An article about Business Theater for Cleveland Business Connects (CBC) Magazine.

One of the hats I get to wear is the Business Entertainer plume...or top hat...or whatever hat I need for the gig!

When asked to write about the do's and don'ts of hiring entertainment for a business event, I took the task seriously. 

I've learned something valuable as owner of LIPSCHTICK the past 20 years: Guns don't kill. Poorly planned events do!

2 VO Stories. 1 Happy & 1 Sad with Useful Tips!

Hello Voicies! It's been a great summer, full of really interesting jobs (a feature film, a TV commercial, an internet spokesperson gig and voice overs) and fulfilling teaching assignments, from Cleveland to Pittsburgh. I hope the same is true for you. 
Find Your Voice is going strong, and this September marks my 4th year of teaching and producing voice over demos, under the Find Your Voice name. I'm tickled about that and so proud of the hundreds of students I've had the honor to work with. You can hear many of them on TV and Radio! Recent Congrats go out to: Jim M., Tony L., Susan W., Beth S., Mike M., Neal K., Ryan S., Karen S., Jimmy C. 

Just this morning, I was filled with both glee and frustration with 2 phone calls, 10 minutes apart. 
In each story, there is a little something for your "TIP Jar" as you build your acting career.

The 1st Call
was from my agent, saying that I booked a voice over gig for next week! Yipee! I'm even happier because it's a 2 person spot as husband and wife. Lots of opportunity to "play" there.

While many other talent would have been just as "right" for the job, there are a few reasons why my scene partner and I booked the job. 
Here are 2 reasons:

1.  Instead of just auditioning by myself, doing only my lines, I took the time to contact another actor who was scheduled to do the audition as the husband and did the audition with him.  This practice of solo auditions on 2 person spots has become more common and it drives me nuts, so I manage to work around it by contacting another actor who is scheduled to do the audition, and did it WITH him. My agent didn't mind because it helped them get both talent bookings out of their agency. Sometimes

2. The other actor happens to be someone I have worked with many times, on very funny, character-driven spots and industrials. We had a ball! Not only did we do the spot as written for 2 funny characters, we kicked it up a notch and did another take as Marge and Homer Simpson, as well!


TIP- Make
them laugh by doing something fun and unexpected!
My agent told me that the client hired us because we were so much fun. The really funny part is that we're not even going to record the spot as broad characters. We're going to record the spot as a real couple. Darn! No big blue hair!

The 2nd Call
was from a former student who called to tell me that he just did his first VO job! It was a PSA (Public Service Announcement) and he was thrilled!  The only problem is HE DIDN'T GET PAID!!
I thought my head was going to EXPLODE!  I almost composed myself and reminded him: "If you're right for the part, you're right for the PAY!" There is a Union rate for PSA's. If you aren't in a Union, (AFTRA or SAG), you should be charging at least the Union Session Fee, considering you won't get any residual pay from future broadcast cycles of the spot.

TIP -
"If you're right for the part, you're right for the PAY!" Remind yourself that A. when you do any VO work for NO PAY, you rob yourself and every other VO talent out there. SOMEONE should get paid, no matter how inexperienced. Why not you? B. You set a precidence that you will work for NO PAY and will always get the same, NO PAY gigs from that client in the future.

If these stories sound familiar, I'm both happy and sad for you.

Stay HAPPY!

Your "TIP Jar" will be full and you'll get work in the Voice Over Industry!

What You Should Know Before Studying VO!
I am very excited to be in the midst of my 3rd year teaching Voice Acting Classes under the
Find Your Voice-Voice Acting Institute shingle in Cleveland and at Donna Belajac Casting in Pittsburgh.  Over all, I've been teaching this work for over 25 years.  In all these years there are a few "constants" that I felt were worth sharing if you are thinking of taking a voice acting class or producing a demo with me, or someone else for that matter.


Browse this blog for more information about me and the classes I offer.


In my experience, people who are new to voice acting/voice over work have many misconceptions about the work, and therefore, can be prey to scam artists with empty promises.  The most common misconception is that if you have a great voice, can read and speak English, then you can make a living in voice overs! How hard can it be for crying out loud?!  Harder than you think. 

 
Here is just some of What You Should Know Before You Study V.O.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT TO LEARN IN A VOICE ACTING CLASS?
Proper breathing techniques, vocal warm-ups, elocution exercises, body placement, copy interpretation skills, how to train you "ear", voice maintenance, home work exercises, studio/business etiquette, other resources for learning and everything in-between toward expanding your voice acting repertoire for a wide variety of "reads".  Where marketing is concerned, you should learn the best marketing practices for your region.  There are subtle differences in the way that artists in large markets like New York, Los Angeles & Chicago do things from the way artists in smaller markets like Ohio, PA & Michigan do things when it comes to agency representation, self marketing, home studios, websites and demo production. That's just the tip of the iceberg. If you are new to this work, a group class will offer much more than private coaching and it is much more affordable.



WHAT SHOULD I BE WARY OF?
1.  Any voice over training that is offered by phone! I don't mean telecasts or other media classes that only disseminate information. I mean sessions where you are reading copy and getting feedback from an instructor. They are out there. There are a dozen reasons why this is a bad idea, but mostly because a good instructor needs to see and correct how you breathe, use your body and facial muscles, while you work. Tension is the death of voice work. If I can't see it, I can't correct it. 

