Thank you David for your professionalism, helpfulness and honesty throughout the entire process, from the very first phone call to finally producing my demo. I know you're a perfectionist and it is a great asset! And thank you Judy for being a fantastic coach and helping me, a novice, learn the art of voiceovers. I truly enjoyed working with you! Your coaching has been valuable. Thanks also to Gina and Susan for being helpful and friendly on the phone. I wish you all the
best! Thanks!
Having gone through the one evening voice-over intro, one-on-one coaching and just completed my demo at Edge Studio, all I can say is "wow". Voice-over work "ain't easy", but with the thoroughness and professionalism
of the Edge Studio coaches and staff, not to mention that they are just plain neat people, I am confident in launching this next career.

Don't need to be "out there" to be familiar with Edge Studio.? I live in Las Vegas, and have done several phone consults with the top guy: David Goldberg.? Worth every penny.
David,
I think you and Paul (the only two I've taken classes with) are fantastic - always specific, honest feedback with experience behind it that really helped me grow. I have no reason to doubt your entire staff is just as great. Kristin and Lara in the office are terrific as well - a wonderfully run and professional operation.
My expectations are always surpassed in anything I've ever done there. I am very happy with my demo and thought the demo session was great - you put me right at...

Hi David, and everyone at EDGE :
I wanted to express my gratitude for all the help I have received from all of you. From day one, you reassured me and instructed me what to do, and how to get there. My coaching sessions were just what I needed. I learned a great deal from them. NOW MY DEMO IS COMPLETE!! David, the way you applied your skills and experience throughout the production of my demo, especially the improv on the fly, was inspiration to me . You are a leader and an example in the...

I studied voice overs with a few other people before I found Edge Studio. I wish I had found Edge first. No
other studio or teacher comes close to offering everything you need to get into Voice Overs like Edge
Studio does. I've trained, recorded in a real studio, worked on all kinds of copy, produced a demo, and
learned how to market myself. Edge Studio has made me feel very confident that I can succeed in the Voice
Over Industry!
Thanks again Guys!!!
Brett Beyer
Thanks Dave, and remembering everything you've taught me I can hit the one word several ways ... FANtastic, fanTAStic, or with a Yiddish slant "fantasTIC?" Of course, with some creative allowance I can change it to a very natural "FAAAAbulous!"
Hey Lara-
Thanks.
AND thanks for hooking me up with Jay. He's fantastic; exactly what I needed.
Thanks again!

Jessica,
I got into the business with Edge Studio. They conducted the advanced
workshop and recorded my first demo (and my second, and soon my third!), and
I have used them ever since. David Goldberg, the instructor and sound
engineer, is a perfectionist about voice and sound, and he really knows the
business! And since he doesn't do voices himself, he's not in competition
with you! I have found them to be professional, very reasonably priced, a
terrific value, and extremely valuable...

You guys are the best. I really appreciate it.
Thanks,

"I moved to NYC 15 years ago as a musical theatre actress. Then I was just a trained actress that could speak well but I had no idea that there were other ways I could express myself as an artist combining the skills of acting and my speaking voice. I came to Edge Studio and met David Goldberg who took my potential and honed and coached me and believed in me. His ears have guided me into an awesome career. Because of Edge Studio and David, I am a voiceover talent in NYC. I have voiced cartoons,...
Lisa Adams
Hi, David,
I'm writing to complement you on the team and studio you put together.
it's always a pleasure to work with everyone on your staff - and with the coaches. ok, i also like the lollypops - and the cookies when the home baked ones appear....
i've worked with Tom, Judy, Roy and now with Paul. they're all great coaches, each one with a very different in approach.
i'm working with Paul at the moment and find that his approach makes me even more aware of the "science" of voice-over......
Goldie Zwiebel
...I must say, the staff at Edge Studio go way beyond the definition of "passion" or "devotion" to their students and the VO business...I'm truly impressed:). They are so fabulous that I wish I worked for Edge!
Laila
Wow!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! This sounds wonderful! What a delight!
~ Thank you, Kristin, for all your hard work coaching me to get to this point. See you at the next step - the marketing class.
~ Thank you, David, for giving me direction at Backstage's ActorFest a few months ago. I don't think I would have made it to this point so fast without your enthusiastic encouragement.
~ Thank you, Jake - what skill and talent you have for making this all come together, and sound...
Karen
Thanks for everything. Working with EdgeStudio was a completely rewarding experience. The training sessions with David and the other coaches were invaluable. Everyone at the Studio is down to earth, friendly and so helpful. I walked away with a fantastic demo that I couldn't be happier with, as well as the confidence to start marketing myself for work.
Thanks again! I'll be in touch soon about ordering copies.
Sincerely,
Jaime Saginor
Hi David,
Bruce was just super on Wednesday when I taped my audition for the Christian Science Monitor.
Every class I've had through Edge has really help me develop the expertise I need to have the confidence in my skills to get out there and market myself. And it's going really well.
Thanks, David, for all your individual help and the help of everyone at Edge. You guys are the best.

