepares you for Stage 1 Narration and removes the need for an audition.

​

If you already have some performance or VO experience and feel ready to commit to an intensive programme, you can apply directly for Stage 1 Narration by booking a Discovery Call.

​

Intermediate & Advanced
For those who have completed Stage 1, or who already have solid VO experience, we offer advanced training in Commercial and Character work, as well as bespoke 1-1 coaching and masterclasses to refine your skills in specific areas. All training is offered as live, personalised, 1-1s or group sessions. ​​

BEGINNERS

Foundation Course – Start your VoiceOver journey

If you’re new to VoiceOver and not sure where to begin, our live online Foundation Course is the perfect first step. Over three weeks, you’ll learn the basics of script analysis, performance techniques, and how the business works — all in a supportive group environment. This course gives you the confidence and skills to move forward and prepares you to progress to our Stage 1 Narration training.  â€‹
