Learn How to Become a Voice Actor
Build the skills, confidence, and industry knowledge to pursue voice acting with purpose.
Maybe you've been thinking about voice acting for years. Or maybe you've only recently discovered it's something you'd love to pursue. Either way, every successful voice actor begins the same way—with the decision to learn.
That's exactly why I created Voiceover Confidence.
If you've ever found yourself thinking...
"I know I have potential, but I'm lost on where to begin."
Imagine replacing that uncertainty with the confidence to say:
"I feel prepared and excited to pursue voice acting."
Does this sound familiar?
You've spent hours researching voice acting, but you're more confused than when you started.
You're overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice about voice acting.
You’re tired of looking for the roadmap, begging for support , stressing about next steps.
The good news is that it doesn't have to be that way…
I believe new voice actors deserve straightforward instruction, practical coaching, and a clear understanding of how the industry really works.
That's why I created Voiceover Confidence.

Hi! I’m Havilland Maxwell…
When I first entered the voiceover industry, I quickly realized that talent alone wasn't enough. Success came from understanding the craft, learning the business, and having someone who could provide honest guidance along the way.
Today, after more than 15 years as a professional voice actor, on-camera talent, and coach, I've helped hundreds of aspiring voice actors build confidence, strengthen their performance skills, and gain a clear understanding of how the industry works.
Whether you're looking for a creative outlet, additional income, or a new career, my goal is simple—to help you move forward with confidence and a plan!

How One Conversation Changed Everything…
I didn't grow up dreaming of becoming a voice actor.
In fact, I was working a full-time job when someone casually mentioned that I had a pleasant voice. I smiled, thanked them, and moved on with my day...
What I didn't realize was that someone else noticed my voice, too.
I still laugh when I think about him because I simply call him "The Phone Guy."
The Phone Guy asked me to record the on-hold greetings for the company’s phone system.
I sat in the conference room, holding a landline up to my ear, going through the script. “Press 1 for…Press 2 for….” After I recorded my first few prompts, I looked at him and said what is this?? He said, “You’re doing voiceover work.” I was hooked! That one opportunity opened a door I never expected.
Over the years, I went from recording a simple phone greeting to working with national brands and building a career that has given me opportunities I never imagined possible.
Years later, one voiceover project earned me more than $30,000.
Not because I had a "perfect voice."
But because I learned the craft, continued improving my skills, and treated voice acting like a business.
That's why I'm so passionate about helping aspiring voice actors get started.
You don't need to have all the answers today.
You simply need the willingness to take the first step—and someone who's willing to guide you along the way. I share this because I want you to see what's possible when talent is paired with a positive attitude, the right training, persistence, and guidance.

Got questions? I bet I have the answers…

New training groups are scheduled throughout the year based on enrollment so I can keep class sizes small and provide individualized coaching.
Classes are generally held one evening per week at 7:00 p.m. ET on Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday, although the specific day/time may vary by group. You'll receive your confirmed start date and schedule well in advance so you have plenty of time to plan.
These training sessions are not in person. All classes are online via Zoom. Calls are recorded for you to be able to review and take notes, or in case you are running late so you don’t miss important coaching.

This class is designed specifically for beginners and those who are brand new to the voiceover world. If you’ve been consistently booking work, have top-tier agency representation, a broadcast-quality home studio, and polished demos, you may already be beyond the scope of this course.
That said, if you're a working voice actor who hasn’t been booking lately and could use fresh feedback or a tune-up on your reads, I recommend checking out my Copy Magic …Read it Like You Mean It! program—it’s built to help you reconnect with your voice and sharpen your delivery.
-
You don’t have to have prior experience to join the Voiceover Confidence program. These classes will be taught assuming you know very little about voice work. All you need is a desire to learn more about VO and commit to doing the work.
To begin, you’ll simply need a phone and/or computer to access class info and join the live calls.

You can see results if you’re deliberate and follow the recommended action steps and suggestions. You are responsible for creating and implementing your own physical, mental, and emotional decisions, choices, actions, and results. I cannot guarantee you’ll see XYZ results in a specific timeframe. Every student brings a different skill level, work habits, and experience. Everyone is starting from a different mindset and place. If you want to see the success you’d like, you must be willing to do the work and take the coaching information seriously.
