How It Works...

You'll work directly with me, Lenny B, using your own voice recordings as we explore the techniques, decision-making process, and critical listening skills behind professional voice production.

More than learning what the controls do, you'll learn how I evaluate dynamic consistency, shape performance, and use compression to create polished, broadcast-quality voice recordings. This is an opportunity to learn the principles, philosophies, and practical techniques I rely on every day when producing voice recordings for clients.

There are two pricing options.

Session Details —

Each coaching session is 90 minutes in length and includes a video recording of our session that you can revisit long after the live training has concluded. As a foundation for the program, you'll also receive my Recording Levels for Voice training course (free), which serves as a prerequisite and ensures we begin with a common understanding of proper gain staging and recording fundamentals before Session 1.

Sessions may be purchased individually or as a complete two-session program. When both sessions are purchased together, you'll receive a 10% package discount. While not required, many participants choose to submit their own voice recordings in advance so we can apply the concepts directly to their audio, equipment, and production goals. Alternatively, we can work with provided examples and training material that I supply during the sessions, allowing you to observe and learn the same techniques on a variety of real-world recordings.
