Audition Mastery

Specialized audition coaching to maximize your impact every time.

The climate of voice acting is changing rapidly.

On-camera actors are discovering commercials, documentaries and audiobooks as a new way of expressing their artistry and getting income.

Likewise, advertising agencies are creating commercials that look more like mini-movies than ads. They expect more than a voice; they want real people, reflecting real life.

Check out the video above to see where voice acting is heading.

Aspiring voice actors need to bring what actors are bringing to commercials like the above - themselves.

Luke wasn’t hired for his voice; he was hired for his ability to make us feel those things that are universally important to all of us: family, belonging, a sense of community.

You can learn to bring this same genuine relatability to your performances, no matter what the subject matter.

In Audition Mastery, the first thing we do is take the idea of “do I have a good voice?” and chuck it out the window. It’s no longer about the voice. It’s about you.

The second myth we crush is the idea that there’s a right way to do a script. There’s only your way. And when you bring your perspective to the story, it’s always right.

Let’s work together to eliminate the barriers that keep you from bringing your authentic self to a truthful moment.
We’ll delve deep into real script analysis and explore what Meisner meant when he said “the text is your enemy.”
There will be lots of emotionally charged scene work, dramatic and comedic, designed to tear down walls and get you feeling things you haven’t felt in a long time.
We’ll dig into why risking making a fool of ourselves is so important in voice acting.
Perhaps most importantly, we’ll explore together the truth that being a successful voice actor isn’t about perfection; it’s about moving the audience – just like Luke Grimes did in the Carhartt ad.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Nancy for a few months now. She is the consummate professional. Honest, insightful and dead-on target with her advice. Due to our work together I have had several successful encounters and just completed a web series. Couldn’t have done it without her. I enjoy working with her and look forward to a long relationship with this incredible talent."

Thanks for your help. I got it! The good news is they're going to use my voice and I have an in for future work. I've also been invited to review the animation before it is released. It's going to be used for the Museum's education outreach program for those not able to come to the museum to hear the stories being told. This gives them a sample of the kind of stories being told.

Nancy's motto, "Make it deeply personal" isn't just talk. She works tirelessly to find a deeper connection between you, the actor, and the material. I'm confident in saying, you'll get real results and palpable improvements to your performances by working with Nancy. I did.

“Nancy taught me how to bring the ACTING to voice acting. Her experience in the industry coupled with honesty and creativity gives her the skill to help you find yourself within a script. To find your truth in your read by remembering to "CREATE A BACKSTORY". I couldn't ask for more from a coach....Nurturing, yet strong and patient. I never felt silly or embarrassed when she got me to try something out of my comfort zone. Nancy is one of a kind!”

After many years of keeping my VO dreams on a shelf, I pulled them down in early 2016, dusted them off, and have been going at them ever since. Nancy Wilson was an integral part of this process, a huge inspiration to me, and I am forever grateful. She gave me steps and methods to practice how to find the heart and soul of any piece of commercial copy I'm given. I have accessed that information many, many times since she taught me, and every time I do, I can hear her voice stating her mantra, "Keep it personal." That's helped me ever since.

You were a huge help in getting me out of my head and into characters, and really pushing me past my negative self-talk.

I've attached a copy of a picture of me doing my first improv show, successfully I might add! Getting to say "yes", stretching the canvas and really going for it... you really were instrumental in that.

My whole life has improved because of the permission you facilitated in my life. Coming into this I didn't realize the depth of this well.
