David, thanks so much for the excellent coaching sessions; I learned so much and had a fun time in the process! When I get my design act together I would love to run the titling of the tracks by you for feedback if you don't mind. Thanks again for everything,

Karla H.

I want to thank you for an most enjoyable session, my coach Tom was excellent, and as nervous as I was he totally made me feel comfortable. I look forward to more sessions with him and will call to schedule an appointment soon. Thanks!

JoAnn Ross

Randye, I just want to let you know what a privilege it has been to be under your tutelage these past few months. You have not only taught me so much about the industry but you have instilled confidence in me which is so critical for me in moving forward with my career since I've always been a little timid about my vocal abilities. You've also made the learning process a lot of fun! I felt a real connection with you and would definitely encourage anyone looking to get into this industry to...

Lynne

Hi David, I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic coaching session I had with Randye last Friday. Although I had originally booked the hour as coaching/recording for a demo update.... we actually focused on picking the right genre for me and worked on that type of copy. Randye even gracioiusly reviewed my Narration and Commercial demos that I sent to her prior to the session. It was so beneficial to hear her constructive review of what I have already, what I could work on and what...

Michele

David, Thank you for the terrific voice over class. It was not only informative but very entertaining as well. I resigned from a long time broadcast career a few years ago. Recently, I've been looking to get back to work. You gave me the answers I needed and I'm very excited to start my new voice over career! A big thanks to David and Edge Studio!

Michele Donofrio Harding

Just want to pass thanks along to Kristin before I forget. She's a fabulous teacher, but I guess everyone knows that. Wish I had the money to just work with her for about a year! It's one thing for someone to point out what needs correcting, but another when they can help you find the way to make the change. Kristin always has a marvelous technique for showing me how to get to the bottom of the challenge and correct it. And, she's also very good at helping you not feel terrible about the...

Sandra

David, That was so much fun. Thanks for your expert help and encouragement. You are great to take direction from. Looking forward to our next meeting.

Deborah

With his straightforward and honest approach, David is an effective instructor for group workshops as well as individual coaching, and can easily pinpoint one's voiceover strengths and weaknesses. He's an amazing sound engineer too - you can certainly trust your demo production to him!

Karen H.

David, I had an enormously great time making the 6th Ave commercials. I just wanted to let you know that I couldn't have done it without you. You took me from sounding like a novice to sounding professional. I want to thank you for being such a good coach, teacher and director, and for believing in me to give me this opportunity. I look forward to working with you again.

Joe D.

Dear David, Just a couple lines to thank you for a great meeting this morning at your studio. I can tell your insights will be helpful and look forward to our next consultation. Will get those outline notes to you no later than next Friday. Again, many thanks for your interest, expertise and enthusiasm. Best wishes

Tony

Hi David, Its time to switch my compliments. I've just finished my 3rd private session with Tom & wanted to let you know how terrific he was with me. He brings patience and constructive criticism, working with me on the pieces until I get a thorough understanding of delivery. He also sets the stage for the demo, advising what types of pieces he would like to see on them. Just the kind of experience I am coming to expect from your studio. My next session is with Judy & I am looking forward to...

Sharon

Hi Kerry, Hope you are well!! Just wanted to say thank you so much for last night's workshop on Voice Over. It was incredible informative and extremely helpful. I have taken one other workshop at a NYC studio with a different group and yours by far exceeded it. I am really looking forward to my one on one evaluation and hopefully moving forward with Edge Studio in creating a really great demo I can be proud. I hope our paths cross again!! Best wishes,

Hi Jean, Thank you so much! I can't tell you how grateful I am. I also wanted to thank you personally for setting me up with the trial voice over session with Eric. He is my favorite coach by far and I'm really excited about putting my reels together with him.

Keshia

You and the folks at Edge Studio are lifesavers to us VO talent. I'm so glad you're there! All the best,

Annette

Thanks again for the impromptu training session this morning. I really appreciate your advice and direction. I even implemented the techniques we discussed on the recording I did after we met. It helped!

John Foran

I just had to let you know that I had a great read for an agent tonight by applying what I learned in today's session. The agent, brought her own copy for us to read. It was for a bank and the first line read "I loved my bank". To practice reading it three different ways, I asked myself three questions: 1. How do I feel about triple scoop hot fudge sundaes 2. How do I feel about a really good friend (I picked a specific one) 3. How do I feel about someone I have a crush on (a specific...

