Funny how the universe works sometimes. please keep sharing your gift with the world. I’m so impressed by your teaching and just the fun you allow to happen. I’m so happy to be a part of this. Thank you."
Jeremy K.
"Thanks so much for class. It has been awesome every single week! And thank you! I am really starting to see this as something I could do as a true passion, I know the road ahead is long and takes practice, but I have never had an art that lets me express myself and feel so free like this. It is truly amazing. I will most certainly be taking other classes with you."
Max P.
"I cannot express my gratitude to you. I feel like I still have a lot to learn and grow into, but in a big way, you have helped me so much on that and given me more strength in my own thoughts of myself and my work. Not to mention the very tangible and practicable skills you taught me for working my voice to its most natural, honest, and clear. Also, you're such a great person to be around and work with!! Your sense of what's funny, what is interesting for entertainment, your jokes, your experience and knowledge of the work... It wouldn't have been half as fun if you weren't... you! :) " — Charlie M.
"This class was the absolute bomb. I’m so proud to have been a part of this very special troop. You all are amazing!
Thank you Michelle, and everyone, for creating and providing a safe and comfortable place in which to play, but thanks most of all, for your kindnesses and generosities. I am truly inspired and motivated to continue because of this group.
Excellent class, tremendously talented group, and a gifted and generous (patient) teacher. What else is there? I am Inspired by all of you to continue to explore, to invent, to create, and to learn and grow.
You have all taught an old timer like me that where we have been does NOT define where we are going, but merely adds color, flavor, and the opportunity to reflect and change course. You guys rock. Thank you for everything! Stay in touch. I may go dark on FB (I do not use Messenger), but you have my email and phone number. I’ll be here...trying to figuring out what to do next - so hit me up! Peace, and every blessing of success and happiness…"
Michael S.
"Thank you so much Michelle!! Loved every minute of this class!! I learned so much from everyone"
Christina H.
"It's all about the energy, intention and love that you put out there Michelle Campbell - you created a safe, fun, hilarious 6 weeks of exercises that helped up get started on building our tool box! Thank you and to our talented group!"
"Thank you for the experience, Michelle! It was a great learning environment made possible by you, as well as all these wonderful people in our class. It was an honor and I look forward to keeping up with everyone."
Student Testimonials for Commercial Class!
“The Diving Into Commercial Class was an absolutely fantastic experience for me. There is no better place to find a community of classmates and an instructor to bring out your very best. Michelle’s innate ability to guide and challenge you in the kindest and most precise way, helped me quickly understand the nuances, and intricacies in script writing, breaking down commercial copy, practicing conversational tone, seconds takes, etc. I have never felt more prepared in submitting auditions and even recently working with producers for a paid job! Signing up for the Diving Into Commercial 6-week class is an ABSOLUTE MUST!” ~ Celeste P.
"The 6 week commercial class was a great experience! I've worked with Michelle in private commercial sessions (which have also helped A LOT), but the group class offered so much more. Being able to see and hear the other students read the wide variety of scripts, and take Michelle's suggestions and change up a read just like that, was really helpful. And when it was my turn, I got the same personal attention from Michelle as in a private session until I got it right. Best of all coaching worlds. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a ton."
-Alan B.
“I took Diving Into Commercial VO to explore a new area of VO and see if it was a good fit. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and found it exceptionally informative. Michelle is very knowledgeable and experienced. She genuinely cares about her students and strives to enlighten, equip and empower each one to successfully make a career of voice over acting. She spends time with each student analyzing the copy and teaching ways to make the words come alive for you so that you can make it come alive for the audience. I truly can not recommend this class enough, nor sing Michelle's praises loud enough. Do yourself and your career a favor and take this class.”
-Donna R.
"I just wanted to say thank you. What you and Steve are creating is amazing. I’m not sure if everyone understands how amazing what you’re doing is or how unusually it is, but I very much do. I know how hard it is to build a community from scratch. It’s a thankless job so I just wanted to say thank you! And I see you. If there’s anything I can do to help please let me know." Emily C.
"Whether you are just starting out, been at this for years, or somewhere in between, Michelle has the unique ability to challenge you and bring out the best in you! I have taken several classes with Southwest Voices and each of them helps me become a better Voice Actor. Coaching is the foundation of good voice over. Build yours with Southwest Voices!"
-Monique M.
"Your classes are among the most professional, enjoyable, and educational of any that I've taken--ever! You employ a stairstep method that builds mastery at each level. My compliments! Very very well done!"
-Daniel Williams
"Thank you, as always, for creating a learning environment that is welcoming, encouraging, safe, and creative. You make it easy for us to use the diving board...❤️ And my sincerest thanks to our entire class. You guys are awesome, and I hope we stay in touch to share our challenges, our ideas, and our successes."
Michael S.
I so appreciate everything you do. It’s always an honor to be coached by you! - Mikayla
"I have been cast in a role for my first audiobook! A big shout out “Thank You” to my coaches Steve Corona and Michelle Campbell of Southwest Voices for their solid training and working, industry advice -
(SOUTHWEST VOICES ALUMNI BOOK JOBS!!!) "
-Michael S.
"So digged this, thank you! So informative, appreciate you! I'll admit, at first I was like "more Michelle" because in the beginning it's the students sharing and reading....then, I realized "oh my gosh, she is getting them all comfortable!" Because its uncomfortable for most to just participate but, each student warmed up to it from the intro to the actually reads of copy. And, by the end, I actually felt like I knew those individuals! Connection and Comfort, so key and you gave them (and me just observing!) that xo."

A NOTE FROM STEVE AND MICHELLE & SOUTHWEST VOICES:
We are beyond grateful for the actors we’ve had the absolute privilege of working with and guiding over these last 4 years (2020-2024) and we THANK YOU for trusting us!
Due to both of our demanding & growing careers outside of Southwest Voices, we have made the tough decision to very amicably part ways as business partners and dissolve Southwest Voices.
The incredible content of this video remains and we just didn't want to let this go. SO it will still be available for purchase! Yay!
Though we will longer be working under this umbrella together, are both still available individually for coaching and guidance.
