Gravy for the Brain is hands down the best resource any voice actor could ask for. The training is top tier, practical, engaging and genuinely relevant to the industry. The community is second to none. Whether you’re just starting out or already established, their webinars, mentoring and support give you everything you need to grow and stay sharp. I’ve been in the business for years and still find myself learning something new every week. If you’re serious about voiceover, this is the place to be.

Absolutely the best move you could make if you want to become a VO talent. There is so much to learn that it can seem very overwhelming at first and you don't know where to start, but the structure and lessons in Gravy for the Brain make it easier.

Stellar learning platform and supportive staff and community!

From the beginning every requirement for help and support was met, and in some cases exceeded. I had a minor issue registering to begin with, and the onine support team were in touch as soon as I emailed in to explain the problem which was solved immediately. The courses are higly informative and the content delivered at the speed and in the style that I find easy to absorb and remember, unlike some which are painfully drab or theme park level intense! Highly recommended all round.

A genuine review from a genuine Noob. I cautiously signed up for the UK content, not really knowing what to expect. 2 months later and I have learned so much already. I'm not quite confident enough for my first foray into auditioning but I have a much clearer idea of where to head and how to get there. I haven't even engaged with the mentoring programme yet and already feel I'm getting my money's worth. Invaluable advice to anyone thinking of entering the industry or even just wanting to know more about it.

Unmissable and essential for anyone looking to get into, or develop, a career in voiceover. Brilliantly thought through, detailed yet accessible voiceover and business training in many formats, blogs, webinars, courses, mentoring, and forums - simply the best money you'll spend on your voiceover venture! Oh, and they are really lovely and approachable too!

Calley Bliss

This is not only "one-stop-info-shopping" for VO's looking to learn and network, but the quality of content, instruction, and the way it's laid out on the site is really in line with what it should be for the learning process. Some companies know how to market and sell, but fall short on delivering actual value. This is not that company. Thank-you Gravy For The Brain for focusing on the quality and helping us all become better independent VO's!

As someone who struggles with social anxiety I really wrestled with the concept of working as a voice-over, but after attending some online social events I slowly found myself coming out of my shell a bit more. All the other members were very nice and patient with me and even encouraged me to try and speak more. The service and the resources available are all top tier!

The absolute world leaders in what they do! Whether you are a complete beginner or an old pro, GFTB is a platform that can help you in so many way. For beginners they offer the perfect way in so that you can learn everything necessary to enter the voice acting business and for those already working it helps you to sharpen your skills, keep up to date with new techniques, has great tools for helping you to run your business and is an incredible resource for networking. There’s regular webinars that cover a variety of topics to keep you in line with the ever changing trends of voice acting and their courses are amazing. The courses on offer cover all of the key areas you need from building your studio, learning to edit your own recordings, how to improve as a performer, how to brand yourself and run your own business, I could go on as there’s so much more! The people who run it genuinely care about you and want to help you succeed. There’s an incredible mentoring forum where you get expert advice in every aspect of your VO journey and that is a truly game changing element of the service which really sets GFTB sort from the competition. Rarely are services worth the money the way that GFTB is! Gravy For the Brain is helping me to change my life for the better and it could do the same for you!

GFTB is the best! Bev and Graham rock! It's an amazing value for the money, the resources are practically unlimited, and I can go at my own pace. The instructors are phenomenal and they are great at relationship-building with students - I've learned so much and look forward to learning more.

Dave Hull

25th May 2023

I recently signed up for GFTB after looking extensively at other sites and asking people in the business for advice. I am very happy I joined. The courses are well done, the discussion forum is fantastic and there are endless tools that are included which will help me establish and run my VO business. I don't think there is better value out there compared to GravyForTheBrain.

Absolutely fantastic voiceover community and resource!! I don't know where I'd be without GFTB. Probably still spluttering into my phone with my head under a duvet. Thanks Hugh and Peter!!

