Meet Rebecca Davis
Rebecca's day starts at 7:30 AM, which is a great routine for those looking to balance work and personal life effectively. After a morning walk with her husband and dogs, she has breakfast and checks her emails by 9 AM. Depending on her schedule, she may or may not shower—yes, that's the beauty of working from home!
By 9:30 or 10 AM, she's diving into her voiceover work, prioritizing auditions and jobs. She also makes time for Facebook, which she uses not only for personal enjoyment but also as a powerful networking tool. Rebecca is known for her engaging and authentic posts that spark hundreds of responses.
Rebecca primarily works in video games and animation, which aligns perfectly with her background in stage acting. She enjoys the depth and variety these roles offer, from brief lines to projects that span years. While she does her fair share of commercial work and IVR systems, her passion clearly lies in bringing animated characters to life.
Introducing VO Weekly Workout
So, what exactly is VO Weekly Workout? It's an innovative platform designed to help voice actors of all levels hone their skills. Here's how it works:
Bi-Weekly Directors: Every couple of weeks, a new industry professional—be it a voice director or a coach—leads the workout.
Participation: Up to 50 participants can sign up for just $20 each. After receiving the director's chosen scripts, they have a week to record and submit their auditions.
Feedback: The director listens to all submissions and provides detailed feedback. Participants can read all the feedback and listen to everyone's submissions, which is incredibly educational.
The Value of Listening: One of the standout features of VO Weekly Workout is the ability to listen to others' submissions and feedback. This not only helps you understand where you stand but also lets you learn from the strengths and mistakes of others. It's like having a window into a wide array of acting styles and techniques, all for a fraction of the cost of traditional classes.
Live Feedback Sessions
For those looking for even more personalized feedback, there's VO Plus. The first 10 people to sign up get the opportunity to receive live feedback and redirects from the director in a Zoom session. Even if you're not one of the first 10, you can still watch the session and learn from it.

Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned pro, VO Weekly Workout offers immense value. For beginners, it's a fantastic way to learn and improve quickly.
