Testimonials & Success Stories

Hi David,
Just writing to say thank you for the tele-class you did last night. I don't know if you remember me, but I met you last fall at an evaluation class. As always, I appreciate your candor and skillfulness in coaching new talent (like me.) Again, thanks for all your guidance, honesty, and kindness.

Once again today's session in Act- Up "doubles" was great ....I think this was much harder than being on your own in the booth ....I know you have to think about all the techniques when you are on your own , but to have another person with you there is far more to think about and I felt like I had run a marathon ? I think if you can master the art of doubles it opens up areas of voice over that maybe some people would not think of venturing .I don't know if other people walk away from your classes with this thought in mind , but for me being able to learn all areas of voice over has really opened my mind up to further challenges that I may never had thought of doing ....and stops you from going in just one direction .....These classes are two hours of great inspiration ......
Many thanks

Good morning, David!
I wanted to thank you for an excellent Auditioning workshop last evening. It was extremely helpful and informative. After the tele-class I had to do an mp3 audition for one of my clients - the timing was perfect!
Thanks again and hope to speak with you soon! I'm going to call the office and express my interest in the Talk with Pro workshops - what a great idea!
Warm regards,

Sally

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 York". Wow, how flattering. This was just such an amazing experience and I'll tell you more in person.

Hi David
Thank you for the "Keep it Real" Tel-a-workshop last night. You're a great teacher with very detailed feedback. It was interesting to hear others, and to be able to critique their work. Learning what to listen for is very useful when you then turn around and are on the other end! I'm excited. I can't wait to get my demo so I can start looking for work. I'll be attending an Edge Studio workshop in New York in the coming weeks.

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the Act Up on documentaries, David. It was very helpful-- nice to know you thought my read was excellent (after I got over my usual LOUD first delivery), as I've been practicing a lot, using your book as a guide. And now I know I am definitely interested in documentary work, too. Your typical first-rate workshop!!
Thanks again,

Joan Barere

Just wanted to say that you taught a great class at Edge the other night. It was really helpful and the level of the students was really great too.

Brett Beyer

I had a great time and learned a lot in your class at Edge Studio last night. Today I called my friend Tony Chiroldes and thanked him for sending me to Edge. Also, thanks for giving me the funny copy about the "Sleep Number Bed" it made me chuckle as I fell asleep last night!

Thank you for a wonderful class tonight. Karen and I had fun. The copy you gave us was perfect, since we are good friends. I would love to see a class geared to promos. I'll see you again soon.
Fondly,

This was a great starting point for my career. I'm thankful that David was so helpful and honest with me. I know with hard work and determination I will break into this business, but another crucial thing I need is the industry know-how and connections that Edge has in voice-over. This is the best place to train. I love the monthly copy reading classes. It helps to prepare me for work with producers.

Evelyn

Thank you so much for your excellent tele-course on breaking down copy. I really benefited from the feedback and I thought Katrina and Eric were great resources. So far, I've learned more in the two classes that I've taken with you than I did in the Master Class I took with (competitor

re: Danielle's Progress Workshop:
...It was the most info-packed workshop they'd taken. We sure covered a lot of ground in 2 hours.

I just wanted to tell you how good it was to see you again and I thought the class was great!
Thank you for your keen ears, David, this is exactly what I need.

See you Monday,

Another Winner! I took the Act Up Workshop Pre-Sentencing in NYC on Saturday. It was another fantastic experience from Edge Studio. Our coach did a great job and I also got to meet Kristin Price who taught the Marketing Foundation class I took a few weeks ago. Looking forward to more enjoyable classes! Thanks.

David,
Thanks for the great copy reading class this past Wednesday night! It is a valuable, essential, and fun way to keep on top of and hone my skills. Also, the booth time is invaluable. Practice at home is great, but getting in there really lets you know how much you progress. I feel I can really see my comfort levels improving and that the extra time I've put in to practicing at home has really started to pay off in the last few weeks. I wouldn't be able to tell without the feedback and experience of the class.
Lastly, congratulations on the new studio, it looks great!
Thanks for everything,

Jason Epstein

Hi David,
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed meeting everyone at the audition workshop today. It was amazing- I learned a lot in just 2 short hours, and feel better about my next audition, whenever and wherever that may be! It was definitely worth the trip into NYC on a crazy, windy, rainy day.
Thanks,

Paula Cococca

HI EVERYONE -
Just wanted to add that if you haven't been to the Progress workshops – they are invaluable experience. I've been a professional actor for 20 years and I'm amazed that David offers a class like this. It says a lot about his love for this art form.
Like Scott said, "It's a jewel."
See you,

Jerry

Hi Danielle,
I just finished listening to your seminar on "Live the Dream", and, as with all my experiences with Edge, it was terrific. The hour + was filled with information & tips for the vocal artist. Most [non-Edge Studio] seminars have been very good but only include a few ideas spaced over the hour, but this was jam packed. I always enjoy dealing with Edge because of the value you offer.

Thanks again,

Sharon

Hi Sylvia,
I wanted to reach out to you to thank you for the very informative and helpful Voice-Over class I took with you at Edge Studios on May 2nd. The audition techniques you taught enhanced my skills set. Also, I certainly appreciate the attention you give to each Voice-Over talent needs and your feedback. In fact, I woud like to thank you again for noticing the stress I place on my vocal cords when speaking, and for recommending I take voice therapy. This shows you truly care! I'm looking forward to taking additional Voice-Over classes with you! -

Wendy Urena

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful class on Saturday thru Edge Studio. It was a nice class - learning about the copy was great and very helpful. I will definitely take more classes thru Edge and hopefully, I'll be lucky enough to take another with you. I really liked your style of teaching and the way you deliver the feedback. Thank you again and I hope that your week is a good one.

Hi Sara & Cathy,

Can you let David Guzzone know how much I appreciated his coaching in the last 2 weekends of the "technique spotlight and audition ringer" workshops? I feel he has done an excellent job helping his students learn how to break down copy and connect better with the scripts, by asking some fundamental questions. I now get it. He has a way to help you understand how to find the concept and play it. I've worked with another VO coach (non-edge studio) and did not quite understand what I understand with David. I've learned alot from him so far, and look forward to working with him in the future.

Thank you. You guys are "awesome"
