Richard Horvitz was one of the featured speakers at VOICE 2008, and made just a great impression on me. He's clearly one of LA's most talented and coveted acting and voice coaches…. when he's not acting himself!
Below is FaceBook press release of his latest announced schedule of classes, as presented by Michelle Ann Dunphy. Try to find a way to fit in somewhere if you can.

Hi Talented Voice Over Actors!
I am excited to announce that veteran voice over artist Richard Horvitz will be teaching weekend workshops throughout the country this year! Richard’s career as a successful voice over actor includes hit shows such as The Angry Beavers (Daggett), Invader Zim (Zim), the Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy (Billy), Ben Ten (Grey Matter) and many, many more, including award winning video games such as Psychonaughts, Ratchett & Clank, and Destroy All Humans.
In his weekend workshops, Richard will help students learn to “play pretend” and to approach their copy in a fun and more instinctive way. Richard has been teaching privately for 10 years, as well as having taught voice over for animation at Cal State Northridge. Class size is kept intimate to ensure that everyone gets adequate time at the mic.
Richard's class schedule for 2009:
Chicago – July 25th & 26
New York – September 19th & 20th
San Diego – October 10th & 11th
Dallas – November 14th & 15th
Weekend workshops will run Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with an hour for lunch each day. The total cost is $600 for both days. A non-refundable deposit of $150 is required to secure your place in class.
Spots are available on first come, first serve basis. Spots will be held for 2 weeks before receiving your deposit. If your deposit is not received within that time, your spot will be given to the next person on the list. Spots in the classes are limited, so it's best to e-mail right away.
