>From Recent Students
“The experience of learning to become a voice-over artist can be
intimidating. My experience was exciting! The eight weeks of on-microphone
work offered not only a great “vocal work-out”, but an excellent
introduction into the world of voice-over artists. Jean’s expert guidance
and brilliant sense of humor more that prepared me for our “final exam” –
recording our “commercial spot” during a professional recording session.
Thanks for sharing Jean.” Frank E. Baker- Pittsburgh Class @ Donna

"Originally, I had signed up for Jean's voice-over class because it was
always something I had been interested in pursuing. Throughout the eight
weeks, I learned a myriad of terms and techniques that would strongly help
someone to break into this medium. Jean's high energy and expert knowledge
made class a great joy to attend. I could hardly wait till next week's
lesson!"
Rocco Marrongelli - Pittsburgh Class @ Donna Belajac Casting

"Class with Jean is a laugh! The atmosphere is such that when you are pushed
to step out of your "comfort zone", you are comfortable doing it. You
realize you have more in there, and Jean and your classmates help you find
it and bring it out. The recording session at Market Street Sound was a
great crowning moment to the class. Do I really sound like that?! Thanks
Jean and my 'burgh classmates!" Mary Ann Graziano - Pittsburgh Class @
Donna Belajac Casting

Being in Jean’s class was worth 100% of the time, money and effort I put
into it. Not only does she manage to instruct her class with the utmost
professionalism, she’s amazingly fun and talented. Before taking the Find
Your Voice - Voice Over class, I thought I really knew all I needed to know
about getting into voice over acting but after this class, I realize there
was so much that I was clueless about. I would most definitely recommend
this class to anyone. Bethany W. - Pittsburgh Class @ Donna Belajac

"Jean's class was fun and was able to make the shyest person open up. She's
a wonderful woman who knows her stuff and helps improve beginners or pros.
The recording studio is top of the line with great engineers. Find Your
Voice - Voice Over Institute is really more than I imagined it would be."
Jennifer Heilman - Pittsburgh Class @ Donna Belajac Casting

I really appreciate your enthusiasm, professionalism and heartfelt coaching.
It is amazing what you are able to get people to accomplish with a mic in
front of them. Each week built on what we had done previously, and I felt
as if I had taken positive steps with each class. You also inspired some
confidence. I especially could see that with the others in the class. Last
week’s finish left us all in a natural high. Thanks, it took me about four
hours to settle down so I could sleep!! Gary Maurer

Jean's voice over class was great! She provides a comfortable atmosphere
where you can explore and learn. Her knowledge of her craft, her ability to
bring out your best, and the interaction with your fellow students made this
class a very positive experience. Barb Dragony

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
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
