Squidoo! Not Skidoo!

 

Hi Everybody,

Just introduced to squidoo, and it sounds like a lot of fun. I'm a voice over coach and voice actor living in the Boise, Idaho area. We just moved back after living in Kansas City for 19 years. Really good to be home.

You can look forward to great voice over 'how to's', tips, and insights on my lens, with an emphasis on voice over technique and voice over marketing. Look for some interesting products in the near future.

Other lenses will include my passions and hobbies such as sporting clays, hunting, motorcycles (on and off road), general aviation (private aircraft), snowmobiling in Idaho, horse back riding, and more.

Can you see the mountains from your window?? I can, finally! After 19 years in Kansas City and only being able to see about 100 ft in front of me (okay, maybe a little exageration) it's so good to see the sky again! Whoooo hooo!!

It's going to take a while to get all the content uploaded that I would like to share with you. So hang on, good things are coming your way.

Sincerely,

Curt Hawkins

Voice Over Coaching Boot Camp 

Become An Accomplished Voice Actor

Voice Over Tele Coaching Boot Camp

"You should be on the Radio!" Ever Heard That Before? Here's Your Opportunity

Who else wants to earn more than they're worth? As a voice actor, you have the potential to earn $$ hundreds of dollars per hour. If you want on the fast track my proven voice over coaching program is a no brainer.

Dear Voice Talent,

You've heard about the awesome potential for a high paying career as a voice actor. You've heard about how this would give you more time with your family. How this would give you free time (insert hobby here). How a voice over career would get you out of that dreadful job your doing now. But I have one question for you..Do you have a product worth marketing? That's right, do you have a product that producers and directors want? If not, I strongly urge you to invest the time to become truly exceptional as a voice actor. Producers can smell a newbie not a mile away but a hundred miles away. One shot may be all you get to prove you belong in the industry. Better make it count.

I can help.

I'm willing to share with you every last performance technique that has helped me perform commercials for Wal-Mart, McDonald's, Block Buster Video and more.

Here's how it works.
Once each week, at the appointed time, you'll dial a special phone number. Through the magic of teleconference technology, you'll join me live and in person, along with your classmates.

About The Course
Before your classes begin, we'll send you a course book complete with scripts, resource materials and outlines for each of the 6 sessions.
Each week we will introduce an important performance concept relevant to your voiceover success and then you and your classmates will read copy for coaching and critique. There will also be plenty of time for your instructor to answer your questions and concerns and for you to benefit from the group learning experience.

Here's some of what you'll learn in this six week intensive voice over boot camp:

How to use and have command of the most sought after reads demanded by top advertising agencies.

The secret to becoming any character you want, by applying 5 simple steps.

How to appear as though you've been working for years, even though it may be your first gig! (how much would you pay for that information?)

You'll learn the key to unlocking a believable and trustworthy read every time.

How to use words that sell. How emphasizing the right words can take a good read to a great read.

How a great demo can get you booked without an audition.

1 session devoted completely to proven voice over marketing techniques.

Experience has shown that it's almost impossible to break into the lucrative (but highly competitive) field of voiceovers without a competent coach. In fact, even Tiger Woods has a coach.

You will simply make a phone call, in your pajamas if you wish, and join me as I help you become a legitimate competitor in this specialized high paying field - Curt Hawkins

Enroll now, and get these 3 valuable bonuses worth $523 dollars absolutely free (if accepted into the program)

Bonus #1: A private coaching session with me. That's right, 1 full hour dedicated to tweaking and fine tuning just you. A $225 dollar value, yours free with teleclass tuition.

Bonus #2: Limited 2 month e-mail support. You will have access directly to me for 2 months (5 e-mails/week) for questions, concerns and help. A $169 dollar value, yours free with teleclass tuition.

Bonus #3: My 'Voice Over Workout' CD & Scripts. A collection of my favorite techniques for improving my reads to give ad agencies what they want. A $129 dollar value, yours free with teleclass tuition.

I normally charge $225 an hour for private voiceover coaching. To get all the valuable, career-building information contained in this course would take 6 hours and cost you at least 1350 bucks!
But because you'll be learning with a small group of like-minded, qualified individuals, your investment is only $795 for the entire 6-week program, including all course materials.

One last thing. My voice-over Tele class is by audition only.

If I don't think you have a realistic chance to make it in this business, I refuse to accept your money. Therefore, I require a voice assessment and audition before I will accept you into this program.

What to do: Request an audition by clicking the link below. You will receive several scripts via e-mail. Practice the one that suits you best. Then, call the provided number to leave your audition. Your audition will be assessed on diction/articulation, pacing, vocal quality, and voice acting skills.

Beginner? Don't worry. We will take this into consideration. If we think you have what it takes, we will help you succeed.

The cost of this assessment is a humble $75 dollars. If we accept you into our teleclass training program after assessing your voice, we will deduct the $75 voice assessment fee from your teleclass tuition. Can you hear opportunity knocking?

Need a Guarantee? Here it is. This voice assessment is 100% money-back guaranteed. If, at the end of your conversation with our in-house advisor you feel the information gained was not worth the humble investment, simply let us know and we will issue a prompt and hassle free refund for the $75.

Monday Night Football?

Have you ever had anybody tell you, "hey, I heard you on television during Monday Night football?" I have, and I can tell you it's pretty cool! Imagine that being you. Imagine working from home. Pretty cool isn't it?

If you've had a burning desire to make a change in your life, now's the time. Good things come to those who wait, but only what's left by those of us who don't! You are capable of accomplishing a great deal in the next 12 months, but it all starts with one step.

Respectfully,

Curt Hawkins

P.S. Remember, your voice assessment is totally risk free. While it's fresh in your mind, click on the link now to start doing what you've been thinking about for years.
