    I took a celebratory selfie in front of the Voice Actor's Studio sign after concluding my first beginner's class.
    Warren S.

    I had been dancing around the idea of trying voice acting for almost two years, mainly because I have a chronic lack of faith in my own talent. When I finally signed up for The Voice Actor's Studio's four week beginner's course, which ran every Tuesday night from 6:30p to 9:30p, it was more because I knew my work schedule would soon not allow that exploration. I didn't really know what to expect when I started my adventure into voice acting; I just wanted to see if I might have a knack for it. I knew I wanted to find some sort of "fruit" from this adventure. Very immediately upon entering this minuscule bastion for talent, I knew I was being welcomed into a special place. Cold and hot beverages sit waiting just inside the front door for the patrons and friends of the studio, ensuring that no matter what kind of weather you were coming out of, you'd have the right drink to welcome you and prepare your voice for the work ahead. Such provisions summarize the amazing hospitality and humanity represented throughout my Voice Actor's Studio Experience. The space then gives way to a decently sized classroom environment set before a pair of state-of-the-art computer consoles that would be used to record, clean up, and distribute our attempts at mic time to the classes' participants after each round of practice. Then there's the studio itself, a four foot by seven foot space in the back of the classroom adorned with acoustic panels and sealed off by a glass window and a metal door; for the ULTIMATE voice acting environment. Rigged within that environment is some of the most trusted voice acting equipment one could ask to work with - complete with microphone, pop guard, interface, and headphones (I would learn in greater depth about the equipment itself in week 2). Stepping into this space always made my heart flutter; kind of like that feeling I would get before going on stage. However, the spotlight offered while working with the Voice Actor's Studio family would feel far warmer than any other I had enjoyed previously. The four week course allowed plenty of opportunity to meet several amazing performers who had come to find their happy place within the Voice Actor's Studio community. Brent Mukai, a burgeoning voice actor who I had known in the Las Vegas Improv scene for about a decade, assisted with recording in our third class and teaching during our final class. Casey Eade, an amazing pixie of a personality, encouraged us all to feel safe from judgment and valued for our talent as she recorded our work during the first two weeks of the course. The real star, however, is the studio's founder - Mrs. Melissa Moats, who served as our teacher the first three weeks of the course before falling ill and missing our final class at the eleventh hour. Melissa is a brilliant, unselfish, and friendly mentor. She is knowledgeable, generous with her energy, behaves as if she is genuinely fascinated by each class member's potential, and she possesses the directing skills to help find the sound she's looking for in us. Her warm energy easily spread throughout the room, and one gets the sense while working with her that they should be grateful for the opportunity to be guided by one so knowledgeable. The course itself is not entirely strenuous. Note taking is light, and much of each class is spent listening to each of the students step into the booth, try their chops out, receive feedback, and then try again. Everyone in our 14-15 person class got a chance for booth time each week, with AMPLE opportunity coming during the final week. I am obviously gushing about finding the Voice Actors Studio, which has proven itself to be a rare oasis of positivity for creative minds. Melissa Moats, Casey Eade,and Brent Mukai all took such care throughout their interactions with us to make sure our experience was... well, "fruitful"...and I feel like I got precisely what I wanted from the beginners course. However... now that I've had my first course at The Voice Actor's Studio, I know I'm going to grow more hungry for the rest of the meal. I hope I find my way back sooner rather than later. Thank you thank you thank you TVAS! I pray I find a way to make this exhilarating art form more my bread and butter.

    I studied voice over in LA, many years ago, but dong this class at TVAS was a great learning experience, it was also a lot of fun. Our group of 15 students were all very talented and Melissa brought out the best in all of us, we supported each other and that was most important. I highly recommend this if you are interested in voice over or looking for something new. From the moment you walk in to when you leave class it is a fun learning place and fill with warmth from the staff which radiates into the students. Great Fun...Great Learning..I am continuing with more classes as I think my class members are going to. Bob Sattler

    I just completed the 4 week beginner's course at The Voice Actors Studio in Las Vegas! This has been an incredible experience. I learned so much about how to break into this business. The class was taught by the very capable and amazingly talented Melissa Moats, who is also the founder and owner. Melissa in her own right has had a successful career in Voice acting for over 20 years. So, she knows what she is talking about. She teaches with such passion and compassion. And she's a lot of fun too! I wholeheartedly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in starting a career in voice acting or even just for fun as a hobby. Melissa and her entire team are absolutely amazing!!!!! Check them out, you won't be disappointed!!

    This show leaves me speechless everytime. My husband and I have seen it twice, but again more…read morerecently. We decided to surprise our friends with tickets and no context at all. We were super excited knowing what we had watched before, so was excited to see their reaction to it, too. The venue itself is amazing. It's a circus tent right outside of Cesear's palace. You walk in and are greeted with the funniest, kindest people ready to move you to your seats. Your server comes over quickly to ensure that any drinks are flowing! The chairs in the establishment are hilarious and just basic chairs with some designs on them. The venue itself quickly filled up and the show started. It was funny, sexy, raunchy, and jaw-dropping. Half of the show I kept looking at our friends making sure they were having a great time and, to no surprise, they were. The circus acts are unbelievable and the comedic relief dabbled in makes it even more of an experience. This is, by far, one of the best shows I've seen in Vegas! Highly recommend.

