Win a Free Hour of Coaching With SomeAudioGuy!

I'm Mr. 3000! 

So I just broke 3000 followers on Twitter, and I want to do something fun to celebrate. I'll be giving away a free hour of voice over coaching to one lucky winner to work on whatever aspect of their performance or equipment they wish to discuss.

If you're in the LA area we can meet face to face, and for everyone else we can set up the coaching over G+ or Skype!

There are three ways to enter:

  3. I would like to work on breaking down and delivering commercial copy. I work as a narrator and do long form stuff and I have found that those skills aren't a 1:1 translation to commercial copy (which is an area I struggle in and would like to grow this year and beyond). Thanks for the opportunity Juan!

  16. Hi Juan! Congrats on the 3000! :) I'd love to win a free hour of voiceover coaching to work on creating a more conversational, yet animated style of delivery. I keep hear "non-announcery", but then hear finished products that DO sound announcery -- so I'd love some direction on finding that happy medium. All the best to you! Amy

  17. Congratulations! And thank you for the opportunity! :)
    I know this is a *rare* thing to ask, but I would ALSO like to work on sounding more believable as different characters (commercial and animation), and maybe talk about effective networking?
    You can reach me at timothyvoicer@gmail.com if the need arises. :)

  20. Hi, Juan!

    Thanks so much for the opportunity! I have a home studio setup and currently do a few dozen recordings a month for freelance clients. I'd like to discuss how to effectively position and market myself to grow my voiceover business and brand through non-union clients, as well as how to network with agents and producers for union work.

    Thanks again! And congrats on gaining so many followers! =D
