I'm Brent Halfyard, aka Uncle Brent, co-owner of Halfyard Studios / Ukee Sound, a 50% Indigenous owned production company. My nephew encouraged me to choose a course name that fits my quirky personality, and so... Uncle Brent Teaches Voiceover was born!
While I may not have any industry awards (yet), what I do have is over 20 years working in the competitive Voice Over industry and over (150) corporate clients, who continue to trust in the quality of my work I can deliver to utilize in their TV and radio commercials, advertisements and productions.​​
My promise: I will teach and share with you everything I know in a fun professional way and provide a roadmap to guide you through the ins and outs of the VO business to help turn your passion into a career!
My youngest student was 6, my oldest was 80. I’ve helped students get agents and land roles, I’ve worked with corporations, CEOs and employees to record their own ads and improve their speaking skills.​​​
