In this year of live Voiceover classes you’ll access real-world tools and insights from veteran voice actor Steve Blum, whose career has spanned over 30 years in the industry and includes major characters such as Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop, Starscream from Transformers Prime, Zeb Orrelios from Star Wars Rebels, T.O.M. from Toonami, and Wolverine from the X-Men Animated television series and movies.
“Steve’s online classes are simply awesome. They are extremely informative and helpful in not only VO work but other aspects of the business as well. I really enjoy classes that have exercises for me to perform, as well as Steve’s classes that focus on the marketing aspect of the business such as websites, and self-image. Many people don’t tend to share the importance of that. I’m really glad Steve covers that and more!”
“…the best thing about Steve and the Blumvox team is that they are simply really amazing caring people that GENUINELY want to help people succeed—not just as voice actors, but as humans … just living life with joy. Steve has been one of the best acting mentors I’ve had, not simply because of his 30+ years of knowledge and wisdom as a prolific voice actor, but because of his kind generous spirit to make me (and all his students really) feel like there is room for me in this industry, that I have something unique to offer, and that I am enough.”
“Right off the bat, I gathered valuable information relating to what I didn’t know I needed to know and what I wanted to know.”
Steve Blum holds the Guinness World Record for Most Prolific Voice Actor in Video Games.
Frequently Asked Questions
When are the LIVE Classes (frequency, dates, times)? Is there a replay option if I miss a Class?
Once a month there is a LIVE Class with Steve and a Special Guest, usually held on a Tuesday evening at 6:30pm Pacific Time. Every Live Class is recorded and all members have access to them in the archive, which are available to stream on demand. If there are more student questions after the 2 hour class, Steve records a follow-up video to ensure all questions are answered and that video also gets added to the related class archive pagewhich is available 24/7 to active students. Each month has a new class with new content and a new industry specialist, including award winning Actors, Directors, Casting Agents, Demo Producers, etc. There is over 200 hours of content and it’s growing each month!
What happens in class? What do I actually get to do? Do I get to practice anything?
Steve and special industry guests teach various classes on the practical aspects of Voiceover, including Warm Ups and Cool Downs, Mic Technique, Studio Etiquette, Cold Reading, Efforts & Reactions, Vocal Care, etc. There are practical exercises throughout the first 30 Classes, and our multi-media newsletter, The Voicemonkey Dispatch has exclusive member-only content and “homework” that includes practical things you can do to better your craft. Members also have 24/7 access to over 200 Hours of previous classes and content, plus our private community. It’s a full spectrum series of Classes that cover both the “inner game” mental and emotional aspects of the craft, and the “outer game” practical things you need to know as well.
If you haven’t seen it already we recommend you watch the free VO masterclass to get a better understanding of what and how Steve teaches. You can register for the free VO masterclass at BlumvoxStudios.com/steve-blum-masterclass
Do these classes work for anyone? Even beginners? Is there an age limit to take the classes?
The Classes are for ALL levels of experience. They’re designed to provide tools and information to help you jumpstart and maintain a healthy place in the voiceover industry. They’re available to watch on demand and organized in such a way that you can begin at the start (with the basics of VO) or anywhere along the over 200+ hours of archived content. There is a wide variety of information covered (including how to find your unique voice!), though everyone has their own personal journey both in education and careers.
There is no official age limit for the classes, however we ask that the membership be purchased by an adult parent or guardian and that they be advised that some of the special guest classes within the archive (as well as the monthly live classes) feature explicit language. Beyond that, Steve’s Teaching Series is an “all-levels” class so we would be happy to have you!
What’s included in a membership? Is it just one type of membership subscription or do you have tiers?
There are two membership options available, monthly or yearly, and BOTH get access to ALL our content! Each Blumvox Studios Student Membership includes a monthly LIVE class with Steve Blum and other industry professionals. Members also have 24/7 access to over 200 Hours of previous classes and content, plus our member only multi-media newsletter, The Voicemonkey Dispatch.
If you haven’t seen it yet, we suggest you watch the Free Masterclass so you can get a better feel for what and how Steve teaches. You’ll learn some good stuff and you’ll get access to some Introductory Offers (including 50% off the first month, or a yearly membership for 25% off)! Go to the Free Masterclass at BlumvoxStudios.com/steve-blum-masterclass
When does the subscription renew? Can I cancel my membership anytime?
If you choose a Monthly Subscription it will renew every month on the same day of the month. If you choose to go with a Yearly subscription it will renew the following year on the same day. You can cancel at any time and your access will continue through your paid through date.
Will I get a Demo Reel when I’m done? Are there any job opportunities with these classes?
