Testimonials
“Tanya is quite simply an amazing voiceover coach! I’ve learnt so much from her in such a short time.”
“I had an incredibly useful session with Tanya this week, which has massively helped me to increase my range and improve my technique. It’s funny really, as I’ve been working in broadcasting since I was a child, specialising in voiceover in the last 15 years and there is still so much to learn. Tanya puts loads of preparation into her session with you and tailors them for you. There is no ‘one size fits all’. She’s honest, helpful, practical and fun with it. It doesn’t matter how well established you are in your career, you can never stop learning – and if you’re doing something you love, then chances are you will love having a mentor session with Tanya! Sessions are recorded so you can listen back again after and scripts provided, it was an incredibly useful session”
“There is NO ONE more qualified or capable of enhancing your voiceover career than Tanya, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! If, like I was, you are exploring the idea of being a voiceover as a full time career instead of your ‘normal’ day job, you’ll need an honest opinion of your talent before you decide to jump ship. There are plenty of “yes-men” companies out there who will tell you that you’re great regardless of whether you maybe are or not, but Tanya was recommended to me because she is renowned for giving truthful constructive feedback, which is exactly what I needed! Thankfully.. I was lucky enough to become one of her students, and less than a year later, I am now proud to call “voiceover” my new career. “
“I want to be a VO artist… you need to talk to Tanya’ …. well they weren’t wrong! Tanya is honest but encouraging, fun to work with but so professional – and we got the job done! I am so pleased with my show reel and so excited to get started. But I couldn’t have got this far without Tanya.”
“I asked Tanya Rich to help me to produce a new showreel which would reflect my strapline, “Adding audio gravitas to your media”. I wanted a showcase that would demonstrate a quintessentially British voice; Mature, warm and trusted. Unlike many “so-called” coaches who produce a mediocre piece which neither fits the brief nor does the voice any favours. Tanya will listen and improve your presentation before even thinking about producing a showreel.”
“Tanya – like the best voice coach EVER, also happens to be the most experienced female IVR voice in the UK. And it really isn’t as easy as she makes it sound!! It’s detailed, nuanced and oh so personal – and it totally appeals to the geeky perfectionist in me! On the upside – all that coaching has just landed me a contract with an airline. So thank you Ms Rich for all your love and patience.”
“Tanya taught me everything I know. Well, ok, not everything -my dad taught me to ride a bike, but in VoiceoverLand, she taught me everything. She also told me to forget some of the stuff I’d been taught when I first started in VO work, because it was wrong. She has a big stick to help you remember stuff. It’s a metaphorical stick, but it really works, because she’s awesome. Awesome at voicing and awesome at helping others reach their potential – and you’ll do it with a big S.E.G (Sh*t Eating Grin), because she’s also a hoot to work with. I’m very lucky that she’s become not just a colleague, but a friend. Oh, and she’s also AWESOME.”
“I spent an hour with Tanya. What I learned was more useful and valuable than all the hours of online videos and seminars I had watched. She is an excellent coach, an honest and constructive critic, and a thoroughly nice person. If you’re serious about having a career in voiceover, then you need to use a little bit of RichCraft!”
“I’ve been working with Tanya and her lovely team of coaches for nearly four months now. They’re seasoned professionals who give you detailed guidance and honest feedback. They’re also great fun to work with, so I really enjoy the lessons. I was just listening to a recording of my very first lesson and could hear how much progress I’ve made in such a short time. I really feel I’m on my way to a career in voice over. There are a lot of people out there masquerading as voice coaches. RichCraft Voice Coaching are the real deal.”
“Excellent coaching from a dedicated and committed team. Armed with years of experience across the entire Voice Over world, RichCraft offer first-class knowledge, support and guidance – essential for anyone starting out in the industry (especially in these times!). I know I have gained so much from my coaching with them: the techniques you’ll learn and the toolbox you’ll put together will be of enormous value for your future as a Voice Over actor. Plus you’ll be welcomed with open arms into their community – and make some amazing friends as well!!”
“I have taken a few sessions with RichCraft Voice Coaching and it’s been a real eyeopener in applying techniques and marketing my VoiceOver business. If you haven’t checked out RichCraft Voice coaching as a voice actor, you should keep an eye out for their up coming schedule!”
