Coaching Voiceover Clients That Succeed

Many of Gina’s youth coaching clients are also multi-hyphenate performing arts professionals! Several have appeared in Broadway shows including The Lion King, Merrily We Roll Along, and Once Upon A One More Time as well as City Center Encores’ production of Oliver, and the national tour of Peter Pan. Her children’s division also includes award winning, competitive dancers and high achieving singers and on-camera actors.

There are many talented children in the performing arts, but there is much more that goes into casting than just talent, charisma, or natural ability. It is important for kids and teens in voiceover to be focused, professional, prepared, and open to direction. Through coaching with Gina, your child can improve on these skills and develop a better understanding of the voiceover industry in general.

Casting directors and creative teams for commercials and animated projects want to work with youth voice actors who understand how to excel in a professional environment. The same goes for parents. When parents are better informed and more prepared to help their children show up like pros, their children are more likely to continue to book work in the voiceover world.

Gina has been working with kids and teens for over 25 years. Her pride and passion in her work has always come from her great connections with her youth clients. Gina is upbeat, fun, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about her work with families in the arts. Her extensive experience as both a teacher and voice actor make her one of the most successful coaches in the business. She looks forward to meeting and working with new families.

See What Parents Are Saying

"Gina connected with my daughter from the very first coaching session! Because of Gina’s industry knowledge, her knack for working with kids, and schedule flexibility, even our short notice VO auditions are always fun and high quality. With Gina, our daughter loves to learn the VO craft at professional level. With Gina’s coaching, we no longer have to stress and guess how to approach the work!"

Paloma, Abril Bellido's mom

Jordan absolutely adores working with Gina. Just recently he coached with Gina on a Paw Patrol video game and he felt so confident going into the recording session. He loves that Gina prepares him to handle any situation or changes that the director may make. Learning in a fun and relaxed session is the best way for him to learn and Gina knows exactly how to get that done.

Nicole, Jordan Coates’ mom

Gina is the best! She has been my daughter's voiceover coach for over two years. Not only is Gina professional and knowledgeable, she is kind and compassionate. Gina is able to get the best out of my daughter. She genuinely wants to see her succeed and this shows in the way that Gina works with her. Gina has taught us both so much about the voiceover field. The skills that my daughter has worked on with Gina will benefit her not only in voiceover but in life as well.

Tina, Ellie Grace’s mom

We had been submitting weekly VO auditions for close to a year. While they passed the agent and manager quality control, we weren’t getting traction with casting. We started working with Gina and immediately started getting call backs! Gina works magic with her editing and interpretation of sides to add just a little extra something that gets the submission noticed.

Michelle, Colette Goodman’s mom

Gina’s one-on-one coaching and the workshops she offers have been invaluable to my son. She really develops a rapport with her students, children and adults, that helps them feel comfortable enough to be themselves and put it all out there. Whenever he gets a big audition, we always reach out to Gina for a session, and she knows just how to offer feedback in a positive way and bring out the best in his work. He enjoys working with her tremendously!
