Working with Brent is the best decision I have made in my voiceover career. Brent has a knack for getting to the root of any obstacles in the way of your best performance and he has the solutions to overcome those issues. He really brought me out of my shell and inspired me to embrace the goofball that lives in me! I always look forward to sessions with Brent as I know I’m going to learn something new and gain more tools and confidence.

If you’re looking for an experienced, talented coach who provides real world advice with a fun and inspirational approach, look no further than Brent. Plus, he produced my most killer demo!

The knowledge and experience of Brent at Ukee Sound shows itself in the music that we've collaborated on together. Brent helps to bring out the best sound that I can possibly have, all while guiding and sharing the tricks of the trade. It isn't just a recording studio, it's a full service music collaboration system. Looking forward to working on more tracks with Ukee Sound.

I can’t recommend Ukee Sound enough! I had such a great time recording with Brent. He made me feel so at home while recording and was so encouraging and kind and open to all my ideas. He is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in guiding me in the next steps on my project, and the studio is so beautiful in the heart of the rainforest. I really valued my time spent in the studio and finally getting my vision come to life has been incredibly exciting!

I've tried other well-known VO training programs offered locally and they do not compare with the one-on-one coaching provided by Brent.  His methods of making each point simple, digestible, and relatable to you personally, makes him a great teacher.  It is without hesitation that I would highly recommend Brent to anyone looking to start a VO career, and or further enhance their craft.

'Working with Halfyard Studios has been an essential first step into the world of Voice Over! Brent’s professionalism, knowledge of the industry, and love of the craft is unparalleled by any instructor I have worked with. He cares for his student’s, and their success, and it truly shows in the quality of the demos. Will definitely be a lifetime student!

"I couldn't be happier with the experience and demo that followed. The wealth of knowledge Brent left me to unpack is incredible. Tricks and tips every voice professional should have in their tool kit. Brent has helped me step into this cut-throat business with confidence and style. Thanks again, Brent."

"Brent is a focused, constructively critical and extremely supportive and kind mentor. Being able to get both positive and negative feedback about specifics of my performance from him ensured that we got to address issues with my performance quickly and make the most of each session. He was able to give me a good time estimate for how long it would take us to complete training and my animation demo, which I couldn’t be more happy with.

 

Brent was able to help me not only come out of my shell more, but also helped me tackle the more practical aspects of voice over. I am so grateful that I’ve had a chance to work with him and start my journey as a voice actor. His advice and insight have been invaluable. I look forward to working with him again in the future".

"It was a pleasure to work with Brent on creating my very first commercial demo. He was a fantastic resource throughout the whole process from helping to hand pick scripts that showcased my unique voice to recording and reworking spots to make sure I got the best performance. I will continue to work with Brent on auditions and developing my voice. Thanks again!"

Brent was amazing! I went in with little experience, and came out with a strong New York accent. Brent is a very supportive teacher, and I always wanted to come back.

Thank you, Brent Halfyard!

​

Our son Aiden came to Brent with a voiceover narration under his belt, but no other training. We wanted him to get a demo done, but weren’t sure how to train him best to get him prepared for all types of voice work. We were incredibly impressed with Brent’s professionalism, his demeanour with our son ( both pushing him out of his comfort zone and encouraging his progress) and the way he put together a comprehensive coaching plan. We also appreciated the excellent studio that Brent has, to give him the best quality of audio possible ( and a comfortable place for parents to wait!) Aiden was definitely pushed to learn new skills, and had an incredible amount of fun doing it.  The end result was a fantastic demo! We will definitely  be back for future coaching and taped auditions!

"Brent is just an AMAZING teacher and mentor. He took our 11 years old son to a new level of skills and knowledge in acting and voice over. After just a few sessions our son booked a 26 episodes lead role in a PBS show . This couldn’t be done without Brent’s support and mentorship. We are so blessed to know him. Thank you Brent for your professionalism and dedication. Your attitude and confidence is just what our child needs in order to succeed in life."

“I have used Halfyard Productions for many years. Their creative services have provided my clients with “top shelf” awareness. Production quality has given us the best bang for our advertising buck. Working with Halfyard Productions is a creative bonus in itself. Be it a music gig, contest or tournament, their creative ingenuity and personalities are there in every project. They’ll even go out of their way to make sure every script and sound meets or exceeds your expectations. Anyone who takes that extra care to help you succeed is someone worth sticking with. I will continue to use them and would certainly recommend to anyone to get on board.”

"I have had the pleasure of working with Halfyard Productions for the past 7 years as an Account Executive for CFNR Radio Network. I work with many clients from small business owners with very little marketing experience, to large corporate companies with specialized marketing departments. Working with such a variety of clients, I have complete peace of mind with Brent’s expertise and attention to detail, from the creative concept, writing, to choosing the right VO to flawless production. I can trust that my client’s needs are being met to the highest standards.

For myself personally, last year I hit record breaking sales over the 26-year history of the Radio Network. Halfyard Productions has played a critical role in my success!"
