I can't say enough great things about Edge Studio and your wonderfully talented people. I had the pleasure of working with Kerry Miller, Kristin Price, Eric Rath, and Bruce Bayley Johnson over the last four months to sharpen my voice-over skills. Each was inspiring in his or her own way, providing guidance, tips, and critiques that moved me to the next level. I also want to thank Jean Bianco for being so pleasant and helpful whenever I called for scheduling or with questions. Thanks!

Edge Studio's coaching staff succeeded in preparing me to produce a terrific demo. (Two demos, actually) Their feedback was constructive, informed, and candid. What's more, I found no one (Discmakers, Mixonic, etc.) who could beat their small job CD duplication and printing rates.

I took private sessions at another place, and didn’t learn as much in over a year of study as I did here in one session!

As a recent graduate of one of Edge Studio’s training courses, I now feel well equipped to continue pursuing a fulltime career as a voice-over artist. I found the studio’s staff, administrators and coaches alike, both stimulating, helpful and inspiring. I would recommend anyone wanting to build a future in the industry to sign up with them.

A few years back, I signed up for your voice-over classes at Edge Studio. Your teachings and advice enabled me to land several jobs, and, being the voice for our businesses’ radio and TV commercials gave me the experience I needed that opened the doors for me. I’m in the process of acquiring an agent because I’m sending my demo-tape to Disney in California, who had had expressed in a letter interest in my voice. I’ve got my fingers crossed because children’s books and narrations are my passion!

I just wanted to drop a quick note and let you know how much I enjoyed your class. It opened my eyes to what it takes to really break into this industry and piqued my already growing interest in it.

Alan Schwartz, Washington, DC - October, 2001

I've been meaning to give you and update. Got a second gig! And a few more on the horizon! Go into the studio this weekend. Very exciting. Thanks for sharing the tools and training.
I give praises to you and Edge Studio everywhere I go. You might be hearing from a couple of my co-workers soon.

I'll be in touch.

Valarie

Just wanted to thank you again for my demo session today... I LOVE my demo!!! You are an absolute master, knowing exactly what to say to get the best performance out of me. I hope everyone i work with is just like you... My housemates and friends are amazed and soooo impressed. Thank you so much for giving me something to be proud of.

Angel Rozetta, Washington DC - November, 2001

This is the best …most intelligently organized voice-over workshop --and affordable in NYC!!

Moniifa Maht, New York, NY - January, 2001

The tape you just produced for me hit the bulls eye! One of the first places I sent it to, a production company in Maryland, just hired me to do a series of national voice-over TV and radio spots for York Heating & Air Conditioning. Thanks for your help in making this moment possible.

Doug Eberhart, PA

It was a pleasure meeting you at the workshop on Saturday afternoon/evening- I thoroughly enjoyed it - I benefited greatly from your love and knowledge of the industry. It is not often I have attended a four hour workshop and had my concentration kept for virtually the whole time by the sheer presence of a facilitator working without visual aids, etc.

James Ogelthorpe

Since completing a voice over training course and submitting my first demo (thanks to you, Dave) to a radio station, my voice was selected as the female voice for the station. The station is redesigning its format with new voices, etc. This is technically my first major contract since venturing into this business!

Veronica

With his straightforward and honest approach, David is an effective instructor for group workshops as well as individual coaching, and can easily pinpoint one's voiceover strengths and weaknesses. He's an amazing sound engineer too - you can certainly trust your demo production to him!

Karen H

I feel very fortunate to have found Edge Studio. David and Mike are very knowledgeable, patient, and supportive teachers, and they deliver their instruction in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. They allow students to learn and progress at a comfortable pace and always strive to have them do their best. I would recommend Edge Studio highly to anyone. I can't think of anyplace else where I would have wanted to be trained...or any other studio where I'd want to continue my training.

Since taking your course and making my demo tape I have recovered my costs
and am now in the profit from the work I have obtained!

Thanks to your coaching and the great job you did on my demo CD, I got my first job this week and got paid $300 for an hour's work. What a great start to what I hope will be a continuous flow of work.

Thank you for being available to answer questions too, David. I really appreciate the time and care you give me, especially as I am just one amongst many, many people you have helped along the way.

Ann Sweeney - New York, NY

David - you have a calming personal style that makes it easy to take direction and receive criticism!

Tina Frey - New York, NY - June, 2000

David's skills are outstanding!

His coaching skills helped immensely in improving my interpretation of a script, as well as in the ultimate delivery. What I liked most was that we never rushed through a script, and didn't move on until we got it right.

