Testimonials & Success Stories

Dear Edge Studio,
This weekly contest is without doubt one of the most, if not the most useful training aid I have ever participated in! It is the only forum where I get to listen to the entries submitted by my voiceover colleagues. I try to listen to all the entries, and I listen to the winning entries and read your review of them multiple times. The most frustrating part about auditioning for me is not having any idea how the other entries sound. It’s impossible to judge one’s own performance if you don’t have any other interpretations to compare yourself to. Now with this competition I have points of comparison. Of course I don’t want to try to school myself to sound just like the winning entries, but reading your reviews and listening to the winning entries is a wonderful learning opportunity. Congratulate whoever came up with this idea, and congratulations to all the folks at Edge Studio who make it happen.
Thanks,

Liz Bergstone

Hello David: I just wanted to tell you how much I like the weekly contest that you've all started at Edge. I get to compare my vocal performance to the winners, and I start to hear things that I'd never heard before.

Hi David,

Among all of the great resources your offer in the free career center, my favorite is the weekly recording contest. It's a lot of fun, keeps me practicing, and exposes me to new scripts and genres. I enjoy listening to other voice talents' interpretation of the weekly script and giving them my thumbs up. Recently I discovered the feature allowing me to see who has voted for my recording too, which is cool. And the Friday results and critiques are so valuable -- like free, mini coaching sessions! I study these closely and try to learn from them. They often reinforce the very techniques I've been studying in your book and learning about in the Technique 101 workshop, and they usually include other tips and tricks-of-the-trade as well. So, thanks again for the free career center and, especially the weekly script contest! I'm feeling so confident that Edge Studio was the best choice for my voice over training.

It's great to hear so many other vo artists all working from the same material. Especially for someone getting started like me, it’s a great way to see how my efforts compare alongside more seasoned professionals. It’s easier to see objectively what I need to work on - and sometimes even what I do well!

Thanks, by the way, for holding this contest. The specific feedback you give to winners, and especially the general feedback to all, is really valuable to read through
