Don't Embarrass Yourself

Learn to talk & act pro in this dry-run recording session! Just because you've never been in the booth, doesn't mean that you can't talk and act professionally.

Skip the learning curve and act like a pro from the start! You will learn in two hours the crucial information that other talents learn after years of mistakes. Find out the things that you may already be doing every day that could be getting you nowhere fast, why that is, and how never to do them again.

Let David Guzzone walk you through virtually every step of a pro session, from the audition to sending an invoice. Learn the do’s and don’ts of the industry, and the protocol you need to know to make a professional impression. Learn proper studio terminology and how to adhere to the code of conduct that tells those on "the other side of the glass" that you are a working pro voice talent. Sometimes what may seem like a simple oversight may be enough to send an agent or director over the edge and cause them to toss your demo into the "round file". It could mean the difference between being asked back, and being asked to leave.

David Guzzone is one of the few in the voice-over industry who is recognized for working on “both sides of the glass.”

As a voice actor (microphone side of the glass) and on-camera actor, his credits include Honda, Taco Bell, CSI:NY, Volvo, Charmed, Power Bar, General Hospital, McDonalds and, his most challenging role to date, the voice of a heating and air conditioning unit for Philadelphia Electric Company. It was a stretch because David is more readily cast as a refrigerator or toaster.

As a voice-over producer (director’s side of the glass), and working side by side with sound engineers, David has gained vast experience giving him a complete picture of the industry.

And as a voice over casting director (the third side of the glass, otherwise known as the EDGE) for commercial, narration, and video game projects, David has worked with hundreds of talent and is responsible for distinguishing between the rare great audition and the average audition that is most commonly delivered.

Put all this together, and as a coach, he is able to impart these experiences to aspiring voice over artists.

Regarding the personal side of David, he’s a native New Yorker and has worked in the entertainment industry for 15 years in NYC and LA.
