I found Reed's workshop after a lot of research into classes and studios that fit my tempo: someone who isn't professionally in the acting or voice over industry, but wants to explore the creativity of voice and character work. Reed hit the mark. He's very experienced and knowledgeable and readily imparts that knowledge. He has a great ear for what a student's strengths and interests are, and adapts the workshop material to bring out those strengths. And he's very patient and approachable -- perfect for a beginner who needs a safe place to start. read more

I've now taken a couple of different VO classes in LA, and I have to say, I absolutely loved Reed's! His studio is professional and inviting, both of which are true of Reed himself, as well. I definitely found myself growing each week in class, and his notes are encouraging, helpful, and supportive. We worked through several different genres of copy, and I found each of them extremely educational. As a teacher, Reed also fostered an incredibly friendly group, and I've come out of his class considering every other member of the class a friend. I can't recommend this class enough! read more

I just finished taking Reed Rudy's six week voiceover class. Reed is a FANTASTIC INSTRUCTOR! He knows how to communicate with both actors and non actors alike, his directions are clear and actionable, his material is current, and he is tremendously well versed in all aspects of voiceover: from performance to business. The studio itself is impressively equipped with all of the accoutrements necessary for a clear sound. Reed and his classes strike the perfect balance of providing a safe space to take chances while still remaining a down-to-earth, well seasoned professional. If you are genuinely committed to improving in and understanding the world of voiceover, you WILL see results thanks to Reed Rudy. read more

I learned so much about voiceover from Rudy. His studio was comfortable, clean and spacious. The voiceover booth was top of the line. Rudy was very creative and entertaining as an instructor. I always looked forward to Tuesday night with Rudy read more

There are so many voiceover class options to pick from in Los Angeles. I've researched many, and completed a number of them. My experience with Reed was unique in that it's an in-person, professional VO studio experience with an instructional style that encourages but also allows for steady growth. I loved how much personal attention each person gets despite being in a classroom setting. Hint: He keeps the class sizes small! There is such a camaraderie created; we were all really rooting for one another to succeed week to week. I'll definitely be back. read more

Out of all the classes I have taken through the years..scene study, improv, casting workshops etc. Reed is by far the most attentive, detailed and caring coach I've experienced. He's not there for the buck $ but for genuine guidance for your v.o. endeavor. Look no further...book now! Thanks Reed! read more

It is a MUST to leave not a 5 star review but a 10 star review i have just recently completed a VO workshop and it was absolutely amazing the quality of the teaching and coaching was superb Reed is a guy that knows the business and takes respect and pride in his teaching and work I walked in not knowing much but left class better educated and motivated to move forward I DEFINITELY recommend Reed's class and will be attending more classes and workshops in the near future shoutout to Mr Reed Rudy thanks read more

I had a really great experience working with Reed! His direction is clear and his class was extremely helpful. We worked through a lot of copy, and gained so much insight into approaching different styles and genres. read more

Worth it! Worth it! Worth it! If your serious about voice over or your just simply curious, Reed is the best in town. He's extremely passionate and very well-educated in the industry. He provides thoughtful and intriguing feed back both inside and outside of the booth. More importantly, coming to class is actually exciting because you get a chance to have thoughtful discussions about the industry with others in the class. I've taken quite a few classes in LA and many of them are overpriced and don't seem like there really helping you succeed. Thus, if your looking for VO instruction more in your price range but want top of line service, Reeds your guy. He"ll even work out payment plans for you. So if your looking to get into voice over I'd sign up for Reeds class ASAP. read more

I recently took Reed's 2018 winter workshop and it was awesome! Over the course of 6 weeks we explored various copies (commercial/partner reads/animation/video games/narration) and each had ample time to work in the booth. Even though my focus is on animation/video games, the knowledge and tips Reed provides for the other aspects of the industry are invaluable. When he works with you in the booth his feedback is easy to digest and understand and if it isn't, he's more than willing to work with you to help you get to the place you need to be in order to deliver strong reads. I highly recommend this class to anyone curious about VO and not sure where to start. Reed covers the entire spectrum and lays down the foundation for you to find your niche in this business. Upon completion of the workshop you will get a copy of all your recordings and he even offers workshops once a month to former students who want to brush up on certain aspects of their craft/work on a specific type of copy. Reed is fantastic so do yourself a favor and take this class! read more

Reed is amazing in every sense of the word. He really helps you understand not just the techniques of Voice Over, but also the business and how to conduct yourself. I would definitely recommend taking his courses, as they are super helpful. 100% would recommend Reed every time. read more

Reed is really a fantastic teacher & coach, making anyone feel at ease and able to do the best possible Voice Over they can do. Reed knows his stuff and can help you find new avenues you might not be thinking of while reading copy. He is positive and excited to help. Reed's studio is also top notch! Your recording sound crystal clear and professional. I was very happy with my recordings, as was everyone else in the class I took with Reed. Defiantly one of the best VO classes out there. read more

