Voiceover Training
Come learn from working voice actors
Come take a class with us live! These live classes are held (mostly) on Zoom – which is how most VO sessions are held these days. Come play with us!
We recommend working with us in live workshops and private coaching. But some things are BEST taught at your own pace! Editing and Home Studios fit that category!
Singing is a beautiful art form. And it’s fun! We teach everything from first time lessons to grad school audition prep. And we do it on Zoom!
Want to learn more about presenting on Zoom or live? Come learn techniques that will help you immediately. From diction to camera techniques. We can help.
We know what it takes to work in the arts. We teach acting, singing, vocal health and public speaking with a strong emphasis on “acting.” All of our instructors come from professional theatrical backgrounds. For every hour you spend learning from us, we expect you to put in three more on your own. That’s they key to mastering voice work of any kind. We are a collection of working theatre artists and voice-over professionals. We are film directors, on-camera commercial actors and we produce solo shows. We voice video games, eLearning, corporate narration, apps, audiobooks and more.
The Seattle Voice Academy began as the Seattle Voice Institute in 2015, and was rebranded the Seattle Voice Academy in 2018.
Founded by Shana Pennington-Baird, the company offers both in-person and online courses in singing and voiceover, and works one-on-one with individuals to improve vocal health, longevity and effectiveness of each individual’s unique voice. We love what we do. Whether it’s our time behind the mic, working on monologues or taking apart a video game script, this is work we are extremely passionate about. We want to share that with you.
