4.6 VOHeroes ProConnect: discussion and mutual support

NOTE: This lesson contains content that may only be applicable to active VOHeroes Pro members.

PROS ONLY One of the most valuable aspects of the entire VOHeroes training program is the private, moderated and supportive ProConnect discussion group. It’s only open to active VOHeroes Pro and Pro Emeritus members.

Like groups on social media, meetup groups, even old-school bulletin-board systems (BBSs – anyone remember those?) and chat groups, the ProConnect discussion group is there for you to share challenges and ask for guidance, offer opinions on industry developments, and get information from both the VOHeroes coaching team and your fellow students on all the topics raised.

It’s private. Really private.

It’s important to note that we’ve placed ProConnect on the VOHeroes website, after years of its existence on Facebook. We did this because people were moving toward a distrust of Facebook in general, and specifically, they were complaining about Facebook’s disregard for protection of personal information.

But the biggest reason we’ve made ProConnect private is so that you are given a safe environment to engage in exploration, trial and error, failure and review, and deep and informative discussion about your VO practice and voice over in general.

How to find ProConnect
