Review content:
With any acting school or voice over school, the facts are going to be in their favor. Not many people become professional actors and if they do, it usually takes years.
The teachings and advice at Del Mar are standard and you can save yourself some money by finding the same exact information in any voice over book.
The reason for the single star, is that there was a good level of competition in my class. But, if the people in your class do poorly, then that won't happen.
Del Mar does not do a good job of developing your ""home"" vocal skills....instead, they decide to focus on dialects. If you can't act in your normal voice, how the hell can you do it with an accent?
I doubt they could survive in LA. The teachings are not very complete, they don't know much about the present VO scene(including the major players of the game) and their students make terrible demo tapes. Search a big voice over talent site, such as ""voice123"". Then type in ""Del Mar"" under the search tab. Many people will be available.....but all their demos are bad. And you can tell Del Mar did most of them....same audio tracks in the background.
Also their bull sh** about getting you noticed by agents...that does happen. But only after you've taken more classes. Hope you have $3,000-$5,000 laying around. You'll meet an agent during the first class, she'll tell you that you're talented, but that's about it.
This is my personal advice for anyone who wants to break into VO:
1, Do your research. Web and library. On both the industry and vocal exercises.
2. Practice everyday
3. Take GOOD workshops/classes
From there, make a demo and go at it! But please don't include Del Mar in your succes.
