Make Money with Your Mouth Voiceover Academy

VOICEOVER TRAINING FOR BEGINNERS

Ready to be a voice actor but don’t know where to start?

You’re in the right place! Join the voice actors who have gone from: “I know I have the potential, I just don’t know which way is up” to “I feel like I can do this now!”

Imagine turning on the TV and hearing the commercial YOU voiced!

Imagine the excitement of seeing "you're booked" in your inbox.

Think about how it would feel to finally use your artistic gift - your voice - to help you feed your creative spark. 

AS A VOICE ACTOR, YOU CAN:

SET YOUR SCHEDULE

You can start working at 7:00 a.m., or you can start at noon!

WORK FROM HOME

You don’t have to drive to an office daily; your “commute” is to your home studio.

CHOOSE YOUR IDEAL CLIENT

Choose who you want to work with, plus you set your own rates!

BUT HERE’S A COMMON DILEMMA…

YOU’RE RUNNING AROUND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU CAN USE YOUR VOICE TO GET PAID!

You’ve been going from YouTube videos to blog posts to podcasts, trying to learn how you can start a career as a voice actor. Now, you have bits of information here and notes scribbled there, and you’re wondering how to put all the pieces of the puzzle together just to get started!

  • You’re trying to learn the ins and outs of a new industry

It can seem overwhelming when:

  • You’re not sure who to trust

  • You don’t know where to find the work

  • You’re concerned about starting a new business

  • You want to tackle a different side of acting but unsure of where to begin

HERE’S THE TRUTH:

It doesn’t have to be that way!

You can have access to training that will bridge the gap! You can learn how to build a strong foundation as a voice actor. And you can find that information in one place. Because when you actually take the time to get trained, myths, fears, and lack of confidence melt away. When you have the guidance and direction you need, you feel more confident moving into an unfamiliar space.

MEET YOUR COACH …

HI! I’M HAVILLAND MAXWELL

Photo - Havilland Maxwell Voice Actor in Recording Booth in Columbus Ohio

I'm a voiceover coach based in Columbus, Ohio, for beginners who want to learn more about voice acting.

I’ve also been a voice actor for over 15 years; I’ve voiced radio & TV commercials, training videos, explainer videos, live events, infomercials, and even meeting minutes. (yes, people have actually paid for that!)

I’ve enjoyed voicing projects for Apple, Mastercard, Lowe’s, Macy’s, Avon, Hollywood Casino, Guthy-Renker, and more!

I’m here to help you get started as a voice actor. I aim to give you the 411 on what voice acting is all about. I want to help you discover your voice to build a successful foundation for your voice-acting career.

The experience and knowledge I've gained from working at a voiceover production studio, cable access station, NBC-affiliated TV station, and SAG-AFTRA franchised talent agency helps me instruct you and encourage you as you start your journey as a beginner in the industry.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE COMPANIES I’VE WORKED WITH:

I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH SOME AMAZING CLIENTS AND MADE A GREAT LIVING FROM VOICE ACTING, BUT I DIDN’T START OUT THIS WAY…

I started as a voice actor while working a full-time job. One day, I was talking on the phone, and someone told me I had a pleasant voice. I didn’t think anything of it, but it turned out that someone else was listening, too. The “phone guy.” The phone guy called me and asked me to record the on-hold greetings for the company 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 (and got paid!) I looked at him and said what is this?? He said, “You’re doing voiceover work.” I was hooked!

I went from getting $100 for one voiceover spot to years later, earning over $30,000 from just one spot! 

I don’t say all this to show off, but I want to express that voice acting can be a game-changer for you!

FAQs

Got questions? I bet I have the answers…

  • The next session begins late April 2024. Please book a call here > https://coachhavilland.as.me/MMWYM to apply and discuss your VO goals.

  • These training sessions are not in person. All classes are online via Zoom (classes are at 7:00 pm, EST). The only session that is in person is a demo recording session if you choose that training package.

  • Ultimately, this class is for beginners and those brand new to the voiceover industry. If you’ve been booking VO work consistently for some time and have outstanding agents, a broadcast-quality home studio, and great demos, this might not be the place for you.

  • YES! You don’t have to have prior experience to join Make Money with Your Mouth. 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.

  • No. To begin, you’ll simply need a phone and/or computer to access class info and join the live calls.

  • There will be live Zoom calls each week. Your recorded calls, lessons, and other information will be on an easy-to-use community platform.

  • This program is for you if you want to learn more about voice acting and are excited about creating your own VO business. This program is not for you if you don’t want to commit to doing the work. Some people are deemed “overnight successes,” but most have built their businesses with a professional combination of commitment, hard work, practice, and dedication to the craft.

  • You must apply to join. After you submit your application and upload a sample reading, you’ll be prompted to book a call with me. During that call, we’ll discuss your options for moving forward.

  • No. If you enter this program knowing you want to start earning extra money on the side with voice work, that is fine - this training will help you with the info you need to get started.

  • If you are over the age of 21, you are welcome. Please keep in mind you will eventually have to learn how to record and edit your voiceover submissions to audition for voice work.

  • Nope. You don’t have to live in LA, Chicago, or Atlanta to be successful in voiceover. Most voice actors work from home and are able to connect with clients from all over the globe with the right equipment in place.

  • 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.

  • Yes! I do have payment plan options available. Please note: if you agree to a payment plan, all payments must be paid in full before the end of the 7-week session. Please schedule a call with me to discuss payment options https://coachhavilland.as.me/MMWYM

SO LISTEN, REAL TALK, MY FRIEND…

It's time for you to do this thing you really want to do. My mission is to help you gain more clarity, attract more clients, and live confidently.

I want you to fall in love with voiceover just like I have. I want you to see how much fun it is to stand behind a mic and bring a copy to life (and get paid to do so!). It’s one of the best “jobs” I’ve had.

It’s one that’s helped me build confidence, make wonderful connections, and gain valuable mentorship, and it pushed me to be my own boss!

I want you to understand that voiceover is not just “reading things off of a piece of paper”; it’s a real art, and it takes dedication to see success. I’m here to help you start by using an encouraging, easy-to-understand coaching approach that’s real and to the point.

I started my voice acting journey in that conference room, and that one opportunity created a spark that led me to:

  • An internship and later a job at a VO production studio where I learned how spots are actually put together (and I got my first radio gig!)

  • A position at a cable access TV station where I learned how to run camera for sporting events, plus I was also a technical director for community meetings.

  • A position as a producer, reporter, and anchor for an NBC affiliate

  • A talent agency. I worked for five years as an audition coordinator at a SAG-AFTRA franchised agency in the Midwest. There, I coached & guided actors & voice actors to help them submit their best performances when auditioning for commercial and film roles.

  • Emcee at a Midwest casino where I promoted live events, giveaways, and even bands.

  • Becoming a voice actor, on-camera talent, and even hand model for some great companies!

When I coach, I bring all of my experiences from my creative background to the table to help you build a solid foundation for your business.

I want you to win, and I work to equip you with what you need to succeed!

I hope to see you in the program!
