Thanks again for the great reel! it sounds awesome (as i knew it would) you guys do fantastic work! THANK YOU -- you're f__king awesome dor. and that's all i have to say about that. XOXOXOXO- KMR

The thing that sets Dor apart from other coaches is that she's a technician. She has a very specific understanding of what it takes to be a professional voice actor in today's rapidly changing industry and how to get you to live up to your fullest potential as a professional artist. If you're willing to put the work in, it's only a matter of time until you reach your career goals with her. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants to take their work to the next level.- ATLAS

Doriane was an amazing coach through and through. She took me as green as they come and made me so much better with not only my voice acting but my actual acting on camera. She cares so much and puts so much energy and effort into every session we did. I learned so much about myself and she instilled confidence in me when i needed it most. I would not be doing the things now with the entertainment industry without Doriane’s guidance. She has made me just a better overall man and professional within this world and I’m very grateful for that. You wont go wrong with her as your coach.

I can’t say enough about Doriane; as a coach, as a mentor, as a career facilitator— I literally wouldn’t be anywhere in the industry without her instruction and guidance. Before we stated working together, I wasn’t booking a single thing… But after studying with Doriane, I managed to book my first gig a couple of years ago for a WORLDWIDE campaign! I couldn’t have done it without her. She takes “Mom-ager” to a whole other level and will ALWAYS go to bat for you. She always knows how to take your auditions up a notch and really help you give honest and natural reads to nail your scripts. My acting has improved so much because of her and I’m super grateful. We even got my kids repped! I can’t thank her enough. Love ya, Dor! - IFM & Linda Stopfer

Doriane is amazing! As someone who struggles with Dyslexia, cold reading auditions have always been a huge challenge for me. Because of her tools and teaching methods, I now have unparalleled confidence to tackle any copy. I can’t recommend her enough.

Doriane has the remarkable capacity to pull the absolute best out of you every session. She has an incredible breadth of experience from which to draw and it shows not only in her teaching but in her knowledge of the industry from bottom to top and her ability to get you heard by the right people. On top of all that, she has a huge heart and it is so very nice to have a cheerleader and a coach all wrapped into one.- IFM

During the pandemic and the theater shutdown, I wasn't sure what to do with my acting training. Luckily, a friend recommended Doriane. She helped me hone my skills for a VO career, as well as opened my eyes to a whole new world of work, and how to navigate the field. And best of all, she never BS'd me. Now, having taken many fantastic lessons with Dor, I feel much more confident in my abilities, and have booked several projects, with undoubtedly many more to come! Love ya Dor, thank you!

Dor is an INCREDIBLE coach and mentor. I feel like whenever I am recording an audition or working on a VO project, I have a lil’ Dor on my shoulder guiding me along and helping me through it. Her perception and intuition are razor sharp, allowing her to see exactly how you specifically can improve and grow. The training relates to all forms of acting and the more work you put into it, the better the results will be. Much love for this teach!

I used to poo-poo commercial and vo auditions. I thought they were a crapshoot--either you were right or you weren't. I assumed that there was NO technique involved. Dorianne brilliantly proves otherwise. Her clear and inspired technique has not only made my commercial work more successful, it has helped me in all of my other acting work.- BUCHWALD

I can’t say enough great things about Dor. She’s not only a brilliant teacher but also an even better person. She truly cares about her students and is invested in their success both in the voiceover world as well as in life. I literally owe my entire acting career to her and I am beyond thankful to have had the opportunity to study with her. There is no doubt that she will take your career to the next level just as she did mine. Thank you and love you Dor!- BUCHWALD

Doriane, you are a rock star of the VO world. Ms. Elliott has a brilliant was of making such a delicate craft so easy to understand. Not only is she an amazing musician, she incorporates her slue of skills to guide you through a step by step process of how to bring Copy to life. I booked my first VO gig thanks to her and use many of her teaching in other facets such as on camera and on stage. One lesson and your hooked.!- BUCHWALD

Thanks so much for helping me get my reel made! I'm very excited about it! It has been such a terrific experience studying with you. I really appreciate your dedication and attention to all your students, and your boundless enthusiasm for supporting their work. So thankful that our paths have crossed :)

Doriane is my spirit animal. Her voice over technique is sure-fire - it works. She's loyal and generous: she calls in her students for auditions, for example. Her counsel and support of my overall career is invaluable. I always know that when I'm stuck, I can rap it down with Dor and she'll help me get to my gut feeling, which is usually the way to go. She's given me opportunities and connected me with some great people in the industry, too. I love her dearly and trust her implicitly.- ATLAS

