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...

Hi, David!
It was terrific to be a part of the class attending: Voiceovers From
Home, Marketing, and Telephony.
I found all the classes exceeded my expectations. I got the most out of
the Marketing Workshop...you gave us a wealth of information, most which I
hadn't previously learned.
In the future, are you planning a workshop on making a demo? I know there
is a wealth of info about it on your website, and you and your staff are
so accommodating, but was wondering, nonetheless.
Thank...

If you are looking for a pretend expert who calls himself an expert because
he says he is. Don't choose Edge.
If you are looking for a charlatanto do your demo who will charge you double
the going rate to produce it then pick copy that is either dated or
in-appropriate for your age and style, don't go to Edge.
Choose Edge if you want to work, that's right, remember that four letter
word?It pays your rent, your phone bill, your cable bill, and medical.
I chose Edge. I did all the things I'm...
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.

I would also like to recommend David Goldberg of Edge Studio. I found him through another WIFV member's referral, and have been very happy with his work and company. He teaches a great class that's also very affordable and is extremely helpful in getting you to demo level (and getting it done - very important!). His phone number is 888.321.EDGE and although he's based out of CT and NY, he runs classes down here a number of times a year.

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
Thank you very much!
"From production manager Gina Kijek, outsanding voice-over coach Judy
Kameny, to of course the one and only David Goldberg, the entire Edge Studio
organization is quite simply first-class.
When I first arrived at Edge Studio last year, after four Manhattan VO
coaches and six years developing myself in the VO business, I learned more
in forty-five minutes of coaching with David Goldberg than all experiences
previous.
David's many professional talents and strengths,...

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
David:
I just wanted to take this time to thank you for the help I received at your studio in New York City. Roy, John, and Kristen where very helpful over the last 6 months in creating my commercial/narration demo CD. Everyone made me feel comfortable and confident. I'm very excited to send it out and start my voice-over career. I look forward to working with your studio throughout my career.
Thank you again,
Brian R. Winans
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!
I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for your newsletter and notices that you send via email. The information and leads are a great inspiration.

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...
Stew Mosberg
Lately several people have asked me about getting into voice-over and I always refer them to you guys.
Work has been good lately and all that relationship building and networking is paying off with more work. Last month was my best month ever. And Edge has had a large part to play in my success.
So I've said it many times before but I'll say it again. THANKS for all your doing!
All the best,
James
Hi Dave, (Hi Gina)
So far my demo has been very well received by my friends and colleagues.
I do have to say that my "demo day" was by far the best day ever as I start my journey into a voiceover career. The skill and patience with which my demo was produced was amazing. I really appreciated the time taken to involve me from a technical production standpoint. Not only that but it was just plain fun. The whole process from the workshop and evaluation, to speaking with Gina from time to time...
Steve Smith
The feedback I'm getting from demo would make you proud! I keep hearing that it is "wonderful".
In fact, I've had offers from three agencies, within just a few weeks.
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...

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...

And I would also like you to please let David know that I really
appreciate the talent and expertise that he and Edge Studio in general
provided me during the training and demo production process. I used to
work in New York as a model and commercial actress in the mid to late 80's
and I worked with a lot of really talented people and I must say that
David is awesome. He is a...

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...

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
Hi David,
Thanks to you and the Edge Studio team (especially Eric, who is a great coach) for all the training, producing, and engineering work that went into my demo. I now have it loaded up on my website, www.mikeborruso.com, and I'm very happy with the way it sounds.
With my website and marketing materials complete (thanks to your excellent marketing foundation seminar and marketing forum), I'm now ready to get down to business!
I also enjoyed your VO from home seminar on...
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...
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...

I feel very fortunate to have found Edge Studio. David and Mike are very knowledgeable, patient, and supportive teachers, and they deliver their instruction in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. They allow students to learn and progress at a comfortable pace and always strive to have them do their best. -I would recommend Edge Studio highly to anyone.

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,

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!
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,
Renee G.
I am happy to write this note David, to let you know what a positive experience working with you and your company has been.
I was concerned before that first seminar started at the Governors House Hotel that I would be sold a package which might not have anything to do with whether I had what it takes to make it as a voice over artist. Boy, was I dissuaded of that notion quickly - it was clear that your skilled observations and assessment were honest. I would know by the end of that session...

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!
John Pruden
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...
Deborah
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...

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...
Pamela
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.
Sara C.
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.
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
David,
I do hope this email address will allow me to convey my appreciation to you
for the time you spent this evening providing such great voice over
learning. While I read a number of articles you have written or been a part
of and I've heard you on my iPod, it was great to hear your voice live (even
if it was over the telephone occasionally punctuated by the occasional
throat clearing and distant children's voices :-)). I found your approach
to be refreshingly frank and direct. Your advice...
Doug de Nance
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
Edge Studio coaching staff succeeded in preparing me to produce a terrific demo. (Two demos, actually) Their feedback was constructive, informed, and candid. What's more, I found no one (Discmakers, Mixonic, etc.) who could beat their small job CD duplication and printing rates.
Craig Phillips
I really enjoyed all the practice sessions I took with Judy. She was very
patient with me and she helped me to learn all the technical skills that are
needed to do well in voiceovers. David was wonderful during my demo
session. He gave me a lot of direction and good advice.
The music that he found for my demo was just right. I am looking forward to
participating in the marketing class. Edge Studio helps you every inch of
the way, which is really what you need in this business!

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...

Hi David,
Just wanted to say thanks for the great workshop on Saturday. I got a lot out of it and hope to continue to learn and do it. You are very professional, but also did a wonderful job of entertaining us. I can tell that you have a very good ear for voices, barely a word was out of our mouths before your comments. I felt as though my previous classes were just for fun, this was serious. And I still had a great time. I plan on practicing on my own, but would like to do another...

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

Hi Lara,
Just wanted to say how good those tele-classes were on Saturday, so grateful I found out about them. It was really helpful to see how many different ways there really are to read the same script that are equally good. No one right way. It was also fascinating to hear Bruce evaluate us all (many people in the last class) one by one, and also insert helpful tips and anecdotes. Glad I was able to record it all. Guess it's a never-ending learning experience. And fun.
Thanks much...
Thank you for sending me the newsletter, I have found the info both interesting and useful. I am a singer basso and have been going to voiceover training for some time now and find the subject of voice and voice-overs fascinating. Once again, thank you.

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

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!
