HERE’S WHAT STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY…
MEET YOUR COACH …
HI! I’M HAVILLAND MAXWELL
I'm a voiceover coach based in Columbus, Ohio, for beginners who want to learn more about voice acting.
I’ve also been a voice actor for over 15 years; I’ve voiced radio & TV commercials, training videos, explainer videos, live events, infomercials, and even meeting minutes. (yes, people have actually paid for that!)
I’ve enjoyed voicing projects for Apple, J. Crew, Mastercard, Lowe’s, Macy’s, Avon, Hollywood Casino, Guthy-Renker, and more!
I’m here to help you get started as a voice actor. I aim to give you the 411 on what voice acting is all about. I want to help you discover your voice to build a successful foundation for your voice-acting career.
The experience and knowledge I've gained from working at a voiceover production studio, cable access station, NBC-affiliated TV station, and SAG-AFTRA franchised talent agency helps me instruct you and encourage you as you start your journey as a beginner in the industry.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE COMPANIES I’VE WORKED WITH:
I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH SOME AMAZING CLIENTS AND MADE A GREAT LIVING FROM VOICE ACTING, BUT I DIDN’T START OUT THIS WAY…
I started as a voice actor while working a full-time job. One day, I was talking on the phone, and someone told me I had a pleasant voice. I didn’t think anything of it, but it turned out that someone else was listening, too; the “Phone Guy.”
The Phone Guy called me and asked me to record the on-hold greetings for the company’s phone system.
I sat in the conference room, holding a landline up to my ear, going through the script. “Press 1 for…Press 2 for….” After I recorded my first few prompts (and got paid!) I looked at him and said what is this?? He said, “You’re doing voiceover work.” I was hooked!
I went from getting $100 for one voiceover spot to years later, earning over $30,000 from just one spot!
I don’t say all this to show off, but I want to express that voice acting can be a game-changer for you!

SO LISTEN, REAL TALK, MY FRIEND…
It's time for you to do this thing you really want to do. My mission is to help you gain more clarity, attract more clients, and live confidently.
I want you to fall in love with voiceover just like I have. I want you to see how much fun it is to stand behind a mic and bring a copy to life (and get paid to do so!). It’s one of the best “jobs” I’ve had.
It’s one that’s helped me build confidence, make wonderful connections, and gain valuable mentorship, and it pushed me to be my own boss!
I want you to understand that voiceover is not just “reading things off of a piece of paper”; it’s a real art, and it takes dedication to see success. I’m here to help you start by using an encouraging, easy-to-understand coaching approach that’s real and to the point.
I started my voice acting journey in that conference room, and that one opportunity created a spark that led me to:
An internship and later a job at a VO production studio where I learned how spots are actually put together (and I got my first radio gig!)
A position at a cable access TV station where I learned how to run camera for sporting events, plus I was also a technical director for community meetings.
A position as a producer, reporter, and anchor for an NBC affiliate
A talent agency. I worked for five years as an audition coordinator at a SAG-AFTRA franchised agency in the Midwest. There, I coached & guided actors & voice actors to help them submit their best performances when auditioning for commercial and film roles.
Emcee at a Midwest casino where I promoted live events, giveaways, and even bands.
Becoming a voice actor, on-camera talent, and even hand model for some great companies!
When I coach, I bring all of my experiences from my creative background to the table to help you build a solid foundation for your business.
I want you to win, and I work to equip you with what you need to succeed!
I hope to see you in the program!
