This program IS for you if…
✓ Whether part-time or full-time, you're serious about starting your voiceover career and you're ready to take the steps needed to properly launch your business
✓ You have some background in performance
✓ You're looking to build a solid foundation for a sustainable, lasting voiceover career
✓ You’re proactive and willing to put in the effort to get your business off the ground
✓ You’re open to learning, getting out of your comfort zone, and committing
This Program is NOT for you if…
❌ You’re looking for a "get-rich-quick-scheme" – yes, this program helps you to launch your voiceover career quicker, but like any business it takes time and dedication to grow your reputation, client base and overall business.
❌ You’re not a self-starter – in this business you need to be proactive and resilient.
❌ If you’re only looking for performance coaching – you’ll get some basic performance tips (plus access to a directory of vetted coaches), but this program focuses on everything involved in setting up your business
❌ If you’ve been told you have a great voice & think you just need to “get discovered”. There's a lot involved in starting a voiceover business, and although having a great voice is nice, it isn't nearly enough.
This program IS for me!
Here's what some 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 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!
