David Goldberg

Recognized as one of the world's leading directors and authorities on voice over, he says, “Although I never had the voice for it, I guess my ears work pretty well.” Evidently so. David's ears are considered the best in the industry, and he is one of the country's most active voice-over producers, instructors, and speakers. Since founding Edge Studio in 1988, he has directed thousands of voice over productions nationally and internationally. His background is unique: He began his career producing, directing and engineering music artists ranging from Mel Torme, John Mayer, Deep Purple, and Jose Feliciano. Not long after, the studio became voice over by day, music at night. At the request of his professional voice over clients, he began offering voice over training sessions in 1991, and in 1992 wrote the first edition of the copyrighted “Voice Over Technique Guidebook”. In 2000, he transformed Edge Studio to produce, cast, and train exclusively the spoken voice. Voice talent rely on David's ability to help them find their full potential – they benefit from his personal perception, straight-forwardness, detailed production savvy, and acute ear. Clients and agents also rely on his ability to pinpoint the right voice talent for their production. He has directed and engineered for renowned clients such as Cosmopolitan, Nickelodeon, AOL, Duracell, Disney, Gatorade, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Special Olympics, Celebrity Cruise Lines, Gillette, Fila, Pixar, Prudential, DaimlerChrysler, The United Nations, Lucent Technology, GE Corporation, Pitney Bowes, IBM, The US Postal Service, Scholastic, The U.S. Army, Microsoft, Earthlink, and many others.

Alan Sklar
Audiobooks, Documentary, Medical, Narration, Promos

Alan Sklar has been a freelance voice actor for over eighteen years, voicing radio/TV commercials and VNRs, narrating everything from audiobooks and documentaries to thousands of corporate and medical video projects. If you see a :15 TV spot with a scary deep voiced announcer selling a new murder mystery, ("available wherever books are sold") it's probably A.Sklar. Alan has been recruited to narrate over 100 audiobooks, among them, "A Civil Action" by Jonathan Harr, "Black Hawk Down" by Mark Bowden and the delightful 1898 yachtsman's classic "Sailing Alone Around The World" by Cap'n Joshua Slocum. Other challenging audiobook assignments were, "The Kennedys: America's Emerald Kings" by Thomas Maier and the first Hannibal Lechter novel "Red Dragon" by Thomas Harris, both of which earned Alan the prestigious Earphone Awards from AudioFile Magazine. He narrated eight murder mystery novels by Lawrence Block, including "Enough Rope" (the 900-page mother of all audiobook detective story collections.) Alan has also narrated many of Sikorsky Aircraft's marketing and equipment maintenance videos. When the Generals in The Pentagon watch a video introducing a new Sikorsky helicopter model, you-know-who's doing the talking. NASA, too, produces videos to show The Congress, The White House, and The Pentagon how they are spending taxpayer bucks. Alan was enlisted to narrate several of them. Voiceover work is Alan's second career. For twenty younger years he was a wholesaler distributor of paint and paint specialties in the NY Metro Market. When he and his partners sold the business, it employed 95 people. It was during his "paint period" that he discovered and developed his selling and marketing talents. He has often been overheard confiding that selling is more fun than acting, and often shares his marketing techniques with actors and freelancers in other industries in seminars which he leads. ...

