Doriane teaches private voice over lessons as needed on a per student basis, free from the limitations or commitments required through package deals. Experience has shown that while some students are already established in the voice-over industry and simply need professional tweaking in one area, a beginning student may need extended lessons before cutting his or her reel.
To further illustrate, Doriane has successfully coached new students who had already been heard on scores of Promos but needed help in booking commercially, while other commercially successful new students required Doriane's instruction in booking Promos. For the beginning students, Doriane realizes the importance of the initial meeting with an agent or casting director, and for this reason she works with each student until fully prepared.
Too often Doriane has acquired students from package deal teachers and has had to re-teach everything they "learned", while helping to salvage their reels. Private lessons are 60 minutes of intense work.
Not booking those mp3 auditions from home? The doctor is in. For those of you who are one of Doriane's students with your own home set-up, and want to make sure your auditions are spot-on before sending, you can reach out to Dor via email, send your mp3's to her, and she'll go over your audition with you. At that point, you can either re-do and re-send back to Doriane for another listen, or if you're confident you've taken her re-direct and have accomplished what she suggested, send it on to your agent, or whoever requested it from you in the first place!
Doriane also teaches her former students this way who just want to start analyzing their reads. Back and forth until Doriane hits 60 minutes, and that constitutes a full session.
(These analyzing "sessions" are billed by 15 minute increments.)
FACETIME/ZOOM SESSIONS:
Long before COVID, Doriane had been teaching her students from all corners of the world. First it was Skype. Now it's FaceTime and Zoom. For over 25 years, she's been figuring out how to balance the time difference between NYC and England, Hong Kong, Dubai, and the list goes on.
she makes you WANT to learn, and laugh while you’re learning! I still get coaching from Doriane, after all these years as a successful voice-over actor!