Trish Sarson

Member since 2019 This was the single best decision I have made since I decided to try out voice over work. My earlier training was spotty and incomplete and didnt take into account my accent. Here I found out what I didnt know, what I needed to improve, and how to do it. Each mentor contributes to your education in different ways. Monthly mentoring sessions give instant feedback on auditions and general information, there's a forum to get honest feedback on auditions and demos. I am still learning, but I have been giving consistently decent auditions and felt.competent to do work in the general market for some time now.

Kristina Fleming

If you are 1-30 years into voice acting, join this site now. Don't argue with yourself. Skip 3 of the 40 meals you eat out in a month, and submerge yourself in the healing hot springs of information they have available to grow your business and improve your craft. Absolutely 12/10 recommend.

This has been a wonderful resource for me just starting out, there is so much info, mentoring and guidance. I feel like I a mom not doing this alone!

Cindy Flynn

When I first started in Voiceover I was all over the internet soaking up advice but there was alot of conflicting information. I found GFTB and decided to focus my money on their website and have been immensely satisfied! They really have it all for a reasonable monthly fee. Their mentors get back to you so quickly and have been invaluable as I navigate this world of VO.

Derrick Magolski

Their great service is not just local. International content service and delivery, which is helping beginners through to established professionals further develop the ideal craft and skillset to a growing industry. Some of the best money I have spent to be involved in any training group. Their experience is invaluable. And their enthusiasm is infectious.

Fantastic service! They're online system is top-notch, with lots of great training and direct interaction through their forums. It's where I'm starting my voiceover journey, and I can already tell it's worth every penny (and not a very large number of pennies, either).

Nate Fultz

Amazing value for the money! I couldn't thank Hugh and Peter enough for the training and resources.

GFTB membership benefits are just brilliant. It is such a great concept/business/forum/resource. The structure and support that its facilities provide are really helpful, as are all the mentors.

Ozzy Chetin

Simply the best place for online voice over training. The amount of educational content you get for the fee you pay is truly incredible. The mentors on their forum are also very helpful.There are so many positive things about GFTB and almost no negatives. Do not even hesitate to sign up if you take VO business seriously.

Olivier Tsinos

Excellent online training materials. Hours of content. Active community. Weekly and monthly live mentoring sessions and webinars. Really great resources to find auditions too. Worth the monthly fee in my opinion.

Darin Miller

Excellent training and staff. So much information and support. Worth every bit that I spend. I've learned more from GFTB in the last three months than I have trying to figure it out on my own. Thank you Hugh, Peter and J. Michael for everything you do.

What a fabulous experience using Gravy For The Brain is. It really is the, 'one stop shop', for anything voice over. The lessons are many, but concise and easy to understand, then there are the webinars, the forums and the mentoring. These guys must be extremely but not one of them has failed to get back to me with an answer to a question. This programme really offers fantastic value for money and there is so much to learn here from the best guys in the business. Thoroughly recommend :)

Paul Stevenson

20th November 2020

I'm super happy I decided to start using GFTB on a more regular basis. The amount of resources available is amazing! Most importantly though, you really get the feeling that the GFTB Team is in your corner and dedicated to your success as a professional VO! Cheers!

Raina Beutel

19th November 2020

There is a wealth of resources for you to take advantage of, at any point in the VO process! This team will give you advice, work with your audio, even help produce a professional demo! The webinars are always accessible and range from technical, to performance, to industry trends to be aware of! If you're feeling like this is a waste of money - you're not using the site to its fullest potential. And as far as the costs of making investments in the VO world - this is next to nothing. INVEST IN YOURSELF!

Ryan Byrom

For too long I have searched for a service like this, and finally I have found it. For those unaware and uninitiated few the act of pouring gravy into your brain is an age old healing tradition used in select parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is relatively painless but an extremely strange feeling as the warm gloop cascades into your ear holes. I already feel 10 years younger! It's 5 sausages from me!

