Voice Over Coaching & Demo Reel Production w. Shelly Shenoy

Sage advice from a Voice Over Veteran:
• My #1 Voice Over hack for the long winter months •
🔥Get a heated blanket!!!🔥
Since I can’t have my radiator on because it hisses and clanks ONLY while trying to record -for the record because it’s an ass hat - this is how I survive. I wrap myself in this heated bad boy every single morning as I do my auditions. It’s silent, polite, so soft and warm and cuddly, and I don’t freeze my b***y off in my sound studio, ever. 🎬🎤🎭
To all the voice over actors reading, take this advice and run with it. I don’t want any of you to be voice over artist icicles! 🥶❌🥰❤️
For the record, the brand I trust & have used for years, is Beautyrest - which I also happen to be the voice of!!!! Bahahaha 😂🎤💖🎬👌❤️🥇

I didn’t want to be a coach or a director. I wanted to be the star.
Then, I didn’t have a choice. 👀

The story: During a short period of time where I wasn’t able to work (10 years ago) I created this business. Now I coach & mentor voice over artists all over the world.
•
In 2017 I was titled best voice over coach in the country (by people that gave me fancy ribbons). 🥇
•
My students have booked national & international campaigns, video games, movies, podcasts, radio plays, animated shorts, web series, cartoons, narrations, promos, political campaigns and my Alumni talent polish up with me on their huge auditions all year long.

Coaching is what got me directing with & the
•
Coaching made me an audio producer a casting director & a complete advertising agency. I have sold over 2 dozen of the commercials I’ve written for students and put them on national radio. I’m now a published copywriter. My loop groups have performed in the biggest video games in the world. I have television stations that contact me regularly to ask if I have talent able to voice match for ADR in very tricky audio situations. I am always able to provide them the talent.

Every morning I wake up to new inquiries from around the globe, by kind & exciting artists that want to do better. I open their messages while I have my coffee and I devour their stories.

This is just to serve as a small reminder: your dreams can and will come true >> HELP OTHERS GENEROUSLY

I needed a prestigious studio shot of myself as a voice over coach & director, how did I do? 😳

Why, you ask?

The amazing people at voices.com told me they were going to feature me during the month of March as the “greatest voice over coach alive on earth” (maybe I’m paraphrasing? I haven’t had my coffee) and I looked at all their past voice over coaches and how seriously great their studio portraits were I was like WOW I BETTER GET A SERIOUS PIC OVER TO THEM RIGHT AWAY!


So I sent this.

And I waited to hear back...


And waited


And then they wrote back and basically said something like “WOW. You’re... very, very special.” And I was like 🤩🤩🤩 OMG YOU GET ME!!!
•
Since March 1st let’s just say the VO coaching inquiries I’ve gotten have been VERY, VERY ....interesting. 😂 So, sorry I’ve been missing on Instagram this month. I’m just weirded out on the weird train over here, but wanted to say heeeyyyy! 🙋‍♀️🤓🥸🤪

I still quote my first mantra to the actors & voice over artists I coach every week. At the very beginning, when I had nothing, no money, no connections, no resume. Just a young actor with spit fire gusto, newly arrived in New York City - and no idea how to do ANYTHING (& no money to do anything WITH!) - I only knew one thing & I lived by it. “I’m super amazing - but no one has known, no one does know, and no one might not ever know - so I better get my ass out there. Because right now, I’m my own agent. I’m my ONLY agent. I’ve only got one client - it’s me. And I’m gonna fight like hell for me.
•
•
So what about you? Where are you creatively? And, are you fighting like hell for yourselves??
•
•
My mantra for all of you now, even if you’re not an actor or a voice over artist - no matter who you are, this is for you:
•
“If you let the artist out that is within you, the artist that is within you will save you. If you do not let the artist out that is within you, the artist that is within you will destroy you.”
