The Actor's Guide
To Getting Started Making Money in
Voice Over
A 3.5 hour video course with everything you need to know (and nothing you don’t) to make money, and build momentum.
Curious about Voice Over?
Maybe it sounds like fun and you've heard you can make bank doing it, but you have no idea how to get started.
Or, you've already looked into it and have been totally overwhelmed by the cost of coaching & creating a demo, or spent hours researching the best microphone, only to find yourself with more questions than answers, ready to give up before you even start.
I've made over half a million dollars over the past 5 years recording Voice Over out of my home, working part time hours, in my yoga pants, while raising a family and performing in professional theatre.
This is the information I wish I had when I was getting started. A lean and mean deep dive into the details you need to get set up and start making money in VO without spending big bucks or wasting time. I’ve kept this concise because I know your time is valuable!
What Exactly Will I Learn?
Home Studio Essentials:
Setting yourself up to record quality audio at home as quickly, easily and affordably as possible.
Samples & Demos:
Why you don't need to dump a ton of cash on a professional demo when you're just getting started…and what you should do instead.

VO myths dispelled, setting prices & getting paid, what to do when you're ready to up level & much more!
“My VO coaching session with Lauren was a First Class experience that exceeded my expectations! As promised, the session was full of valuable information. Her communication throughout the session was direct and easily understandable. I look forward to our next session! Thanks again!”
-Mark
“Lauren is an excellent coach! She gave me exactly what I needed to start doing voiceovers. She is wonderful to work with and gave me so much information in a short time. She gave me the knowledge and confidence that I need to begin and I look forward to continuing to work with her!”
-Brooklyn
“Lauren did a fantastic job at providing beginner VO coaching. She really packed all she could into our session. I would highly recommend for anyone interested in starting on this path or even in it already. 10/10!”

Get started in VO for less than the cost of a night out.
Seriously.
$99
This class includes all the information I cover with my 1:1 coaching clients.
It's basically like getting 4 private sessions with me for less than the cost of one!

This is for you…
If you're ready to explore an additional, flexible income stream doing something you love.
If VO sounds like a dream but it feels unattainable cause you don't have thousands of dollars to invest in gear, coaching & a demo
If you know you have the talent to succeed in VO but are overwhelmed about where and how to begin
If you're not afraid of a little humble hustle and the idea of getting paid while you learn the ropes sounds pretty darn good!
Your Coach
Lauren Gobes
Professional Actor for over 20 years:
Off Broadway, National Tours & Regional Theatres
BFA in Acting from Marymount Manhattan College plus countless hours of training with top NY coaches
In my first year as a VO artist working from home, I earned more money than I ever did working full time for a major corporation. In my second year, I more than doubled that. Since then, I have continued to grow my income while decreasing my hours worked year over year, consistently bringing in well over six figures annually in VO income working from home while raising two kids and performing in professional theatre.
VO clients include Northwestern Medicine, Walmart, McDonalds, Pinterest, Infiniti, Toyota, Kohl's, Volvo, ABinBev, Cigna, Kohler, Bosch & thousands more.
Q: Wont I need to buy expensive gear? How much does it really cost to get started?
A: I'll walk you through the most budget friendly options of the essentials you need- assuming you already have a laptop and internet connection…it's possible to get started for under $100
Q: What if I've already gotten started in VO but need support to get to the next level- is this course right for me?
A: If you're already up & running and making money in VO, then I would recommend private coaching…& keep an eye out for my next level courses coming soon!
Q: What if I'm SAG-AFTRA?
A: Real talk: I'm a non union talent and this course will focus on non union work…because the vast majority of VO work is non union.
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful! I went from feeling completely lost in the audiobook narration field to having a sense of what I should be doing. And that was all in one session! I would highly recommend Lauren for narration and voiceover coaching!”
-Christine
“Lauren is a terrific voiceover coach. She has a wealth of knowledge and resources and she’s outstanding at sharing it. She knows the VO business inside and out, and she’s kind! If you are looking for support, Lauren delivers! Highly recommended!!!”
-Gwendolyn
“Fantastic teacher/mentor for Voice Over! 100% recommend and so much learned!! So patient, kind, understanding, and very wise, especially when it comes to her experience and knowledge in VO. Already ordering more sessions - you should do the same because you won't regret it!”
-Anthony
