Are you a working actor without a Voice Over Demo?
If so, WHY? When you can get a competitive, 1 minute commercial and/or narration demo
produced right in your own backyard for THOUSANDS LESS than anywhere else in the country? And, so you know what to DO with your demo,
a 4 hour Marketing Seminar is INCLUDED!
Once you have the proper training, I will produce your custom written demo for a total of $1,400 ($1,500 if you are within a 2 hour drive from Ohio.)
I will drive to where you are to direct you in your recording session
This fee includes EVERYTHING - 8, NOW 10, 1 hour writing and rehearsal sessions with you,
the recording session fee and all copies of your demo (mp3, wav and 4 cd's)!
Actors with existing, professional VO recordings can also get a demo
produced with your material and some new copy if needed.
The same rates apply if we record extra copy.
However, I will NOT edit home-made recordings.
Your recordings must be high quality, professionally sweetened spots. The fee to edit those existing recordings is $600.
I've produced dozens of voice over demos for over 10 years in Cleveland and Pittsburgh. The actors who are marketing those demos are getting work!
1st- We meet at my home (or we Skype if you are not within a reasonable driving distance)
where I will have you read several pieces of copy
to asses your skills, style, ability to take direction and overall vocal quality.
2nd- We meet again and begin writing copy based on an interview process
that I do to find out which products you love,
memorable experiences you've had and other stories that
we can tweak for typical but original voice over copy.
We write between 10 and 13 pieces so that we have
plenty to choose from. We record them all,
even though we don't use them all in the finale demo.
3rd - After about 3, 1 hour writing sessions, we begin rehearsing
your copy to find at least 3 ways of delivering it. Clients look to you
for ideas, so we start working on that right away.
4th- You are given free recording software
if you don't already own it, so that you can rehearse
from home and send me mp3 files to critique between sessions.
5th - When we agree that you are ready,
we set up a time to record at one of the best
recording studios in the country - I've worked at them all
and they are all within a short drive from where you are!
~Here are testimonials from a few happy students and demo clients~
I’ve
done lots of television and film work, and even some voice over; but
the world of voice over is so specialized, that, in spite of working
with other voice over coaches, I never felt like I was ready to do my
own demo. After just a few hours with Jean it all fell into
place! I would not hesitate to use Jean for special projects as well
as to continue to keep my newly found skills in tune, and I highly
recommend Jean’s classes for beginner through experienced actors! Linda
Castro(award
winning actress with co-staring roles on ER,
The Shield, Cold Case, and Veronica Mars
Jean worked with me to create and produce the best possible demo reel
based on my abilities, and it still stands out. Her knowledge of many
aspects of performing and voice-over, not to mention her sense of
comedy, combine with her professional approach to make her tops at
whatever she endeavors. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Lissy Gulick
I
have been wanting a better audio demo for years. Jean Zarzour's
expert advice and coaching have been invaluable in helping me to
create one. Thanks, Jean.Pete
Ferry
"Every
actor remembers that moment of inspiration when they caught the
"Acting Bug". For me it was the first time I met Jean
Zarzour. She not only gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams, she
got me my first Hollywood Agent. I truly believe it is because of her
confidence in me that I have been a full time working actor in
Hollywood for more than a decade now. She is much more than an acting
coach, she is a career builder." - Jonathan
T. Floyd
Jean
Zarzour has been instrumental in my professional career. Her guidance
and support has been instrumental as I have used what I have learned to
become “The
Voice of the Lake Erie Crushers” Minor League Baseball team, done
numerous business videos and voice over content for our businesses and
others, and frankly have become incredibly comfortable using my voice to
make people smile. Without Jean, I would not
have achieved any of this. I recommend her highly.E. David Marinac, President and CEO ABC Packaging Direct Home of StandUpPouches.net (www.standuppouches.net)
After three very poor demo's, I went to Jean and got the best demo. I have received great feedback on it and one producer hired me immediately. Jean was able to get the best out of me and show me what I am capable of. Chris Vartorella
Whether
you're just beginning or, like me, need to have the rust polished off
your skills, Jean can take you from printed page to a ready for prime
time MP3 demo. Marje

Jean
Zarzour is the coolest thing since ice cubes! She made me feel
like her best friend the minute I walked in the door which really
helped me to feel comfortable enough to explore what my voice could
do. I have been waiting a long time to talk with someone who
has this much insight into the businessand my demo is evidence that I found her! Thanks Jean!

