“The skill level of the actors I’m competing with is something I can’t control, but what I CAN control is how hard I work on my skills – and NOBODY is going to work harder than me”. So what kind of behavior does a life philosophy like that manifest? That you’re going to wait for opportunities to come to you? No, you’re going to go after them, starting from a paid casting website and then learning how to game that system to your best and smartest advantage. You’re going to take in what mentors tell you, learn to understand your strengths in an unflinching way and apply them strategically to maximize the impact of your already maximized efforts!

That’s VICKI BAUM, the Voicetrax narration guru (Apple, Google and Cisco, oh my!), our very own villainous “Storm Queen” from the global phenomenon Vainglory and the ubiquitous voice of the utility company PG&E campaign for four years running. She’s a Voicetrax Alum (but she still takes classes!) and was honored as Voicetrax’s Top Teacher in 2020. Vicki’s outlook and personal experience, including her fifteen-year tenure as an employee and now as the co-owner of Voicetrax, has prompted her to create some of the most innovative and practical classes ever at Voicetrax. And when it comes to individual mentoring, really getting to know her students, and sharing the wisdom of her experience, Vicki is a passionate and generous teacher.