My name is Todd Fleming and I have been doing voice over work for about 3 years. The experience that I had with Edge Studio was absolutely amazing. I worked from the DC studio with Kerry Miller and Brad Smiley. Kerry sat down with me, critiqued my abilities and devised a plan of action. Both she and Brad were friendly and honest. They taught me everything that I know about voiceover. I also completed a tele-training course with David that was extremely informative and beneficial. David's...
David Goldberg has an uncanny ear. He can coach you to make adjustments and improvements in every line, every word of a script. David made me sound better than I ever expected I could." Dennis Deninger
Happy New Year! DD
David,
My name is John Blackburn. I came to NYC over the weekend from Washington, DC (Maryland). I had the most amazing experiences on this trip, and Edge was a HUGE part of that. I feel I am well on my way to finding "my voice"... Thank you so much for creating Edge Studio! Every one I have worked with (Sara, Lara, Rose) have all been so professional and helpful. I felt as the owner you should know what an amazing staff I think you have.
Thank you again for everything you and your...
John Blackburn
I got the book and it is EXCELLENT!!! You've done a great job and it's the most up to date thing I have seen. I'll be in touch. If we have the finds next semester and you have the interest, I'd love for you to come down and do a workshop with out students. We have CD burners and are supposed to be getting a new studio this summer. I appreciate all you did and hope to see you in person on my next trip to New York.
Thanks again,
Marian Monta
Thanks to what I've learned at Edge Studio, I have now been invited to auditions that I wouldn't have been asked to go to before. The one-on-one coaching from Eric Rath and the guidance from David Goldberg really raised my performance levels in both commercial and narration work. I get many compliments on my demos... and I credit it all to Edge. Be assured I will continue to sharpen my skills with more Edge classes in the future. Thank you!
Mostly through the luck of the internet and good intuition I was lead to the Edge Studio. Walking into the intensive workshop I was nervous... I never had a problem talking before, so what if I'm bad at it and I don't even realize it. Once David begins the class you know you are in for a fun, learning experience. His ease mixed with extensive knowledge made the 4 hours fly by and when it was finished you just wanted to run home and practice and get started. However, don't get me wrong... be...
Hello David-
It was such a pleasure meeting with you yesterday. Before arriving, I was convinced that my only problem in getting more work was that I needed a kick in the ass, but after hearing what you had to say, I realized I had a lot to learn! The tips and suggestions you gave are so simple yet invaluable to me. Your frankness about what I was doing wrong, and your solutions really put me on the right track.
I feel that now I have a game plan.
Thanks.
I also can't thank you enough for...
Julie Borgen
Thanks David, I had a great, and learned a lot in a
very short period of time. There is no way I could have accomplished the
polish I now feel I have, if I had not done the training at EDGE. Tom was
wonderful, and has a great personality. He and I hit it off right away,
and of course that helped to make the entire process very comfortable and
relaxed right from the beginning. Tom was complimentary when deserved, but
also very candid with criticism. Just the right blend. Between my great
initial...
I have to tell you the experience I've had thus far with Edge (on every level) has been worth every penny. I really appreciate the opportunities I've been given as a student and a talent.
Thanks for letting me use the projects. I am just about ready to add a "projects" section to my website. Hope to see you soon.
Best regards,
Suzanne
WOW !!!! There are not enough positive adjectives in the dictionary to describe Edge Studio. It has been one of the most marvelous experiences I have had in my life. The staffs' knowledge and professionalism are second to none. In addition, they make you feel right at home. To anyone considering a career in Voice-Over, Edge Studio is the place for you.
I look forward to continuing my Voice-Over education with Edge Studio.
Most Sincerely,
Dave
I would like to thank everyone at Edge for all your assistance in preparing me for this demo. The process has been a fun and exciting journey, and everyone has been so supportive and professional.
Also, I really appreciate Eric for all his help working with me to create compelling material, and Jake for producing an amazing final product.
David, thank you for all your insight and advice. It is always a pleasure speaking with you when I was in the office. I look forward to working with you...
Anthony
Thanks, David.
Edge Studio has been a great launch pad for my voiceover career, from the
very first introductory session right through to the marketing class. Look
forward to staying in touch.

Let me repeat what a pleasure and fine learning experience it's been to have been tutored even so briefly by the sterling professionals at EDGE and if the opportunity arises, I will unreservedly recommend the "Voice Design Group" to others.
Thanks again and may the competition always succumb to the glistening "edge" of your most admirable enterprise.
Very cordially,
David
Hi David,
I just wanted to thank you, Tom, and Jean for being
so wonderful throughout this process. Jean is worth
more than her weight in gold as she is always so
accommodating and helpful. Tom is extremely talented
and taping my demo with him was a blast! I also am
appreciative of your help during my demo prep session
and during the beginning of my taping. Thanks again
for being so great and I look forward to working with
you in the future!
All My Best,

Hi David, you may not remember me, I took your course and did a demo CD with you over a year ago and moved to Colorado. I wanted to let you know that I have been getting some work here and have been well received. The training I got from you was excellent and it prepared me quite well, not only for the voice over itself, but how to work with directors and editors. I feel comfortable in the sound booth and taking direction (no one could be tougher than you!). Thank you for your help and wise...