Interested in Private Voice Over Coaching?
If you are in the Cleveland area, you'll have your
coaching sessions in person, at the home of Jean Zarzour, in Lakewood, Ohio. http://www.jeanzarzour.com for more about Jean Scroll down to So what's the bottom line? for details about these sessions.
Private Coaching Scroll down to PRIVATE COACHING CONTRACT AGREEEMENT for the details on this training Once you have the proper amount of coaching that will give you a competetive edge,
(anywhere from 8 to 24 weeks, depending on your level of acting experience) you will be assessed for the opportunity to produce a 1:00 commercial demo. Training is at a rate of $600 for the 1st 8 weeks and $550 for each 8 weeks after that.
For Demo Rates Scroll Down To 2014/2015 Demo Production Rates They are separate from general technique training!
Each demo is produced with custom written copy,
designed to feature your voice acting strengths.
That's right. There are no "copy cat" recordings here. Your demo is one of a kind and sounds as professional as the best of them!
The benefit of customized copy is that your potential clients won't have to heard the same demo copy that everyone else uses from www.edgestudio.com!
(it's a great resource for pratice copy, but not for your demo!)
That means that no one will ever know if you're a newbie or a seasoned pro.
Even if you don't live near Cleveland, Ohio, there's an app for that!

Zarzour Fees
PRE-PRODUCTION
The
fee below is for copy writing (about 10-13 spots), coaching, practice
recordings you do from home and send to me between 1 hour sessions,
directing you in the studio recording session and post production
editing once the individual spots we record are “sweetened”. If
this is your first demo, you will need 8, 1 hour sessions which can
be scheduled in 2 hour sessions or 1 hour sessions twice per week or
however you’d like, but you want to be sure that you have the right
material for your skill level and that you are delivering the
material with the optimum variety of reads.In
order to be sure that your demo is one of a kind, we write all of the
copy for approximately 10 spots that show your versatility as a voice actor. This also ensures that producers are not hearing copy that
they've heard on dozens of other demos. It DOES happen because people
accorss the country use the same copy resource at www.edgestudio.com!Not
us. $600
(or $700 if you are over 100 miles outside of Cleveland) paid in advance to the order of Jean Zarzour.
Recording
Studio Fees
The
fee for up to 2 hours of recording time, 4 hours post
production, 3 cds, an mp3 and wav file for web use is$400 paid
directly to the studio immediately after recording your demo.
POST
PRODUCTIONAfter
we record your "dry voice", the engineer edits the length
of the spots, adds sfx and music (sweetening) and then sends the
cuts to me for final editing to produce a 1 minute demo. When I am
finished editing all of the material, I send the 1 minute demo to you
as an mp3 file for your review. We make whatever changes are needed
for the finished product and I send it back to the studio to create
the master copy. It usually takes about 2 weeks to make
decisions/edits until we are satisfied with the final
demo.
Studio rates are discounted for Voice Over Demo Clients.
Professional
studios charge other clients between $75 and $200 per hour for their
services. Revisions to your demo are usually done within 4 years
after you produce your first demo and any recordings that you didn’t
use in your first recording session can be used for revisions. You
will not necessarily need a director for a demo revision, but if you
like, you can hire Jean to assist with the revision process
at a rate of $65 per hour.
Maybe you've trained with me and want to know what's next. Or perhaps you are a theater, film or performing artist and are ready take your career to the next level. Or you may be the parent of a bright young artist. Whatever the case, this intensive seminar is for you!
