IVC is for both beginners and experts. You newbies can learn how to use your voice effectively and creatively, no matter what profession you're in. If you already use your voice for a living, we're here to nurture your talent and keep you up to date with information that can help grow your career.

Just as important, we want you to have fun while you're on that journey. It's a fact that people absorb and retain information more completely and permanently when they're having fun. So we based IVC on this creative way of learning. You know, "build it and they will come…and laugh."

IVC'S Philosophy

To succeed at voiceover, artists need 3 essential ingredients: A vibrant, unbridled and intuitive sense of play, availability to work, and training, both initial and ongoing. You may be surprised to find that "a great voice" is not on the list. The other surprise is that "play" is.

Do you still play? IVC believes that the best actors actually want to get down in the sandbox with the other kids and dig, get dirty, and while away the hours! They play like kids do!

Adults who can't remember how to play have lost something very powerful. Play, the unstoppable desire to experience, to create and to imagine, can be the very energy that will drive your career. But even seasoned, experienced actors waste time and energy worrying about what others think of them instead of giving themselves completely to a script. They race to criticize their performance before anyone else can.

And that makes it impossible to play. Why? Because it's impossible to worry and play at the same time. So what's it going to be? Play, and slay them with your wild imagination, or listen to some judgmental internal monologue?

Play breathes life into the words you are reading. Play frees you (the performer) and helps you lift copy off the page -- which convinces listeners that they are not being read to, but are participating in something real. Not an easy task…but that's why there's money in them thar voiceover hills….

Even if you are a little rusty at playing like a kid, it doesn't mean you can't rekindle your skills. It takes the right environment to cultivate and recapture that childlike sense of play. Internet Voice Coach is that sort of environment, and we're here to get you in touch with the lost art of "play."