2.  Any Voice Over school visiting your town for 1 day, telling you that you have a great voice and can earn a living with only a few weeks of training.  After that 1 day introductory class, you will have to get the rest of your training out of town and/or over the phone! They charge thousands of dollars which includes a full length demo that can't possibly compete in the real world with so little training. Not to mention that these demos entirely too long and contain little to no production sweetening (sound affects and music). I've heard these demos from students who come to my class after an agent told them that their demo won't cut it. This is no way for the novice voice actor to train. 


Note:
Your demo is your calling card to the world.
It tells producers that this is the very best you can do. You should never produce a demo until you have learned and practiced what the pros know about being a voice over artist. How long do you suppose they spent training? I can assure you, it was not just a few weeks and they didn't spend thousands of dollars to produce their demo.

A full length demo is a 1 minute mp3 and/or CD, consisting of 8-13 cuts that you carefully select and rehearsed with an experienced Demo Producer/Director, and recorded at a professional recording studio AFTER you have trained for a bare minimum of 8 weeks if you already have some acting training and much more, if you don't.


A demo produced by any reputable producer in Cleveland or Pittsburgh should cost you no more than $700-$900. 
With Find Your Voice, that fee includes between 4-6 hours of preparation, rehearsal, recording session, sweetening (sound effects and music) and post production revisions. If you take the time to do it right, no one will ever know that you are a newbie and you won't have to revise your demo for a few years.

3.  Beware of an instructor who has only ever been a director, producer, engineer or ad agency exec, but has never been a voice over artist -  especially if you are new to this sort of acting. Voice over work is acting work, no matter what you are voicing. You'll gain much more knowledge from someone who has been successful behind the mic and behind the desk. 



DON'T SOME PEOPLE JUST HAVE NATURAL ABILITY? 
Even if you are an experienced stage or film actor, there are specific techniques that you will only learn in a class or on the job. (but trust me, no one wants to pay you to learn!)  Even if you were born with a warm, rich voice, it doesn't guarantee that you'll be able to interpret copy with the proper 'point of view' and acting skills needed.  Some of the most unusual voices work behind a mic because, in part, they have learned to interpret 1 piece of copy in a variety of ways and how to market themselves like a business owner.
 

WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE CHOOSING A VOICE ACTING CLASS?
1. Get a few books on the subject at the Library:
- There’s Money Where Your Mouth Is: An Insider’s Guide to a Career in Voice-Overs - by Elaine A. Clark
- Secrets of Voice-Over Success: Top Voice-Over Actors Reveal How They Did It - by Joan Baker
- The Art of Voice Acting - by James Alburger
A book won't teach you how to do voice over work, but it will reinforce what I'm telling you about training and give you a good idea about the business end. You'll also read great war stories from the most successful voices in the business.

2.  Listen to professional voice over demos so you can compare any instructor's demos with the ones from the top artists who are making a living doing voice overs. http://talentdemos.com/female_voice_talent.htm is a good place to start for Cleveland talent demos.

3.  If you are interested in Find Your Voice-Voice Acting Institute classes, visit http://findyourvoice-voiceactinginstitute.blogspot.com for class description, demos that I've produced at area recording studios, class info and more.

Now, more than ever, your investment should produce measurable results, whether you pursue a voice acting career, or not.

One Minute Demos Produced by Find Your Voice!


Your demo is your audio calling card to the world. It tells producers that this is the very best you can do. You should never produce a demo until you have learned and practiced what the pros know about being a voice over artist. How long do you suppose they spent training? I can assure you, it was not just a few weeks and they didn't spend thousands of dollars to produce their demo.

A full length demo is a 1 minute mp3 and/or CD, consisting of 8-13 cuts that you carefully select and rehearsed with an experienced Demo producer/director like Jean Zarzour and then record at a professional recording studio.

A demo produced by any reputable producer in Cleveland or Pittsburgh should cost you no more than $700-$900. 
With Find Your Voice, that fee includes between 4-6 hours of preparation, rehearsal, recording session and post production revisions. If you take the time to do it right, know one will ever know that you are a newbie and you won't have to revise your demo for a few years.

Beware of an instructor/producer who tells you that you have a great voice and should produce a demo before you've ever had any training or acting experience. Beware of anyone who has only ever been a director, producer, engineer or ad agency exec, but has never been a voice over artist -  especially if you are new to this sort of acting. Voice over work is acting work, no matter what you are voicing. You'll gain much more knowledge from someone who has been successful behind the mic and behind the desk.

I promise that I will never encourage anyone to produce a demo before they are able to take specific direction and deliver the goods within one or two takes upon getting that direction. Also, when you produce a demo, you should be able to reproduce every read on your demo, without being coached.  If you cannot replicate the reads on your demo, we both look bad!

Call 216-521-3831 for a free consultation about your future Voice Over Demo.

In memory of James Fowler Meyers (June 7, 1947 — January 23, 2010)

I am heart-broken to hear of the passing of James Meyers. James was one of my prized Voice Over students over a year ago. Not only did he do an amazing job behind the mic, I was also moved by his passion for creating radio drama in the style of those grand, 1940 radio days.

He brought his portable recording equipment to class one day and recorded sound affects and crowd noises with me and his classmates. We had a ball and were equally entertained by his final product. We’ve lost a true artist, arts enthusiast and gentleman. I’ll treasure his memory.
If anyone is interested, you can hear a sample of James voice over work that he did at a recording studio as part of his training with me. I think you’ll agree. He had a gift.   Click here to listen to the work James did in my class.  http://Jamesfmeyers.4shared.com/

What Kids, Parents and Arts Organizations say about Classes & Private Coaching with Jean Zarzour

Group Classes (Film & Television)
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)


"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)

Excerpts from Arts Organizations
Playhouse Square 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

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

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

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, Owner
