Ian James Corlett.
30+ Years at the Top.
Ian James Corlett is the voice of Goku (Dragon Ball Z) — and one of animation's most decorated veterans, also the voice behind Cheetor (Beast Wars), Mr. Fantastic (Fantastic Four), Mega Man, and over 575 characters across 30+ years. His work has reached more than 600 million listeners worldwide, across 500+ animated productions.
For 30+ years, this calibre of professional voice direction existed exclusively behind closed doors, locked inside SAG-AFTRA union sets and the halls of elite performing arts schools like Tisch School of the Arts. If you weren't a card-carrying union member or enrolled at a prestigious conservatory, it simply wasn't available to you.
VS werks is the first time this level of professional direction has been publicly available. No union card, no conservatory, no gatekeeping.
Not a course. Not a community. One director, one-on-one, focused entirely on your performance. Whether you're breaking in or pushing your range further, Ian meets you exactly where the work is.

Getting animation notes from the voice behind so many characters I grew up with was surreal, and it reshaped how I approach character, intention, and performance.
Ian's coaching pushed me past tricks into true performance, giving me clarity and control I now rely on in every audition.
Ian's direction changed the way I approach every character. His notes are specific, honest, and they actually stick. I booked my first animation role two months after our sessions.
I've taken a lot of voice acting courses. None of them came close to what one session with Ian delivered. He spotted exactly what was holding me back and told me precisely how to fix it.
Working with Ian was completely different from anything I'd experienced. The feedback was direct, surgical, and built entirely around what my voice actually does. Worth every penny.
I was skeptical about coaching this way but Ian proved me wrong immediately. He understood my voice from the first submission and the notes he gave me were game-changing. My auditions are stronger now.
The FOUNDATIONS package gave me a genuine arc — I could feel my range developing session by session. Ian's coaching is the real thing. Not a course. Actual professional direction.
Ian directed me like a pro from day one. He doesn't pad his notes — he tells you the truth, and the truth makes you better. I finally sound like the character I always knew was in there.