I was a student in Reed's intro VO class a couple of years ago and I continue to go to his monthly audition classes as often as I can. I drive in from Orange County. His place is not too far to drive in comparison to others in greater LA. I feel creative when I'm there, and love meeting the other VO talents. His studio is comfortable and creative and has a great vibe. Reed is a great director of talent, encouraging, very helpful, and insightful...plus it's interesting to see what "copy" he has chosen for me to read in the booth. I appreciate Reed very much. :-) read more

Reed is as good as it gets. His demos are top tier and his classes are insightful and productive. His rates are also reasonable. He is not trying to get rich off of struggling actors. Very highly recommend. read more

The best thing about Reed is that he really cares about your success. I think that has to be the first and the most important aspect of any teacher. I've taken Reed's 6-week course, worked with him to produce my demo, and I regularly attend his monthly workout group. Using his experience, Reed carefully guides and motivates you to perform your best in the booth. He is real with you and tells you what you need to hear, if that's what's needed. He is a genuinely good teacher that you can rely on. I know there are a lot of teachers, classes, and organizations. Trust me on this one - Reed is someone you need to know if you are to dive into this industry. Tell him I sent you. read more

Whether you are a complete beginner exploring the world of voiceover acting, or an accomplished actor wishing to add to your toolbox, you need not look any further than Reed's comprehensive workshop. Reed is the consummate professional who, despite his own successful career, remains humble, attentive and sincerely energized by potential new talent. Reed is committed to providing each student with plenty of time in the booth including candid, personalized input delivered in a constructive, positive manner. His warm, down-to-earth personality is the perfect catalyst to spontaneous discussion. Reed is generous with his time and knowledge and offers additional voiceover services going forward. He is accessible and engaged in helping you reach your goals. And, he is a genuinely nice guy! read more

Reed's VO class was instructive, encouraging and extremely helpful. The course covers all aspects of voiceover work from narration to animation and video games, and everything in between. Although courses are being held online currently due to the pandemic, it doesn't impact the amount of knowledge and wisdom Reed can give to any voice actor, whether it be someone brand new or experienced. I can confidently say that his class is truly one of a kind, and Reed is a fantastic VO coach for anybody looking to hone their skills or learn more about voice acting. I will most certainly be looking for opportunities in working with him for the future! read more

Reed's six-week VO workshop exceeded my expectations. I went in knowing very little about voiceover, and I left the class feeling energized and equipped with the tools needed to pursue a career in voiceover. Reed pays careful attention to each student, and he clearly understands the vocal strengths and weaknesses of each person. He's able to deliver honest, constructive feedback, while being incredibly encouraging at the same time. Whether you're new to voiceover or looking to sharpen your skills, I can't recommend Reed's workshop enough. read more

I was very lucky to find Reed when I did. I needed coaching and a VO Demo reel and he was the man! His coaching was very down to earth and easy to understand, but also very effective in bringing out the best in me and my voice. I love my Demo, and it's getting great response from the industry. It was my first Demo, so I was a little nervous about it, but he took control and guided me all the way. I would recommend him to anybody looking for help in the VO market. read more

I just finished Reed Rudy's Voiceover Class and probably the best recommendation I can give is that I'm looking forward to learning more in his ongoing monthly sessions. The classes -- online, at the moment -- were lively and interesting, covering a different area of voiceover with each lesson. Reed gives precise and encouraging advice regarding each student's weekly performances, while motivating them to dig for the best voiceover possible. It's a winning formula that benefits from Reed's own years of experience in the business, as watching Reed work with the material is a bonus, in and of itself. read more

Reed is a stellar voice over coach! I've taken his class plus go his monthly meet-ups (a refresher class), which helps to keep me in the game. Reed's classes are small, so it's perfect in which you get that personal attention, and his location is ideal, for me at least. It's nice to have a class that is easy to get to and where parking is not a problem. Reed is very easy going and makes you feel right at home. He's accommodating and takes the time to work with you in the booth. That's so important for any student at any level! read more

Although it was my first ever VO training and I lack a comparison, I honestly feel I learned a lot and had meaningful personal attention each class. Everyone in the class felt the same way. For every class Rudy provides sides for us to work on and then allows us to create our own distinct twist on it. But as soon as he gets to know you, which he genuinely cares to do, he finds sides that work for you. So when we work he is encouraging but also critiques in a mindful way. While in the booth you feel like you're playing and not judged, I loved that! so you can let your own voice shine and not try to sound like anyone else. It was an enjoyable time and he offers monthly workshops so alumni can continue to work on their craft! Also, his studio is gorgeous and a very zen environment! Highly recommend for newbies or those who've been trained because an experienced classmate of mine said he was one of the best he'd worked with so far. :) read more

So glad I stumbled upon Mr. Reed's voiceover class. Truly a special dude with so much passion for his students and steeze both in front of and behind the mic. I just recently finished a course with Reed and would tell anyone and everyone to go to him if you are interested in voiceover. The "homey" environment of his studio made it so comfortable to just let loose and have fun! read more
