Testimonials & Success Stories

I participated in a Webinar class on July 17 with Noelle Romano. I thought It was an excellent class for total beginners to voice over, or those, like me, who have some experience in one limited area of voice over and want to see how we would fare in the industry.

I think there were 7 of us in the webinar, and it seems that 7 or 8 is about the maximum number for this type of class. It would have been unwieldy with more students participating. I enjoyed it very much, and the feedback will help me as I work toward setting up my home voice over business.

Thanks again to Noelle and everyone at Edge for offering a great resource for us "newbies."

Hey guys,

I took your Online "Investigate Voiceover Class" with Noel Romano and I have to say it was fantastic! I'm looking forward to continuing the program, but even if I had discovered this was not for me I would still have enjoyed the class. It was fun both in the instruction, the practice, and working with others at varying levels of experience.

I recently took the Investigate Voice Over class taught by Noelle Romano. I really enjoyed the class. I was nervous at first, but her calming technique allowed my voice to come through with less tension. I was also very impressed with the evaluation, I felt it was very honest.

Dear Anne, Anoush, et al.,
I had a great time even though I was nervous as hell. Everyone in the group brought something unique and personal to the table. I never cease to be amazed at the power and beauty of the human voice. Thank you for your encouragement. This is something very important in my life and I am very grateful.
It is a lovely late summer day about 10 miles from you here in New Jersey. Please go out and take a wander for me.

Many thanks again and I hope to see you all very soon

David Goldberg et al,

I have to tell you that the Investigate Voice Over Class went well beyond my expectations. The pre-read materials and overall presentation delivered by Noelle Romano was spectacular.

The IVO Evaluation prepared by Noelle was extremely thoughtful and complete. Not to mention it was delivered in record speed which shows real commitment and dedication to her work.

The only thing I might have asked for is an MP3 copy of the program so as to be able to review Noelle's comments against my delivery.

Thank you for such a complete program.

I will definitely spread the word of the extraordinary value of this class and pre-requisite for furthering a VO Career.

Just wanted to comment on the, "Investigate Voice..........." Webinar that I took April 16, 2013:

This was a great class! I was amazed how Noelle kept all of us engaged for an entire 4 hours!

The method and manner in which she listened, made suggestions and assessed our presentations was both clear and concise. She made me feel comfortable when I had to read my script assignments and when she critiqued my delivery. She accomplished this with warmth, professionalism and a little humor.

I learned a few things; and I am excited about taking other classes. Thank you, Noelle.

Camille

I enjoyed the 4 hour webinar on last Thursday evening. I thought it was engaging and eye opening. I appreciate the feedback I received as it relates to my potential and I will definitely continue to utilize many of the tools offered by ES!

Have a great day and thanks!

Hello Randye,

It was an delight meeting you yesterday. Your enthusiasm is contagious and passion for your craft shines through. I've done my share of public speaking/teaching and I know how exhausting it is to keep your energy level high and students engaged. I would be lucky to hone my VO skills to one-tenth of yours. Brava!

Please accept my sincere thanks for an enjoyable and most informative four hours.

Ann

This webinar was very enjoyable. The four hours sailed by! Noelle Romano was very professional and I found her direction very insightful.

Jeff

Just a quick note to say thank you for a very enjoyable webinar. I confess to being a bit sleepy initially (it being midnight on my side of the pond) but I was incredibly energised within 30 minutes of the class. You have a wonderful way of running an webinar, a real skill in my humble opinion and the way you come across is the perfect blend of professional, approachable and welcoming. Obviously you're a specialist with a wealth of information about the voice over sector, which is what I hoped for :) but your warmth and humanity made the three hours fly by.
Thank you! I feel that I've learned a great deal and had fun - and what more can a girl ask than that!

Suzanne

I truly enjoyed the recent four hour webinar "Investigate Voice Over" led by Noelle Romano. Her personal insight into the business helped clear up several misconceptions I had about voice overs prior to the session. She used her experience as a talent and as a coach to guide us all to explore a variety of vocal possibilities, some of which we may not have originally considered. The webinar was both informational and creative. I especially enjoyed the one on one feedback she would give each participant after delivering their reads. I would highly recommend this course as the first step for anyone who is considering a career in voice overs.

Monique

Shortly after beginning my voiceover training with Edge Studios, I entered a national voiceover talent search. After stiff competition with talent from New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Memphis, I was selected as one of only eleven finalists. I didn’t take first place, but came away a winner after being offered a contract on the spot. It was the coaches at Edge who encouraged me to let go, trust my instincts, become one with the copy, and deliver great reads. They brought out the best in me and I am now a working voice artist. Even with this opportunity, I consider on-going professional development essential to perfecting my craft and look forward to future sessions with the coaches from Edge.

Bill Lord

Great webinar/class. The instructor was excellent (Noelle). She was very patient and had great feedback for everyone.

Ivan

The class was amazing, a lot of information that I needed to know and pertinent to what I needed.

Instructor was amazing and explained everything thoroughly. Enjoyed our interaction throughout the class!

Overall, out things into perspective and gave me the tools so I can decide to go forward.

thank you

Nadiya

Really enjoyed the webinar last Sunday. Noelle is a super teacher! Learned a lot about myself and what I can do, and learned a lot about strategy and approach to this new (for me) industry. Looking forward to more reasonably priced publications from you in the future.

