I absolutely LOVE this app. The video archives have been my Jiminy Cricket Pick Me Up when I need it.

What an amazing learning app for voice actors. The information is well explained. The app is easy to navigate. Great information from an amazing coach. What I love is it's not just for beginners. There are great reminders, hints and suggestions for all levels. Incredible opportunity to learn from an incredible talent.
VO Life Coach helped me understand the holistic approach needed to be successful in VO. Everything from mindset, goal setting, and mic technique led me to a breakout year.
The app & its plans combine the best aspects of working with Rider, at a significantly lower cost than doing individual coaching sessions. He combines performance coaching with on-the-ground strategies and advice on getting work, retaining clients, and growing your business.
It's like having a notable talent and coach in your pocket. If you get stuck on something, the answer is likely in the app. And if it isn't, Rider will answer you in a timely fashion. You will get as much VALUE as you want out of this app.
If you're not sure whether or not to sign up on Rider's app, let me just tell you that it will change your approach in each audition you perform...for the better!!!! Although I'm “acting” I'm putting more of myself into each audition. It feels almost effortless now. Something truly clicked in my brain.
The app puts the coach at the tap of a finger and has really helped me zone in and work on the focus and drive needed, without worrying about my need for validation. Groups and 1 on 1’s are great, but now I can go back to the app and have Rider drill into my head the steps I need to be successful ON DEMAND!
This app gives you both a coach in your corner and a coach in your pocket. The portability means you can still have VO coaching while you’re walking the dog, waiting for an appointment or cooking dinner and having the app means you can go back to each module as many times as you want or need!
Rider’s direct, actionable tips cut through the BS and get you moving in the right direction. Having that level of insight and support in your pocket is invaluable.
The app keeps this dog motivated. For me, honestly, it's the Bald Guy telling me it's ok, just pick yourself up and start again. For the new peeps, It cuts through the bullshit and gets you ready to compete from a great guy at the top of his game!
This app provides a resourceful, organized, and easy way to access lessons for practice and to get quick answers to common questions plus have DIRECT ACCESS to your coach in a way that feels more personal than anything else. Make the jump, commit and get your piece.
With a jam-packed schedule, having snackable bits of Rider in your pocket is invaluable. A great complement to training or all on its own to educate, enlighten and motivate you on your own VO journey with someone who has made it.
Mannnn, I'm already feeling a big difference in my reads and especially how I approach them thanks to your direction. Being able to break them down and infuse them with different energies and thoughts is especially cool. Loving your teachings! YOU ROCK my man, proud to be working with you.
I have but one thing to say about the app so far.... WOW WOW WOW WOW. I learned more during the first third of the first workout than I did in all of my prior coaching and workshops combined. You do far more than anyone I have coached with. It is not just about the reads, it is about, well, everything. I am on the monthly now. But at renewal time I will go to quarterly and possibly at the VIP level.
I was chatting with a friend about Coaching and she told me she was 'turned off' by ego… I told her (like I tell everyone): this app is run by someone who DESERVES whatever 'ego' you might see!! He's THAT GOOD!! He just doesn't pull any punches! He hits you with Truths that you know you knew; you just needed it hammered into your noggin! If you're looking to make it ANYWHERE in this business of Voiceover, this App and this Coach is what you're going to need!!
This app is blowing my mind. It's so much more than I expected. The Audition Drive-by is so amazing, because I get to watch Rider audition, and learn so much from him. The Script Workouts are incredible to watch because you are seeing how this Pro does it. To have so many hours with Rider and to see and hear his secrets and insights on VO is priceless.

Having represented Mark Rider at ACM Talent for well over a decade, my colleagues and I have had the privilege of watching his career grow into one of the most respected in the voiceover industry, from major movie trailers and network promos to national commercial campaigns.
What really makes Rider special, though, is his passion for helping others succeed. Whether you're just starting out or already working professionally, his VO Life Coach app offers real-world guidance from someone who has truly built a career at the highest level. This isn't generic social media advice, it's practical insight, strategy, and coaching from someone who actually does it.

And what happened next
These are not opinions, these are results. Bookings, agents, national campaigns, and a demo that got three yes’s out of four agencies.
On coaching
VO Life Coach was the Life Preserver I was looking for. After one session, Rider had me beating my own worst enemy, myself. I haven’t been so inspired to level up my game in years and, with Rider on my team, I’m ready, I’m fearless, feelin’ like a badass!
Rider has opened up how I perform my copy, not just read it. He is great at bringing out the connection between emotion and voice. I’m glad he’s my voiceover sherpa.
Coaching with Rider is like freaking surfing with a warmhearted drill sargeant ninja!
I knew you were the one to go to! You made more sense to me than 90% of all the other coaches I’ve worked with...and we didn’t even read a script!
Rider is a straight-out/no BS type of coach that you need on your team. He takes the time to get to know you and formulates a plan that specifically helps you take your career to the next level.
Rider will give it to you straight and his strategies are smart, to the point and no sugar coating. I know personally he’s the exact person I need to work with to get me to the next level.
In 20 years nobody has ever explained reading copy to me like Rider has.
Wow. We all know Rider’s skill as a voice actor, but his skills as a coach are equally matched! He helped me peel away layers that hold me back and his guidance is only going to make me better. Thank you!
What a great session! I appreciate your realness, loved your mission minded-ness, focus & for the action steps. All great stuff!
You see what I don’t see...and when you then tell me what I missed I can then SEE IT!
My first session with Rider was excellent! He has the industry knowledge to help separate you from the pack and gives concrete direction. Excited to keep working together.
I want to thank Mark Rider for his coaching, guidance, and friendship. He’s been instrumental in helping me navigate the waters lately and none of this would have happened without his help & patience. It really does matter who you coach with!
In only 3 lessons I feel like I’m so much better! And your enthusiasm is infectious.
THANK YOU for the INCREDIBLE workshop Mark Rider!!! It was 1000% worth EVERY penny and WAY more!! I STILL can’t believe how much insight I walked away with!
It needs to be said that you gave me THE most inspirational & mind blowing 3 hours of my life last night. Amazing, animating, astonishing, awe-inspiring & awesome and all the A+ things that I can not think of on 1 cup of coffee. Incredible.
That was absolutely the best session I have had thus far in my career.
It was an awesome class. Probably the BEST commercial class I have taken thus far.
No other coach has given me permission to do what Rider is teaching me to do!
It was 120 minutes of adrenaline and out that fire-in-the-belly feeling.
Damn dude, I am already loving your coaching style. I have already made some serious changes. You rock Rider!
Hey Rider, the whole lesson is amazing, but especially the script by Ziply, where I am talking to my future self and my present self. It completely illustrates what you are trying to teach us with opposites. During the lessons, you asked a couple of times, “Is it gelling for you? Are u getting it? I hope so.” My answer is yes, I’m understanding what you are teaching very clearly, and I am getting better with each practice read that we are doing. The Coaching app is working. I’m learning so much. This is a great way to learn. Plus, you are hilarious, which the laughs keep me interested, because these are long lessons.
