The FEATURED class for November 2024 - 3-week commercial class

"Describe working with Paul Liberti?  No easy task.   So let me use the first words that come to mind:  transformative, exhilarating, enlightening, revelatory, intense, educational, joyous, breathtaking.  

Superlatives that honestly apply.

Paul brings a mix of brilliant teaching, tools, tips ... and therapy ... designed to open one's heart and soul and bring your 'authentic' self to this work. "

"He is the most perceptive, astute, empathetic teacher I've ever seen, who gently, carefully works with his students ... finding and bringing forth a true 'voice', a humanity and skill not immediately apparent.  While brilliantly teaching VO skills, he teaches acting... essential to voiceover work."

"Paul's class was the first VO class I took, which helped launch my career as a voice actor which has been going strong for 7 years now.  I've taken several of Paul's Commercial VO and Character Animation classes over the years, and he directed my first demo, 

which led me to sign with my first agents and book some of my best clients including ...

David's Bridal, Kohl's, Bombas, Canva and many others. " 

"Paul's greatest strength as both a teacher and voice director is that he brings out the 'acting' of 'voice acting' by connecting the actor to the heart, helping them bring the copy to life in a real and connected way.  He's also great at helping find the musicality in a script to vary your reads.  I've used many of his tricks for accessing the comedy of a script, like his 'Rule of 3' and the 'wry and dry' read.  Paul is one of the first teachers I recommend to those looking to get started in VO, and I would jump at the opportunity to get to work with him on a project in the booth!" -

"I have been coached 

by Paul for over 30 years. 

Paul is hands down one of the best voice over coaches in the industry. His classes are incredible. He manages to make hard work fun and give everyone the individual attention and direction they need." 

"My favorite is the animation class. I love the way Paul teaches. It’s a master class in character development as well as acting. His unique teaching style shows you how to make your characters come to life all the while giving you the necessary tools for success. 

Working with Paul creating my vo demo was a blast. There is no one like him in the industry! I have recommended Paul over and over throughout the years to fellow actors wanting to learn about voice over. 

Paul is a Master at what he teaches and I am so grateful to have had his coaching and mentoring all these years. Thank you Paul for everything. You changed my life for the better."

Covid lockdown 2020, experiencing dread, loss and first time recording from my closet, I found Paul Liberti. As a seasoned voice talent, I was anxious about taking a vo class, but I wanted community and to stay current during isolation.     

 I got so much more than I bargained for with Paul’s classes. He is an inspired, entertaining teacher, understands craft, life and communication. He knows specific trends in advertising and understands both theatrics and comedy for Animation work. He is kind, cares deeply and your abilities will soar. A touchstone for so many in the entertainment community, I’d be ecstatic to discover Paul Liberti directing my next series!

"Paul is amazing, he helps you tap into yourself,

and what you love. You learn how to break down

copy and make it your own.

 Paul's style of coaching has made a difference on how I approach

copy, a script whether it's theatre, film, tv or voiceover work.

What stands out most of all in his teaching style and classes?

Head, Heart, Body. Connecting to oneself.  Who is this copy about?

Who does it remind you of? If you can find the answers to his question,

your connecting.

Of 1-5 stars- what would I rate Paul Liberti's clases?

10!! - I mean 5 "

"Paul is the perfect entry point into the field of Voice Over. He gives you the tools & techniques to empower your acting skills all while giving it in a fun & accessible environment. From Commercial to Narration & Animation to Video Games: He covers it all! 

Paul is the ideal teacher to learn the craft, find the fun, & grow as a Voice Over artist. A true gem in this industry."

"As a voice over coach, director, teacher, mentor and all-around human being Paul Liberti is definitely FIVE STARS+

Where do I begin to say what Paul Liberti has meant to my career – and to my life?

I first met him in an introductory VO class that I treated myself to for my birthday – the year of the shutdown. Hooked, I used the next 2 years to take his classes at AC, and learn and hone skills as a voice over artist and narrator. I studied with him in Promo technique, Character Animation, Accents I & II, Commercials, Video Games and Audiobook narration.

Paul is not only an extraordinarily talented artist in his own right, he is an inspirational, kind, and amazing teacher and mentor. He is able to teach the VO artist vocal technique, placement, character development, how to keep it natural, and how to discover the text in the moment... Paul also guides students in all aspects of the business, the formats, what the industry currently looks for and how it works. Each student is treated kindly and with respect. We are given personal attention, guidance, honest feedback and insights into our own unique gifts.

I have a VO reference library full of the accompanying printable PDF books that Paul has written and sends out before each of the courses he offers. These are golden! And my booth is decorated with his quotes to help me remember that “it’s music” and “I love this” and “It’s so simple.”

To be directed by Paul Liberti for a VO audition or job is like having a master class all to yourself.

And I’ve been booking work!

Weather you are just starting out in the business, or a seasoned VO artist, you’ll never stop learning with Paul. And you’ll have a whole lot of fun along the way.

If possible, don’t miss any opportunity to work with this man!"

"I have studied with Paul for over five years.  In that time I can confidently say that he has made me a better actor.  I can't pick a favorite class -- although the class I am currently involved in is ALWAYS my favorite -- because he teaches with such love and passion and insight that I always walk away with more tools than I expect to.  He teaches to each person and their experience and ability.  And I always learn as much from what he teaches to others as what he teaches to me.  Working with Paul is like existing in a fantastic world of acceptance and joy - and that is the aura he creates each and every time." 

"As a student you walk away with handbooks, concrete exercises and tips for always working at your best.  It's like being at summer camp - the feeling of camaraderie he creates adds to the support of your fellow actors.   I have takens his classes in voice over at two different levels, audiobook narration, video games and animated character voices, and my favorite: accents.  If there is anything I can say with certainty, it is that you will walk away from his classes with more than double the value you paid for.  And that value will show in your heart as well as your career.

