A Professional VO Demo Preparation package
designed to help you craft agent-worthy voice acting performances that book.
***This service is for you if you are recording a VO demo in the near future or if you are preparing reads for an agent, network, or studio. ***
I will teach you techniques to help you get out of your head, and perform confidently on your big day.
Do you feel locked into your performances?
Is the thought of recording your demo making you nervous?
Are you having trouble with the conversational read?
Is “connecting” with VO copy a romantic, but elusive concept?
Are you unsure about vocal placement for each script?
Worried you won’t make the most of the scripts you’ve been given?
Are you unsure about the quality of your performances?
The performances in your VO demo are EVERYTHING.
No music or sound effect can hide an OK performance.
A good demo doesn’t just sound good. It’s your BRAND.
But your brand is only as strong as your SKILLSET.
Don’t just bling your VOICE. Get a Voice Acting coach who can teach you to BE the bling.
Here’s the truth about Demo Producers: They will ALL make you sound pretty good.
But in this decade, SOUNDING good is not nearly enough.
You have to BE great.
As well as unique, authentic, and creative.
The days of relying on your voice are over.
No one will care about the great music or sound effects in your demo either, once you’re recording the gig live in the booth.
Agents, Casting Directors and Producers aren’t looking for good sounding demos.
They’re looking for voice actors who are skilled enough let their PERSONALITY shine through their reads.
Who are savvy enough to deliver reads that answer market trends.
Clients with the big bucks want the BEST talents. Those who can ELEVATE copy, not merely read it with a pretty voice.
So, don’t just bling your voice. Get coaching that teaches you to BE the bling.
Most actors try to CATCH UP to their demos.
Professional VO demo preparation will teach you to let your demo catch up to YOU.
Facts…
Being able to reproduce the reads that are on your demo, after the fact, is important. Otherwise, you’ll lose the people you worked so hard to get behind you.
A commercial VO demo should represent you and inspire your agents, clients and team to fight for you when the casting gets tough.
Buyers, agents, and casting directors all want the same things: someone original, elevates their craft to an art form, and can make scripts sound better than they even imagined.
They industry wants more…Original, Conversational, Engaging, Connected…
…And YOU want to feel Grounded and Believable, NOT phony and not GENERIC.
Learn professional VO demo preparation techniques that are designed to help you turn ordinary performances into extraordinary ones.
The tools you seek to master your reads hide in your everyday speech.
I’ve designed acting based-techniques to help you bypass your reading brain so you can “speak” any VO copy you perform authentically, unapologetically, and confidently on every take.
My Professional VO Demo Preparation package will help you…
Perform your scripts in fresh new ways, every time.
The techniques I share in a Professional VO Demo Preparation package are designed to help you:
- Produce original, natural reads appropriate for the copy, in a heart beat;
- Be flexible and able to follow directions, so you can perform confidently.

I wrapped up my session with Chuck Duran a bit ago, and it went SO WELL!! He was super impressed. He wanted me to pass along that all of your direction was spot on, and made everything go so smoothly. I couldn’t be more grateful for your help in getting me to a place where I could go into this session relaxed and confident in what we worked on, and efficiently put out what I know is going to be an amazing demo! Thank you thank you thank you!!

If you get the opportunity to work with Lili, do it. If you’re nervous, get in your own head, can’t get creative with copy, or just generally need to fine tune your skills, she’ll help you get to where you want to be. Lili’s excellent at being able to target exactly what issues you’re facing and helping you work through them. She’s patient, supportive, and flexible. She helped me get ready for 2 demo recordings. The recording session was creative, efficient, and we knocked it out of the park.

Thanks so much for all your incredible coaching preparing me for last Thursday – you were so fun to work with and you helped bring me up to the next level in bringing a script to life! Also, since last week, I got my first animation job for an online spot for the state of Hawaii that I’ll be recording in a live session in an hour and I used a bunch of the tools you taught me in our last few sessions for that audition, so thank you! 🙂
GENERIC performances don’t captivate. ORIGINAL ones do. Professional VO demo preparation will help you tap into your genius before your demo recording.
Rate: $495/Demo if paid by Zelle in the US (or $515 if paid internationally).
A demo contains 4-6 spots.
If you have two demos (say one commercial and one narration), you’ll need to schedule 2 packages so we can give every spot the love it needs, and help you make the best demos possible.
Your package is comprehensive to ensure you’re in the best shape on Recording day. For the best results, it includes:
1 x Zoom Discovery Call (15-20 minutes). You’ll be assessed, and get instructions on prepping your reads.
3 x Zoom Coaching sessions (50 minutes each). We’ll work on your spots and make sure you’re ready for your demo.
1 x Zoom Post-Demo Production Feedback session (15 minutes). Get feedback on the order of your demos.
If needed, you may schedule additional single session at $150/session if paid by Zelle in the US ($160 internationally).

