“I just watched the "Developing the Right Mindset" part of the course. I thought it was very well-done. I liked the section about removing the "I can't, I won't, and I don't. I also liked the way you showed people the way to reframe the negative/limiting beliefs. I think a lot of people will find that helpful. I liked the presentation and the way it was laid out. I also liked that you went over different elements such as the "why", the time piece, and the money piece. I think these things will be helpful for people who are on the fence and not 100 percent sure if this is for them before they spend a bunch of money on courses or equipment.”

"I enjoyed Before You Buy a Mic! I find it to be thorough, though not repetitive. I think this is an excellent tool for people who are considering voiceover, because I'm sure most people jump right in without knowing what to expect, and that can lead to failure or giving up! I found this helpful, and I am sure others will, too!”

"I finished Before You Buy A Mic, and it is excellent. Although I've taken your full course already, I still learned several new things (and had a couple refreshers on points we've discussed already!)"

“Havilland is great to audition with! She makes you feel comfortable in the room and her coaching is always honest and constructive. She wants you to book the role just as much as you do. Her coaching aided in me booking a national Valvoline commercial and other cool opportunities.”

“It is a very easy, and understandable format to follow for beginners, who it is geared towards, and written with a lighthearted tone. I like that you don't overwhelm them with too much specific industry information, which could scare some readers and steer them away. I liked how you included exercises with every chapter to get the reader engaged and begin to take action, which is a big step in starting out, just starting to "do".

“ I can think back to before I took the class and I had a voiceover audition and I had no idea what I was doing to now knowing how to dissect the copy - I feel like if I were to audition for that again, I would at least be considered…”