“Tanya Rich and her team – Bob, Greg, and Alicia are outstanding voice over coaches. They have taken the theatrical actor out of me, and have primed my voice for the Voice Over world. They have taught me that Voice over is a skill that’s not just “talking into a mic”. Their extensive experience and professionalism means I have learnt a great deal more knowledge and I am more confident. Tanya in particular has helped me hugely! She is extremely honest and sharp with her listening to help an individual improve.”
“RichCraft Voice Coaching are one of the leaders in the entire UK, and it’s not hard to understand why. Their incredible expertise, thorough yet highly personable coaching style and overall knowledge, passion, skills and experience within the voiceover industry gives anyone who has the pleasure of working with RichCraft and outstanding learning platform from the very first session. Their team are inspiring and great fun to work with, and I cannot recommend RichCraft highly enough.”
“I was fortunate to attend a voice over direction and coaching workshop hosted by Alicia and she was a true pro. Extremely enthusiastic, motivating and understanding of the fears we face as voice over artists in a directed session environment. I would love to get some more coaching with her and the RichCraft team!”
“Tanya is an amazing coach, kind, human, and straight-to-the-point, able to guide you to improve your skills, as well pull out the best available in you in the moment. She has such a wealth of experience and expertise. Thank you!!!”
“When you are working full time as a VO it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you no longer need any coaching or training. Normally you do not realise there is an issue before it is too late. When I came to Tanya for coaching I knew something was missing from my delivery but just couldn’t put my finger on what it was. Tanya instantly recognised what it was, helped me correct it, plus some other bad habits I had fallen into and, without doubt, made me a better VO. Some of the tips and techniques she taught resulted in me landing two of the largest contracts of my career to date, both in the same week. Whatever stage of your career you may be at Tanya and the Richcraft team will no doubt help you grow further. Plus not only do you gain a massively experienced coach, you make a great friend.”
“I started my vocal coaching journey with Tanya in April 2020 having spent several months researching and googling coaches, the same name kept being recommended…. Tanya Rich. Tanya and her team at Richcraft are extremely knowledgeable, inspirational and are all currently working “VO’s” in the industry.
If you want to learn from the best, then get in touch with the Richcraft team.”
“As a voiceover artist with very little previous acting experience, I knew I would need a good coach. I had attended a couple of group sessions with Tanya, and really loved her style and her way of encouraging students without blowing smoke. It felt like she truly wanted us all to succeed. So, when the time came to find a coach, I knew exactly who to reach out to.
Everything I thought about Tanya was absolutely true. She’s real and tells it like it is, without being mean or condescending. She is incredibly patient and supportive, and really brought me out of my shell. When I listen back to the recordings of our first sessions, I can hear how timid and nervous I was. Tanya supported me all the way through to producing my first commercial demo and beyond.
Being a voiceover artist can be a lonely existence, and it is easy to fall back into old habits and — for me — that old timidity. That is why I really appreciate that RichCraft regularly hosts group sessions with various RichCraft coaches and guest producers. This allows me to keep my skills sharp and dip my toes into genres of voiceover that are new to me. Tanya has gathered a stellar group of coaches and other subject matter experts to help support the RichCraft student community. And that is what we have become — a community that I’m really happy to be a part of.
If you find yourself looking for a good coach, you can’t go wrong with Tanya or any of the coaches at RichCraft! And most of the group sessions are open to new or non-students, so that is a good way to get a taste of what they have to offer. I encourage you to come check them out!”
“Absolutely brilliant coaching! I have massively enjoyed the coaching sessions I have had from Richcraft and rate them so highly. They are just brilliant at what they do and have put me completely at ease throughout the sessions. I can tell with every session how I can improve and get better. They are clear and very good in their communication delivering the lessons. Anyone looking to get into voiceover look no further – here’s your coaching solution.”
“The coaching I received from Richcraft was excellent. I worked with Alicia and Tanya and they both gave me fabulous 121 tuition. They were honest with their feedback and gave me lots of tips and tricks on how to make the copy come alive and to not sound ‘read’. Excellent coaching. Thank you Richcraft 😊.”
“I joined this amazing Commercial Workshop on the 4th July hosted by the incredibly talented Alicia King for Boothchat (a brilliant online friendly VoiceOver group). Alicia was a total pro, expertly guiding the readers through their paces whilst giving inside tips and tricks to get the best read. So many things to take away from this awesome session -. Thank you Alicia!”
“Excellent and professional Voiceover coaching.. I highly recommend Richcraft. Tanya and all coaches in the Richcraft team have a wealth of experience and knowledge and also give great advice!”
