coaching

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.

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.

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!

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. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who is serious about making voiceovers into a career.
