*Testimonials From Recent Students*
**
*NEW "Jean Zarzour's Voice-Over Class has been, by far, the best class
setting I have ever experienced! **The class was just as much fun as it was
challenging! And believe me, being stretched beyond my comfort zone was
challenging.* Jean was the perfect instructor, coach and motivator. She
utilized all of her skills and voice-over repertoire to guide my "nice voice
with potential" much closer toward becoming a* "multi-dimensional,
multi-character voice with potential!"* *Jean taught me that the other key
component to becoming a successful voice-over actor was not just the voice;
it was developing....Hey, want to know that other key component? TAKE THE
CLASS!! **You may see me there. I definitely want to add another level to my
training. **Kudos to George Sipl of George A. Sipl Productions for the high
level of professionalism and expertise in the making of our class demo."*

*NEW "Jean Zarzour's Voice Over class was just what I needed to motivate me
to use what everybody says I have - "a great voice"! Now I know what it
takes to make that voice work for me. The class was so good for me that
well... I'm taking another one!"* * Richard Weber* *Lakewood Class, May
& July, 2008*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*NEW "As a teacher, Jean gives of herself totally and unselfishly, sharing
not only technical knowledge, but wisdom, advice, and respect for the art
and craft of voice acting. Encouragement, empathy, and a quick-silver sense
of humor that doesn't quit, made for some of the most fun times I've ever
had in any course*
*." James Meyers *Lakewood Class, May, 2008
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*NEW* "*The toughest thing about "hellos" is knowing one day you'll have to
say "goodbye". **To say that I enjoyed myself in your class would clearly
be an understatement and not give justice to your enormous talents in waking
up my inner creative soul. So how does one say, 'I appreciate your
patience, drive to find my best, being able to motivate me and the rest of
the talents and personalities in class, all while laughing at my corny and
sometimes off-color joking around?" Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Bob

*"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 than 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 Belajac

***"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 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 *

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*

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
