Want your podcast ads to stand out?

That’s why I created Better Podcast Ad Reads, a 4-session 1-on-1 course to help you craft ad reads that feel natural and true to your podcast’s style. Together, we’ll work on making your ads conversational and relatable while still delivering results for you and your sponsors.


Whether you’re promoting your own show or reading for others, you’ll get the skills you need and gain the confidence to make your ads stand out. If you’re ready to turn your ad reads into something your audience will love, let’s get started!

Session 2

Using Improv to Enhance Your Ad Reads

Improvisation can elevate your ad reads into authentic, engaging moments that seamlessly blend into your podcast. Improv isn’t just for comedians—it’s a valuable tool for podcasters to infuse energy, personality, and spontaneity into ad scripts, creating a deeper connection with their audience. Learn how to handle unexpected shifts with ease, and gain a toolkit of techniques to keep your ad reads fresh, dynamic, and true to your tone.

Session 3

Delivering Pre-Produced Host-Read Ads with Confidence

Focus on mastering pre-produced host-read ads, one of the most versatile and effective types of podcast advertising. Learn how to maintain a conversational tone even in a pre-recorded format, ensuring your ads feel authentic and engaging rather than rehearsed or stiff. We’ll work on blending your natural personality and voice into the script, making the ad feel like a personal endorsement rather than a sales pitch. Give your sponsors a great sounding ad - sound your best!

Foundations of Authentic Ad Reads

Kick things off with an exploration into why natural, conversational ad reads are crucial for maintaining audience engagement and trust.

Learn to spot common mistakes, like overly formal delivery or disruptive transitions, and discover how to align your ad reads with your podcast’s unique tone. Gain a foundation of tools to help you start voicing ad reads that feel natural, engaging, and seamlessly integrated into your podcast episodes.

People working with Anne

Trust Anne's process

Three words: Trust Anne's process. I fully admit, I came in skeptical about undergoing coaching as part of the demo prep, but I am so, so glad I got over myself and went for it. With Anne and her process, you get a full-on personal clinic leading up to recording your demo - which is exactly the way it ought to be done. In the end, you come away a stronger talent, with a world-beating demo to prove it. And that's what truly separates Anne: she's not there just to record you, send your work to production, take your money and call it a day - it's hands-on. It's personal. It's tailored to you, and you alone. There's nothing worse than cutting a demo, listening back after you've finished... and realizing you sound just like everyone else out there. Anne works with you in-depth to develop a truly outstanding, one-of-a-kind calling card for your brand, and it's worth every last penny.

Being coached by Anne is what I needed

Being coached by Anne is what I needed to finally gain true confidence to self-direct myself when recording for Corporate Elearning projects. I appreciated her style of constructive feedback, I enjoyed learning from her, and I'm grateful for how she helped me sort through my challenges. Even though there were times I felt defeated during our sessions (due to my ADHD brain, I'm my worst critic and can get impatient with myself), Anne understood me, was patient, and would pull me back up with encouragement and support. As for my demo, I love it! When I listen to it, I feel really proud with what we created together, behind the scenes and on recording day. I would definitely work with Anne again.

Life changing and work changing

I am profoundly grateful for the time I am currently spending studying voiceover technique with the wonderful Anne Ganguzza. It is life changing and work-changing. She challenges me with difficult material and helps me hone in on my true voice. People ask me all the time, “how do I get into voice over?” I always tell them that it’s not as easy as it seems. It’s a big investment in terms of time and money. To be as good as you can be, you have to learn to know yourself, and you have to learn how to really read and interpret a script. You also have to have a sense of humor and give yourself a break. Much like with jazz singing (my other big passion), it’s not really about having a nice-sounding voice. Not to mention, you have to learn all of the *other* things about running a business. Voice over is very competitive, but having a great coach is one of the best investments I have ever made! And I’m not done yet! Thank you, Anne.

Fantastic on a personal and professional level

I would like to extend my sincere thanks for Twitter contest and allowing me to take your X-session. You showed how passionate you are about your subject matter by spending so much time with us and providing us much needed information to push our businesses to the next level! It was so informative and detailed–I will take my time to study your class info and apply it to my social media sources. You’re fantastic on a personal and professional level, and I can’t wait to meet up again.

A creative producer, an artist, a coach who works with you

In Anne, I found the perfect gem. A creative producer, an artist, a coach who works with you, the material at hand. She sees depth beyond the veneer, is able to unearth the nuances of your talents and skills to discover the new, and the best in you. She attunes to your unique sound. In her demo creation, you shine in all the right places, just being you. Thank you Anne for an extraordinary experience.
