“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- Pittsburgh Class @ Donna Belajac

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "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 - Pittsburgh Class @ Donna Belajac

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

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. - Pittsburgh Class @ Donna Belajac

"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

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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

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.
