“After being a member for 3 months and passing the beginners section, I became lost. I then found out that to get any mentoring it would cost £119 per hour!

Hi there!
Thank you for the review. I'm sorry that you ended up having a poor experience at GFTB. We absolutely don't want that for any of our customers, and your thoughts are important to us. It seems that we could have done better with our communications with you because we do have both the mentoring forum (where you can discuss any issues you may have on a daily basis) and also the Career Planner, which maps out a path for you - all of which are integrated into the membership at no extra cost.
The other thing to mention is that we do sell one-to-one mentoring sessions additionally to the membership packages, but the group mentoring sessions (approx 8 per month) are all free to you and included as part of your membership. This kind of one-to-one mentoring is an hour long, and the prices are discounted for members - and are cheaper than the standard coaching charges you will see outside of GFTB and across the industry.
I can promise you that we do everything we can to give our members as much value for money as possible which is why we are the only voiceover training company in the world who give you all 18 voiceover courses, the 20-30 webinars & mentoring sessions per month, and the 2000 hours of webinar content in the library for that one low monthly membership fee. It's not just about making money.
That said, your opinions are important to me, and I apologise again that you didn't have a good experience with our company. I hope we might see you again in the future at GFTB so we could rectify the situation with you.
All the best,
Hugh Edwards (CEO)