You will learn how to:
• Continue your voice, stage or film acting training • Cultivate a client base and maintain consistent contact with your "fans" and "prospects" • Create marketing tools: headshots, postcards, websites and blogs. Some can be created for FREE • Create a VO demo and acting reel that showcases your niche and gets you gigs • Craft a voice over logo that identifies your "brand" • Package your demo on DVD and online • Use free social media tools • Market your demos effectively in your region, with or without an agent • Choose an agent or compete without one • Decide when to join the union (SAG-AFTRA and AEA) or compete without one • Keep your instrument (voice) & technique in top form before, during & after sessions/auditions
• Audition from your home, on camera and on mic
I want you to succeed!Want to test your VO chops? Jean will record you reading radio copy and critique your performance. Want a professional opinion of your current demo? As time and opportunity permit, Jean will listen to your demo and supply honest and thoughtful feedback.

What You Should Know Before Studying
VO! I am very excited to be in the midst of my 8th year
teaching Voice Acting Classes under the Find Your Voice-Voice Acting
Institute
shingle in Cleveland and at Donna
Belajac Casting
in Pittsburgh. Over all, I've been teaching this work for over 25 years. In
all these years there are a few "constants" that I felt were worth sharing if
you are thinking of taking a voice acting class or producing a demo with me, or
someone else for that matter. Browse this
blog or www.jeanzarzour.com for more information about me and the classes I
offer. In my
experience, people who are new to voice acting/voice over work have many
misconceptions about the work, and therefore, can be prey to scam artists with
empty promises. The most common misconception is that if you have a great
voice, can read and speak English, then you can make a living in voice overs!
How hard can it be for crying out loud?! Harder than you
think. Here is just some ofWhat You Should Know
Before You Study V.O. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT TO LEARN
IN A VOICE ACTING CLASS? Proper breathing techniques, vocal warm-ups, elocution
exercises, body placement, copy interpretation skills, how to train you "ear",
voice maintenance, home work exercises, studio/business etiquette, other
resources for learning and everything in-between toward expanding your voice
acting repertoire for a wide variety of "reads". Where marketing is concerned,
you should learn the best marketing practices for your region. There are
subtle differences in the way that artists in large markets like New York, Los
Angeles & Chicago do things from the way artists in smaller markets like
Ohio, PA & Michigan do things when it comes to agency representation, self
marketing, home studios, websites and demo production. That's just the tip of
the iceberg. If you are new to this work, a group class will offer much more
than private coaching and it is much more affordable.
WHAT SHOULD I BE WARY OF? 1. Any voice over
training that is offered by phone! I don't mean telecasts or other media classes
that only disseminate information. I mean sessions where you are reading
copy and getting feedback from an instructor. They are out there. There are a
dozen reasons why this is a bad idea, but mostly because a good instructor needs
to see and correct how you breathe, use your body and facial muscles, while you
work. Tension is the death of voice work. If I can't see it, I can't correct
it.
2. Any Voice Over school visiting your town for 1 day,
telling you that you have a great voice and can earn a living with only a few
weeks of training. After that 1 day introductory class, you will have to get
the rest of your training out of town and/or over the phone! They charge
thousands of dollars which includes a full length demo that can't possibly
compete in the real world with so little training. Not to mention that these
demos entirely too long and contain little to no production sweetening (sound
affects and music). I've heard these demos from students who come to my class
after an agent told them that their demo won't cut it. This is no way for the
novice voice actor to train. Note: Your demo is
your calling card to the world. It
tells producers that this is the very best you can do. You should never
produce a demo until you have learned and practiced what the pros know about
being a voice over artist. How long do you suppose they spent training? I can
assure you, it was not just a few weeks and they didn't spend thousands of
dollars to produce their demo.
A full length demois a 1 minute
mp3 and/or CD, consisting of 8-13 cuts that you carefully select and rehearsed
with an experienced Demo Producer/Director, and recorded at a professional
recording studio AFTER you have trained for a bare minimum of 8 weeks if you
already have some acting training and much more, if you don't.
