Parent & Me
Classes
Parent and Me sessions at Voice Works Lab are fully tailored to each student, with one special difference: parents jump in too, making it something you and your child get to enjoy together.
Students work from popular animated movies and TV shows as well as unique scripts we provide, and every session is built around what works best for them. We start with warm-ups, then dive into the scripts at whatever pace feels right.
Parents voice characters right alongside their child in a warm, supportive, and judgment-free environment where both parent and child feel safe to be silly, take risks, and just have fun.
Here are some of the benefits of taking a class together:
For your child: Having your full attention and involvement is validating and confidence-boosting. And when they see you being silly and taking risks right alongside them, it makes it that much safer for them to do the same.
For you: You'll come away with a deeper understanding of your child's strengths and challenges, and a chance to be fully present with them, with no agenda other than having fun,
For both of you: Real quality time away from screens and distractions. A chance to laugh, play, and connect in a low-pressure, judgment-free way.
This is more than just voice acting. The classes themselves become a tool for real growth, and students walk away with stronger reading and speaking skills, improved focus, greater self-confidence, improved social skills, and so much more. This is academic, social, and emotional growth all at once, in the most unexpected and enjoyable way.

-
A typical class or private session includes warm-up exercises, and then we jump right into reading a variety of fun scripts. Sometimes we read scripts from popular animated movies or TV shows, and sometimes we read scripts from shows that aren’t on tv yet. We work on listening to each other, staying focused, communicating clearly, and most of all, having a lot of fun. It doesn’t matter what level each student is at, we meet them where they are and help them to grow however they need to. It’s an extremely inclusive and supportive environment.
-
We work with kids as young as 5 and above. For 5 and 6-year-olds, we recommend private sessions. Group classes are available for students 7-17. We also offer private sessions or custom group classes for anyone 18 or over. If someone of any age wants to set up a custom class with their friends, we can do that as well. Contact us, and we can set it up.
-
Students are welcome to use a microphone, but microphones are not required to take the class. All they need is a desktop or laptop computer or iPad to take the classes.

Yes, classes are all on Zoom. It’s a lot of fun because we get kids from all over.

If your student can’t make a class, please let us know 24 hours ahead. If they are in a group class, we will set them up to take a make-up class. If your student is taking privates, we will just reschedule.
-
Private sessions can be paid for one at a time, but the price goes down when you purchase 4 at a time.
Group classes are charged for 6 sessions at a time. We do this so kids can continue working with each other for several weeks. It helps them to become more comfortable taking risks and working together as a group.
