-If you want training to break into Voice Over work, Donald Pirie is your man. Donald is that rare combination of knowledgeable, engaging, inspiring and insightful who shows you the ropes with humour and a light touch. His understanding of the industry is matched only by the warmth and inclusivity of his teaching. If you are lucky enough to join one of his small groups, you are bound to come away with endless good things you didn’t know you didn’t know, plus his step-by-step guidance on how to build on your innate skills. Donald goes above and beyond. One of the best on-line training events I have ever attended – bar none.

-I had SO much fun doing your VO course, I think you are an exceptional teacher and it was a real delight to learn from your many decades of experience. Huge thanks for your boundless motivation and support throughout!