Tom

After years of wanting to see if V.O. might be a plausible avenue for me, and being nervous to take the plunge, I finally just took the $99 workshop with instructor Danielle Quisenberry. It was FANTASTIC. In dramatic improvement over an introductory V.O. class I'd attended elsewhere, this class size was intimate (5 students) so in addition to being fun and comfortable we all got a great amount of time and attention to work, adjust, and discuss; the technique guidebook is so clear and useful before even arriving, and once there, having it applied and explicated by Danielle was so clear and tangible and thrilling, all of her feedback *concrete* and *actionable*, I did indeed feel like I had a better grasp of the technical aspects in just one session, and had a much richer idea of how/whether/what part of the skillset and market I might be suited for and find most rewarding. I enjoyed it tremendously, find the prospect of working on this technique (and possibly industry) more exciting and heartening than I've felt in years, and I definitely recommend EDGE (as represented by Danielle) over alternative studios/courses.

Hello,

Two thumbs up to webinar, Investigate Voice Over, on Thursday
September 16 from 6-10 pm. Noel Romano was fantastic! It was a great
experience learning more about the craft and business of voice acting. I really enjoyed hearing other people read scripts. I had my favorites. I mostly enjoyed when It was my turn to read copy because I was learning from Noel's direction. Also hearing Noel's feedback to each person was very helpful because each feedback was information of something new to learn and apply. I enjoyed the entire experience. Thanks for making the webinar happen. I look forward to many more training sessions in the near future.

Baisy

I just want to thank you for last Monday's consultation. I truly enjoyed myself. I was very much at ease. I read my evaluation and you were spot on.

JoAnne

Hello there!

First and foremost, I want to thank Noelle for her fabulous class. It was a lot of fun and the 4 hours flew by. I loved learning a little about the industry (and have honestly been devouring the technique guidebook ever since!) and getting my feet wet with the different styles of copy. It was fun to hear the other students' takes on the same script and how the same sentences can sound so distinctly different depending on each of the 4 vocal components.

I enjoyed Noelle's upbeat, positive style of feedback and all of her tricks she used to help explain different concepts. I found them to be very useful and creative.

I loved the extensive evaluation notes. They were very encouraging and made me really want to pursue this further. I thought I would be decent for narrative and children's books/characters etc, but to hear that I'm recommended for commercial is interesting, fun and exciting -- I just need to figure out the finances as I would love nothing more than to do this full time eventually.

Anyway, thank you again for the class. I hope and plan to continue on and be a part of this fun and dynamic industry!

Angela Olson

I recently participated in the Investigate Voice Over class and had a wonderful experience. It provided everyone with valuable tools, about Voice Over, information about the industry and experience with reading scripts. Kristen Thorne was an outstanding instructor who was professional, knowledgeable and nurturing when providing honest feedback about our reads. I look forward to taking additional classes at Edge and building my career in Voice Overs

Gary Stern

Hello,

I attended your IVO class with Noelle on Thursday 7/17/2014 at 7pm. I enjoyed the class very much. I was not sure what to expect going into it, and was pleasantly surprised.

Here is what I enjoyed about the class:
1. We were able to participate in a group session which allowed for us to hear and learn from each other.
2. There were times that each person read different pieces, and not just the same material. I felt that it allowed me the opportunity to take a chance and not be influenced by others.
3. The length of time was appropriate.
4. The feedback seemed to be honest. I genuinely appreciated that my 'weaknesses' were pointed out. I did not feel like at any point during or after the class that I was just being fed a line so I would sign up for more training.

A big THANK YOU to Noelle and the entire team that puts the course together - I look forward to "seeing" you in training!!

Liz

I just wanted to thank David for providing some excellent insight on what to expect. A great list of do's & don'ts especially for us that are just starting to consider if this the right path for us. I especially loved the little reading exercise as well. It was my first time having a person give me actual direction and Its a challenge I really enjoyed. Well that's it I guess, I'm not attempting to brown nose anybody but I truly want to thank all of you who are involved in Edge Studio. I had a great experience today

Kevin R

The webinar was so informative and well done keeping all the participants engaged. The 4 hours just flew by. Danielle was a great teacher and explained everything in terms that were understandable even for those who are very new to the process of discovering the voice over industry.

Loved everything about the webinar and am looking forward to continuing my education with Edge.

Hi Randye
Thank you for very professional and enjoyable introduction to VO and evaluation – you’re right on!!! I will be away this next week and on return will schedule Technique 101 and then schedule a private evaluation session, as you suggest.

Stan

I recently participated in a training webinar with Edge Studio. It was an absolute joy and ease. noelle romano did a phenomenal job too. I will be considering some more time with Edge Studio as each day is a step closer to a dream.

TWIMC,
I just wanted to say something about the class. I know it's a business and I know you're there to make money, but Noelle was so good that I wanted to mention it. She was warm, personable and professional with a very comfortable, informative presentation. But most importantly, the instructions she gave each of us was very clear and easily understood. After the class a few of us chatted and we felt that we all really got her direction and heard the others successfully apply it in their subsequent readings. Now we're ready for the big time… JK JK (I learned that from my kids, they would be so embarrassed)! Me, I have a lot of work ahead, but it will be fun and if I at least make back the school tuition I'll be happy…
