SKILL. INTEGRITY. EMPATHY. WE TRAIN FOR ALL THREE.
The Paiva Institute was founded by veteran casting and voice director Kristin Paiva to reimagine how talent is trained, mentored, and empowered in the voiceover and animation industry.
​
This is more than education - it’s a launchpad.
​
Through intimate, high-impact programs, the Institute cultivates creativity, professionalism, and purpose in the next generation of casting professionals, directors, and voice artists.
​
-
Voice Forge is a free mentorship program offered to underrepresented talent.
-
Casting Collective and Directors Lab are paid, professional-level programs with limited enrollment, built for creatives who are ready to step into leadership.
Our mission is to uplift underrepresented voices and empower the next generation of casting and voice directors to guide with skill, integrity, and empathy — building a more inclusive industry, one story, one student, one session at a time.
