There’s so much to learn when starting your voice acting career. The types of work available, how to record yourself, setting up an environment for clean audio, finding opportunities, recording demos, creating performances that stand out, and way, way more. Most people start with a coach, but at hundreds of dollars an hour, asking these questions can get pricey.
That’s where Joe Zieja’s Voice Acting Academy comes in.
The centerpiece of the LearnVoiceActing.com course catalog, the Voice Acting Academy contains over 120 lessons on all the topics mentioned above and more. I’ve distilled my decade-plus of expertise into a comprehensive course to teach you how to build a career in voice acting wherever you put down your roots. With this course, we’ll make sure that once your foot is in the door, you’re the one clients keep calling back for more.

Online casting provides hundreds of opportunities a day for you to maximize your earnings and experience as a voice actor, but it’s so easy to get lost in the sea of mediocre talent with mediocre setups.
As one of the top booking talents on two of the biggest voice casting sites in history, I will show you exactly how to maximize your time on those platforms to supercharge your booking rate and start making real money.
Profile optimization, lightning-fast workflow, identifying the best opportunities, and submitting killer auditions and cover letters – it’s all right here in this first-of-its kind course.
Intrigued by the Crush Online Casting course, but want some more help configuring your profiles? What if I spend a day with you and a few other students walking you through setting up your profiles, samples, and proposal templates for the two biggest casting sites out there?
That’s what the Crush Online Casting Intensive is all about. We take a day going over the Crush Online Casting material live and set you up for auditioning success. I also take the time to listen to samples of your current auditions and give you technical feedback, so that not only is your profile up to snuff, but your audio quality is too. As an added bonus, you’ll get the 3 samples you provided for feedback mixed with music and keyworded, so you’ll have high-quality samples ready to show off your skills.
Walk away with all your questions answered and the confidence you need to take your casting site performance to the next level. We typically hold these only twice a month, and spaces are extremely limited.
One of the questions I get all the time is, “How did you do that with your voice?!” I have the privilege to use my voice in many different ways to bring a lot of great characters to life. But here’s the secret: anyone can do it!
In this mini-course, some of which is pulled from the main Voice Acting Academy, I break down my method for creating incredible character voices, not only by just sounding different, but by inhabiting living, breathing characters that come to life off the page. If you want to work on your self-confidence, improve your improvisational skills, and create some really fun character voices along the way, Creating Character Voices is for you.
To be successful in voice acting these days, not only do you need to be great behind the mic, but you also need to sell yourself effectively. It’s vital to growing a stable pipeline of work that you use effective communication to reach your intended audience and convince them that your email is worth saving instead of deleting.
Perfect Pitches is just that- a pack of proven pitch letters that I’ve used to land thousands of jobs, transformed into templates so you can learn from and adapt them to your brand and voice. Stop wondering if you’re saying too much or not enough! Perfect Pitches includes 3 Agent, 3 Direct Marketing, and 3 Casting Website pitch templates PLUS a curated list of vocal vocabulary that clients use every day when describing the voice they’re looking for.
Connect with your clients and land roster additions by pitching yourself effectively with Powerful Pitches!
Looking for the “Easy” button in your DAW? You’ve found it! Stop wasting time trying to find effective macros, keybindings, and effects settings with the Audio Preset Packs! I give you access to the job file I personally use as my template to every project I create in my DAW.
This isn’t just for people who use the same DAW as me- it’s adapted to work in Studio One, Pro Tools, Reaper, Logic, Audacity, Adobe Audition, and FL Studio! Along with presets that are drag-and-drop for your DAW of choice, you get detailed instructions on the macros I use every day and how you can set them up in your DAW.

Chances are you’ve spent some time on social media today. It’s a great way to stay connected with friends and family as well as find community with people all around the globe. But for a voice actor, it can be so much more than that; social media can be your tool to landing more jobs, retaining clients, and ensuring that your voice acting journey blossoms into a lifelong career.
But I don’t need to tell you that social media is a double-edged sword. If you fail to keep your presence consistent, whether that’s with a tweet that missed the mark or simply by letting your online presence wither, you’ll have a brand that makes you want to hit the delete button and start again. With Master Social Media, I’ll share my philosophy on maintaining your online presence, how to stay consistent with your branding, and ways that you can use social media to find more clients and stay ahead of the competition.
Get a handle on your handle, and master social media!
If it takes you ten minutes to export an audition in your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), you’re doing it wrong. But the problem is that DAWs are incredibly complex programs, designed for music producers, movie soundtracks, composers writing for 180-piece orchestras.
In DAW Mastery For Voice Actors, we look at all the most popular DAWs in the world with a twist – we’re only interested in maximizing our effectiveness, and our sound, as voice actors. Dispensing with the overly-complicated tools and processes that make a DAW seem like a 50,000-piece jigsaw puzzle, this course breaks everything down into something simple, empowering, and easy to remember.
If you are intimidated by these pieces of software and don’t know where to get started – or you want to turn yourself into an editing machine, unencumbered by menus, clicks, and audio drivers, this course is for you. We will show you EVERY step in EVERY DAW, no matter which one you choose. When you’re done, you won’t be wondering anymore how, or when to use compression, what a macro is, or how to build a signal chain in Adobe Audition, Reaper, Logic, ProTools, Cubase, Studio One, and more.
If you’ve been a voice actor for more than ten seconds, you’ve heard the phrase “be more conversational.” The “Conversational Read” is the gold standard of all voice acting, not limited to commercials and corporate, but extending into character work as well. If your animation and video game work isn’t grounded in actual conversations, the reads aren’t believable. The problem? Nobody knows what it means.
In The Conversational Connoisseur, not only will we dial in what clients mean when they say conversational – we’ll also actually study conversations. How often do you notice how you speak to friends? How your parents speak to you? These nuances are part of human nature, undetectable unless you’re looking for them. Using the incredible tool of Contextual Transposition, this course unlocks the power of conversations by studying actual conversations and applying them to your reads. Part linguistics, part acting, part social psychology, there is no program like this in the world.
The elite, one-year accelerator program exclusively available for those already enrolled in the Voice Acting Academy, Pandora’s Vox is your ticket to incredible progress in a short amount of time. With access to workshops, one-on-one coaching, help with your audio, and professionally produced demos, this program is not for the faint of heart.
Application calls are held twice a year, and Academy participants will be notified by email and the private Facebook group regarding deadlines. Although actors of all experience levels are considered, only those with the right attitude and appetite for success are welcomed into the final program.
