The Voice Den is the place to have a live chat with the Voicefluencers – the most influential personalities in the voice industry.
Selected participants will sit on the hot seat and talk live with these voice mentors. Ask some burning questions, get some consulting or advice for your latest voice project, or just talk about your favourite beer.
It’s up to you. The floor is yours.
(Yes… It’s kind of like Shark Tank, but better!)

Virtual Experience
Webinars get old, fast. It’s time to redefine what it means to attend a virtual event. The Voice Den brings the spontaneity of live events, the fun of a reality game show, while ditching the stale parts of traditional online webinars.
Hanging Out
With Voicefluencers & Friends
The best part about in-person events is meeting up with friends, colleagues, and mentors. Who says you can’t do that online?! The Voice Den is all about hanging out, laughing, and just plain having fun…. oh, and maybe learning a thing or two.
How Does it Work?
A Live Studio Audience… sort of…
- Reserve your seat for The Voice Den.
- The moment you grab your ticket, you can start chatting with others in the Den (i.e. right NOW!).
- With a drink and some snacks in hand, enter The Voice Den. Show up a few minutes early to shoot the breeze with others! We kick things off at 5pm PDT / 8pm EDT SHARP!
- Raise your hand (so to speak – you’ll see!) if you want to be invited onto the hot seat to ask the Voicefluencers some questions. Or be a fly on the wall and keep your hand down if you tend to be the strong, silent type!
- Selected people will be called on to sit in the hot seat, join the show live, and have a powwow with the mentors. How are the participants chosen? You’ll have to wait and see!
- Make the most of your time with the Voicefluencers. Trust me, you’ll know when your time is up!
- Repeat with a new person on the hot seat.
- 60 minutes later, when we’re all done, rave about The Voice Den.
- Join the next session.
- Apply to be a Voicefluencer on an upcoming session (see bottom of this page).
