xxInvestigate Voice Over In-Studio: 3 Hour Class
I loved this class! I was a bit nervous but I loved David !! He was so helpful and I was so happy to hear more about edge studio!! Will definitely be working with them -
xxInvestigate Voice Over In-Studio: 3 Hour Class
The class was a really really good. David Goldberg was awesome, he gave us so much useful information about the industry of Voiceover and he was patient in answering all of our questions. If I had one suggestion it would be that we got to get on the mike and record a bit more, other than that the Investigate Voiceover class was a useful tool to see if we had what it takes to be a player in the VO industry. I also love how the evaluation email came promptly the next day and in my case it was a favorable one, also followed up with a phone call from Edge studios at the time that David said we'd be receiving a call. Very very prompt!! I look forward to beginning my VO career and look forward also to having great success in this field. Thank you so much!! JoAnna :) -
xxInvestigate Voice Over In-Studio: 3 Hour Class
David's presentation of the voice over industry was honest and informative and his feedback on each class participant's read, enabled us to experience what all is involved in being a working voice talent! Class participation was great! Moving forward, I view myself as a voice over talent in training and that I have a great future awaiting as a professional voice actor. I am so enthusiastic to begin my training with Edge Studio! Also, I walked away feeling Edge Studio is a trustworthy company with the some of the best and brightest talent in the field working for them. -
xxInvestigate Voice Over In-Studio: 3 Hour Class
David did a good job at answering everyone's questions and making sure people got time to read/record despite the time. He was very informative and candid, and he wanted to make sure that we all were on the same page when it came to industry things as well as technique. Overall, it was a great experience. -
xxInvestigate Voice Over In-Studio: 3 Hour Class
The class was fun & informative. -
xxInvestigate Voice Over In-Studio: 3 Hour Class
* I thought the class was about what I expected. * For a 3 hours class, 1 teacher and 10 students is prob too many. * I think maybe if there was another teacher or a 1 teacher to 5 student ratio, it would work better * I think the evaluation could be a little better and more detailed -
xxInvestigate Voice Over In-Studio: 3 Hour Class
A wonderful class learned a lot about the industry as well as a few pointers regarding my own voice and the type of voice that I had myself. I recommend this for anyone who isn't sure about the industry as well as a few simple things to learn about themselves. -

I had a great time! The session was very informative, and the assessment was very thorough. -
xxInvestigate Voice Over In-Studio: 3 Hour Class
I was very hesitant to take the group evaluation since I was pretty shy and didn't know how I would measure up. I literally MADE myself do it despite my nervousness and it was the best decision! You really do benefit from hearing others record and it was so much fun! The instructor was very good at directing and he was funny. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I feel like I learned so much just in the evaluation. I can't wait to see how much I improve with training. Highly recommend! -
