Kendra Baker

Client Account Manager

Kendra Baker graduated with a degree in Communications from West Virginia University and has utilized what she learned about communicating ever since.  Kendra is someone that “sweats the small stuff,” which has come in handy in the Production Department. She constantly rechecks details to ensure that projects will run smoothly, on time, and on budget.

She started her career at Edge in the Education Department, working hands-on with new and established voice over actors. This experience has helped her understand and respect voice over from both a client and a talent perspective.

Kendra currently lives in Washington, DC, with her husband.  She was born and raised in a small town below Pittsburgh, PA. She also spent almost eight years in Toronto, so she has a great love for our northern neighbors, just not their winter temperatures. When she is not working, she likes to hang out with family and friends and is obsessed with home design. She loves decorating rooms for herself and others and is constantly switching things around or thinking about her next project.

In 2011, Susanne Pinedo jumped into her car and drove from her hometown of Miami, Florida to have a love affair with NJ/NYC and the relationship is still going strong. She is an actor and writer and obtained a BFA in Theatre from Florida International University. As a former publicist for the theatre and entertainment industry, she has an infinite passion for providing outside-the-box public relations and marketing ideas to other artists. Susanne believes that honesty, ingenuity, and progressive thinking are essential to crafting an effective communication strategy, and she strives to honor this conviction in all of her work. She is very proud to be an Edge Studio Alumna and has taken almost every webinar we offer! Susanne also went through the Two-Demo Program and her Telephony English language demo and her Commercial Spanish Language demo were both produced at Edge Studio. Every day she advises students in reference to training that she herself has undergone and she loves that.

As a voice over artist, some of Susanne Pinedo’s clients include Marvel Comics, Audramada Productions,  Eastern Connecticut State University, and Eastway Medical Clinic & Urgent Care.

Sara Huber

Director of Finance

One day shy of her eighteenth birthday, Sara Huber made her way across the Hudson River from New Jersey and settled into the place she always knew she was meant to be.  After graduating from NYU with a dual major in Economics and Journalism, Sara began a career in the fashion industry, working alongside a then-unknown designer, learning how to build an empire from the ground up. Through an eclectic resume of other roles, Sara learned the ins and outs of bookkeeping, tax filing, international logistics, operations and how to source just about anything. Replying to a temp ad one day, Sara was sent from the agency directly to meet with Edge Studio Managing Director Andrew Warner on site, then invited back to meet owner and founder David Goldberg the following day. Proving she was meant to be a part of the team, she received a call with an offer just under 50 hours after submitting her resume. Two months later, she became a permanent member of the Edge family.

As perhaps the sole Edge Studio employee without a performance background, the only chance of catching Sara on television will be if she receives an invitation to compete on Jeopardy! Until then, Sara Huber enjoys doing the New York Times crossword puzzle (only on Saturdays) and traveling around the world, from Finland to Fiji to France.

Joshua Wise

Office and Marketing Lead

Joshua Wise hails originally from Massachusetts, where he spent his entire young life cultivating a passion and devotion to the arts. A singer since age three, an actor since age five, and a pianist since age seven, his years of musical theatre (and eventually show choir) and choral training afforded him in-depth vocal training and he soon graduated from Pace University in New York City with a BFA in Acting.

During his time in New York City, Joshua has gone on to music direct and compose for Fringe Festival works, graced the Off-Broadway stage both as a performer and a stagehand, led and directed an improv comedy troupe, and narrated for live theatrical presentations. Outside of New York, Joshua has been a professional musician for the better part of four years, playing the keys and singing all over the northeast in weddings and events, as well as becoming the fourth member of Boston/Providence-based band Left of Love. He also has taught voice, piano, and acting lessons in multiple states and Puerto Rico.

As a voice actor, Joshua has also provided his voice for both live and recorded narration for a number of presentation events, hosted several orientations, English dubbing for foreign language film, and promotional material for coffee houses, music stores, and more. Aside from work and the arts, Joshua’s favorite things are spending time with his love, friends, and family, and has begun to develop a real soft spot for cooking.

Andrew Feliciano

Engineer

Andrew Feliciano has been an audio engineer for more than 10 years. He received a degree in computer science in 2001, but with a background in music, he gravitated towards pro audio and found a home in voice-over. In 2008 he recorded Beau Bridges for the audiobook version of “An Inconvenient Truth“, which won a Grammy that year for Best Spoken Word Album. He will finish a graduate degree in business later this year and continues to explore new technology in audio recording and computers. Andrew is an avid rock climber and outdoor enthusiast.

Megan Huggins

Education Advisor

Megan Huggins grew up in Georgia, where their incredible theatre teacher inspired them to love storytelling and the arts from a young age. Megan earned a BFA in Theatre Performance from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, and used those theatre skills in many creative ways upon graduating. Megan has had the pleasure to work with children’s theatres like Nashville Children’s Theatre and Treasure Trunk Theatre, using their quick thinking and calm attitude in the chaos as a Teaching Artist to help students as young as 8 months and as old as 15 years develop the confidence to express themselves through art. As an amateur voice actor, Megan has recorded audiobooks about 16th century Venice and created corporate instructional guides for luxury pet care products. They enjoy being a part of the Edge Studio team and continually learning about the voiceover industry.
When they first moved to NYC, Megan was unsure about the confusing trains and constant noise, but has grown to love the vibrancy of the communities and people around them. Megan loves connecting with and helping the community of students at Edge Studio develop their voiceover skills! Outside of the office, Megan enjoys getting lost in a good sci-fi novel, exploring the different neighborhoods around the city, and caring for their many apartment plants. 

Paul Ketterman

Engineer, Editor

At the age of five Paul Ketterman (who was named after Paul McCartney of the Beatles) memorized Steve Martin’s, “A Wild and Crazy Guy” which he would recite in living room performances for family members and neighbors. Thirty years later Paul finally moved to New York City from Hampton, Virginia to pursue his dream of performing comedy. One time he even made twenty dollars doing it. Paul has honed his administration and audio video skills in some pretty diverse venues such as record stores and video stores, editing military training videos, television production for MTV and The Discovery Channel, owning his own UPS store and working for Tory Burch.

Paul Studied Improv at The Upright Citizens Brigade, The PIT and The Annoyance Theaters. When he’s not holding down the fort at Edge, he can be found around the city performing with his improv team GLORY HAIM. Paul is also a voracious collector of things. He collects The Incredible Hulk and X-men comics from Marvel Comics and Swamp Thing from DC Comics. He has a VHS collection of over 1000 horror and cult films from companies like Troma, Wizard and Midnight Video. A large vinyl record collection focused on genres like Shoegaze, Punk Rock, Metal and his favorite band The Cure. Paul also has a collection of Ibanez and Fender guitars which he plays poorly.  Paul has a certificate in mindfulness meditation guidance and encourages everyone to learn how to meditate for at least 15 minutes a day as it can greatly reduce depression and anxiety. Paul would also like you to know that he loves tacos, dogs and cats, and podcasts like W*F with Marc Maron and The Last Podcast on the Left. Paul Ketterman lives in the Bronx with his wife who is the film coordinator for Grand Central Terminal and their cat Pumpkinhead.
