Howard soaked up his mentor's instructions and applied plenty of determination. Today, Howard has his own company and is one of the most famous voiceover artists in the world. He also is making a very good living, doing something he loves. Click here for Howard's story. Or click here for our radio broadcast students' monthly progress reports.
