You know it's a very tricky situation to offer someone in this industry a helping hand without them becoming competition. However, I highly support these scholarships. I have in the past supported some other broadcast and voice over scholarships through sponsorship. Through the scholarships and lessons I believe that students will be able to discover their own niche within the voice over industry and bring their own unique gift to market.
