Testimonials From Seminar Attendees
"I've attended a lot of workshops and seminars conducted by "professional artists" over the years but NONE of them were as informative and fun as the one Jean Zarzour offered. I can whole heartily recommend her because she is a working actor with credentials to prove it! - Michelle Posner
"This seminar will get you pumped up about your career! I have used almost all of the tips I learned from Jean (I mean there is a LOT to learn here) and since taking the course, I've landed an agent, done 5 voice overs in the past 4 months and am excited about doing more. This seminar is worth 5 X's what it costs. Don't tell Jean! - Joe McIntire
"Jean's workshop was just what I needed! Her insight into what a voice over demo should consist of was specific and right on target. With her how to, I was able to produce a demo and secure an agent." Cathy Lynn Yonek
" For those of you that think you have 'great voice', Jean's seminars will teach you that talent is just a small part of success. Work will not just land in your lap. The consistent marketing of your talent will make it much more possible, over time." - Robert Sebastian
"Jeans marketing class makes the difference between looking for work, to actually going out to get the gigs that are out there. It's already paid off for me!" - Tony Lettl

Testimonials from Demo Clients
- I’ve done lots of television and film work, and even some voice over; but the world of voice over is so specialized, that, in spite of working with other voice over coaches, I never felt like I was ready to do my own demo. After just a few hours with Jean it all fell into place! I would not hesitate to use Jean for special projects as well as to continue to keep my newly found skills in tune, and I highly recommend Jean’s classes for beginner through experienced actors! Linda Castro (award winning actress with co-staring roles on ER, The Shield, Cold Case, and Veronica Mars
- Jean worked with me to create and produce the best possible demo reel based on my abilities, and it still stands out. Her knowledge of many aspects of performing and voice-over, not to mention her sense of comedy, combine with her professional approach to make her tops at whatever she endeavors. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Lissy Gulick
- 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
- "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
- Jean Zarzour has been instrumental in my professional career. Her guidance and support has been instrumental as I have used what I have learned to become “The Voice of the Lake Erie Crushers” Minor League Baseball team, done numerous business videos and voice over content for our businesses and others, and frankly have become incredibly comfortable using my voice to make people smile. Without Jean, I would not have achieved any of this. I recommend her highly. E. David Marinac, President and CEO ABC Packaging Direct Home of StandUpPouches.net (www.standuppouches.net)
- After three very poor demo's, I went to Jean and got the best demo. I have received great feedback on it and one producer hired me immediately. Jean was able to get the best out of me and show me what I am capable of. Chris Vartorella
- Whether
you're just beginning or, like me, need to have the rust polished off
your skills, Jean can take you from printed page to a ready for prime
time MP3 demo. Marje
Rody
- Jean Zarzour is the coolest thing since ice cubes! She made me feel like her best friend the minute I walked in the door which really helped me to feel comfortable enough to explore what my voice could do. I have been waiting a long time to talk with someone who has this much insight into the business and my demo is evidence that I found her! Thanks Jean! Kristina Rivera

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 and cons of neti pots!! I wish I knew half of what Jean's forgotten!" Beth Skowvron

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
