*
*NEW! **" I just got signed with Docherty!  Jean's class is a real
eye-opener to the world of voice over and well worth the money. Her zany,
unique teaching methods cause even the shyest person to drop their guard,
open their mouth and let out amazing things (in a good way)! Listen closely
because she dispenses nuggets of wisdom throughout every class - not only
about getting the best, most appropriate read out of yourself but also about
show biz etiquette, Dos and Don'ts in the studio and, yes, even the
pros andcons of neti pots!!I wish I knew half of what Jean's
forgotten!
" Beth Skowvron** *
*NEW! "Every actor remembers that moment of inspiration when they caught the
"Acting Bug". For me it was the first time I met Jean Zarzour. 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.
Floyd *
*NEW! "I thought I'd let you know that I signed a contract with The Talent
Group -- they loved the demo we produced!  Thank you for helping me to make
this happen!"  - Ryan Sittler*
*NEW!  "**I credit Jean with not only giving me the confidence to get that
first gig, but the rock solid advice to actually get paid for it. And don't
forget to do Jeans marketing class. It makes the difference from looking for
work, to actually getting the gigs that are out there"  - Tony Lettl*

*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 Callas

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

*
*NEW! "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

*
*NEW! "Some key words about Jean: Professional. Prepared. Capable. Shrewd.
