Family, I want to give a warm welcome to some of our latest Voiceover Aicademy members; Tiffany, Shay Moore, Tangie Larkin, Kelvin Teamer, Nina, Andy, Ace, LaDonna, Demetrius, Glenda, Isabella, Sissy, Marissa, Norman Lee, Ariel, Norman and A. Marcus! Thank you all for being patient as we’ve been slowly building this community. Next week, we’re kicking things off with our very first introduction, Q&A and Warmups. Look for the calendar invite, Thursday evening at 7 p.m. Eastern on 10/02/25 I hope everybody can make it! I want you all to introduce yourselves, and I want you to know that everything will be recorded so nobody misses out and your sessions will be part of the video lessons. We’re going to learn, we’re going to grind, and we’re going to cover everything in voiceover from commercial to promo to narration. On top of that, we’re going to explore Ai together, how to create the tricky animations I use to sell your voice and maybe even sell your services. You’re here with me for life. This is a family, and we’re going to have a blast. If you have any questions, reach out to me anytime. Let’s get to work. Rick PS. Yes, that’s the Ai version of me 🎉

When you’re stepping into voiceover, don’t overthink the setup. You don’t need the most expensive mic or a studio packed with gear. What you need is practice. And practice is free. Here’s today’s assignment. Create ChatGPT accountant (http://openai.com) and paste in this line: “Write a 30-second commercial for a luxury car that makes the driver feel unstoppable.” That’s it! Let ChatGPT give you the copy, then record yourself reading it out loud on your phone, and play it back. Notice how your voice lands. Did you sound powerful, smooth, connected, or did you sound like you were reading? This is how you get better. We’ll get started this week in a Zoom (Watch the calendar) And to make this easier, I created a personal GPT inside Voiceover Aicademy that’s only for members. You can use it to pull scripts, exercises, and practice material built for voiceover. No guessing. No wasting time. https://chatgpt.com/g/g-wsb1KFWsf-voiceover Now let’s couple that commercial assignment with something visual. This is where prompting for images comes in. Prompting means giving AI a clear description of what you want to see, the same way you gave ChatGPT a clear description for the car commercial. The more detail you give, the closer the AI gets to your vision. For example, the image below was created using this exact prompt: “Create a hyper-realistic portrait of a beautiful dark-skinned Black woman speaking confidently into a Shure SM7B microphone, warm glowing studio lights, blurred background, cinematic 8K photography.” That’s the power of a strong prompt. Words become visuals. So here’s your full challenge for today. Use ChatGPT to write the luxury car commercial, record it in your own voice, then use the prompt above to generate the image. Post your results in the comments, I’d love to see what you create. And before I go, have you noticed the leaderboard in the community? Some of you are creeping up on me. I won’t call names, but I see you. Every time you move up, you unlock a new title. No prize money, No gold medal, But it feels good seeing your name climb. Sometimes bragging rights are enough.

Family, I want to welcome you to our new home for growth, learning, and confidence. This community is built for people who want to find their voice and take control of their career in voiceover while working together with Ai. I know what it feels like to doubt yourself. I grew up with a stutter, dyslexia, and a learning disability. Yet today my voice is heard by more than 250 million people every month on ESPN, BET, Disney, ABC and more. If I can do it, you definitely can! Here in the academy you will find: - Step by step video lessons that guide you in Ai and Voiceover. - Monthly coaching sessions with me and guest pros - The Demo Prep Vault with scripts, reads, and critiques - The Casting Playbook with strategies for landing agents and online auditions - Real World Breakdowns of auditions and campaigns - The Confidence Clinic where we tackle nerves and performance pressure - A Replay Library with every past session This is more than a voiceover course, It is a confidence and ai academy. Show up, do the work, and you will see results. I want you to introduce yourself below. Share your name, where you are from, and why you decided to join. Let’s build this community together.
