I absolutely LOVE this app. The video archives have been my Jiminy Cricket Pick Me Up when I need it.
Brigid RealeVoice actor
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.
Bev StandingVoice actor
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.
Smack LouisVoice actor
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.
Bill MarshVoice actor
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.
Kathleen PowellVoice actor
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!
Robert EverettVoice actor
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!
Bonnie BurtonVoice actor
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.
Will VincentVoice actor
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!
Robert RhodesVoice actor
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.
Julio LeonVoice actor
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.
Dan MulcaheyVoice actor
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.
Sky SoleilShared with Rider
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.
Collin HughesShared with Rider
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!!
MJHolcombeApple App Store review
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!
    Nicole BrittonCoaching client
    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.
    Bill LarsonCoaching client
    Coaching with Rider is like freaking surfing with a warmhearted drill sargeant ninja!
    Charlie ToroCoaching client
    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!
    Dan LevyCoaching client
    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.
    Trisha LynnCoaching client
    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.
    Doug Bartling Jr.Coaching client
    In 20 years nobody has ever explained reading copy to me like Rider has.
    Brett ChristoCoaching client
    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!
    Tony JacksonCoaching client
    What a great session! I appreciate your realness, loved your mission minded-ness, focus & for the action steps. All great stuff!
    Randy ScottCoaching client
    You see what I don’t see...and when you then tell me what I missed I can then SEE IT!
    Robert RhodesCoaching client
    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.
    Ben SperlingCoaching client
    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!
    Jeff WilliamsCoaching client
    In only 3 lessons I feel like I’m so much better! And your enthusiasm is infectious.
    Jack HicksCoaching client
    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!
    Mike ShaefferCoaching client
    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.
    Charlie AlbersCoaching client
    That was absolutely the best session I have had thus far in my career.
    Bruce NixCoaching client
    It was an awesome class. Probably the BEST commercial class I have taken thus far.
    Joshua SterlingCoaching client
    No other coach has given me permission to do what Rider is teaching me to do!
    A client of Rider’sCoaching client
    It was 120 minutes of adrenaline and out that fire-in-the-belly feeling.
    Patricia CorkumCoaching client
    Damn dude, I am already loving your coaching style. I have already made some serious changes. You rock Rider!
    Jim PilotCoaching client
    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.
