*NEW! "Every actor remembers that moment of inspiration when they caught the
"Acting Bug". For me it was the first time I met Jean Zazour. She not only
gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams, she got me my first Hollywood
Agent. I truly believe it is because of her confidence in me that I have
been a full time working actor in Hollywood for more than a decade now. She
is much more than an acting coach, she is a career builder." - Jonathan T.

*Testimonials From Recent Students

*
*** **NEW! "Jeans class is a "must do" for anyone trying to get into voice
over or voice acting work, here in the Cleveland/Pitts region. Jean takes
you from voice to studio, and everywhere in between. The small class size
allows for a more intimate teaching style, and gives plenty of time for
feedback from classmates. This is offset by the copious amounts of tips,
hints, contacts, and real-world experience that Jean brings, both to the
class and your mailbox. I credit Jean with not only giving me the confidence
to get that first paying gig, but the rock solid advice to actually get paid
for it." - Tony Lettl**
**_______________________________________**
NEW! "Jean Zarzour is an amazing voice over coach! She provide both a fun
and rich learning environment. After each week, I could hardly wait to get
back to another class. It was that interesting. For 8 weeks of solid
instruction,  at such a reasonable price, you can’t afford not to do this.
I also want to give a testimonial to the other 6 wonderful people who were
part of this class.  I may have to join Voice Over Anonymous, to help me
through the withdrawl." - Steve C**allas**
_______________________________________*

***NEW! **"This is the best experience I've had in a long time. Jean is the
most generous teacher I can remember. I've never had so much fun being
encouraged to go outside my “comfort zone”. For the last class, you go into
a real studio and come out with a real commercial produced with George Sipl
(an Emmy Award winning producer), who is also very easy and fun to work
with. A listen to student recordings and demos produced and coached by these
two amazing people display a style and wit that I hope to have on my own
demos. Thanks guys and I look forward to working with you again! - Dan
McCord*

* _______________________________________*

 *NEW! **"I worked hard, laughed harder and after eight weeks I had learned
more tha"t I ever thought I would. Like all good teachers, Jean made me want
to learn even more."  - Robert Sebastian*
*_______________________________________*

"*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*

*

*"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!" I plan to take another round and 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."  Marla

*"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  *
* _______________________________________*

*"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 *

* _______________________________________*

*"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 Green *

*_______________________________________***

*"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 **
*

* _______________________________________*
*"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
** _______________________________________*
*"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 *
* _______________________________________*
*"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. *
* _______________________________________*
 *
"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

*"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 *

"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

 _______________________________________
**"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 voice-over
career."  Anne McEvoy*

 *"I LOVED this seminar! I never realized how much was involved in the
process of the Voice Over Business, let alone what there is to learn about
actually doing the work! Jean provided every detail and answered every
question with handouts to support what we were learning. I was even more
impressed with the extra material she emailed us the next day. She cares
about this business and it shows."*

actually learn VO skills and I'll have all the tools I need."*
