Hey there, hero! Welcome!
Thank you for joining the VOHeroes Mastering Podcasting training curriculum, where you’ll enjoy instant access to both of the podcasting courses taught in the VOHeroes Pro curriculum, and all other membership benefits.
I know you’re excited to get started, and rather than just turning you loose on the site and hope you can find your way around, I want to make sure you have everything you initially need – let’s get you set up for success!
So go through the items below, getting familiar with the site, your account and other things you’ll need to know to work effectively with VOHeroes.
Finalize your account settings

Bling out your profile
Give everyone a face to match to the voice! Add a profile photo and a cover photo to your profile, and pick a nickname. Just choose Edit from your Profile menu:
Check out your courses
Next, confirm that you have access to the 6 courses in the Audiobook Narration track. Just click on the Courses menu item on the left hand sidebar:
You’ll be on the VOHeroes Pro Curriculum page. In the section on that page called Courses you’re enrolled in, you should see that you have access to the two podcasting courses (as well as two bonus courses, VOHeroes 101 and Getting Started in Voice Over, courses that help you understand how to use this site, and the basics of VO that everyone needs to know).
- VOHeroes 101
- Getting Started in Voice Over
- Mastering Home VO Gear
- Mastering Microphone Technique
- Mastering Audio Podcasting – Part 1
- Mastering Audio Podcasting – Part 2
Be sure to take these classes in order. They build on one another in a very specific progression.
Your Private Coaching Sessions
Keep in mind that you have two 30-minute private coaching sessions as part of your package. It’s probably best to save those until after you take the courses, as much of what is bedrock knowledge is in those courses. Save the coaching sessions to help you hone and refine your particular journey in podcasting. When you’re ready, email David to set up your sessions.
Keep us on our toes
You’re automatically a member of the group linked above in the top menu, Site Feedback.
As you work with the resources on the site, be on the lookout for errors, typos and things you think could be clearer. Then, be sure to click that Site Feedback link, and post anything you think we should update as individual discussions in that forum.
Take your first course: VOHeroes 101
Once you get all that other stuff taken care of, start your journey with VOHeroes 101, the course we’ve created to help you use the VOHeroes.com site like the Pro that you are. If you’ve got a question about how something works on VOHeroes.com, it’s probably spelled out and demonstrated in this course.
We also keep VOHeroes 101 updated as we improve the way things work on the site, so go back to it if you forget how to do something or if something doesn’t work the way it should (and if we haven’t covered that thing you’re trying to do, let us know so we can add a “how-to” to the VOHeroes 101 lessons).
