Thanks for everything. Working with EdgeStudio was a completely rewarding experience. The training sessions with David and the other coaches were invaluable. Everyone at the Studio is down to earth, friendly and so helpful. I walked away with a fantastic demo that I couldn't be happier with, as well as the confidence to start marketing myself for work. Thanks again! I'll be in touch soon about ordering copies. Sincerely,

Jaime Saginor

David, 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...

John Blackburn

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...

Sharon Rich

Hi, David, I'm writing to complement you on the team and studio you put together. it's always a pleasure to work with everyone on your staff - and with the coaches. ok, i also like the lollypops - and the cookies when the home baked ones appear.... i've worked with Tom, Judy, Roy and now with Paul. they're all great coaches, each one with a very different in approach. i'm working with Paul at the moment and find that his approach makes me even more aware of the "science" of voice-over......

I studied voice overs with a few other people before I found Edge Studio. I wish I had found Edge first. No other studio or teacher comes close to offering everything you need to get into Voice Overs like Edge Studio does. I've trained, recorded in a real studio, worked on all kinds of copy, produced a demo, and learned how to market myself. Edge Studio has made me feel very confident that I can succeed in the Voice Over Industry! Thanks again Guys!!!

Brett Beyer

David is about the best I've ever seen at picking out what details - sometimes seemingly inconsequential nuances - can make big impressions on your prospects, your clients, the target of your marketing programs and more. I did a voiceover demo at Edge Studio with David Goldberg. My demo turned out great, David was honest about his evaluation of my abilities and his direction to improve my delivery was great. If you can deal with constructive criticism, it's the right place to learn. If you...

Ted Morgan

:) Thank you David!!! I really am happy to have access to such helpful advice. I appreciate how blunt you are! It's really what I need! Hope your week is great.

Laila

My name is Todd Fleming and I have been doing voice over work for about 3 years. The experience that I had with Edge Studio was absolutely amazing. I worked from the DC studio with Kerry Miller and Brad Smiley. Kerry sat down with me, critiqued my abilities and devised a plan of action. Both she and Brad were friendly and honest. They taught me everything that I know about voiceover. I also completed a tele-training course with David that was extremely informative and beneficial. David's...

I just wanted to express my gratitude for my session with you this afternoon - I've learned a lot and will start practicing tomorrow morning. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your feedback about both my voice and how I read (when I read correctly) - this has been really helpful in confirming to me that I am choosing a new career that is a good fit for me. I'll call the studio this week to look into a session with Kristin and I'll carefully read the description for the Industry Know...

Don't need to be "out there" to be familiar with Edge Studio.? I live in Las Vegas, and have done several phone consults with the top guy: David Goldberg.? Worth every penny.

David, Thank you so much. I can't tell you how pleased I am with my demo & with Edge Studio in general. As a complete novice in the business of voiceovers I had no idea what to expect and I was skeptical & fearful to say the least. After working with you through the intensive workshop, private training, and finally producing my demo I now have an amazing demo that I'm psyched to market and it's all thanks to you. Your honesty and professionalism throughout has given me the confidence and...

John

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.

You guys are the best. I really appreciate it. Thanks,

Hi David, He loved the audition and I got the job. Any ideas on the average rate for a 60 sec dry read spot? Especially since I have to pay to get the two spots recorded. He's currently updating the copy and will get the final versions to me shortly. Thanks for your help!

Ian

Thanks Dave, and remembering everything you've taught me I can hit the one word several ways ... FANtastic, fanTAStic, or with a Yiddish slant "fantasTIC?" Of course, with some creative allowance I can change it to a very natural "FAAAAbulous!"

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...

Sally Almeida

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.

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.

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 must say, the staff at Edge Studio go way beyond the definition of "passion" or "devotion" to their students and the VO business...I'm truly impressed:). They are so fabulous that I wish I worked for Edge!

Laila

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...

Stephen

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.

David Steyn South Africa

Hey Lara- Thanks. AND thanks for hooking me up with Jay. He's fantastic; exactly what I needed. Thanks again!

-Rick

Hi, David, Just a quick note to say I loved the class very much and will put to use everything you told us. I also want to say that I have enjoyed working with everyone I've met at EDGE and am so glad to have found a place that can help me move forward in vo work. All the best to you and everyone at EDGE ... Regards,

Constance George

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...

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...

Gary

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

David, Thank you for the VO advice you gave me last week on pricing the job I had on the table. I did wind up taking the work for Keeler Volvo and applied your pricing advice. As always you are a resource I am glad I can count on. Since taking your course and making my demo tape I have recovered my costs and am now in the profit from the work I have obtained!

Amy (Geragosian) Fox Internet Business Developer W

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

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...

A few years back, I signed up for your voice-over classes at Edge Studio. Your teachings and advice enabled me to land several jobs, and, being the voice for our businesses

Margaret Gloria, CT

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...

Anthony

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

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!

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. I have read over & printed out almost everything from...

Hi, David! Just returned home from spending an entire day at EDGE STUDIO (NYC) where I took two separate workshops: The audio book marketing workshop with Grover and the documentary style narration workshop with Paul. Both workshops were excellent and I left with so much new and highly useful information. Thanks for always being so warm and friendly, and especially for your encouragement and for staying in touch with me. Warmly,

Leslie

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,...

Michael Schmitt New Jersey, USA"

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.

"I moved to NYC 15 years ago as a musical theatre actress. Then I was just a trained actress that could speak well but I had no idea that there were other ways I could express myself as an artist combining the skills of acting and my speaking voice. I came to Edge Studio and met David Goldberg who took my potential and honed and coached me and believed in me. His ears have guided me into an awesome career. Because of Edge Studio and David, I am a voiceover talent in NYC. I have voiced cartoons,...

Lisa Adams

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.

Alan The Other Side Voiceovers by Alan Bowser 914

I love receiving your voice-over newsletter and read every word, taking the advice offered and applying it to my career in broadcasting.

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

Hi David. I want to thank you so very much for the help and encouragement you gave me since the day I took my first workshop. Having just cut my first demo, I have some work to do to get started, but what I have learned over the past few months has been invaluable. The honesty and candor, without being crushing to my self esteem worked very well for me and I know I have improved measurably since day one. I have already used many of the techniques I learned, in my work of recording prompts for...

Jean Sandler

Thanks David, I had a great, and learned a lot in a very short period of time. There is no way I could have accomplished the polish I now feel I have, if I had not done the training at EDGE. Tom was wonderful, and has a great personality. He and I hit it off right away, and of course that helped to make the entire process very comfortable and relaxed right from the beginning. Tom was complimentary when deserved, but also very candid with criticism. Just the right blend. Between my great initial...

David, As always, you are brilliant. I've got some CDs to burn and cards to print! I will probably be the only VO guy there. This is SO helpful. Thanks again. You rock.

James

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...

Mitch Hanks

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

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!

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...

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
