Her structure empowered me with the confidence I needed to really own my auditions and booth sessions - even over Zoom! I was so lucky to have found Tracey! She summarized her deep wealth of knowledge in such a digestible yet concrete format for me to benefit from in my process. Though I have been in the Voice Over business for a few years now, I lacked the artistry and process needed to take me to the next level.
Chris James, coaching and demo reel client I trust her to guide me down the right path, find the hidden opportunities in a script, and bring out the best in me. Ever since our first coaching session and the creation of my reel, she is the focus that brings focus to my focus. Whenever I am nervous about an audition, I always go to Tracey. Want someone to help you up your game? Tracey is the person for you! When you work with Tracey, you come away with the confidence and improved skills to put your best work forward the next time you are in the booth. Her knowledge and experience are perfectly balanced with her kindness and considerate coaching. You are truly in the presence of a voice over titan when you're working with Tracey. After working with her, I had more confidence and pride in my auditions than I'd ever had and feel well equipped with the tools to self-direct. She is a generous, knowledgeable, and highly skilled coach. Tracey has so many golden nuggets of wisdom and expertise. Nathan Chandler Michael Smith, Independent Study student I would recommend her to anyone interested in voice-over. The energy she brings to every coaching session inspired me to bring my best and to push myself to the limit. She balances a deep knowledge about her craft with a supportive honesty and a great sense of humour. I’m so grateful for Tracey’s guidance, and couldn’t have done it without her!
#Voice acting coaching series#
After many years, I finally booked not one but TWO roles on animated shows-both just so happen to be series regulars!!!! But I wouldn’t dare call it luck: it was hard work, trusting myself, patience, and a damn good teacher.
I was having so much more fun with my reads! Now when I send off a self-tape, I am confident that I’m submitting a competitive audition that sounds uniquely mine. I started to fully embrace my quirks while also applying her techniques of searching for clues in the script and marking the copy. Training with Tracey, and working alongside her as a coach, helped me to realize that I wasn’t truly making the characters mine.
