Stronger Together
Take your voiceover career to the next level

Join our upcoming FREE voiceover webinar

Network better

Working as a voiceover actor can be like existing in a vacuum. Often working in a sound booth, you don’t get to see anybody, talk about your profession or compare ideas with others in the industry. That’s why we decided to create a body that brings everyone together.

Caring is sharing

In the tradition of the great British literary salons of the 18th century, which sprang up around the coffee houses of London, we are a group of voiceover artists and professionals who come together to share ideas and advice.

Teaching you the business of show business

Being a voiceover actor isn’t just about having a great voice. Part of the job involves industry networking, marketing your own personal brand and promoting your VO business.
