RichCraft offers a range of services, which you can see below. For coaching, we either work in person with you at RichCraft studios in Bath, UK or via Zoom video. We must be able to see you in order to coach you effectively. However, we only look at you with our ears whilst you are voicing! So no stage fright! Don’t just take our word for it, have a look at some testimonials from other students to get a genuine account of what it’s like to work with RichCraft.
Services
1-2-1 coaching
Whether you are an aspiring voice over, a podcast presenter, lecturer, solicitor or even a scientist! You may want to improve your voice. We create customised lessons to fit your needs that suit any and all professions.
Some things you can expect to cover in one-to-one sessions: confidence, script interpretation, visualisation techniques, training your ears, self editing, breathing techniques, characterisation, accents, pronunciation, lists, mic technique, taking and acting on direction, professional studio etiquette, as well as top tips for kitting out your own home studio, if applicable. We will also advise you about marketing yourself as a professional voice over artist.
RICHCRAFT COACHES ARE 'EMPATHIC' TEACHERS, GIVING THEIR COACHING AN EXTRA DIMENSION.
RICHCRAFT COACHING IS NOT A 'ONE SIZE FITS ALL' STYLE OF TEACHING.
Everyone is different, therefore, everyone needs a different approach. Working in this way will bring out the best in students and make them into confident voices. Our coaches have tried and trusted methods that will stay with you long after you have flown the Richcraft nest!
Mentoring sessions
Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned pro, you can book either a 30- or 60-minute session to delve into exactly what you want to learn or improve upon. Get ready for an immersive experience where we cover it all: equipment selection, setup, mastering your gear, microphone techniques, editing prowess, rates, how-to-find work, and everything else you crave to know!
Although 1-2-1 voiceover coaching covers many of the topics above, the priority is voiceover technique and delivery. Mentoring sessions are an opportunity to get advice and support in more detail on the areas of VO that can hold you back.
Ready to paint a vivid ‘aural’ (and oral) picture of success in the voiceover realm? Let’s elevate your skills and bring your voiceover game to new heights!
Reel Review Service
Your showreel is a representation of what you can do as a voice over. You should also be able to replicate all the reads on that reel. It should showcase you at your best as well as show off your range. A showreel also tells clients that you can voice any job as well as the demos on your reel.
YourIf you feel your reel isn’t getting you the work you want, we offer a showreel feedback service. We will give detailed feedback on your showreel and make recommendations on how to improve it. If you would like to make any changes to your reel with RichCraft this can be arranged. The price is subject to the amount of work/reels necessary.
Video Reel Services
Getting your reel done is the culmination of a lot of hard work, so why not make it even better? A bespoke video to accompany and accent your voiceover reel adds another layer of polish, helping you stand out from the crowd! In these days of Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, people are engaging with video content more and more, so it’s why not add it to your marketing arsenal?
Firstly, one of our production team will have a short consultation call with you (approximately 30 minutes long) where we can explain the process, listen to your reel and discuss what you want your video to look like. This way we can incorporate your own branding into the video, making it truly represent you.
Next, we will put together a video draft for you to view and decide if you like the vibe or wish to make any changes. Then, we’ll whip it into shape and soon you’ll have a brand spanking new promotional video!

Director Services
Do you ever dread a client or director dialling in to direct you while you voice a job? A lot of voice over actors are used to self directing and completing jobs in their own time. Being adaptable and responsive to a director will not only give you a great reputation as a voice over that can deliver, but will also broaden the amount of jobs that you can do.
IMPROVE YOUR CONFIDENCE WORKING WITH DIRECTORS AND PRODUCERS
If you want to improve on your listening skills, your versatility and your ability to follow direction and change where necessary when being directed we can help! We will dial in using CleanFeed and direct you while you voice a script/s that you have not had much time to prepare . You also get the opportunity to work with more than one director at a time, which often happens in the real world, and can be overwhelming and stressful. We help you deal with anything that gets ‘thrown’ at you, director wise! This type of coaching will improve your ability to interpret copy, breath control, adaptability, timing and vocal adaptiveness.