"In a city full of many teachers, Paul Liberti is the one who gets it right. His classes are not only imbued with a wealth of technical tips and insider knowledge, but with pure love for the medium of VO: the “secret sauce” of this industry that can never be manufactured. He speaks about voiceover and animation with a reverence and understanding that inspires greatness in the actors who approach it: a rare and invaluable asset in a growing market so often obsessed with getting in on “the next big thing”. In a Paul Liberti class, it is never about “making money”, even though you will likely do so in spades, and never just about “booking more work” — as you’ll do that, too — but about how to honor the text, fully embody the character, and broaden and stretch one’s capabilities as a true artist. The result is work that brings one closer to the mastery of seasoned industry professionals, offering performances anchored in full understanding of the medium and strongly rooted in realism. Paul Liberti is truly a gift to the artistic community, and his classes are truly one-of-a-kind: placing a universal emphasis on individual expression, business advice, and technique in the digital age."

"Paul not only coaches with fine-tuned knowledge, but with a wealth of kindness and empathy: a prevailing love for actors and for teaching that is shockingly difficult to find in today’s market. As a student, your money and your time will never be misplaced, your eagerness never dismissed: rather, your skills and passions will be cultivated, your individual assets honed into skills, and your insecurities carefully redirected. It is an honor to experience a Paul Liberti course, no matter your level of expertise. You will be educated, and will be inspired, you will be challenged — and you will be so much better for it."

"Paul Liberti helps you find your innermost self in your acting. He knows and will teach you the techniques to discover yourself in the character. He will help you embody the role from your deepest self through your voice, body, and even spirit. He will also help you learn about yourself through the work, through the rule of three, and through the many and varied lessons he will impart to you. I’m a better actor from my studies with Paul, and I recommend his teaching and directing to every actor I know."

"Paul is an absolute gem of a human and teacher. He has a beautiful way of making you believe in yourself, and believe in the copy. I feel so lucky to have met him and learn so many genres from him, (commercial, audiobooks, animation, video games, and even puppetry!) as well as being directed by him for my demo. He really lays a foundation down for you to pull from so you can create a technique that works for your own process. I’ve said it before—Paul is a light in this world."

"Paul - I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for doing what you do. You're a wonderful teacher, and I admire your kindness, positivity, skill, and joy greatly. Delighted to be working with you.  From our previous conversations and classes, I realized I still have lots to learn and techniques to hone but It's become so clear to me after class last night that THIS (vo) is what I want to do with my life. This can be a career and a business for real for me - I'm starting to actually understand what I bring to a room, and that's largely thanks to your coaching. I want to do commercial work as my main income for my career and then do as much character work as I can because I find it so fulfilling. "

"Paul Liberti is a fount of voice acting information, both practical and theoretical. Warm and generous and inspirational, Paul helped me launch my audiobook narration career not just by teaching skills and helping me make demos, but, most crucially, by making it clear that he believed in me and my abilities. His classes are super fun and full of usable nuggets that I use every time I turn on my mic. I particularly loved his accents class, in which he demonstrated his mind-boggling mastery of global accents, and even charted each accent’s “lilt” on a musical staff. Paul is a lovely person and a fantastic teacher and coach.

Paul Liberti is a transformational teacher and coach!

Taking Paul’s Voice Over Acting classes not only led me to book several nice voiceover jobs, but I thoroughly believe it improved my in-person acting and auditions as well! With a very encouraging and supportive style he guides his students to lean into what makes them unique, to feel the feelings we all feel and stay honest with our characters. I highly recommend!

“Paul Liberti is a delight to work with. His creativity, his compassion and empathy, his expertise, and his understanding of the individual needs of each of his students makes for an unforgettable learning experience. I have taken 4 separate classes with Paul: "Audiobook Narration", "Commercial Voiceover", "Promos", and "Working with Accents". Each one has been a unique and rewarding experience. Paul always goes above and beyond with everything he does. Not only is he my coach, but he has also worked with me on my audiobook demos, and my website. It is due to him that I have set out on the right road for audiobook narration. Run, don't walk, to sign up for a class with Mr. Liberti.”

Paul Liberti’s Voice Over classes are truly fantastic!  He is so open to sharing his expertise and is absolutely motivating in the process of doing so.  As a singer, actress and absolute LOVER of copy…I respected how Paul was able to approach every angle and consideration of the Art of Voiceover acting. I left his weeks-long workshops feeling ‘armed’ to take on copy like a pro- but also not disillusioned that this is a practice, indeed! His class format is FULL of valuable, well-organized information; it allows for performance and critiques; and it allows you to learn from other students’ performances as well. I cannot recommend Paul Liberti enough…he is the real deal.

"Working with Paul is HANDS DOWN the best thing you could do for your voiceover career. It’s rare to find a teacher who is truly knowledgeable in teaching ALL genres like Paul. Working with him gave me a solid process that I can rely on. Aside from his vast abilities in everything VO, he is deeply kind and supportive. He genuinely cares about the artist’s well being and this is beautifully reflected in every conversation I have with him. I feel honored to know him. I tell everyone — those new to VO or working professionals who want to level up their game — to go to Paul. He is an absolute gem and you will be hooked! "-

"I am fortunate to call Paul a friend and mentor.  He conducts every single class and directed session with compassion, patience and guidance that helps you find your innermost self within the text. His techniques of finding the head, heart, body and the moments within each script is essential for every actor, be it beginner or seasoned professional. Paul is an exceptional coach, mentor, director, friend and overall an amazing human being. "
