The absolute best in the business…
I’ve always heard that Chuck Duran was the absolute best in the business, and now I know why! Not only did he work with me on my demo (which I love), but he really helped guide me in matters of the business and how to set me up for success.
Working with him has helped me feel prepared and confident AND I got an agent right away! I’m pretty sure it was a combination of the demo and just hearing he produced it! I feel like everyone in the business understands you’re in good hands with Chuck and I whole-heartedly agree. I would recommend working with Chuck Duran to anyone.

Thank you for all the love and effort you and Stacey put in to sharing your wisdom…
Hey Chuck, Hope all is well! I would just like to say THANK YOU! For years I've worked at building my voice over business, and tonight I accomplished a major goal: I recorded for Disney Pictures from my home studio!
As a stay-at-home mom, living in Virginia, the only access I had to VO training was through VO Buzz Weekly. I watched your show religiously and reached out to many of your guests. Thanks to your show, I trained with Jodi Gottlieb, did my commercial and promo demos and marketing with you, got pocketed by DPN Talent and Jason Marks Talent Management, and now I'm living my dream! Thank you for all the love and effort you and Stacey put in to sharing your wisdom, it's meant the world to me!

He helped me build a VO marketing strategy
Chuck Duran didn’t just create my voiceover demos, he helped me build a VO marketing strategy. Chuck worked with me on everything from performance to branding, making sure I was speaking to just the right audience in my demos. After a great 2 plus hour pre-production meeting, we cranked out a few reels that really did ROCK. Less than a week after he sent them out to agents I was signed by a top agency in LA which was my goal.
Chuck has his fingers on the pulse of this industry, and he’ll make sure that your demos are right for YOU and you'll end up with a tool that will help you get to where you’re trying to go. Chuck rocks!

[Chuck] is a gifted, creative and patient director who helps you deliver your very best read.
When I moved to LA, I asked around for recommendations for demo producers. Everyone told me, "Beware of those $700 demos that someone records for you in their "bedroom closet home studio." It'll end up costing you way more money to fix it before an agent will give you the time of day. Don't waste your time and money, just call Chuck Duran. He is the best demo producer in the business."
I still did my due diligence and called a few other people but they did not impress me at all. I knew the first time I talked with Chuck on the phone, he was the one!
What makes him so great? Chuck takes the time in the initial meeting to get to know you and your personality. He chooses material that is current, cutting edge and custom tailored for you.
He is incredibly professional and personable and makes your recording session fun. His follow-up is truly exceptional. Chuck guides you through the entire process of submitting to agents, and his advice and tips absolutely work.
With his help, I submitted to the best agents and got several meetings. Every agent I met with said my demo was produced perfectly, really showcased my vocal abilities and was exactly what they wanted to hear. I signed with a top VO agency, and starting getting work right away.
This year alone, I have booked fifteen McDonald's commercials. Woohoo!!! I think the things that impress me the most about Chuck are that he's a gifted, creative and patient director who helps you deliver your very best read.
He also produces hundreds of real commercials and knows the business inside and out. I have Chuck Duran to thank for helping me get started in the voiceover business, he is a gem.

Your honesty, your demeanor, and your knowledge of the industry showed far above all the other Voiceover demo producers I had called.
Hi Chuck, I have to express my gratitude for the work you did with me on my demo. Your personal attention and dedication was unending. I had specific goals and reasons for recording with you.From the first day we spoke, your honesty, your demeanor, and your knowledge of the industry showed far above all the other Voiceover demo producers I had called. With you I felt that you didn't just want to make a demo for the money, but that you wanted to make a demo that would represent your business and your success as well.
We were able to record a demo that I was proud of and that really got some attention. And thanks to your encouragement and you're amazing work, I signed with a top V.O. agency today! That's what a "ROCKIN' DEMO" is supposed to do!
Thanks Chuck!