David, I just want to thank you for making my demo a complete smash! It took one listen and I have an agent already and my first job! Thanks for being the best at what you do and opening up a whole new world for me.

I just wanted to let you know the demo is still making splashes! as a matter of fact, A recording studio was so impressed with me, they sent my demo to a company that is doing books on tape in Syracuse and I auditioned for the company and got the leading female in the story!!!!!! The book is the Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia Wrede and it is being published by Random House, who had to approve the director's choice of cast. I received the call today that Random house listened and enthusiastically approved of the voice actress who was doing Cimorene (my character). I was so excited!!! Thank you!

Lauren Pokroy

The demos sound fantastic! I am very pleased. You have an incredibly professional outfit. Kerry Miller is a wonderful instructor. Each moment of each training session with Kerry was packed with useful instruction and information.
I'm new to voice-over - but I've done quite a bit of acting (see resume) and I can tell you that as actors we pray for directors like Kerry: someone with a vision, a goal and a roadmap to get there!
Brad Smiley was also top-flight during the production of the demos. He had terrific suggestions, could sense when I was getting "wound-up" - and could calm my voice (and me) down with his great sense of humor. I know I wouldn't have come off near as well without both he and Kerry keeping me on track.
Again, an absolutely first-rate, professional experience!

John Hall

THANK YOU so very much!! I am so pleased with the demo - and those I've played it for so far have been blown away by the quality and professional sound! (and, yes, they like the characters too!) :) Amy Palant was - IS - amazing. She really has helped me to work, tweak, find the characters and really build this demo. Jake is extremely talented and it was great fun working with him.
David - I wanted to mention to you that I won an award for my VO work last year.. The 2007 Peer Certificate of Merit award for my longform narration work. I was the only non-union winner... And I truly thank you for the wonderful foundation you gave me several years ago. The lessons you taught me are still with me.. And that's why I also continue to train with you all. I have been so pleased with every single experience I've had with all of you at Edge - and I wanted to thank you! I'm looking forward to a continued relationship with you.

Vanessa

Had my first interview today with Tamar Wolbrom, Inc., a very small & intimate group that only does V.O. work. They really liked my demo and have offered to take me on. Many, many thanks to you again!!

Denise Kondik

Thanks to you and the Edge Studio team (especially Eric, who is a great coach) for all the training, producing, and engineering work that went into my demo. I now have it loaded up on my website...and I’m very happy with the way it sounds.
With my website and marketing materials complete (thanks to your excellent marketing foundation seminar and Paul Liberti’s marketing forum), I’m now ready to get down to business! I also enjoyed your VO from home seminar on Tuesday night. As always, you were very informative and to the point, and you answered all the questions that I came into the seminar with. I plan to continue my training through Edge Studio. The team’s professionalism is excellent, and I always learn something new.
Mike Borrusso

I've been subscribing to your service and your monthly newsletter. It is the most helpful, informative, and most importantly, relaxing newsletter I've come across. It's more like having a friend help out. A very wise friend.

David K. Schlank

I gave my tape to a friend who knows someone who works as a voice over casting director at Jumbo Pictures (have you heard of them? I think they do stuff for Disney films). Anyway, he said he loved the tape and he thought it was very professional! So your help has definitely paid off. Thank you very much!

Jessica Viscomi

Hi David,
I just got a great job narrating a multimedia presentation. I have also recently done a couple series of promos! I really appreciate your help and approach.

Diane Ligon

I took the April Edge Studio voiceover workshop in Washington, D.C. and bought the Industry Guidebook. Earlier this week, I was booked on a voiceover job for a government audio course. I reviewed a number of the principles in the guidebook before going to the job. I just want to say THANK YOU. The guidebook was very helpful. It helped me take the right approach to the job and to perform consistently. One of the producers and the talent I was working with complimented my work after we finished. It was a nice confirmation that getting involved with Edge Studios to help my career and to produce my demo was the right choice for me. I look forward to working with you and to getting that demo wrapped!

Karen Morgan, Actor

Just wanted to let you know that I've been having success from the voice over demo we produced last year. I took a seminar with you last summer and then had a few coaching sessions culminating in producing a demo.

At the time, I have to say I was wondering if I'd come close to even breaking even as far as costs go. Well, needless to say, I not only made up my expenses but have surpassed them! I now have an ongoing VO relationship with Smith Village (a furniture store), and, to name a few, have recently (just in the past month) voiced both television and radio spots for Allentown Business School, Kutztown University, Nazareth National Bank, Barracks Road Mall and Buck Home Furnishings. As a matter of fact, I have three more VO bookings for next week! Just wanted to say Thanks for your help in jump-starting my VO career!