Steve teaches the ins and outs of becoming a Voice Actor but that does not include actually producing a demo reel for his students. In fact, he and many other Actors will tell you to be VERY wary of courses that offer a demo as part of the course. It is SO important to only do demos when you are absolutely ready, it’s the topic of an entire class (Class #28 with Demo Producer Chuck Duran) because it’s vital to know what to include and what NOT to include. When you know and have that down, and you’re truly ready for a demo – it will be your calling card to the industry. So make sure that you’re ready and that you’re putting your absolute best foot forward. Also check out Steve’s blog from that class! BlumvoxStudios.com/making-a-demo-that-rocks/
We have multiple students who have worked hard and have been paid for voiceover, though like college, most (if not all) institutions can not guarantee a job offer because there’s no way to know the student’s specific ability, skills, competency, or willingness to learn and practice. One thing to remember: the entertainment field has a high percentage of rejection – so you’ll need to audition a lot (and be sure to use audition best practices and techniques, too!). Even the greatest, most accomplished actors continually improve their skill set by taking classes to strengthen and stretch their talents!
I can’t afford expensive studio equipment, can I still do this?
Steve shares in his classes that you don’t need expensive equipment to start. Have you watched his Free masterclass yet? He shares some wonderful tips about this and more. While you’re learning the Art of Voiceover and practicing voices and doing assignments, you can often use a basic recording device (like your phone) to complete them. When you’re ready, you’ll be able to explore the next steps in equipment as appropriate for you and your journey. Check out his Recommendations page for equipment in various price ranges: BlumvoxStudios.com/steves-recommendations , but again, this is not a requirement to get started learning VO!
Do you get a degree? Will the GI Bill over this?
This program is not accredited with any colleges or institutions so the GI Bill will not cover this program. This is not a certificate or diploma course and there are no grades or requirement for performance. You can learn at your pace and when it’s most convenient for you because everything is ultimately available 24/7 in our archives.
Can I still do this if I’m not “young”?
There are many successful voice actors that “started later”, including Steve who didn’t begin working full time in VO until he was 40! Check out this blog about how he got started https://blumvoxstudios.com/steves-personal-story/. He’s a great example of “It’s never too late to start”.
What about those of us that don’t live in the big cities? Can we still get VO work?
It’s easy to feel like you’re in the wrong place when you look at large-budget projects and see many of the same VAs or on-screen Actors, but there are a ton of local jobs in all markets that are always available – and the circumstances of 2020 encouraged and enabled a LOT of virtual productions! You might find the blog with Chuck Duran of Demos that Rock helpful. Chuck gives some great insights into how to position yourself well no matter where you are in the country (or the world!) to get work. BlumvoxStudios.com/making-a-demo-that-rocks”. From Steve: “If you’ve exhausted all the local avenues for work, and are seriously feeling the pull to move, it may be of benefit to relocate to one of the major cities for VO work, like LA, NY or Dallas. But PLEASE don’t do this before you’re ready and/or have a financial backup plan. For many years I worked several other jobs to support my VO habit. It takes time and hard work, so be prepared to do both, no matter where you live!”
How many of your students find professional success? Do you have any Reviews?
Blumvox Studios doesn’t track that sort of thing because “being professional” can mean a variety of things to different people. Every person makes different choices about how they apply the lessons from the classes and how they make VA a part of their lives. Our classes provide tools and information to jump start and maintain a healthy place in the voiceover industry, offering valuable insight from Steve and his special guests. There is a wide variety of information covered that can be very helpful to “becoming a professional”, though Steve and BVS are more interested in our students’ growth, development, and advancement in their personal journeys both in education and careers than in measuring who becomes “successful”.
That said, we do have multiple students who have worked hard and have been paid for voiceover, and are celebrating many successes in the VO world.

Why do I have to pay to learn Voiceover?
If you’ve watched the free introductory masterclass you’ll know that Steve provides multiple insights, but this series of Voiceover Classes goes much deeper into industry learning and practices. Students have access to over 200 Hours of Classes, plus monthly LIVE classes with special industry guests. You can join for as low as $49.50 for your first month and try it out before committing further. Memberships can be canceled at any time and you’ll have access through your paid thru date.
There are plenty of places to learn things about this industry for free. The free info will generally not be compressed into deep, knowledge filled lessons with practices and specific tools, but with enough time investment, you’ll be able to glean some good information. Also, Steve’s free blogs include a lot of great insight and are available to anyone at Blumvoxstudios.com/blumvox-blog
Isn’t Voiceover super competitive?
While there is competition in this field (like any field), there is also a lot of opportunity! Realistically, it’s not likely someone will immediately become the next Frank Welker (who spent years building his career), but everyone starts somewhere and there are many voice acting roles that can require hundreds of voices. The voice industry has many possibilities for those who are interested to explore. Remember, while there are obviously some incredible artists that have large resumes in the industry, they don’t and can’t do it all. We’ve also seen a recent trend in casting directors – who’re actively searching for NEW talent.
Where are you located?
Our Teaching Studio is virtual, so all classes are globally accessible! LIVE classes are available online and our archives are also available 24/7 – so you can learn when the time best works for you. You’ll need an internet connection and a way to watch the classes (laptop, desktop, tablet, mobile, etc.). The LIVE classes are hosted through Zoom, so students need to download that app.
