If you are a working pro and would like to consider a coaching package, (or even just a brush-up session,) with J. Michael, please submit a handful of recent auditions to jmichael@jmcvoiceover.com along with the reason for your interest in his services. You will receive a reply by the next business day in most cases. J. Michael loves working with talented newcomers to the industry but requires new talent interested in coaching to sign up for a one-hour talent evaluation prior to being accepted for any full coaching program.
This is necessary to discharge the ethical obligation of any coach to make sure the person they are taking money from has the genuine potential to see a return on their investment. If you are already actively auditioning, but have never had formal training, you are invited to submit up to ten recent auditions to jmichael@jmcvoiceover.com in lieu of a talent evaluation, along with the reason for your interest in working with J. Michael. J. Michael reserves the right to refuse service to anyone he feels would not benefit from his training.