Tami

I just did my phase 2 evaluation. I felt very at ease. My coach was exceptionally nice, made me feel very comfortable, and gave constructive criticism and advice on what forms of voice over would best suit my voice. I got the direction and clarification out of the session that I was hoping for. I just wanted to again thank Keri and the entire staff at Edge studio for an honest, informative and straightforward evaluation of me as a voiceover talent. Thankfully, my training session was all that I...

Carlos

There is NO BETTER voice over coach than Danielle Quisenberrry. I especially appreciate the way she shares her knowledge and experience in a way that makes you feel comfortable. She communicates with you in a way that's easily understood. If you want to get into the voice over arena, you need Danielle.

Jim

Dear David, Thank you so much for your continued encouragement. It is greatly appreciated. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you on Wednesday. David, you are not only knowledgeable about your work, you have a knack for making someone feel completely at ease, you are professional, courteous and pleasant to work with and totally appreciated by me - as I also informed Jean yesterday.

I just wanted to thank you again for the V.O. session yesterday. In addition to the professional comments and perspective which were most helpful, I enjoyed the conversation. I will try to schedule another session in the next few weeks. Regards,

Evan

David's skills are outstanding! His coaching skills helped immensely in improving my interpretation of a script, as well as in the ultimate delivery. What I liked most was that we never rushed through a script, and didn't move on until we got it right. I highly recommend him if you're looking to learn the ropes of doing voice-overs, or if you're just looking to fine tune your skills.

Dear Kerry: Just a quick note to say thank you for the engaging and informative voice class today. We all learned a lot and thought you did a great job! Best wishes,

Jim Jim Keeley Howard Hughes Medical Institute

David - you have a calming personal style that makes it easy to take direction and receive criticism!

Tina Frey - New York, NY - June, 2000

Hi Becky, Glad to help. Having a nice voice certainly is a good start, but like any other craft/art you have to be willing to learn and practice the skills and techniques that make the difference between "having a nice voice" and "being able to get work as a voice over actor". As much as there are crappy voice overs on the air, the fact remains that quality work is much more about knowing how to use your voice, and your skills, and about acting than it is about talking. Having said that,...

Hi Eric: Let me thank you for the work you have done with me during our sessions thus far. I am getting so much out of them, and enjoying every minute of it! Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday evening! Thanks again,

Nancy

Bruce, Thanks for a fabulous audition session yesterday. You were so helpful. I will let you know what comes of it. I made a copy of the CD before I sent it out yesterday. I look forward to talking to you soon.

James Early

Hi Morgan, Part one was very informative. Kerry is obviously experienced and her instruction and feedback was informative and patient. While I think some of us had some previous voice over experience and others had none, she was very good with the range of talent that were in the class, bringing out improvements in a short period of time. Thanks,

Derek

Hi, David. I promised you feedback as I was running out the door last Wednesday, so here goes: Kristin was fantastic. You already know this because she works with you. There are many reasons why this class worked so well. Kristin has a very congenial and warm personality. I can imagine that not every voice over artist is as likable as Kristin. In addition, she inspires and gets the students excited about the work. I also really liked this class because we each had booth time. I took...

Suzanne Obolsky

Hi Paul. Well, the vo went very well with Fortunoff. They loved my work! I just can't thank you enough for your invaluable training and guidance. Whatever you are doing, it is working. I'm getting better all the time. It took about four hours and the price was right! I loved every minute of being in the studio. The Creative Director of the ad agency found me on voice123.com and contacted me directly. He said he listened to 80 demos and loved mine. He said he loved how I was "so New...

Jim

As a teacher in my field, I have taught management classes to all levels of management, as well as presentation skills to those teaching others or giving speeches, etc....David's skills are outstanding. His coaching skills helped immensely in improving my interpretation of a script, as well as in the ultimate delivery. What I liked most was that we never rushed through a script, and didn't move on until we got it right. I highly recommend him if you're looking to learn the ropes of doing...

David Beaman, Florida

Thanks, David!! You have helped me so much, and given me a lot of confidence by being so supportive of my efforts and abilities. Especially considering that I'm such a doubting Thomas--but I think I'm much less so, thanks to you. And that comes across in the reads and during work sessions. Thanks again

Colleen

Hi David, Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for the surprise coaching session yesterday! It was a real treat to be unexpectedly team coached by you at Deb's workshop! Thanks for letting us use your studio. You've developed quite an outgrowth program, am I'm delighted to be part of your tele-class Phase 4 group.