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a reputable demo producer to recommend?
Yes, I work with Chuck Duran regularly. I’ve made 5 demos myself with him over the last twenty years and I’ve coached many voice actors before they recorded their demos with him. None regretted it. You’re in great hands with him, and we make a great pair.
I was referred by Chuck Duran.
Welcome! If Chuck referred you, you’re in the right place. The demo preparation package entails 3 coaching sessions, and costs $495 per demo (includes 4-6 spots). If this is within your budget, apply here, and you’ll be able to book a discovery call with me so I can answer any service-related questions you might have.
I have a demo date booked.
Great! I offer 3-session demo preparation packages ($495 per demo, includes 4-6 spots) designed specifically for voice actors with a demo recording date already booked. If you’re comfortable with the rate, you can apply here, after which you’ll be able to book a discovery call to meet me and ask me service-related questions.
What is demo prep coaching?
Demo preparation is a package of 3 one-on-one sessions exclusively focused on helping you become flexible, conversational, and confident performing your demo scripts before your recording session.
How much does demo prep cost?
Demo preparation is $495 per demo, covering 4-6 spots across 3 sessions. If you have two demos (e.g. one commercial and one narration) you’ll need two packages.
What is the difference between private coaching and demo prep coaching?
Private coaching builds the foundation over time — becoming conversational, connecting with scripts, script analysis, and becoming competitive at auditions. Demo prep is 3 sessions exclusively focused on preparing you to perform your demo scripts confidently for your recording session.
I don't have a demo recording session set up yet, can I book this service?
If you are preparing reads to present to an agency, a network, or a studio, you may also use this service. Just keep in mind that if you are new to VO you may need more than the 3 sessions included in this package. Additional sessions are billed at $150/session. If you do not have scripts (whether they be commercial, narration, animation, or video games) Lili will provide some for you based on your voice.
I need to prepare a few voice samples for a meeting with an agent, a network, or a studio, can I book this service?
Yes, you may also use this service. Just keep in mind that if you are new to VO you may need more than the 3 sessions included in this package. Additional sessions are billed at $150/session. If you do not have scripts (whether they be commercial, narration, animation, or video games) Lili will provide some for you based on your voice.
Are the coaching sessions in person or on Zoom?
The sessions take place over Zoom. You must be set up on a computer (and not a phone) and I must be able to see you, so you’ll need a camera. I will often share my screen to explain things, so it’s important to be on a computer where you can see clearly.
What is your general availability for these sessions?
Generally, you’ll be able to schedule your sessions during the week, between 2pm and 6pm PT, except Wednesdays.
Exception can be made for earlier time slots, but these are harder to keep as I typically record with clients earlier in the day and they have priority over my schedule.
I do not coach on weekends.
How far in advance should I book a demo prep?
You should book your Professional Demo Preparation sessions within two weeks of your Recording Day. You will need 3 available slots in the schedule prior to your demo recording session. Ideally, one of the slots is the day before your recording session.
When should I provide you with my demo scripts?
As soon as you get them! Either way, we should have them within 48 hours of your first session.
How often can I book sessions?
Ideally, your sessions are scheduled with at least one day off between them.
Do I have to do homework between sessions?
There may be. If so, I will give you instructions.
Are there cancellation fees for Professional Demo Preparation sessions?
I am a licensed voice acting coach in California, which means that by law, you must sign a California compliant contract before paying for your coaching package with me. Once you sign it, you can pay for your VO Coaching package. You can get a full refund for a coaching package before you start coaching (no refunds after starting). Once you book, there are no cancellation fees as I myself have to cancel sometimes.
Do I need to prepare anything?
There usually isn’t anything for you to prepare, but if there is, you’ll get instructions in the Discovery call.
Do you need anything from me?
Aside from scripts, I’ll have your materials from the Application, so you’re all set!
Can you help with my recording studio?
For tech help, reach out to https://georgethe.tech/ or https://www.boothjunkie.com/. Either of them can help you make sure your recording set up is just perfect.
Do I need to be in my recording space to coach with you?
You do not. As long as I can hear you, you can work from your desktop/lap top. Note that I will share my screen and have you read your scripts from it, so you won’t want to be on your phone.
With all that said, you will want to be ready to record in your space on your demo recording date, so it’s a good idea to practice beforehand. Ideally, you have your set up sorted out by our 3rd session so you can practice in it (it will make your demo session smoother). But being in your recording space is not a requisite to work with me as we are not recording together.
Again, if you need tech help for your recording space, reach out to https://georgethe.tech/ or https://www.boothjunkie.com/. Either of them can help you make sure your set up is just perfect.
Wait, is there any fine print?
As much as I would love to promise employment after coaching with me, this does not depend on me. It depends on you, your marketing efforts, your casting, casting directors, the marketplace, and the stars. I strive to give you the best tools to make you competitive. The rest is up to you (and to the universe)!
What happens after the Discovery Call! Where do I book?
If we’re a fit, at the end of our Discovery call you’ll be asked to sign a coaching contract after which you can make your payment and book your sessions.
Want to help clients find YOU?
Learn how I get clients like
FIFA, Universal, and the BBC to find me!
The biggest mistake I see voice actors make? They spend thousands on demos and obsess over getting agents… while staying practically invisible online. Meanwhile, voiceover clients are actively searching for talent they can hire directly. I'm talking about clients like Google, Intel, Hitachi, Universal, Boeing, Booking.com, FIFA, Morgan Stanley, L'Oreal, Starbucks, Target, and the list goes on (and on). There are thousands of VO producers in dozens of VO sectors looking for voices online every day. But they can only hire the talent they can actually find. Stop pouring money into the wrong kind of marketing. Instead, grab these simple, low-tech visibility tips that could bring you a far bigger return on your investment.
