Gravy For The Brain (GFTB) is the world's largest online voiceover training platform, founded by Hugh Edwards and Peter Dickson (the iconic voice of The X Factor UK). With over 17 full courses, hundreds of webinars, mentoring sessions, and built-in CRM tools for managing your voiceover business, GFTB provides everything needed to launch and grow a professional voiceover career — all in one subscription. The global voiceover market is valued at over $4 billion and growing rapidly, driven by demand for commercial narration, audiobooks, e-learning, podcasts, animation, video games, and AI-adjacent voice work.

What the Platform Covers

Voice technique fundamentals — breath control, diaphragmatic breathing, vocal warm-ups, mic technique, pacing, tone modulation, and vocal health maintenance
Commercial voiceover — reading and interpreting commercial scripts, finding the conversational read, hard sell vs. soft sell techniques, brand voice matching, and audition strategies for TV/radio/digital commercials
Character and animation voiceover — creating distinct character voices, accent work, emotional range, dialogue performance, and breaking into animation and video game voice work
Narration and documentary — long-form narration technique, corporate narration, documentary style, medical/legal/technical narration, and audiobook performance
Home studio setup — microphone selection (USB vs. XLR), audio interfaces, acoustic treatment, recording software (Audacity, Adobe Audition, Reaper), noise reduction, and creating broadcast-quality recordings from home
Demo reel production — planning your demo, selecting scripts, recording and editing demos, and understanding what casting directors and agents look for in voiceover demos
Voiceover business skills — setting rates, creating invoices, client communication, building a client base, creating a website, SEO for voiceover artists, and managing your voiceover business with GFTB's built-in CRM
Auditioning and casting — navigating pay-to-play sites (Voices.com, Voice123), direct marketing to agencies, cold outreach strategies, and building relationships with casting directors
Industry specializations — e-learning narration, IVR/telephony, podcast hosting, promo work, trailer voiceover, and emerging opportunities in AI voice work

Why This Platform Stands Out

Key advantages: (1) Founded by industry legends — Peter Dickson and Hugh Edwards bring decades of real-world voiceover experience and industry connections. (2) All-in-one platform — unlike piecemeal courses, GFTB includes training, community, mentoring, business tools, and ongoing webinars in a single subscription. (3) Beginner to advanced — structured courses for every level, so complete beginners and working professionals both find value. (4) Business focus — uniquely includes CRM tools and business training, recognizing that voiceover success requires entrepreneurial skills, not just vocal talent. (5) Community and mentoring — active forums, weekly live webinars, and access to mentoring sessions with working professionals. (6) Low barrier to entry — voiceover is one of the few performance careers you can start from a home studio with minimal upfront investment. (7) Global marketplace — voiceover work can be done entirely remotely, making it ideal for location-independent income.

Who It Is For

Aspiring voiceover artists looking for structured training, actors wanting to add voiceover to their skill set, podcasters looking to improve their vocal delivery, corporate professionals considering a voiceover side hustle, musicians and singers exploring voice-related income streams, retirees with distinctive voices looking for flexible income, content creators wanting professional narration skills, anyone interested in audiobook narration, and people seeking location-independent creative careers.

Career Outcomes

Commercial Voiceover Artist ($30K-$200K+, highly variable), Audiobook Narrator ($20K-$80K for part-time, $50K-$150K+ full-time via ACX/Audible), E-Learning Narrator ($30K-$75K), Corporate Narration ($40K-$100K), Animation Voice Actor ($40K-$500K+ for series regulars), Video Game Voice Actor ($35K-$150K+), Promo/Trailer Voice ($50K-$300K+), IVR/Telephony Voice ($25K-$60K as supplementary income). SAG-AFTRA union commercial voiceover rates start at approximately $350 per 13-week cycle for radio and $500+ for television. Top commercial voiceover artists with national campaign bookings earn $200K-$1M+ annually.

Format & Pricing

Monthly subscription: £39/month (approximately $50/month USD). Annual subscription available at a discount. The subscription includes access to all 17 courses, weekly live webinars, hundreds of archived webinars, community forums, mentoring sessions, and CRM business tools. No prerequisites — the platform is designed for complete beginners through advanced professionals. Additional investments to consider: home studio setup ($200-$2,000 depending on quality level), demo reel production ($500-$2,500 if using a professional producer), and casting site subscriptions ($300-$500/year for Voices.com or Voice123 premium). GFTB regularly offers trial periods and promotional pricing for new members.
