4.1 VOHeroes Courses: instruction and theory
Enlarge this video to full screen by rolling over the bottom of the video frame, then click or tap on the four-corner icon at the far right of the toolbar. When this video is finished, click or tap on the blue Mark Complete button below to move on to the next step (if it’s gray, finish watching the video). If there is no button, you choose another topic from the list on the left.
NOTE: This lesson contains content that may only be applicable to active VOHeroes Pro members.
Watch the video for the 30,000 foot overview of how we’ve put the course progression together, and then get more details in the lessons up next.
The courses you’re enrolled in are available to you 24/7 here on the site. Feel free to access them whenever you want, and at whatever pace you prefer. Do note, that you will only be enrolled in courses that are open to your membership level. If you are not a Pro member, you will only be enrolled in open, free courses.
“What courses do I get to take as a Pro?”
PRO ONLY There are 36+ courses in the entire VOHeroes Pro curriculum, and we add new ones when new art forms (voice over for mobile device apps, anyone?), websites, ancillary skills or other things pop up.
The courses are meant to be taken in a particular order (you can see that order when you go to the Courses page and look at all the courses listed). We begin with the basics, and build from there.
You can take the courses in whatever order you like, but we recommend you take them in the order they are listed on the Courses page.
Each course consists of a number of lessons, and in each lesson there can be topics (like this course has).
“Where are all the courses?”
Just click on the Courses menu on the sidebar (if you’re on a computer). It looks like this when the sidebar is expanded:
And it looks like this when the sidebar is collapsed:
If you’re on a mobile device, use the hamburger menu at the top of each screen to reach the Courses menu:
So…that’s how to find the courses – we’re going to take an even deeper dive into how to get the most out of the courses in their own upcoming set of lessons.
But now that you’ve got some instruction under your belt, how do you put it into practice? With your monthly Workouts, that’s how. And that’s next.
I am so excited about this course! I have taken voiceover classes which have been very helpful, however, I really need to take this step by step to really build a business and career. Thank you!
This is REALLY helpful! Once I got my mic and Audacity set up, I’ve been bouncing around per audition needs. That’s one of the things I love about VO Heroes, being able to go into the class I need at the time. This was great to see for recommendations. Thank you!
Yes! Looking forward to getting to work! Poked about and can’t wait to start this Journey…4, 3, 2, 1…Let’s go!