Linda

My background--which includes studio work as a singer, a graduate degree in education, and an old, not-quite-there VO demo--has prepared me to fully appreciate the work David Goldberg has been doing with me over the past few months. His mastery of his industry and craft, his understanding of performance psychology, and his gift for teaching and communicating are unmistakable...he's is the most centered, organized, and self-possessed person I've come across in a long time. His instruction and...

M.C. Tapera

David is the guy you want if you want an honest appraisal of your abilities, practical help in improving your skills and the real deal on this business.

Reginald Metcalf

WAS OVER THE TOP FABULOUS! Hi Jean, Had to get that out. I learned a lot. Eric is an excellent teacher, and patient. He waited until I understood getting "engaged." Need practice. Thanks for your help.

Phyllis LeMonier

David, Thanks for all your time and input during our evaluation training placement. I learned much and took many notes for future reference. I am glad I read the manual ahead of time. You are very thorough and I am looking forward to my evaluation on Tuesday. Sincerely,

Carolyn E Durham, NC

[I had my first job!] I can honest say I felt confident and understood exactly what the producer asked for. The work we did, your critical ear and preciseness made me very comfortable with the whole audition. Thanks. I'll let you know about Tuesday too

Dave Dettore

Dear Bruce Thanks for such a great session the other day. I felt very good leaving the studio -- much more confident as we work towards demo.

Andree

I just wanted to let you know I was at the studio today and I couldn't have been more pleased. I guess things happen for a reason, but in the case it couldn't have worked out better for me. Just thought a bright note might help, during this time. Have a great weekend.

Mark

Hi Paul, Just wanted to say today's session was great as we had you all to ourselves :) I can't wait to do my next demo with you and I was telling my husband all about it tonight I so much enjoyed working our one on one tonight , I am just so much more relaxed now and I know I still need direction to get it to the next level,but I have so much more confidence as I have learnt a lot since I did my demo ... I have just been listening to voice bank and I listened to you ....you are great !! and I...

Rebecca

Outstanding voice-over coach Judy Kameny, the entire Edge Studio organization is quite simply first-class.

Gina K.

David: For the past several weeks I have been working with one of your terrific coaches, Judy. She is absolutely awesome! In our most recent session she believes I require one perhaps two more sessions prior to going to the studio to produce my demo. You all at Voice Edge have been so helpful and professional and I believe your efforts and professionalism can assist me in reaching my goals. Should you and I speak for a few moments prior to making the appointment for the production or...

Drew

Hi David: Thank you for your email. I just completed my second training session this past Thursday, and it was a blast. There's something about pursuing a long-awaited interest. I so enjoy being in front of a mike in a sound booth hearing my own voice. I don't want to sound vain, but I shouldn't have waited so long to do this. I LOVE IT! Mike is very encouraging and lots of fun during our sessions. I just hope I am progressing as I should.

Joann (Jae)

I had my last training session with David. In the first 15 minutes of that session I got to a level that I could not achieve, even after two one-hour sessions with another school. I am so thankful for fate and the opportunity to work with David. He is talented, professional and he knew exactly what was holding me back. I am excited about the possibilities.

Ruth Wuchter

Hi Jay, Just a quick e-mail to thank you, once again, for helping me produce my demo! First, you helped me edit my scripts to the correct length. Next, you encouraged me to explore a variety of emotional tones. Your final suggestion --that I have FUN with the material-- gave me confidence. All of these things helped me give much better performances than I would have on my own. I look forward to taking more classes from you, and doing more coaching with you, in the near...

Elizabeth Holmes

Hi David, You and I spoke one time, quite a few months back. It was when you did the "annoying radio add", I don't recall what you called it exactly but it was along those lines. I sent you the mp3 and you called me and gave me some advice. Well I dropped the ball on that and sent you something annoying but it wasn't what you were really looking for. I redid the bit and sent it to you and you emailed me back with your comments, which was much appreciated. I also appreciated how you...

David and Eric, My deepest thank you for the coaching session Wednesday afternoon. I picked up a ton of great advice. Eric was fantastic with identifying areas which I need to focus to make my performance real. I would like to arrange another coaching session for the future. I'll be in touch. Regards,

Tom Wahl

I feel very fortunate to have found Edge Studio. David and Mike are very knowledgeable, patient, and supportive teachers, and they deliver their instruction in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. They allow students to learn and progress at a comfortable pace and always strive to have them do their best. I would recommend Edge Studio highly to anyone. I can't think of anyplace else where I would have wanted to be trained...or any other studio where I'd want to continue my training.