eLearning, IVR in Multiple Languages, Medical, Narration, Technical

One incident in particular convinced Pamela that her voice was memorable: when she called friends she hadn't spoken with in five years, her friend Randy knew her immediately. And all she had said was "Hello, Randy?" When asked how he knew who it was he replied "Oh, I would know that voice anywhere!". In 1995 a $25 "Make Money with Your Voice" course from the adult continuing education department at the local high school was the beginning. Luckily that led Pamela straight to David Goldberg and Edge Studio, of NYC, and she's been training with Edge Studio ever since! Her first voiceover job was for The Discovery Channel, providing Russian accented English for three different aged female characters ranging from teenaged to elderly. Pamela's clients and jobs have been amazingly varied: more Russian accented voices for The Learning Channel, narration of a fundraising video for the Humane Society of Greater Washington DC, portraying the very calm and professional Dr. Jane Coleman in the face of crazed patients for the American Psychological Association, the voice of eTrainer for Factiva.com, the entire elearning training site for professionals working with the developmentally disabled for the State of Colorado, PSAs in Spanish for the US Department of Migrant Worker Safety, narration for military base commanders for the US Fish & Wildlife Department, podcasts for Ralph Lauren, Discover and Time Magazines, and BabyTalk Network, sales training materials for Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Spanish narration of printing press training material for XEROX, English and Spanish PSAs for AmeriCorps after Hurrican Katrina, French and Chinese accented English for promotional materials for Mercer Healthcare Consulting, German narration of a swimming pool cleaning device MaxiPool, the inflight video narration for international immigration procedures for Delta Airlines, THE VOICE in English and Spanish for three wireless companies, and countless IVR prompts in English, Spanish, German, and French for US and European companies. Pamela has no fear of difficult subjects: having been an IT professional for 25+ years gives great confidence when narrating technical material. Medical/anatomical material is a particularly favorite subject. Having taught and trained both adults and teens lends credibility to her elearning and training projects. A native Southerner (sounding like one when it is required!), to whom Southern Hospitality is a way of life rather than a stereotype, Pamela brings genuine warmth and emotion to her projects that touches the listener. What more can you ask your words to do than touch the listener? Next goal: audiobooks! ...

Stevie Vallance
ADR, Animation, Dubbing, Foley, Lip-Sync, Pre-Lay, Training

Three time Emmy Nominee, One-time Emmy Award Winner, Animation Voice Director (Madeline, 02), Stevie Vallance, stresses the importance of character development above all.

With the trend in visual / audio production moving rapidly towards ANIMATION and commercial voice over (multimedia games, web sites, digital broadcasting), Stevie's 'fall-on-your-butt' techniques prove that making brilliant creative choices comes from 'heart and soul' and that the 'mistakes' are what give birth to the brilliance that will land YOU the part. Her FUN, fast-paced style makes Stevie one of Canada's most sought-after teachers. Stevie earned the moniker 'Cartoon Queen' for her prolific work infusing life and personality into characters on thousands of animated productions including 'Mouse' on Reboot, 'Spydra' on Inspector Gadget, 'Share Bear' on the Carebear movies, 'Dixie' on Donkey Kong Country, 'Natsuko Fuji' on Inuyasha, 'Gnat' on Creepie and 'Tigrerra' on Bakugan. In 2002, she received an EMMY Award for directing the dialogue and music for the beloved Disney classic, MADELINE, for which she also portrayed the voices of 'Miss Clavel' and 'Genevive'. Stevie served as Voice Director on Teletoon's hit show Best Ed, while voice producing 2007 Emmy Nominee Growing Up Creepie.

Amy Snively
Creator of FaffCon

Los Angeles native Amy Snively brings her experience as a copywriter, actress, animator, and stand-up comic to her career as a voice over artist. She quit her day job to do VO full-time about five years ago. Some of her recent credits include HGTV, Allergan, HP, Kodak, Merck, and Meijer. While she’s always glad to put her comedy chops to work, she spends a lot of her time behind the mic voicing corporate communication projects including technical and medical narrations. “I guess I’m kind of a geek,” she admits. “This stuff just fascinates me. I get paid by check, but sometimes I feel like I should get university credit, too!” Last summer, after realizing the voice over event she really wanted to sign up for didn’t exist yet, she (with the help of many of her voice over colleagues) launched FaffCon: the voiceover unconference. FaffCon 1 took place in Portland, OR last September and was a smash success. FaffCon 2 will be held in Atlanta February 25-27, 2011. FaffCon is a participant-driven, peer-to-peer professional development event for working voice over pros. It’s an Open Space-style unconference marking the first time this format, which has been used successfully in other creative industries for over 20 years, has been brought to the voice over community. ...
