The Instructor gave us a full overview of what it takes to do voiceovers in the industry.. as well as some technical guides.. and exercises to maintain our voice. Most helpful was understanding emotional intent while reading.
Great class.. fun and interesting. Learned alot

Eric my instructor was easy to talk to and encouraging and realistic about what's involved in audio book narration. He read for me which have me a good idea of how a pro sounds and it connected the dots regarding the feedback he gave me on things like being fluid and pacing.
-
The class was really excellent. This was my first Coursehorse experience and I really didn't know what to expect. I recommend it to anyone interested in audiobook narration. Totally worth the time and money. I will be looking into my courses on this site.

The class was great! The instructor, Eric Yves Garcia , was as friendly and thoughtful as he was informative and professional. I was given very sound critiques for the practice pieces that we did and Eric provided us with resources that will definitely be useful as I break into doing voice work.
I wholeheartedly recommend this class.

Good class, unfortunately ran out of time before we could have both reading selections critiqued.
-
Eric is insightful, kind and creative. I really enjoyed taking this course as he touches on every aspect of audiobook narration and even went over class time as we had many questions. He mentioned the possibility of a part two class and I'm looking forward to when that happens!
-
Eric is so kind and informative. Also, his voice is so nice to listen to -- makes sense that he's a narrator! I hope he does a Level 2 class, I would love to take it.
-
A really engaging class leader. Really worthwhile gave us a real understanding of not just what the work would entail but how we should prepare. Really worthwhile learnt a lot and also very enjoyable.
-
Eric was very knowledgeable. The only glitch was trying to get into the zoom session due to tech issues. Fun to get a peek into another industry different from my own.
-
Eric delivered the goods -- masterfully guiding students through a day in the life of a narrator from prep work, self-care, technical proficiency, and beyond. And what a voice! He's in the right field. Fingers crossed for a Partt 2 to this course.
-
This was a truly fantastic class. I loved every minute of it and told everyone in my commercial VO class that they should take it. Eric is a warm, informative and perceptive teacher - he gave me great notes which turned my performance around. Highly recommended!

Eric Yves Garcia's class offers two helpful angles for people thinking about working in audiobook narration. First, he shares a detailed overview on working in the industry and the end-to-end process of getting and finishing a job, including mid-pandemic. Second, he gives on-the-spot notes and direction to students who read selections they have prepared for the class. The chance to re-read after feedback is truly useful, and the techniques suggested to individuals are useful for all of the students in the class. An enjoyable and professional session!

Great course instruction. Would make an outstanding one on one instructor. I hope he offers Advanced small group work.

Very knowledgeable and encouraging teacher, nice feedback and insights!
-
Eric was very informative and obviously cares about this industry. I appreciated his time he gave to each individual student but feel like the classes should be smaller so more attention can be given to the students without feeling rushed.
I am excited to see if I will be able to "break into" the narration industry.
Thank you!

It was interesting and the instructor was kind.
I was really hoping for more guidance on how to find jobs: ie, making a demo, where to look, how to look, etc.
It was a fun afternoon.
-
Eric Yves Garcia is an excellent teacher. He is very professional and I learned how to present myself when I do narration. I would love to do another class if he is teaching a part 2 or 3 of this. I felt like I was in acting class.
-
The “lecture” portion was packed with information (and didn’t feel like a lecture). The critique section was clear and helpful. Eric’s comments on each person’s reading were specific, but he made sure he mixed encouragement into his suggestions for improvement. Excellent class and good value for my investment.
-
The course was great, I really learned a lot. Eric was FANTASTIC! He really took the time to listen to everyone and gave very constructive advise and also answered every question posed to him.

I had a great time and learned a great deal. It was more suited for those who wanted a career in narrating audio books. I wish we had more time in the teaching session. Eric was patient and supportive. Overall a positive experience.

Eric Yvette Garcia is a wealth of knowledge for a newcomer like myself to the world of audiobook voiceovers. He shares the steps to starting the process, including finding your niche, getting your foot in the door, what is expected of you, and what you can expect. You will get to read for him and receive wonderful, useful advice on your technique. He is incredibly talented and informative. Highly recommend the class.

This class was absolutely fantastic and more than worth the price! It was fun, engaging, and super helpful. Eric provided a thorough, introductory overview of the audiobook industry and hearing about his own journey as a narrator was extremely beneficial. Getting to narrate my selected passage for the class was super fun and I received very helpful and specific feedback from Eric. It was also a great learning experience to hear other folks in the class narrate their passages and receive feedback. Overall, if you're interested in diving into audiobook narration, I can't recommend this class enough as a starting point!
-
Excellent class. Great overview of the field. Our instructor, Eric, was very generous with his time, giving individual and general tips, even going beyond the class time period.
-
I loved this intro class to audiobook narration, an area of acting that I have always wanted to explore. I took a bunch of notes that I gave me enough to think about as I plan my first demo reel. I appreciate Eric's encouraging, positive style during our individual reads, bc it was nerve-wracking, even as a working actor. I look forward to taking more classes with him. Thanks so much!
-
This is a terrific intro class that gives a general idea of the process and experience of voice narration. The instructor provides some excellent first hand experience as well as constructive feedback during the practical exercises. Highly recommended!

During this time of COVID-19, I have been doing some self-reflection and revisit an interest that I tabled for quite sometime.
Mr. Eric Yves Garcia shares his experience and gives you a good snapshot of what to expect. In addition, it was absolutely invaluable for me to have an opportunity to read a passage from both fiction and non-fiction and receive real time feedback.
I would recommend this class without reservation.

Eric was great! His feedback was very constructive and encouraging. The camaraderie among the group was also pretty great--people clapping after each turn and also sending words of encouragement through the group chat.
