Academy VoicesReviews of academyvoices.com

Academy Voices has been a game-changer for me in my career as an audiobook narrator! Anthony has built a most professional site enabling narrators to audition for royalty-share and Per Finished Hour audiobook projects, and I must say I find it extremely addictive and am on the site most days looking for interesting books. Perhaps because of this addiction (!) I am currently the narrator with the largest number of productions on the site - which I was amazed and delighted to see when this appeared on the homepage! After struggling with ACX - no replies to a huge number of time-taking auditions, endless spam, audiobooks produced and then deleted by the author with no warning..., Academy Voices is an absolute delight. Real people on the other end, excellent support, all real human voices, and no AI in sight. What we would all like to see now is more new books and PFH projects, so, authors, skip ACX and bring your books to life with Academy Voices!

I jumped into voiceover 2 1/2 years ago. At the time, I answered an ad for a 5 month online VO program from a school in Albany, NY. Suffice it to say, I was less than overwhelmed by the quality of instruction. I don't recall how I came upon AVOJ and AVOJ Academy Voices, but I am grateful that I did. The classes, the comradery, and the online resources have been a lifesaver for me. Technologically, I'm a Troglodyte who has learned enough on the Academy's videos to get myself into audio extremus. Fortunately, I have been able to get help quickly from other members as well as Anthony in fixing the things I have managed to mess up. Additionally, I am slowly developing acting skills, which have lain dormant since I portrayed "Slump" in the North Street School's Fifth Grade production of "Mulligan's Magic." While my progress has been slow (due entirely to my own ineptitude), I have made progress due to the quality of the resources and instruction at AVOJ and Academy Voices.

GREAT Customer Service. Questions answered quickly. Wide variety of auditions available by well known authors. Focusing on the human voice and not AI centered!

I really enjoyed having the opportunity to be informed about the Voice Over's tips and tricks in the industry. Aslo, I learned a lot just watching Anthony Pica's Coffee time, Angela Ohlfest and Gabi Nistico's videos. Since I am located in France, I don’t always have the possibility to follow live webinars. As a whole, the community is a great place to be for anyone eager to learn, to grow and to know more about how to build a successful voice over business. I came to realize consistency and commitment are key for success.

I've narrated 3 audiobooks for them and it's been an excellent experience. They're responsive and constantly improving their set up.

So far so good! I appreciate the changes made on the site :)

Academy voices provides amazing opportunities for up-and-coming narrators to get their foot in the door. I’m grateful for all the wonderful opportunities Academy voices has given me as I have started my audiobook narration career.

Academy Voices are friendly and personable. There are a lot of books available to audition for. Currently there are nearly all Royalty Share and little PFH also mostly Public Domain titles (a lot of short stories) but it is early days and I believe that this will changes as things move forward. I have narrated four books with them so far and it has been a positive experience.
