Student Spotlight: Wolf Williams
We at The Voice Shop are so proud of our students and their accomplishments, and we want to spotlight the amazing Wolf Williams. His inimitable baritone was one of the first to grace The Voice Shop classes, and Wolf has since found great success in animation and voiceover. We had the privilege of cutting his demo reel and we are elated to see his growth and success in the business. Wolf has a voice both commanding and comforting, and we are confident that he will see continued success in the field. You can hear him now on NBA 2K21, Galacide, and NeuroSlicer. Keep on howling, Wolf!
"I have taken several classes at The Voice Shop and highly recommend that anyone interested in the voiceover world or even those who are simply looking for a refresher course, try the classes. Michael George is an incredible coach. His knowledge, experience and passion for the voiceover business is unmatched. He has the incredible ability to steer you in the right direction and help you find the voice that is unique to you. He is inspiring, motivating and I left his class with a new found confidence and the motivation and roadmap that I didn't have before. If you are considering getting into voiceover work or have worked in voiceovers and are looking for classes that will help you build on the skills that you already have, the voice shop is the place for you!"
• Dana P - professional VO artist
"Any working VO artist knows that learning never stops, and taking Michael George's class at The Voice Shop was just that and more. A true gift! Michael imparted his wealth of knowledge onto us and I gleaned things from his class that I used in my very next audition. Michael critiques your reads thoughtfully and his personalized feedback in the moment helps you deliver a more compelling read. Michael was a stranger to me, he did not know my work, my strengths or my resume, and his genuine interest in myself and each of my classmates is what sets him apart from other coaches and instructors. If you want to grow as a VO actor and feel more confident in your approach, get yourself to The Voice Shop!"
• Diahanna D - professional VO artist
"Michael George provided me with my very first introduction to the art of mastering voiceovers. We worked on commercial and promo technique, and nailing auditions in the VO booth. Mike gave me the tools to quickly and easily interpret VO copy in any situation. His expertise, enthusiasm, encouragement, and warmth helped tremendously in the process. I am forever grateful to Mike, who gave me my start in this career, and am currently a happily thriving, working voiceover artist."
• Allegra C - professional VO artist
"Coach Allyson Johnson was amazing, working with me one-on-one to achieve more in an hour than I thought possible. She encouraged me to push hard to improve my technique and made the whole experience fun and challenging."
• Margaret L - VO student
"As an Actress/Voice-Over Talent new to NYC 15 years ago, I was searching for any ‘rope to hold onto’. Michael George is one of the most professional, dedicated, and supportive people in the industry. Not only does this make him a great casting director, but also an awesome teacher! I’m very happy to know him and work with him to this day."
• Carolyn H - entrepreneur/small business owner, VO talent
"I would not be the voiceover artist I am today without Michael George's coaching skills."
• Judd H - professional VO artist
"I had the pleasure of taking the Intro to Animation Workshop taught by Steve Tardio and am so excited from all that was taught and practiced. Steve did a great job of explaining the layout of the Animation industry in an organized manner and took time to explore three different facets of the animation, giving individual time to each participant to practice with his feedback. With Steve's expertise, all levels can learn something here. Many thanks to Steve and The Voice Shop!"
• Alicia D - VO Student
"I took the Fundamentals of Voice Over class with Michael George recently and could not have been happier. Michael is a wonderful teacher who leads the class with so much passion and knowledge. I have taken so many different classes like this in NYC, and this is the first time I felt that the teacher cared about what I did/how could do. Highly recommend!"
• Elizabeth R - VO Student
"This place is great, couldn't ask for better vocal training and direction. Mike is the literal man. Sign up for all of his stuff, you will not be disappointed."
• Paris S - VO Student
"Michael was an excellent and personable teacher, with tons of industry experience. I come from a professional dance background (nearly 14 years working touring and internationally) , so I enjoy teachers, coaches (etc...) with the ability to give feedback quickly and directly. I found Michael's style to be honest & fair while remaining encouraging. One aspect of the Fundamentals Workshop I enjoyed about the workshop is that it was carefully crafted to leave room to complete the curriculum, while also allowing room for questions and discussion about experience in the industry. Several questions led to more in-depth discussion, but we were able to complete the tasks set forth in the workshop in the time allotted. This is an important aspect of learning that I feel a lot of teachers who tend to sidetrack don't plan for properly. Michael handled his time expertly. The 2 1/2 hours flew by, and I can't wait to go back for more."