Coaching with Dori is like getting a full career overhaul. She knows the ins and outs of the business, pushes you to be your best and helps you figure out what is unique to you and how to market yourself within the industry. She makes you feel confident, she has a super chill vibe and knows exactly what to tell you so you nail your VO auditions. Since working with Dori I have booked more work and I feel like I'm finally figuring out my sweet spot in this business. I love my reel too! It shows my personality, hits all of the types of jobs that I go out on and gives CD's a professional look at my voice.- BUCHWALD

Doriane is an absolute treasure! In the time I've worked with her, my confidence and knowledge of the field has grown exponentially. Her approach to teaching is so accessible as an artist, and she is able to tap into who you are and always pull out a stellar performance. She has helped me understand what I want out of my career and how to go about getting it, which is absolutely invaluable when navigating this industry. I really can't recommend her enough, and my reel just sounds so AWESOME!!!- BUCHWALD

I have absolutely loved working with Doriane! Her knowledge and understanding of the business is incredible! Her simple and effective coaching techniques have made me a much more flexible and confident VO actor. Recording my VO commercial demo with her was a smooth, collaborative and FUN process! I felt extremely prepared when we stepped into the studio and LOVE the final product. Doriane cuts right to the point in her coachings while creating a comfortable and playful environment to explore and grow. She is AWESOME! Thanks Dor!

Doriane was the first coach I studied with upon moving to NYC, and my experience with her has been absolutely invaluable. She's an expert in her field, a gifted teacher, and an all-around great person that will look out for your best interests. They don't come better than Doriane!- IFM

Doriane gives you all the tools you need to feel completely comfortable in the VO booth. Working with her is a great experience and positions you to do the work you know you're capable of doing. She's a pleasure to work with and hugely encouraging.

Doriane was the first coach I studied with upon moving to NYC, and my experience with her has been absolutely invaluable. She's an expert in her field, a gifted teacher, and an all-around great person that will look out for your best interests. They don't come better than Doriane!

Doriane Elliott is the BEST! Her technique doesn’t help with just Voice Over but TV, Theatre, and Film. Doriane’s advice on agents, headshots, reels, and everything you need to be a successful actor is priceless. After every class with Doriane I come out feeling more confident and prepared for the auditions to come. I couldn’t recommended a better coach who really believes in you and pushes you to be your best! I count my blessings for the day I met Doriane.

Doriane is the best! I am so lucky that she was my introduction to the world of commercial voice over. Her training is comprehensive, so I feel like I have a system in place to approach whatever gets thrown at me. Not only that, but she is truly passionate about helping her students succeed. Thank you Dor!

I was referred to Doriane, and she was everything I hoped for. To the point, encouraging and fun, but not afraid to give me the criticism I needed to succeed and improve. I'm so thankful that she has been, and will continue to be, my coach.

Dor is the absolute best! She teaches you tangible steps to use to successfully tackle any form of copy and even helped me pick out my home studio equipment! Do the work she gives you, and you will not be disappointed. We had so much fun creating and working on my Reel - by the time we recorded it was smooth sailing. She Directed, and we just played with a variety of takes. Her sound editor is amazing, and the studio she uses in NYC is beautiful. She’s actively helping me find representation right now and really cares about her student’s success. You will end up with a versatile V/O skill set for any job, an amazing Reel, and have a trusted Mentor for life!

Dor is the city saint essential to my success. Not only has she helped me refine my VO technique, but she also advised and guided me through my choices in agents, managers, artistic family, day jobs, and much much more. She is a delight to work with, chat with, and confide in. Ever supportive and creative, she’s worth every penny spent on her lessons.- ATLAS

Doriane is amazing!! First off, Dor genuinely cares about her students and makes sure they have a solid foundation and technique. She has such a down to earth and direct approach to her coaching that I love and I always feel like I get something out of our coachings, she has a magic touch! Together we put a reel together that I am super proud of and could not be more grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Dor. She has helped me to navigate unfamiliar territory in this industry and gain the confidence I need to work in voiceover. Thank you so much Dor, I’m so proud of the work I’ve done!

