An Earnest Beginning
Founded in 2013 on the heels of his marriage, Michael Montes started his first voice over script practice sessions on Google Hangouts hoping to find a few like minded colleagues he could practice his script deliveries with. Short sessions gradually grew from 30-minutes to 2-hours as more voice actors found his workouts through Google, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Towards the end of the year, the VO Hangout was picked up by VAU Networks and went through a brief life as the "The VAU Mic Check" before going independent again as The Mic Check. As the years passed, The Mic Check went from Google Hangouts to Zoom and then finally landing on Discord where the community has grown beyond script practice.
Now officially branded as TMC VO Workout, the practice session is structured in 3 parts: Cold Reads, Script Analysis, and Directed Reads and streamed live on Twitch with a growing video library on YouTube of past sessions.
