In 2024, I expanded my scope by presenting,  group coaching, and panel discussing at 1 virtual and 2 in-person voice-over conferences.

Get Mic’d Ultimate VO Survivor: Virtually joined Canadian actors on a Casting Panel along with Marc Graue, Susan Hart, and Christine Leslie.

One Voice: Chatted with lots of new and old friends, punked it out for the awards banquet, compared improv experiences and friends with Tim Powers, talked about VO and wine with Meg Hensley and Jay Preston of the VORG, caught up with automotive wiz Cliff Zellman about the musicality of words, and taught a class - The Journey From Your Head to Your Heart.

Mid-Atlantic VO: Taught 3 classes - Get Read for an Adjustment (twice) and What’s Your “Tell”, presented Fill Your Performances With Value, and shared the Casting Panel with Luanne Regis, Everett Oliver, and Celia Siegel. Chatted it up at the bar/restaurant with participants and presenters including Tim Friedlander and Matthew Parham of NAVA, and created Gossip Corner with Joanne Lichtenstein and Jessica Blue.

Academy of Art University: For nearly 15 years, in the Spring and Fall, I stay connected with college students by teaching 15-week voice-over technique, commercial, and character classes.

Skills Hub: How amazing is Jennifer Hale and her team? It’s an honor to teach and coach on this great learning platform. This year, I delved into the intricacies of students’ voice performances in What Are You Missing… In Your Reads? Stay tuned for more classes and coaching.

BRAVA: I’m having a blast teaming with Melissa Thom as the head of VO Characters. Her Bristol, UK voice actors are amazing! It’s fun for me to include a few Americans, so both sides of the pond can experience the varieties of accents together. More virtual and in-person classes starting this month!

Everett Oliver: We’ve worked on several projects together including teaching a class, Breaking the eLearning Code.

VASTA: As a member of the Voice and Speech Trainers Association, Doug Honorof arranged for a panel of Melissa Thom, Cristina Milizia, and me (Elaine Clark) to discuss “The Business and Art of Training Voice Actors” and the evolving role of voice and speech trainers in preparing voice actors.

Mark Neely: What a pleasure reconnecting with a very talented former student and always working actor who inspires a group of VO Superstars. It was a delight to discuss demo production with them along side Dave Walsh.

Who said radio is dead? Anthony Reece has gathered a group of VO actors, coaches, and contributors on VORADIO. It’s always a blast being a guest speaker, panelist, and contributor on this 24/7 radio station.