A demo produced by any
reputable producer in Cleveland or Pittsburgh should cost you no more than
$700-$900. With Find Your Voice, that fee
includes between 4-6 hours of preparation, rehearsal, recording session,
sweetening (sound effects and music) and post production revisions. If you take
the time to do it right, no one will ever know that you are a newbie and you
won't have to revise your demo for a few years.
3. Beware of an
instructor who has only ever been a director, producer, engineer or ad agency
exec, but has never been a voice over artist - especially if you are new to
this sort of acting. Voice over work is acting work, no matter what you
are voicing. You'll gain much more knowledge from someone who has been
successful behind the mic and behind the desk.
DON'T SOME PEOPLE JUST HAVE NATURAL ABILITY? Even if you are an experienced stage
or film actor, there are specific techniques that you will only learn in a class
or on the job. (but trust me, no one wants to pay you to learn!) Even if you
were born with a warm, rich voice, it doesn't guarantee that you'll be able to
interpret copy with the proper 'point of view' and acting skills needed. Some
of the most unusual voices work behind a mic because, in part, they have learned
to interpret 1 piece of copy in a variety of ways and how to market themselves
like a business owner.
WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE CHOOSING A VOICE ACTING CLASS?
1.
Get a few
books on the subject at the Library:
- There’s Money Where Your Mouth Is: An Insider’s
Guide to a Career in Voice-Overs - by Elaine A. Clark
- Secrets of Voice-Over Success: Top Voice-Over
Actors Reveal How They Did It - by Joan Baker
- The Art of
Voice Acting - by James
Alburger
A book won't teach you how to do voice over work, but it will reinforce what I'm telling you about
training and give you a good idea about the business end. You'll also read great
war stories from the most successful voices in the business.
2. Listen to professional voice over demos so you can
compare any instructor's demos with the ones from the top artists who are making
a living doing voice overs. http://talentdemos.com/female_voice_talent.htmis a good place to start for Cleveland talent demos. 3. If you are
interested in Find Your Voice-Voice Acting
Institute classes, visit http://findyourvoice-voiceactinginstitute.blogspot.comfor class description, demos that I've produced at area
recording studios, class info and more. Now, more than ever, your investment
should produce measurable results, whether you pursue a voice acting
career, or not.

Below is an ad for my Voice Acting courses. But it's a no frills, down and dirty ad. So, don't look for eye candy.
If you've done research about Voice Over Classes, then you know that what is being offered right here in North East Ohio and at Donna Belajac Casting in Pittsburgh, is the most comprehensive course for the least amount of money anywhere in the USA! (Confetti, Marching Band and Stilt Walker here) That's right! The Entire Country! Now, if you would rather pay $2,000-$4,000 to feel you're getting value, I'll be happy to take it! That's what a select number of companies charge for online, phone or 3 day courses. Really! They come through town and offer their 1 night teaser courses at Community Centers, Libraries and Colleges for $40.THEN they sell you the 2-$4000 courses, gushing over your remarkable talent, promising you a glorious career in VO! Well, I wind up teaching many of their former students who were left unsatisfied and feeling ripped off. Now, read carefully...add more confetti and champagne if you'd like to... You don't have to pay that much money for a comprehensive, fun and valuable course in voice acting. You can take my course and learn more than you ever expected in 8 weeks and 1 Saturday, in a real-world environment, from professionals who actually work in the industry. And NO ONE will blow smoke up your skirt or pants about where you stand with your ability. I want you to succeed, but I won't lie to you. The great news is that MANY of my students are making money as voice over artists! NICE! I LOVE hearing their success stories, but believe me, they didn't do it without investing a lot of time, a reasonable amount of money and proven marketing tools. The hard, cold truth is that it is NOT likely that you'll become a working Voice Over Artist in 8 weeks. Probably not in 16 or 24 weeks! Like those of us who have been at this for more than 20 years, you TOO will have to work at it. You'll need to practice in ALL of your spare time, take other acting courses that will aid your voice acting skills, and treat this work like a BUSINESS - a business that sells a product you know better than any other - and that product is you. That's just some of the truth about Voice Acting Work. Learn More at the Next Find Your Voice-Voice Acting Class
