  *What Kids, Parents, Schools & Arts Organizations say about *
*Group Classes & Private Coaching with Jean Zarzour*

*"Group Classes* (Film & Television 7 Voice Over)

"Jean Zarzour is not only a dedicated and gifted teacher, she is a ton of
fun! The teens she taught in our summer TV camp last year loved her as much
as her adult students do. Voice over work is challenging, but Jean makes
learning the ropes of voice acting a delight. Get ready to laugh and learn!
" * Donna Belajac, C.S.A. *(Owner, Donna Belajac Casting)*
*

"What an awesome class! Jean was hilarious, and I learned a lot. She taught
us skills for modeling, acting for TV commercials, interviews and specific
on-camera skills.  Loved it!"  *Hayley Wheeler *(Student)

"Great class, great instructor. It was fun to watch Hayley grow and become
more confident and comfortable with her acting. Hayley is ready to sign up
for another class.  *Gabriella Wheeler* (Hayley Wheelers Mother)

"Jeans class is really fun! I learned a lot of new things that I never knew
and I made so many friends!  We learned about auditioning, commercials and
being on TV! It was a GREAT experience! I would definitely suggest this
class to anyone who wants to learn a lot about acting and show
business!"  *Hannah
Blaze* (Student)

"I was extremely pleased with the skills and confidence my daughter acquired
from your program. She gained an understanding of advertising, what goes
into filming commercials and how to present herself in a professional
manner, all in a fun, relaxed atmosphere."  *Lynn Connelly *(Mother)

"This class is really fun! Its an awesome experience for me! Ms. Jean is the
best acting teacher on the whole planet. We want to take her class again!"
*Bianca and Olivia Chan* (Students)
*
Private Film & Stage Audition Coaching*
"An acting coach is a must in this business.  If you want to improve your
child's acting ability in any area, Jean is the coach you want. My 2
daughters have studied with several coaches in Los Angeles and Ohio. They
are represented by a top manager in Los Angeles, who has been very impressed
with the work that Jean has done with them for major feature film auditions.
She is extremely knowledgeable, easy to work with and always makes the time
to coach my children for auditions, no matter how little advance notice we
have."  *Joy Beck* (mother- contact # upon request)

"I couldn't ask for a better coach! Whether it's developing characters,
analyzing language, or using my voice effectively, Jean helps me go above
and beyond all that I thought I was capable of, especially in my college
auditioning process!  Jean has helped me see the characters and scenes from
a variety of perspectives  while giving me the creative freedom that I like
to have as an actor. As a result, I was one of five students awarded a
scholarship at Case Western Reserve University, based only on an audition. I
plan to continue working with Jean through my acting career in college as
well."   *Grace Mitri* (student)

"I contacted Jean Zarzour to work with my daughter, Grace, to prepare for
auditions required for college admission. After only 1-2  sessions, my
daughter auditioned for and was awarded one of only five merit scholarships
given by the Theatre Department at Case Western Reserve University.  Jean
had a plethora of ideas for material/props/actions and discussed everything,
at length, with Grace. She made sure Grace felt completely comfortable with
all aspects of each monologue, which Jean made sure were age-appropriate.
Grace was always pleased after her work with Jean and looked forward to
their next meeting. She would promptly call her with news as she received it
from the universities, bursting to tell her the particulars. I highly,
highly recommend Jean Zarzour, who is not only extremely talented as an
actor/writer/singer, but is one of the few people who has a special gift of
being able to encourage the desire in her students to work to be the best
they can be."  *Marianne Mitri *(Grace's Mother- Contact # upon request)

"My daughter, Kelsea has been auditioning with an agent in Los Angeles. Jean
has been wonderful in her private coaching sessions with her. With patience,
determination and a large dose of humor, she has helped Kelsea find the
perfect nuances for her characters and has given her the confidence to
succeed at any audition.  Any student or organization would be lucky to have
her as an instructor."
*Michele Freeman *(Mother - Contact # upon request)

"Without your help, my son's college entrance auditions would have been a
disaster! Jimmy did very well in Chicago and we owe that to you!  We are so
much better prepared for future auditions because of the monologue choices
and the instruction you provided on everything from his acting skills to the
step by step process of auditioning. We will be back for more as Jimmy’s
career progresses!  Thanks for everything!" *Tom Cirner* (Father - Contact #
upon request)


"I began working with Jean in 2008, when I caught the acting bug.  She has
coached me on everything from how to write a resume to how to select and
perform theater auditions. She also instructed me during a summer program at
BTOTS. With Jean's coaching I felt more confident to audition. I've been
doing theater and independent films ever since. Now, I even have the same
agent as Jean! Your children will never work with a more knowledgeable voice
instructor or monologue coach than Jean Zarzour, anywhere."  *Malik Akbar *
(Student)

*Escerpts from Arts Organizations*
*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

*The Beck Center* –Film & Television Acting Program
"I Have had the pleasure of employing Jean Zarzour as a teacher of Film and
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

*The Beck Center* – Education Outreach Program
"Jean Zarzour has been part of the Beck Center Education Outreach staff
since 1998.  She is a gifted actress and comedienne whom the children
thoroughly enjoy.  She is always prompt, well-prepared, responsible and
relates well to children and adults."  * Lynda Sackett*, Director, Dance
Education & Former Director of Education Outreach

*Brecksville Theater on the Square*
“Jean has had a 3 year association with BTOT.  As director, writer and
teacher, Jean showed a willingness to go above the requirements of her role
and displayed outstanding teamwork with the musical director, choreographer
and board members. As an idea person she was eager to work with our
organization to facilitate growth within the curriculum, which in turn
helped attract new students to the program. Her enthusiasm for the arts was
obvious with a positive influence on her students as well as our
organization.”   *Scott A. McPherson*, President BTOTS Board of Directors

*Hathaway Brown School*
"How fun it was to work with you on *Sing On!* You brought so many hilarious
touches to the show and the student actors thrived on them. Thank you for
working so well with these young actors and for not compromising because of
their lack of experience or their age. You showed them respect by holding
them to such high standards. And- how often do the director and
choreographer get to laugh themselves silly collaborating and then get to
enjoy the audience laughing themselves silly watching the fruits of their
labor? This experience was one of those magical times." *Molly Cornwell*,
Director of Theatre

*The Reel Thing Recording Studios*
"Over the years, Jean's students show up prepared and well-schooled in voice
over technique and understanding of the craft. If you want to develop your
skills as a voice over talent, Jean's class is a great place to
start."*Jimmy Silver