    What the f*ck did I just watch?!…read more Go into this one knowing there is zero traditional storyline - and honestly, that's part of the charm! It's a collection of jaw-dropping circus acts, comedy, and "how is this even happening right now?" moments stitched together with a very loose thread. It's wild, a little raunchy, super impressive, and totally committed to its own chaos. The performers are insanely talented, and the energy in the room makes it feel like you're part of the show even when you're just sitting there trying to process what you just saw. Definitely not your typical Vegas production - but that's exactly why it works! Go in blind, lean into it, and just let it be weird.

I got selected for audience participation, which was sort of my nightmare, but it was fine in the end. The clowning was fun and didn't feel mean-spirited. Just a heads up - don't sit on the aisle if that's going to be tough for you. We really liked the combination of acrobatics, physical comedy, practical effects, and the amazing display of technology. It was truly a spectacle. The seats were comfy, the theater was gorgeous, and we really liked their signature frozen drink, the "O!" with rum. It was delightful. I had a tough time with the line - it wasn't well organized and didn't move very quickly. The line has you queuing up in the middle of the casino floor, sort of a classic recipe for overstimulation if you arrive any early than your show time.

I've seen this show twice, once opening night and then again in October 2023. I was in the first row stage left the first time, and the second row dead center the second time. The first time my view was blocked by a woman with very curly, poofy hair. The second time my view was blocked by everyone seated at the cocktail tables. The Duomo is a horrible venue because the seats are neither staggered nor graduated like stadium seating. The stage isn't high enough above the seating to give everyone a good view. I've seen X Country at Harrah's, Fantasy at Luxor, and Red Velvet Burlesque at Notoriety downtown - all of them have different seating and stage configurations for this sort of show, but you can actually see the performers. This show needs a different venue. They have Julia Flypole doing arial hoop work but it's like a 7 or 8 foot ceiling from the stage to the top. She also performs in Red Velvet Burlesque and her routine is from a silk that is easily two stories long. It's just not the same effect doing acrobatics and arial pole in such a short room. The show is a mix of singing and burlesque dancing set to rock-esque type music. There is no nudity in this show. Everyone has pasties on in addition to bra tops, unlike other showgirl burlesque shows. While it's obviously 18+ because it's burlesque, nothing is too risque, except the bathtub dance is a bit over the top raunchy for my taste. The dancing is good. The costuming is good. The singer actually has a good voice. The only problem is the venue is garbage and not a good fit for this show. There is limited audience participation in this show.

    Wow? Yes. Vegas? Naturally. Spectacular? Often enough…read more WOW - The Vegas Spectacular is a variety show that has been anchoring the Rio Showroom theater for almost a decade. I've been a Rio Rewards member recently, and their 2nd tier and above grant you free annual show tickets. I decided this year to try WOW. You probably wanna save the incentive until the day-of, printing it out from the kiosk then directly taking it to the box office. Then you can pick your seats. The tier of seating available to me was the same as the Pepto-Bismol colored section on the chart visible online when you try to make a purchase. These appear to have a retail value of $86.32 each w/ fees. You can get in pretty easily with your tickets, but you can't bring all that much stuff in. They do have a table where you can leave stuff and pick it up afterward though. They also seem to compensate for disallowing water bottles by setting up free cups of ice water at the bar inside the venue for anyone to take. The show is not Cirque-level, but it's got quite a few exciting acts dispersed over the 1.5-ish hours. And when they set up shop on the protruding circle of the stage, it feels really, really close to the seats. For specific highlights, Silvia Silvia, the crossbow-wielding grandma, does feel world-class. So do most if not all of the acrobats. The main character / "clown" does a solid enough job with interstitials and comic relief overall. Some of the comic stuff and juggling is not all that exciting, and the dancing feels a little tame and sometimes totally unnecessary (not even as a delaying tactic). It'd be nice if they could add a little more intensity in the middle third (before Silvia Silvia), as well as more examples of showing off words and graphics in the falling water. Production-wise, they could certainly make improvements. I'll excuse the old screens/videos, but they don't seem to have heard of surround sound. Instead, the speakers blast at you from one direction, mainly into my right ear from where I was sitting. If they improve the sound, and maybe fade some of the music instead of abruptly halting them before moving to the next track, the show would feel more polished and maybe only half a tier behind the big shows rather than a whole level. Overall, WOW is a good but not great show, better at least than tired old Blue Man Group and maybe some really random stuff at the cheapest Strip properties. You could probably do quite better if spending actual cash, but Rio Rewards regulars should have this show on their checklist.
