This program IS for you if…

✔ You want a clear roadmap for building a sustainable and profitable voiceover career - without guessing your way through it

✔ You’re serious about laying strong foundations now so your career can actually grow and last

✔ You’re ready to take consistent action, not just consume more information

✔ You're open to learning, evolving and stepping out of your comfort zone

✔ You already have some performance experience and want to turn it into professional voiceover work

This Program is NOT for you if…

❌ You're looking for a "get rich quick" scheme -This program helps you build the foundations to launch your voiceover career with clarity and confidence, but like any business, it takes time and dedication to grow.

❌ You're not a self-starter - in this business, especially when you're starting out, you need to be proactive

❌ If you're only looking for performance coaching. Although you'll get some basic performance tips plus access to a directory of vetted coaches, this is not a comprehensive craft-development program

Here's what past students have to say:

"I wish I could give more than a 5-star review."

I gotta rave about this. I wish I could give more than a 5-star review. Every VO artist should have Dervla Trainor’s VO Kickstart Program. The hours and experience laid out in the course is well worth the value!

"It changed everything for me."

VO Kickstart Program is absolutely amazing! It covers everything you need to know about voice acting and even dives into the business side of things. It changed everything for me. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to pursue their VO dreams!

- Nate S

"It not only taught me what I need (and don’t need!)... but I now have a locked-in strategy moving forward too!"

This program was so comprehensive! When I started I wasn’t able to figure out a clear path or find the exact steps I needed to take to start my voiceover business. Now I have everything set-up and I’m excited and confident on how to grow my career. It not only taught me what I need (and don’t need!) to earn an income like working pro voice actors do, but I now have a locked-in strategy moving forward too!

- Rowan A

"I finished feeling confident, prepared, and excited"

As someone just starting out in voiceover, I was feeling intimidated and overwhelmed by all the information out there. The VO Kickstart program completely changed that. Dervla’s course streamlined everything I needed to know and gave me a clear, realistic path forward. I finished feeling confident, prepared, and excited to take the next steps in my VO journey.

"You are worth the investment!"

You are worth the investment! I appreciated the group zoom calls, that complimented the course. If I had just been staring at a list of tasks to check off, my motivation and enthusiasm may have disappeared. No regrets making a connection with Dervla and fellow students.

- Andy P

"It was a great introduction to everything voiceover related"

... the course was awesome! It was a great introduction to everything voiceover related, you were very personable and knowledgeable, and all the extra links and lists you provided will be super helpful going forward.
