Jean! Thanks for sharing your experience and your wealth of talent. You made
every class fun, challenging and informative. And compared to other courses,
yours is the best deal for the money. I'm so glad I took your course and am
looking forward to coming back for more. You're the Greatest!! Dave Rader,
Bass Player and future VO talent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This course truly lives up to its name. Without Jean, I would never have
found all the nutty characters that live in my larynx. Yes, she will
challenge you, but never make you feel insecure. I thoroughly enjoyed
myself, met a lot of cool, hilarious people and came away with
professionally produced piece of work. A very creative, rewarding
experience. Carolyn Cull
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You really know your stuff Girlfriend!! I wouldn't hesitate to do it all
over again. It was a GREAT experience and an absolute joy to have been
apart of it. Your knowledge of the voice over business is vast, and you were
so gracious to share so much of your "know how" with us. Thank you so much
for really caring about this business and coaching us in the right
direction! Kathy Boyd
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jean Zarzour is the coolest thing since ice cubes! She made me feel like
her best friend the minute I walked in the door which really helped me to
feel comfortable enough to explore what my voice could do. I have been
waiting a long time to talk with someone who has this much insight into the
business. Kristina Rivera
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve done lots of television and film work, and even some voice over; but
the world of voice over is so specialized, that, in spite of working with
other voice over coaches, I never felt like I was ‘ready’ to do my own
demo. After just a few hours with Jean it all fell into place! I would not
hesitate to use Jean for special projects as well as to continue to keep my
newly found skills in tune, and I highly recommend Jean’s classes for
beginner through experienced actors! Linda Castro (award winning actress
with co-staring roles on ER, The Shield, Cold Case, Philly, Silk Stalkings
and Veronica Mars)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been wanting a better audio demo for years. Jean Zarzour's expert
advice and coaching have been invaluable in helping me to create one.
Thanks, Jean. Pete Ferry

The minute you meet Jean, you get your first lesson in self-confidence. She
has a great gift for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of each student,
addressing the concerns, questions and specific goals of each individual.
Her friendly and relaxed approach coupled with her passion for what she does
makes for a juicy environment for creative challenge and growth. Highly
recommended for people at any stage of their voiceover career. Anne McEvoy

The 8 weeks just flew and I couldn't believe how much work was covered in
that time. It was such a great experience! You truly do help us to "find
our voice"! The trip to The Reel Thing was awesome! Jimmy and Jean make
such a great team! Thanks again for a great experience! Thanks again!
Cathy Nadolski

This work is far harder than anyone has a clue about. You've been so honest
about what it really takes, Jean. Hard work. Much like any other area of
acting. How great to walk out with a completed CD! It's been an outstanding
experience! Beverly
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After just two voice over classes with Jean Zarzour, I was so inspired! You
really get a sense of her knowledge and experience in the field. Jimmy at
The Reel Thing took the time with each of us to make our demos top notch.
Working with such professionalism elevates us. You ROCK, Sista! Sharon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just hope you will have more classes in the future--you have so much to
share & I want to learn it ALL!!!! Recording at The Reel Thing was
fantastic -- what a unique opportunity to record our work at a professional
sound studio! Ellen
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was amazing to put our skills to the test in the "real world" setting of
a professional studio, and to hear the final results! Jimmy was great to
work with. He was professional and personable, and he gave very helpful
feedback. Nicole
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll come out sounding just as professional as you can be. Recording at
The Reel Thing is the perfect end to the class because it shows us that all
of our hard work has paid off. You come away with a very professional radio
spot. Laurel Johnson
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whether you're just beginning or, like me, need to have the rust polished
off your skills, Jean can take you from printed page to a ready for prime
time MP3 demo. Marje Rody

start."
>From Play House Sq. Center
"Thank you for making the Extreme Festival an incredible weekend. When I
saw you working with the kids, encouraging them with high expectations, I
knew you had the talent for both putting the show together and making the
kids happy. Although other people could have pulled the weekend off, your
personality and interaction with the kids really made a difference. I can't
wait to work with you again! Thanks again and welcome as one of our favorite
new teaching artists at Playhouse Sq.!!" Ray Gargano, Education Outreach
Manager, Playhouse Square Center

Television Acting. She is always prepared and her lesson plans are set well
in advance. Jean is especially adept at the ability to read a student,
assess his or her needs and meet those needs. The students love her. Her
personality works well with kids of all ages, even the old kids like me! I
can whole heartedly recommend Jean Zarzour as a teacher." Meg
Chamberlain, Director of Theater Education 1996-2006
