Edge Studio Production Team

A leading authority on voice-over and Chief Edge Officer of Edge Studio, David Goldberg has cast and directed thousands of voice-over productions. He has also coached innumerable voice actors, from beginners to top working pros and celebrities.

David says, “Although I don’t have a golden voice, I guess my ears work pretty well.”

Indeed. David's ears are considered the best in the industry.

He's known for an uncanny ability to provide super-quick yet precise direction. Because he sees things from all industry perspectives, many veteran voice actors rely on him as their mentor. David is also one of the most active directors and speakers, frequently illustrating his practical answers with fun anecdotes from his many years of experience.

Soon after founding Edge Studio as a music-recording facility in 1988, David added spoken voice recording to its repertoire. In response to many clients asking him for voice over guidance, David wrote the first edition of the 'Voice Over Performance Guidebook' in 1992.

Since 2000, Edge Studio has focused exclusively on spoken voice, and is now one of the world's premiere voice over production, casting, and training facilities.

Clients and agents rely on David's ability to pinpoint the right voice actor for their production. Voice actors rely on his ability to help them find their full potential, benefiting from his perception, straight-forwardness, production savvy, and those acute ears.

People and companies that David has worked with at Edge Studio include: Nickelodeon, Disney, Pixar, DaimlerChrysler, The US Postal Service, Scholastic, IBM, The United Nations, countless radio stations, National Public Radio, ESPN, Discovery, Mel Brooks, Joan Rivers, Eartha Kitt, Tom Brokaw, John Ratzenberger, Denise Austin, Mark Linn-Baker, and scores of leading Broadway and TV performers.

Edge Studio remains one of the country's most acclaimed voice over facilities, offering voice over production, casting, and education.

As Director of Production at Edge, Anne oversees our casting team, production, recording, and editing teams, and ensures that all our work sounds awesome! She has been involved with production since 2007, working with clients such as Honda, Lego, the National Parks Service, Samsung, and the National Institute of Health. Her expertise runs the gamut from eLearning and educational projects, to animation and video games, to commercial broadcast spots, and much in between. While her focus remains on voice-over production, Anne has acted as vocal talent and copy writer for a number of audio endeavors, giving her a unique perspective on the production process.

Before joining the Edge Studio family, Anne graduated from Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, where she studied theater performance and production. She worked with theater companies around the world before focusing on work with a number of audio studios across the city. At Edge Studio, she strives to make each step of the production process easy and enjoyable for her clients, while providing spot-on deliverables at the same time. As much as Anne loves audio, she loves working with the people around her to get the job done.

A native Midwesterner and graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, Andrew Warner moved to the Big Apple to work in arts and entertainment. He brings all of his skills and experiences to bear as a member of the Edge Studio team. Andrew has produced short films, counseled students and overseen projects at prestigious educational institutions including The Juilliard School and Interlochen Arts Academy. In all his operational responsibilities, his ultimate goal was to give students the tools necessary to becoming successful performing artists. In addition, he has worked at prominent post-production houses like Company 3, where he was a Production Manager working on commercials for a myriad of products including Progressive, Weight Watchers, Dos Equis, and Apple.

In his free time, Andrew is a rather serious film buff, found more often than not at various theatres around the city, basking in the glow of the silver screen. He also has an extensive background in performance, and can be seen on stage with various improvisational comedy teams around NYC. Among his more deliberative creative endeavors, Andrew has written screenplays, short fiction and comedy sketches, and has a degree in Art History & Archaeology.

An entertainment and voice-over marketing professional with an impressive career and equally as impressive experience, Chris Allen adds passion and creativity to the voice-over community. He has contributed to a broad spectrum of advertising campaigns ranging from superhero films to genre defining Academy Award and Golden Globe Award winners. He has served as executive producer on music featured in theatrical trailer campaigns for 20th Century Fox, A24, Disney, Lionsgate, Marvel, Paramount, Sony, Universal, and Warner Bros. Many of the campaigns Chris has contributed to have garnered industry recognition at the Clio Entertainment Awards and Golden Trailer Awards. He was Director, West Coast Operations for a bi-coastal voiceover talent management firm. And he represented some of the industry's biggest trailer voices and many other artists who currently serve as network voices for ABC, AMC, CBS, CW, FOX, FX, NAT GEO, NBA TV, NBC, NFL, and WWE. And all that knowledge and creativity helps the Edge Studio team support the wide VO community.
