I love what I do and it brings me great joy to share what I’ve learned over 40+ years to help other actors find their authentic voice and learn how to use it to their full potential. Through one-on-one coaching, I help my students be in the moment, use their imaginations, play and find honest expression. I teach them to use their whole instrument and loosen up with improvisation. I guide my students every step of the way - from developing and exploring their unique instruments to setting up their home studios, producing their demo, finding representation and entering the professional world of VO. Often students reach out when an important audition or callback comes up or if they're just feeling stuck and want an extra set of trusted ears. I am always happy to make time and offer support.

I've been a professional performer since the ripe old age of six. I’ve appeared Off-Broadway, in leading roles at many regional theaters and in a national tour. I have voiced national TV and radio commercials, cartoons, animated films, audiobooks, promos, corporate narrations and (fun fact) I’m the voice of Walt Disney World’s Fun Bus and Skyliner. I have extensive experience as a looper and have worked on hundreds of movies and TV shows in English and Russian. I’m known for my accents, animal sounds and voice matching abilities. Most recently I was the singing voice of Marilyn Monroe in the controversial Netflix movie, Blonde. For more about me, check out my website: vanessalemonides.com
