Scoot... you HAVE to come here in Sept!

BUT... if you can't . I worked the Houston market for a long time and don't know anyone who is good at coaching. One of my students has a coach she works with there... but from her level of her improvement, I don't think I would recommend him.

Bob Magruder used to do workshops there on occasion. He's in Dallas, and would travel to Houston every 3 months. Denise, and Actors Etc. would host him, and he'd work with Jerry Houston.

I've worked with them and even taught with Magruder. They're both very good.

Bob just had surgery on his knee, so he probably won't be doing anyting real soon... but I believe his website is magrudermedia.com? You can look him up... Bob Magruder, on Lemmon Dr. in Dallas.

Sorry I can't recommend someone who actually lives in Houston! It's same in San Antonio and Austin. There are people teaching because they can't work. There are people teaching who have never had a VO job. If there are good VO teachers there--and I'm not saying there aren't--I don't know about them.
