Everett Oliver

I first met Everett Oliver at a weekend animation workout in NYC. I am quiet and introverted by nature. For me, an event where I am in an unfamiliar place with people I don’t know with lots of sensory stimulation is very overwhelming for me. Regardless, Everett Oliver figured out how best to teach me specifically and get me to be more open or “out of my shell”. I have been training with him since.

He got me, an autistic guy with general/social anxiety who has a stutter on occasion, to travel by myself via flight for the first time in my life to Atlanta, GA for VO Atlanta 2019. In doing so I enjoyed myself so much (along with learning a lot) to the point that I will be returning in 2020!

If Everett Oliver can manage to pull this off with me, imagine what he can do for you!

This was one of the best, if not THE best animation workshops I’ve ever been to! Everett’s direction is animated, physical, and intense, and you will quickly learn the level of skill and professionalism involved in being a voice actor for animation. Not only does he direct you in the booth, he gives you a clear direction on the next steps you need to take to take your acting career to the next level. He will make you think. He will make you laugh. He will make you sweat. And you will love every minute of it.

Everett is an outstanding educator! He knows how to get his knowledge out there for you and then pull the performance he needs from you. An eye opening experience in my voice career. I will definitely seek him out for further improvement of my skills.

Thank you for an unforgettable class workshop. Your energy was limitless and unstoppable. I learned so much, got some awesome tips and was very thankful you gave me an opportunity to read.

Everett is a breath of fresh air. Being coached by him is a great experience, he’s highly intuitive, had insights about my performance and voice that I had never heard before and he gave me so many valuable tools that I’ve been using since our session. I can’t recommend him enough, he is an industry gem!

Everett – You are contagious!!! In such a good way!
You really know how to pull talent out of us. That was WAY FUN!!!! My head is still swirling!!!!! But what an experience!!! Thanks for sharing your talents everyone!

Everett is the embodiment of a magical being. He has the ability to look inside a person and see their history and their truth. I love working with him and having him involved in my journey.

Everett brings out the best in you. Whether it is for an audition or just a coaching session. You will NOT be disappointed and your performance will be noticeably improved.

Everett brings out characters within you that only he knew existed. He can tell who you are as person and uses that to bring our your natural talents and abilities. Working with Everett is a phenomenal experience that will help you up your audition and performance game!

Everett’s Oliver’s Animation Workshop was chock full of helpful pointers and what truly set it apart was the hyper-specific direction imparted to each student. Everett is deeply intuitive and he uses this gift to customize feedback, varying his techniques and intensity levels for different students at different places in their career journey. It’s a sight to behold and has already changed the way I approach my work in the recording booth and my VO career as a whole. Highly recommended!

Working with Everett has been one of the best investments I have ever made in my career. Under his mentoring I’ve seen my abilities jump to the next level making me much more competitive in my field of character voice acting. He makes me a better actor whenever I work with him and I always can’t wait to see where he takes me next.

Trust…plain and simple. Trust Everett, allow yourself to be vulnerable and he will bring out performances you didn’t know you had, and give you the tools to find where those performances live. Brilliant coach. Beautiful human. There’s no greater combination.

I had such a FAB animation VO class with Everett. He is amazing at letting you know, you really can do this! While at the same time, showing you how much you to learn. Love it.

As a voice talent, it’s always a thrill to get to work with your mentors and the talent whom you admire. As an agent, it’s even more of a thrill to be able to share those special people with the talent you represent. I had the distinct pleasure of doing both as I welcomed the inimitable Everett Oliver to Vancouver for the very first time, to teach his Animation Intensive workshop.

On behalf of those on my Division 73 voice roster in attendance this weekend, I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Everett for putting on this incredible workshop and working one-on-one with each student. Everett, I sincerely believe that each of the students you worked with has already become a better voice talent and all-around actor after benefitting from your stellar vocal coaching and sound direction. It was a real pleasure spending time with you and getting to watch you work. Thank you so much. Please come back to Vancouver anytime.

Everett – Appreciate the time you spent with each one of us. It is absolutely a highlight moment having the opportunity to take a workshop with you.On top of that the meet and greet with you was a fantastic way to feel comfortable, you are a fantastic person who is so easy to chat and work with.

Everett,

Thank you so much for leading the workshop!! It was great to get to meet you and spend the day working with you
I left with so many great notes and a much higher confidence level in regard to my reads for auditions!
It was an absolutely wonderful day and hopefully we’ll be able to work together again in the future – whether on a project or with more coaching!

Thank you so much again to you (and the ancestors!). I have a few auditions in my inbox and I feel so much more confident and excited about tackling them and bringing the character to life!!
