Voice Over Body Shop, or VOBS, is one of the voiceover industry’s most loved “how to do voice over” shows and the go-to VO resource for voice actors everywhere. From their Los Angeles studio, hosts George Whittam and Dan Lenard talk voice over tech, training, recording, and business. Learn from the best voiceover narrators; voice actors from your favorite cartoons, animation, and television shows; and the biggest names in promo, TV shows, movies, audiobooks, movie trailers, TV commercials, and video games.

George and Dan also ask for tips from the top agents, managers, and voice casting directors working in the VO industry today. And since voiceover is now done largely from home studios, we ask the best in the biz how they do it from their own home studios.

Not only that, but we invite you to ask questions that George and Dan AND their guests answer live! So you can get the answers you need on vo tech, equipment, microphones, DAWs, cables—you name it!

The guys will also help you find the best voice over coaches to help you make the most of your VO career at any level. Get tips from the best voiceover teachers in the industry that you can apply to your VO work today!
