Stephane Cornicard
International Voice Talent, Director
and Mentor
Why work with me ?
Because I'm a working professional.
Mentoring and coaching represents a small but significant part of my career. I am first and foremost a busy Voice Talent and Director, but being a working voice actor myself means I know the business inside and out, and how to navigate its pitfalls.
I limit the number of students I have at any one time. I enjoy coaching and mentoring, because it feels good to help people be the best they can be, to impart knowledge and advice.
If I think you are not ready for me, I'll tell you honestly.
