My Voice World

YOUR VOICE IS PERFECT FOR NARRATION

HERE IS WHY YOUR VOICE WOULD BE GREAT FOR NARRATION

If we compare voiceover to running, narration is definitely the marathon.

Your quiz results indicated that you’re interested in narrating long-form stories, willing to dig deep and put hours of prep into your sessions to produce the best results.

Because remember, once we’re in session we’re expected to be “on point.”

That basically means we should be able to execute the copy with a sense of ease. And when it’s long form, we have to think ahead.

This is a really cool genre of voiceover! And I can definitely help you get started.

MY NARRATION WORK

When it comes to Narration Voiceover, everything I teach in My Voice World Academy are the skills I’ve developed from recording over 5,000 voiceover sessions. I’m not giving you theory or an abstract concept about voiceover. I summarized 15+ years of experience into 3 modules packed with concise, easy to follow lessons that I honestly feel will shave years off the learning curve. They’re the same tools I’ve used to narrate films on Smithsonian Channel like Secrets of the Hive, and video games like Call of Duty.

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT MY VOICE WORLD ACADEMY IS ALL ABOUT

THE STEP BY STEP ONLINE COURSE TO LAUNCH YOUR VOICE ACTING CAREER

My Voice World Academy was built from the 15+ year career that I’ve had as a voice actor. While transitioning from on-screen acting to voice acting, I was able to learn about the business from the ground up. Through trial and error, I crafted a journey that led me to work with some of the top brands in the nation and be a part of some of the biggest franchises in the world.

I’M DUSTIN JAMES LEIGHTON, YOUR ONLINE COACH

My name is Dustin and I am a voice actor best known for my work on prime-time television including the Super Bowl, Emmy winning productions and commercial campaigns for multiple national brands.

I’ve been thankful to have my voice on the Dodge “Welcome to the Brotherhood of Muscle” national campaign and introduce musical artists including Red Hot Chili Peppers and Bruno Mars. I’ve also had the privilege of being a part of the Transformers franchise.

With 15+ years of voice actor experience, I’ve been able to become an expert on the art of voiceover, the business of voiceover and everything that goes into building your own home recording studio.

frequently asked questions

DO I NEED TO BE A TRAINED VOICE ACTOR?

No, now more than ever advertising agencies and networks are looking for that “authentic sound.” Your natural speaking voice may be enough to land you a national account.

 

CAN I REALLY MAKE A LIVING AS A VOICE ACTOR?

I have made a full time living for more than 15 years! It’s not easy, but if you’re focused and persistent it’s 100% possible.

 

I’M AN ON-SCREEN ACTOR. CAN I DO BOTH?

Most of the current commercial television campaigns are being branded by “authentic, real voices.” On-camera actors are in greater demand more than they’ve ever been.

DO I NEED PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT TO GET STARTED?

No, agents across the country are accepting auditions recorded on their talent’s smartphones.

 

HOW LONG WILL I HAVE ACCESS TO THE COURSE?

The courses are accessible online, 24-7, for as long as you remain a member.

 

WHAT SKILL SETS DO I NEED TO WORK AS A VOICE ACTOR?

Honestly, I hate to admit it, but if you understand the basics of craft, have a sense of the business, and can record auditions, you WILL be competitive with the major voice actors across the country.

“I am grateful for Dustin creating My Voice World. I was in a training rut before I started his courses and he helped me grow and be a better voice actor. With his tools and coaching, I feel more confidence when I’m in the booth and incorporating the 5 W’s is key in ALL my voiceover reads now. Have Dustin be a pivotal game-changer in your VO career!”

“Having taken quite a few voiceover workshops online from different coaches over the years, it was clear to me very early on — that Dustin not only has a very solid understanding of the craft, but also a gift for sharing that wisdom in a clear, understandable way through My Voice World.”

- Rich Miller

“My voice would always get fatigued when I would audition or record. Within the first 20 seconds of our VO workout My Voice World clued me in to something- I was trying too hard. Trying too hard to make my voice sound like what I thought it should, instead of just using my voice and letting its naturalness come through. Since then and it's made recording so much more enjoyable.”

- Andrea Salazar
