V.O. Dojo Programs and Belt Levels
The V.O. Dojo programs are designed to guide, support, connect, and accelerate you every step of the way from “I Don’t Know” to “Working Pro”. We divide the journey into the “Development” and “Working Pro” Divisions.
As is traditional in martial arts, the V.O. Dojo breaks down your voiceover journey into belt levels – understandable and achievable sections that mark your progress from experiencing the first spark of interest in voiceover to becoming a master of your craft.
Here's how our programs and belt levels work together:
The "You Should Do Voiceover" Launchpad + Workouts builds awareness and offers participants a wonderful introduction to the world of voiceover. As a White Belt, you'll have the opportunity to experiment with a wide variety of voiceover copy in a safe and supportive environment, understand what it takes to build a sustained career in V.O., and get a thorough overview of the many ways your voice could be making money.
From Mystery to Mastery is the V.O. Dojo's program for voiceover artists who are ready to get seriously started with their careers. Mystery to Mastery (also known as M2M) is full training, demystifying the art and business of voiceover while guiding members through the five belts:
YELLOW BELT – Exploration – playing with the awareness awakened in the YSDO intensive, continuing to explore the genres of voiceover, and laying your foundation of skills.
GREEN BELT – Self Exploration/Demo Preparation – sharing your truth, trusting your voice, and finding out what YOU’RE bringing to the voice over party in preparation for your demo
BLUE BELT – Demo Production – we guide you as you find the copy that resonates with you to create a demo that is as cutting-edge competitive as it is truly you.
BROWN BELT – Integration – getting your knockout demo into the world, showing you how to find the right representation, building your own client list, and creating the sustained, successful voice over career that you want.
When you complete the M2M program, you earned your BLACK BELT status… Now you are ready… Now your work begins as you move to the Working Pro Division.
