My confidence in my auditioning has multiplied, having gained a lot of knowledge from him on the craft, the industry, and how to put and present a package in the room, or self recording.

“When i first booked a session with Brent, It quickly became clear he knew his stuff. He wanted to get to know me, what i wanted from this venture and how we could get there. After a couple of months of weekly training and learning the skills needed to build quality content for my animation reel, I felt that I'd learnt so much from him. His teaching skills are phenomenal with a great ear for what is the industry standard, critical when he needs to be and highly motivating too. Many thanks Brent!' ​”

“I took lessons with Brent on a weekly basis for about a month to improve my voice acting skills and produce a demo. Brent is a friendly, professional, and effective teacher who really changed the way that I think about line delivery. He wasn't afraid to give fair criticism when I needed it, and he often challenged me to venture out of my comfort zone. The end result was a demo filled with performances that I never would have imagined myself giving a month ago.”

“Brent is a focused, constructively critical and extremely supportive and kind mentor. Being able to get both positive and negative feedback about specifics of my performance from him ensured that we got to address issues with my performance quickly and make the most of each session. He was able to give me a good time estimate for how long it would take us to complete training and my animation demo, which I couldn’t be more happy with. Brent was able to help me not only come out of my shell more, but also helped me tackle the more practical aspects of voice over. I am so grateful that I’ve had a chance to work with him and start my journey as a voice actor. His advice and insight have been invaluable. I look forward to working with him again in the future.”
