Below is an ad for my Voice Acting courses. But it's a no frills, down and dirty ad. So, don't look for eye candy.

If you've done research about Voice Over Classes, then you know that what is being offered right here in North East Ohio and at Donna Belajac Casting in Pittsburgh, is the most comprehensive course for the least amount of money anywhere in the USA!

(Confetti, Marching Band and Stilt Walker here)

That's right! The Entire Country!

Now, if you would rather pay $2,000-$4,000 to feel you're getting value, I'll be happy to take it! That's what a select number of companies charge for online, phone or 3 day courses. Really!

They come through town and offer their 1 night teaser courses at Community Centers, Libraries and Colleges for $40.THEN they sell you the 2-$4000 courses, gushing over your remarkable talent, promising you a glorious career in VO!

Well, I wind up teaching many of their former students who were left unsatisfied and feeling ripped off.

Now, read carefully...add more confetti and champagne if you'd like to...

You don't have to pay that much money for a comprehensive, fun and valuable course in voice acting.

You can take my course and learn more than you ever expected in 8 weeks and 1 Saturday, in a real-world environment, from professionals who actually work in the industry.

And NO ONE will blow smoke up your skirt or pants about where you stand with your ability.

I want you to succeed, but I won't lie to you.

The great news is that MANY of my students are making money as voice over artists! NICE! I LOVE hearing their success stories, but believe me, they didn't do it without investing a lot of time, a reasonable amount of money and proven marketing tools.

The hard, cold truth is that it is NOT likely that you'll become a working Voice Over Artist in 8 weeks. Probably not in 16 or 24 weeks! Like those of us who have been at this for more than 20 years, you TOO will have to work at it.

You'll need to practice in ALL of your spare time, take other acting courses that will aid your voice acting skills, and treat this work like a BUSINESS - a business that sells a product you know better than any other - and that product is you.

That's just some of the truth about Voice Acting Work.

From 5 of 16 AFTRA Members Who Attended the Marketing Seminar
NEW! Thank you so much for what you shared at the AFTRA Conservatory. I thought you were fantastic! One of the first timers said to me, "Isn't she fabulous?" and I had to agree. We all learned a lot and I think if we all follow your advice, we can do a lot better! Thank you many times over.  - Cathy Albers, Professor, Case Western Reserve University/AFTRA Conservatory Co-Chair/AFTRA, SAG, AEA  cla2@case.edu
NEW!
  I recently had the good fortune to attend Jean's "Marketing Your Talent" seminar.  As a professional who has been bored to death by many presenters on many different subjects, I can enthusiastically tell you that what Jean presents will never be mistaken for boring.  Her knowledge and enthusiasm will keep the attention of any audience, and her ability to blend her real life experiences into her presentation make this seminar a must see for anybody looking to improve their sales and marketing approach.  You'll leave with a new attitude and your own enthusiasm for putting her teachings to the test!!  - Eric Sharpe Voice Actor  www.sharpevoice.com
NEW! Thank you for condensing five hours of info into two, Jean. Lots of valuable stuff. Your seminar has motivated me to update my materials, like, NOW! Thanks again, Jean. You're aces! - Bobby Thomas www.bobbythomasvoices.comNEW! Jeannie - ThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyou!!!   My head is spinning with the new, useful information, and with new determination.  What an asset you are to all of our lives, private and professional. - Pete Ferry www.peteferry.comNEW! Jean Zarzour is a dear friend and a valued, highly-skilled acting colleague. What I didn't realize, however was Jean's positive genius for inspiring and motivating actors and performers in the areas of marketing and branding. Her presentation was eye-opening, and upbeat, entertaining and inspiring. She's come up with many new and worthwhile wrinkles on the old game of self-promotion geared toward today's high-tech, Internet-saturated world.  - Paul Slimak, SAG, AFTRA, AEA 440-871-0925 herrslim@mac.com
NEW!  Thank you, Jean, for your presentation. I appreciate your 'giving back' to the local AFTRA community, and I look forward to employing your suggestions. The technology is there for us to utilize, so I accept the challenge.  I'm taking my first steps, which always seems to be the most difficult.  It's good to know we have someone like you in the region to lend support, a guiding hand and humor to help grease the wheels and get moving! Thanks again! Bill Merrick
