About North America’s
Premier voice-over training school

Since 2007, thousands of On The Mic students have trained to compete globally—going on to work on international commercial campaigns and AAA video games, as well as marquee animation and high-profile dubbing series, premium audiobooks, and network broadcast documentary series.

Our global voice-over expertise gives you an honest, real-world view of the industry—and what it truly takes to succeed. No gimmicks, shortcuts, or magic bullets: we help you build the craft, work ethic, and foundation for a career that can last decades.

On The Mic is the only voice-over school in the English-speaking world to offer a full-time voice-over program—created to help legitimize the profession through a higher standard of education. We built an immersive program designed to give performers the foundation for a lasting career which has resulted in a high level agency placement rate and success for our graduates. ,

Our award-winning instructors are A-list voice actors and industry leaders—working at the highest level of the global business and bringing the current conversation of voice-over directly from the studio into the classroom.

We are the first nationally based voice-over school in the world, with a presence in both major entertainment cities (Vancouver/Toronto).

Our broadcast-quality studios are built to reflect the professional voice-over environment—giving students the opportunity to train, perform, and record at an industry-standard level. Every On The Mic class is led by an instructor and a professional engineer.

Our proprietary curriculum, A-list instructors, exceptional instructor-to-student ratios, and professional studio experience are designed to make every class feel like the real industry. Train in-studio or online, record with professional engineers, and receive your work after every class.

Our specialized part-time program offers flexible training for all ages and experience levels, in-studio in Vancouver and Toronto or remotely. It is the ideal place to experience voice-over and build real skills when a full-time commitment is not the right fit.

OTM is the largest and most respected voice-over school in the English-speaking world, recognized by agents, studios, and performers across Canada, the U.S., and beyond. Our world-class instructors and graduates work throughout the global voice-over industry—and some agents actively seek new talent exclusively from our program.

The full-time program builds lifelong friendships that often become one of the most meaningful parts of the experience. After graduation, students join a connected community of hundreds of alumni sharing knowledge, opportunities, and support through Discord, Zoom workouts, and ongoing connections throughout the industry.

As an international student coming from half the world away, I was incredibly anxious and nervous at the start of the course, but everyone at OTM was always encouraging and patient. I don’t think I’d ever been quite so excited to go to school before. OTM, thank you for some of the best experiences of my life! 😆 I had so much fun and learned lots, and would sincerely do it all over again in a heartbeat.

OTM is the best school I've attended. The classes are small and tight knit, all the instructors are very knowledgeable and active in the industry. If you are wondering if it's worth it to enrol, I would say hands down, if you are serious about voice over, just take the plunge.

I cannot express in this review all of the countless positive aspects of the experience. It is a small school with a smart and caring staff and faculty that were attentive to all aspects of my education. I came out of the program with confidence in my performance ability and the know-how to get into and navigate the industry. 

“At OTM, I learned everything I need to know to start this career. I learned things I didn’t even know I NEEDED to learn, and I could not have accomplished this on my own.”

This school is incredible. I have studied at several universities and colleges, and never have I been in a program with so many experienced and caring instructors.

“It was a life changing experience and I learned so much; from my teachers, from my classmates and from myself. The teachers were amazing and it was really inspiring to learn from people who are actively working in VO and really know the industry.”

From day one, you feel like part of a community that genuinely cares about your progress. The small class sizes mean you get a lot of personal feedback, and the instructors are always happy to offer extra help when needed.
