Default Why do I need Kristine's help?

Because I would be thrilled to get some practical guidance from someone who knows what this business is about. For most of my life I have heard gee you have a great voice, you should be one of "those people".That is a kind thing to say,but no one can tell me how I become one of "those people". I would love to find out if I really had what it takes and if I do, what can I do to get started even in the most basic way. Here's to hope, thanks for your time.

"Why do I need Kristine Oller's help?"

I have been in small market radio for 25 years and have honed my VO and Prod skills, but when it comes to doing VO on a bigger scale, I'm still pretty much a Newbie. Just signed up with V123 in October and Voices in January with some relative success. There's been a lot of guess work involved and a lot of wasted time and resources in the learning process. There's a multitude of wisdom on this forum and others, but to have a focused session with Kristine and develop a specific strategy would be incredibly helpful.

Default Win free 2 hour session with Kristine Oller!

The reason I need a 2 hour career session with Kristine Oller is, while in the past I made a VO demo cd, but I was taking large doses of antibiots at that time and it made my voice raspy. Now my health is better and I am ready to get out there and do it with a clear confident voice. This is wher Kristine fits in.

Thank you,

Lynette Mieglitz

I have been practicing accents for 25 years by making funny answering machine messages. I can stay "in character" for all of 15 seconds or so! For the last year, I have been taking different beginning VO classes in the Portland, Oregon area. What I have found is that I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN! The courses in the Pacific Northwest are limited. I really want to find out what I've got and welcome the chance to study privately.

Well for starters who could resist a smile like that? The voice is probably the only God given gift to whatever extent that I have been granted. So, I would love to utilize my skills in this business as I have already started doing with ongoing coaching. Its really something to look back a few months or a year ago and see the progress. The voice is only one part of the transaction. What Kristene offers is a bigger part of the voice success equation than we probably realize. I would love your help, please?

Hi!
I need Kristine Oller's help because I will relocate from Europe to LA in the next couple of months for personal reasons. I enjoy a successful career in Europe but I need help to work out how to fit in the LA market. It worries me to start all over again, and I don't know the rules, the people, the studios etc... of LA. I need her expert insight to make sure I don't have to go back to a "normal" job, it would kill me! Thanks!

Since a little girl I knew what I wanted to do; be an actress. Did plays, improv. Soaked up film, TV, and radio. Then-- kids. They became my priority. They're now grown. Began my VO career over a year ago. Jumping in full emersion full time. I LOVE IT!!! I'm in hog heaven-- except-- I have absolutely no business skills whatsoever. I find myself lost, spinning my wheels trying to figure out how to market. I'm like the ball in a pinball machine bouncing around dropping money I don't have in a schizophrenic business attempt to achieve my goals. HELP!!!!

Why do I need Kristine Oller's help? Because I was let go from my radio gig in January and had to enter the real workforce to feed my family. I've been using my voice for my career for over 20 years and until now when I've had to switch careers, I never realized how good I had it. Being able to be creative with your voice is a gift from the man upstairs and not being able to use that gift is an injustice. I need to win this contest so that I can get back on path that was chosen for me and make ends meet doing it. I need a plan of action that will allow me to get back to doing what we all love to do. That's why I need Kristine Oller's help.

Chuck

Default Million Dollar Voice

My goal is to make $1 million a year with my voice. I need an action plan to get from point a to point z in manageable chunks and to stay on track. My tendency is to stray, get confused, go through numerous fits and starts and in general waste time and money. Eventually becoming frustrated, angry and consequently, never attaining my goal. Then redefining and reducing my expectations only to have the process repeat itself again. It's not for lack of talent or training but of focus and execution. I need your help.