Kelly Brennan

As you know I recorded my demos (commercial and narration) w/Mike on Saturday, June 2 at Cue Recording Studios in Falls Church, VA. HE IS FANTASTIC!! He was very professional and nice, he helped me to feel at ease right away and obviously knows what he's doing. It was a great experience which I thoroughly enjoyed. Needless to say, I will DEFINITELY use -- and recommend -- the services of Edge Studio in the future.

Thank you!
Michelle Woodson

Edge Studio has been of enormous help to me in evaluating my strengths in this current voice-over market, and in providing me the expert guidance that I needed. My demo CD was produced to the very highest standards. Edge Studio is outstanding in that it is highly professional while also maintaining the human dimension of personal connection. I don't know of a better place.

Miles Bari, NY

I really appreciate the fact that you're pulling for me. That truly means a lot.

-I'll keep you posted as to what's happening in terms of response to my emails.

Take care, Dale

I am happy to write this note David, to let you know what a positive experience working with you and your company has been.

I was concerned before that first seminar started at the Governors House Hotel that I would be sold a package which might not have anything to do with whether I had what it takes to make it as a voice over artist. Boy, was I dissuaded of that notion quickly - it was clear that your skilled observations and assessment were honest. I would know by the end of that session whether I "had it" and work from there, or whether I should "bag it."
You made it clear from the start that I had to work hard to correct my chronic, if not terminal, overacting. Your patience and calm corrections while I repeated phrases endlessly is amazing. Over and over and over and then.... sometimes.....always if I work for it.......I got it! I can actually hear myself do it differently! Clearly, you understand what it takes to make a word sing.
The coaching sessions, which I listen to often, have helped me in other areas as well. I fancy myself an actor. During an audition last month I could hear you admonish my hammy side to cool it. It worked! I got the part I wanted and now I know how to bring a new subtlety to my roles.

I could go on. I think I will. I think the Industry GuideBook is of great value to the field. I hope you have gotten a lot of recognition for its contribution. I have used many acting texts find them unwieldy. The Guide is full of great tips, that are right there.

The practical information about what it is like "out there" has lessened the fear and smoothed the way. While studying it, and I do STUDY it. It's easy to think "Boy, this guy really knows what he's talking about." All of a sudden its not such a mysterious, unreachable realm. I sincerely think you have created an invaluable, well researched and RIGHT TO THE POINT service. Thanks David!

Mitch Hanks

David is the guy you want if you want an honest appraisal of your abilities, practical help in improving your skills and the real deal on this business.

Reginald Metcalf

Thanks a bunch for the "Intensive-1 Workshop." Prior to attending the workshop I had read several voice over books including "Word of Mouth" and "There's Money Where Your Mouth Is." And although these book were very informative, I honestly feel I learned more in your 4 hour workshop than all the books combined.

M. Scott Wood

I got into the business with Edge Studios. They conducted the advanced workshop and recorded my first demo (and my second, and soon my third!), and I have used them ever since. David Goldberg, the instructor and sound engineer, is a perfectionist about voice and sound, and he really knows the business! And since he doesn't do voices himself, he's not in competition with you! I have found them to be professional, very reasonably priced, a terrific value, and extremely valuable resources. The email newsletter is superb! And they are on hand to answer questions and give advice, too. I have taken several workshops with them, and always felt 'stuffed full' of marketing, which is the key to getting work!

I cannot say enough about David's work. He is a real perfectionist, with that wonderful ear which hears everything. And he knows what's happening in the industry. The studio also offers a terrific email newsletter. He has always had great advice when I needed it.

I am getting jobs with the demos that David did for me! I've done three voices for Discovery Channel, two for Learning Channel, one for a documentary about Lorton Prison, and an entire instructional video for a spa product.

Pamela Johnston

I would again like to thank you David for an exceptional tape. It is amazing how great you made me sound! I am also happy to report that my new tape will actually include real spots from some of the commercials I booked and recorded over the past 3 weeks which include Pepsi, Dominoes, Techies.com, Duncan Donuts, Quizno's, McDonalds, Trident, Zantac, Lucent (and this is not all of them). Again thanks alot David and I continue to recommend your services to everyone who asks me about demo tapes.

David Dettore - New York, NY

Hey, David -
Just wanted to let you know I've got my first job tomorrow afternoon. It's a commercial for a restaurant in Jersey that's supposed to air on a local cable outlet. $300 for a 30-second spot. I'm psyched (a little nervous, too!).

Anyway, can I ask them for a copy of the finished product? Should I bring a blank CD or DAT?

Thanks. Kevin
