If you’re struggling to make it in voiceover, are confused by all of the competing tips and strategies out there, fear AI or want to find better solutions to help you succeed even more, then you’re in the right place.

Get Started

I’m Ailana Kainoa (previously Sophia Cruz) –  a seasoned voiceover actor of 17+ years, a speaker, educator and a success coach.

I created Winning in VoiceOver to help voiceover talents like you to stand out and succeed in your business by being uniquely YOU.

Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, the education offered through Winning in VoiceOver can guide you.

My mission is to teach you how to filter through the noise and find the right formula for you so you can start having big wins in your business before AI changes the landscape of the industry.

Believe it or not, there are so many ways to win in voiceover.

You can go the traditional route and book through an agent, find your groove on online casting sites (P2Ps), or go for the gold and pursue the coveted high-profile jobs that only the top 3% of voice actors actually land. The choice is yours with the right training and foundation.

You can also find lots of work on your own through your own marketing efforts and book steady radio spots, to eLearning contracts, to IVR, to corporate videos, to dubbing projects, and so much more.

The key to your success lies in three simple parts:

  1. Uncovering what makes you and your voice unique as an authentic human
  2. Defining what your vision of success looks like for you
  3. Creating your unique Action Plan that will attract voiceover jobs that align with YOU and YOUR VISION

Once you have your own unique formula, the sky's the limit! And I can show you the way.

Let’s make this the year you go from burnt out, stressed  or broke to winning in voiceover your way!

Voiceover is not a get rich quick scheme.

It takes dedication, effort, consistency and a solid plan. The good news is, the market is more open than it's ever been and most new people that start their careers are able to see success in a much shorter time frame than when I started over 17 years ago.

With AI beginning to change the landscape of the voiceover industry your window for success has shortened. However, if you are ready to start NOW, then I can help you get your business off the ground with a tailored plan.

As a successful and highly sought-after multicultural and bilingual voiceover actor who’s learned the hard way in business, I’m here to say that you do NOT need to have a General American accent, audition 40-60x per day, or take on projects with long hours and little pay to start winning in voiceover.

If you do have a General American accent, you may be struggling to find a way to stand out. The truth is so many people struggle to find the winning path for themselves because they get lost in the comparison game.
