New! Zoom: The Connected Voice Over Actor: Remote Session Mastery (Source-Connect and Beyond!) with Frank Verderosa, Award-winning Audio Engineer and Voiceover Casting Director

3-Hour Interactive VO Intensive (includes a 10-minute mid-session break)

The landscape of voiceover has changed dramatically. Gone are the days when booking a job meant showing up to a brick-and-mortar studio.

Today, your booth is your studio, and your tech stack is your calling card.

Lacking tech essentials—or tripping up on connection protocols—can cost you a booking on the spot. Clients operate on tight, expensive deadlines; if your connection fails, they won't wait—they’ll hire another actor. Having your technology together isn't just about technical comfort—it can literally save your career and save you hundreds of dollars a year in lost bookings.

While Source-Connect remains the industry standard, it isn’t the only platform in use. Even if your agent swears it’s a Source-Connect booking, you might get a morning-of link for SessionLinkPRO, Cleanfeed, ipDTL, or similar web tools.

This intensive isn’t a passive lecture. We DRILL IT as a group in real time!

What We Will Cover & Practice:

⚬ Directory Networking: Find and add each other in the Source Elements directory so you’re connected and ready before session day.

⚬ Platform Demystification: Learn how Source-Connect (SC3 vs. SC4), SessionLinkPRO, Cleanfeed, and ipDTL differ and when clients choose them.

⚬ Video Chat Integration: Why clients put you on Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet during a record, and how to route audio cleanly without feedback loops or echo.

⚬ Live Connectivity Drills: Establish multi-point connections as a group and practice platform-swapping under realistic session conditions.

⚬ Real-World Troubleshooting: Identify and fix connection glitches and audio routing errors in real time when they happen.

Prerequisites & Equipment Setup

To participate fully in the live drills, students need:

1. Source-Connect Access: An active license or free trial for Source-Connect Standard (v3.9) or Source-Connect 4. (If using a trial, please activate it 1–2 days prior to class).
    
2. 2. Ethernet Connection: A stable, hardwired Ethernet connection is strongly encouraged for remote session work. (Don’t stress if you don’t have one set up yet—you’ll experience in class why it’s so important).
    
3. Audio Gear: Your standard VO microphone and audio interface set up and ready in your recording space.

Student Takeaways

⚬ Panic-Free Sessions: Know exactly what steps to take when an engineer changes software 10 minutes before call time.

⚬ 60-Second Troubleshooting Checklist: Resolve routing or connection hiccups quickly while staying professional under pressure.

⚬ Validated Home Studio: Walk away with a fully tested, client-verified setup ready for live-directed work.

One of the biggest takeaways from this intensive could actually SAVE YOU MONEY!

Frank has found that in nearly every class he teaches, several actors discover they're paying $35 a month for Source-Connect subscriptions they don't actually need!

That's a potential savings of $420 a year!

You'll learn which remote recording tools and subscriptions are truly essential, which ones you can skip, and how to avoid spending money on technology you don't need.

Work smarter, sound professional, and stop paying for unnecessary subscriptions!
