JMC Voiceover Coaching

Voice Over Coach JMC Has a Track Record of Building Careers

Results Don't Lie

During his career as a voice actor, voice over coach, and demo producer, J. Michael Collins has mentored some of the industry’s fastest rising stars. He has jump-started the careers of working voice over pros struggling through a lull in bookings and helped to change the lives of his coaching students by teaching them how to build their businesses beyond their expectations.

With a rare ear for nuance, and a prolific career as a top-booking talent, award-winning demo producer, and even casting for a number of his clients, J. Michael can break down and analyze your delivery with uncommon ease and expertise. More importantly, his proven performance-oriented coaching techniques will harness your strengths and help you rise above your weaknesses, learning how to give the right read the first time, every time.

A Voice Over Coach for the Modern Voice Acting World

J. Michael is well-known for his unique position as a creature of both the old and new schools of voiceover. Like many voice actors, J. Michael began his career exclusively as an agency-based talent, coming up in the brick-and-mortar world of VO. J. Michael is represented by several of the most prominent talent agencies in the business but has also established himself as the industry’s leading expert on modern online casting platforms, SEO-based casting, and cutting-edge voiceover trends.

If you are looking for a coach who understands that voice acting in the 21st century works far differently than it did in the past, JMC is the right fit for you. Work with J. Michael to stay several steps ahead of the competition, anticipating a change in today’s rapidly-shifting marketplace, and always thinking about what’s next, while consistently respecting the business and charging fair market rates that don’t undercut the competition.

No Workbooks

J. Michael believes you learn performance by performing. Not by busywork.

A Personalized, Bespoke Experience

Nothing defines quality quite like the personal touch. Voice over coaching with J. Michael will never be a cookie-cutter experience. Each talent is different, and no two programs of study will be the same. Script selection and progress will be defined by the needs and goals of each student, with each session conducted via video conference for a virtual in-studio feel.

Quality & Integrity

No Hidden Fees, Up-Sells, or Next Levels to Buy

J. Michael’s efficient and targeted coaching packages are meant to provide you exactly the level of skill-building you need to reach your booking goals, without milking your credit card until it melts. There are no hidden fees, extra optional services to buy, or pushes to do “just one more session” to get there. J. Michael will only accept your business if he believes he can help you see a return on your investment in a reasonable amount of time. Most students will take between 5-10 one-hour lessons, with all costs defined upfront. Demo production, separate business consulting, and J. Michael’s signature Success in Online Casting course can be discussed before you start coaching.

Good Faith Payment Plans

While J. Michael generally does not offer discounts on coaching or demo production, payment plans extending up to six months are available on a good faith basis.

An Exclusive Voice Over Coach

Due to J. Michael’s heavy booking schedule as a talent, he keeps no more than five students on the books at any one time.

JMC Voiceover J Michael Collins Coaching Clients

If you are a working pro and would like to consider a coaching package, (or even just a brush-up session,) with J. Michael, please submit a handful of recent auditions to jmichael@jmcvoiceover.com along with the reason for your interest in his services. You will receive a reply by the next business day in most cases. J. Michael loves working with talented newcomers to the industry but requires new talent interested in coaching to sign up for a one-hour talent evaluation prior to being accepted for any full coaching program.

This is necessary to discharge the ethical obligation of any coach to make sure the person they are taking money from has the genuine potential to see a return on their investment. If you are already actively auditioning, but have never had formal training, you are invited to submit up to ten recent auditions to jmichael@jmcvoiceover.com in lieu of a talent evaluation, along with the reason for your interest in working with J. Michael. J. Michael reserves the right to refuse service to anyone he feels would not benefit from his training.

JMC Voiceover Zieja

J. Michael Collins is the consummate professional – knowledgeable, accessible, and all-around easy to talk to. His coaching advice is spot on, and he goes out of his way to make sure that the up-and-coming voiceover artists in the industry are well equipped to handle the challenges of a rapidly changing and ever-evolving market.

Joe Zieja

JMC Voiceover Kath

J. Michael Collins is the quintessential – there really isn’t any better word for it (I looked it up) coach. He is unsurpassably professional, kind, gracious, funny, focused, gentle and tough. This winning combination creates success – for the talents career, self image, and goals. What’s not to love about that? Thank you J. Michael! You helped me transform my VO business into a thriving, vital, and fun adventure!

Kath Crumrine
-Voiceover Artist
JMC Voiceover Jas

I’ve called J. Michael “Sensei” and “Sifu” since I began working with him and it’s proven to be right on the mark! J. Michael is a master, and he teaches with a very Zen-like concentration and calmness! He’s friendly, professional, respectful, diligent, patient, engaging and makes your sessions enjoyable! I can seriously go on and on because J. Michael earned the praise; but the bottom line and all that really matters, is that he is a world class voiceover teacher! I know what you’re thinking: “Will he help ME, though..?” Yes. Yes he will.

Jas Patrick
-Voiceover Artist
JMC Voiceover John

When I first approached J. Michael Collins to discuss demo production, I was eager to make a big move in my voiceover career, to “level up” as they say. I had previously worked with J. Michael as a coach and was impressed by his deep knowledge of the VO industry, his ear for detail, and his ability to subtly tweak performances to bring out the best in his students. The entire demo creation experience was amazing: excellent coaching, brilliant script writing, and top-notch direction on recording days. All of the demos were delivered quickly, and the production values were second to none. Best of all, the process was fully collaborative. J. Michael took the time to listen to my input, incorporate my ideas into the finished products, and ensure that I was completely satisfied. The result? A whole suite of first-rate demos to add to my marketing toolbox, two Voice Arts Award nominations, and a place on the roster at WME. Not too shabby.
