[NEohioPAL] Voice Actors with Home Studios

Mon Mar 4 20:40:28 PST 2013

I've worked with Dan Popp at Colors Audio for many years and highly
recommend this class on home studio recording. He knows what he's talking
about in every aspect of being a Voice Over talent and producer.

Take *his* course and you'll be doing yourself a huge favor when you decide
to take *my* course!