Hi David
It's been a crazy couple of weeks.. but I have been meaning to drop you a quick note letting you know just how much I enjoyed working with you. You are a fabulous teacher and an all around great person. It is such a bonus to love the finished product, my demo, and to enjoy the process that got me there. Anyway thanks again!
Respectfully,
Debra Joy aka Debra Katz
Hello David,
Thank you, I really enjoyed my workshop! I was a little hesitant on participating in a 3 1/2 hour phone call. However, the time flew by. Your techniques, candid feedback, and passion provide a great combination for understanding and learning the business. It's been a long time since learning was so much fun and valuable! I am excited to have my coaching session!
Thanks,

Hi David,
"Just wanted to say thanks! You and your Edge Studio staff made the
whole project--from voice coaching to studio demo session to the CD
duplication process well worth my time and investment.
David, you and Judy, are excellent, easy to follow, instructors.
Each voice session taught me how to use my voice as a marketable tool.
Now, with freshly honed skills and confidence, I've been able to develop
a very marketable style.
I even opted for an Edge Studio special engineering evaluation...

Dear David,
Hi, it's Dale. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all
the effort you put in on my behalf on Wednesday. It was honestly very deeply
appreciated. -
You've always been willing to go the "extra mile" when assisting me in
furthering my voice-over career and I can't tell you how much that means.
Being that I've never viewed myself as being all that computer
literate, I'm sure I'll have questions along the way as I get my web site in
order. But it's a very good feeling to...
Take care, Dale
To the Edge Studio staff:
I am a new student of the voice over industry. Recently, I found your site and signed up for your emagazine along with downloading your voiceover guidebook. I just want to thank you for taking the time to put together a clear and concise source for helping the new VO talent. This industry can be very daunting to the newcomer. I really value the information you are providing me.
Many thanks,
Stacey Medve
Just wanted to say "thank you" to David. No matter what may or may not happen in terms of voice-overs being in my future (I am still interested in narrative work), I had to take this opportunity to say that David was a first-class teacher. The four or four-and-a-half hours passed very quickly, and I never once approached boredom! David was incredibly informative, humorous, patient, and persistent! I came away with a much greater understanding of what's involved in voice-overs, from all...
Steve McKay
How are you? its been ages since I've chatted with you! Just to refresh your memory I took a voice over class with you in DC and made a demo through your studio! That demo has served me very well! Almost a decade later, I have been involved in over 40+ audiobooks, commercials for radio and tv, narration, educational, corp imaging, messaging on hold for businesses, website navigation, you NAME it! I want to thank you once again for the amazing experience in working with edge studio. Whenever I...
Lauren Synger
You can take Edge Studio to the bank. Top notch. Great people, good practices, excellent results. You can practically get a college education in VO just by visiting their website, and reading all the "free" stuff they have.
Hello,
I just wanted to write a quick thank you directly to Noelle Romano, Brandon and David. I was in last Tuesday evening 8/18 to record my demo after two months of learning and being coached through this intense but fun training program.
After meeting with several different coaches and learning from each and everyone of them Noelle was one that I felt most at ease with especially with her consistent positive reinforcements. She made the final recording session fun. Brandon was on top of...

Hi Morgan,
The tele-class last night was wonderful! I really enjoyed it - I had to cut off about 15 minutes early, but it was a very well-spent 3 hours. Kudos to our instructor!
My next step is to set up a one-on-one with a coach - was hoping you could help me with that. I am local to DC, and wanted to see if I could have an in-studio session in the Bethesda location.
Thanks so much!
Holly
Hi, David!
I believe I'm repeating myself, but I can only say 'wow', what I've learned from you in such a short period of time, what, a couple of months -- and what I didn't learn over years of trying with several so-called voice over instructors, demo producers and whatever else is out there -- is absolutely amazingly not funny. Has no comparison. Would recommend anyone come to your studios if she/he is seriously interested in starting a career in voice over. I've only just made my demo and...

I really am happy to have access to such helpful advice. I appreciate how blunt you are! It's really what I need!

Hi All,
Just wanted to thank you again for an enjoyable and informative training experience yesterday. It's always nice to confirm that I'm going in the right direction, to learn new tips and tricks, and to get an extra ear on things. You run a first-class operation!
Hear you later!

Hi David:
Not sure if you remember me from the Norwalk Continuing Ed class you "taught" several months back. I also took a few classes with Randye in Fairfield in which you were kind enough to intervene to ensure she would be available on one particular date. Currently in the "career training package," and next step is a private coaching session Thursday with Eric Rath.
Anyway, as someone whose been in the marketing business for more than 25 years and worked with a variety of companies...

I would just like to thank everyone at the Edge Studio for giving me the wonderful opportunity to be a part of the Evaluation Placement Program. I enrolled in the Investigate Voice Over Workshop with Kristin and learned so much about the voice over industry as a business and what it takes to succeed. Kristen is so perceptive and professional and gave fantastic advice. My private session was with Eric. He is an amazing coach and a one-of-a-kind motivator. I had so much fun working with him one...