Jodi Swenson

8th November 2020

I cannot recommend them enough! The option for affordable monthly payment is so appreciated. The value that you get for that price is unbelievable. They offer so much - mentoring, forums for questions and help with anything, invaluable webinars, excellent courses, and so much more. I have no regrets about any of the services that they provide. They also have a wonderful sense of humor and don't sugar coat the information. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Gravy For The Brain offers exceptional on-line educational and mentoring resources for anyone wishing to pursue a voiceover career. I've found their courses, webinars, and blogs to be informative and insightful. The mentoring forums are invaluable. Pursuing a voiceover career is at times a challenging and solitary endeavor. For me, Gravy For The Brain is a powerful ally and an incredible value.

Timothy Anderson

While setting up my Voiceover business, Fuhs Studio, I find the education at Gravy For The Brain exceptional, and an unbelievable value. Daily, I make modifications to my business strategy, and voiceover technique using insights that I learned from the classes, and online mentoring. Thanks GFTB!

Wilson Apolo

Your all in one resource covering everything you've ever wanted to know about the art of voice over. Webinars, online forums, live online mentoring sessions, one on one coaching; whatever you happen to be looking for they have it. All for a very reasonable monthly fee. I've only been a member for a couple of months, and I've already learned so much in that time. Go on and give it a try; you'll be glad you did!

Lori Madsen

Fantastic resource, incredible program and more than a great value! I've studied under 3 other programs and have even taken workshops in LA and none compare to Gravy for the Brain.

James D. Kirk

Online learning at its best. Mammoth value for a paltry sum. If you've decided voiceover is a career direction, do yourself the favor of checking out GftB and all they have to offer. Even if you're already in the industry, the community surrounding this business will elevate your opportunities. Most highly recommended! Cheers.

GFTB is FABULOUS! Great for Actors adding to their tool belt! During lockdown it has taught me to do the job of so many people, EDITOR, DIRECTOR (of my own work), STUDIO ENGINEER etc...

Gravy For The Brain is completely unique it enables you to learn at your own pace and guides you with a personal career plan that keeps you focused throughout your learning journey. It has ongoing mentoring and real feedback which is so important. The tools and instructional webinars really do give you a 360 education when starting out in the Voice over industry plus it provides an ongoing support system to further your knowledge and expertise once your business is up and running.

Bruce Fielding

29th July 2020

GFTB is more than a resource, it's a community of people helping each other to be the best they can be. The courses and mentoring are very well constructed and incredibly helpful and comprehensive. The value for money is brilliant. I would strongly recommend that anyone who has been told that they have a 'nice voice' spend time on GFTB before they take the plunge and make it a career.

Stewart Magrath

A good voice is about 10% of what you need to be a voice actor. Gravy for the Brain provide subscription based online training and services to address the other 90%. The courses are in-depth, well paced and cover everything you need to know from the basics to how to run the business side. Online mentoring provides feedback on members' work from industry professionals as well as advice in all the key areas of the profession. It's not cheap, but then good quality advice and training from friendly, experienced professionals isn't. What it is, is great value for money for anyone considering a career as a voice actor.

Melodie Renais

17th July 2020

I consider my training on Gravy For The Brain as my DIY MBA! I have learned so much from fabulous webinars, blog posts, and mentoring. This is an amazing resource with incredible value for voice actors and voice artists, whether a newbie or seasoned professional.

Tracey Binnie

8th July 2020

Gravy For the Brain is a must for anyone wishing to start out in the VO world, although there is plenty of content for the more experienced. Peter and Hugh are very hands on and the sheer wealth of training material, social events, webinars and other resources can't be found elsewhere.

The staff at GFTB are on point in every conceivable way. They respond quickly to questions and give honest feedback. Training is second to none. Hugh and the crew have outdone themselves with this one!

Ann Rowe

5th June 2020

Gravy for the Brain is the best site going for your voice over needs. I had been searching for this kind of help, and service in the voice over branch, for about 4 years but found it difficult to find most of the information in one place. They give amazing value in training and advise, lots of precise information that is current and useful, and they are really helpful. I am really happy to have found GFTB!!!
