Empowering You On Your Voiceover Journey
The V.O. Dojo is a training, networking, and resource center connecting voiceover actors of all levels, from those with an initial spark of interest to seasoned V.O. professionals.
Inspired by the discipline of martial arts and the fun and playfulness of improv, we encourage voiceover artists to approach their craft fearlessly and with the wisdom of a warrior.
The Dojo takes a wonderfully unique and holistic approach to the business of voiceover. We concentrate not only on formal skills and techniques, but also on the mind/body/spirit connection necessary to communicate your truth and connect with your audience.

So much more than just a voiceover class...
"Last March, I was new to voiceover and decided to check out the VO Dojo’s 'You Should Do Voiceover' course. One year later, I was a VO Dojo Black Belt repped by William Morris.
Tish will change the way you think about voiceover. Yes, she'll deliver countless juicy tips and tricks of the trade – but even better, she'll give you real insight into the process of mastering the art of VO and help you develop your plan of attack. This is not just any voiceover class. This is deep, important work. The supportive community, the professional connections, and the intense training you get at the VO Dojo are absolutely invaluable. You'll wish you started years ago."

I'm signed with a great agent and have booked several radio and TV spots!
"I cannot recommend Tish enough. I had some success prior to meeting Tish, but that was almost by accident. I couldn't figure out how to maintain any momentum in my career. Tish was able to help me focus on my strengths and offered guidance on how to improve my weaknesses. On top of that she was extremely helpful in my search for good V.O. representation. As a result of our combined efforts, I am now signed with an excellent agent, and have booked several television and radio spots. Thank you, Tish."

Finished my demo and signed with a fantastic agent!
"I'd worked with Tish in the LA theater scene, so when I decided to expand my acting career into voiceover, I knew the V.O. Dojo was the place to go. Tish focuses on the craft of acting in her work, so even though I was new to V.O., I was able to jump in with both feet using the experience I already had in my stage and on-camera work. The Dojo became my V.O. workout ritual, exposing me to other actors with a full range of expertise, guiding me from being a 'White Belt' - sharpening my skills and building my confidence to finishing my demo and signing with a fantastic agent. Now I'm a 'Brown Belt', putting all of that Dojo experience into practice in the industry, and I know the Dojo will help keep me moving forward as I continue to expand my V.O. career."

Gave me the confidence I needed to win over the first agency I met with...
"Tish helped me see a V.O. career as fun, fulfilling, lucrative, and above all, accessible. She's great at demystifying, and has helped me see that V.O. is a craft that's exceedingly learnable."
