NEW "Jean Zarzour’s Voice-Over Class has been, by far, the best class setting I have ever experienced! The class was just as much fun as it was challenging! And believe me, being stretched beyond my comfort zone was challenging. Jean was the perfect instructor, coach and motivator. She utilized all of her skills and voice-over repertoire to guide my “nice voice with potential” much closer toward becoming a “multi-dimensional, multi-character voice with potential!” Jean taught me that the other key component to becoming a successful voice-over actor was not just the voice; it was developing....Hey, want to know that other key component? TAKE THE CLASS!! You may see me there. I definitely want to add another level to my training. Kudos to George Sipl of George A. Sipl Productions for the high level of professionalism and expertise in the making of our class demo." Marla B. Lakewood Class, May, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NEW "Jean Zarzour's Voice Over class was just what I needed to motivate me to use what everybody says I have - "a great voice"! Now I know what it takes to make that voice work for me. The class was so good for me that well... I'm taking another one!" Richard Weber Lakewood Class, May & July, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NEW "As a teacher, Jean gives of herself totally and unselfishly, sharing not only technical knowledge, but wisdom, advice, and respect for the art and craft of voice acting. Encouragement, empathy, and a quick-silver sense of humor that doesn't quit, made for some of the most fun times I've ever had in any course ." James Meyers Lakewood Class, May, 2008------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW "The toughest thing about “hellos” is knowing one day you’ll have to say “goodbye”. To say that I enjoyed myself in your class would clearly be an understatement and not give justice to your enormous talents in waking up my inner creative soul. So how does one say, ‘I appreciate your patience, drive to find my best, being able to motivate me and the rest of the talents and personalities in class, all while laughing at my corny and sometimes off-color joking around?" Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Bob Green Lakewood Class, May, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “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
Casting "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

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

Casting
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "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

class was great! She provides a comfortable atmosphere where you can
explore and learn. Her knowledge of her craft, her ability to bring out your
best, and the interaction with your fellow students made this class a very
positive experience." Barb

"Jean! Thanks for sharing your experience and
your wealth of talent. You made every class fun, challenging and informative.
And compared to other courses, yours is the best deal for the money. I'm so glad
I took your course and am looking forward to coming back for more. You're the
Greatest!!" Dave Rader,
Bass Player and future VO
talent.

"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. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, met a lot of cool, hilarious people and came away with professionally produced piece of work. A very creative, rewarding experience." Carolyn Cull --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "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---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Some key words about Jean: Professional. Prepared. Capable. Shrewd. Supportive. Open. Creative. Hard-working. Committed. Funny. A leader. Caring. Knowledgeable!" - James McCormack ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