Doriane is the svengali of voiceover. She has taken me from a raw, unformed, nervous, but hungry talent, to a confident, flexible, voice actor. Her deep belief in me, got me through those times of doubt that I was on the right path. Her deep knowledge and love of her students is fierce. She’s been there and done it. I trust Doriane implicitly. My demo reel is amazing! Thank you for your amazing coaching, love, patience, and guidance in this journey. I could not have asked for a better coach. Love you.- IFM

Doriane Eliott doesn't just teach you, she helps you learn to teach yourself. Her strategies and methods are practical and useful not just in commercial VO, but in any genre with a script! Doriane's lessons have given me the tools and confidence to walk into any room and give my best, and I'm so grateful!

Time with Doriane is invaluable. She worked me hard, but did it whilst creating the most rewarding and safe zone to develop within. As an actor with many years experience in screen and stage acting I have learnt an abundance of new skills in these sessions. Doriane breaks the VO technique into a brilliant method that provides the actor with a solid blueprint when auditioning for jobs. She also shows great interest in who you are as a performer, how to market yourself and really wants you to succeed. I have most definitely added a new string to my bow. Cheers Dor!!!

Dor. You're a master of your craft. At every lesson, it's evident that learning from you is learning from the best. You not only shared your unlimited knowledge but you also generously guide my career. You taught me to embrace my real voice and use it! Together we developed my range. Oh, and you're insanely fun! Dor you've truly made me love voice over.- BUCHWALD

Dor you are the best! You are sweet, talented, and brilliant to work with. You reinvented the way I approach voice over acting. I don't know what the hell I would do without your support and help!- A3

If you haven't worked with Doriane you have no idea what you're missing. On top of being an excellent teacher whose instructions will forever influence the way you approach your work, she is an excellent PERSON! You meet a lot of people in this business that say a lot of things supposedly in your best interest; but Doriane is someone who TRULY CARES about her students- and not just their careers, their lives. Her no nonsense style of working is always a breath of fresh air and a reminder to keep grinding, no matter what. She is a Champion for her students...and I am very proud to call myself one of them.- BUCHWALD

Doriane is the "Pimp My Ride" of coaches. Need I say more? Okay, I will. With her no BS attitude and honest feedback, she helps you completely overhaul how to approach commercial copy, and in turn any acting text for that matter, with her proven system of teaching. It's an entire process of breaking down, studying, and comprehending the linguistic structure of dialogue. I highly recommend her as a coach, because not only will your voice over technique improve, but your abilities as an actor will level up as well. I hate boasting, but I've used her methods to book several gigs in the time we've worked together, and casting directors keep calling me back.

Doriane is an inspiring creative partner throughout the process. She's knows how to help craft the demo so you sound like your best and most marketable you! I am so eager to share it with the world. I feel it finally represents me.- LINDA STOPFER

I would (and do) recommend Doriane to anyone who is ready to kick their career up a notch. She gives straight forward advice, direction and makes sure her students are ready to book. She's amazing at taking all of the qualities that her students have and tailoring a career plan that works for each unique student. She knows that each of her students in the audition room are representing HER, so she makes sure her students are ready to kick butt.

I've truly loved working with Doriane! She is one of the most energetic and no-nonsense but also incredibly supportive and knowledgable teachers I've had. She really knows and has a killer ear for what works and knows exactly how to steer you towards it. I'm really thankful!.- KMR

I was completely new to the VO industry when I met Doriane. She turned me from a naive newcomer to the complete package. What I learned from her has helped me, not only in voiceover, but in all aspects of the craft. Thank you, Dor, for everything!- BUCHWALD

I started a career with my voice when I was 17 on the radio in Pittsburgh. In my 20’s I also did voice over work and became “the voice of the Warner Bros. Movie Line.” By the time I was 30 I was wearing a suit and tie and was “out of the game.” I can’t thank you enough for coaching me back in. You helped me acquire new skills that I really needed and equally important helped me bury skills that are out of date (the deejay announcer!). Love my reel and hats off to you and your incredible coaching and mentoring.

I am extremely fortunate to have met Doriane. Where to begin describing how amazing she is? She is a masterful teacher, of course: before I started with her, my approach to commercial copy was almost random, but Doriane (lovingly) whipped me into shape and made me a vastly improved voiceover artist. Thanks to her, I now have confidence in my reads, as well as having gained a disciplined, very specific way of working that was completely new to me. She has a highly refined technique for helping you to make any piece of text your own. Trust me, her process works, and it applies to all forms of acting. Training with her, you learn how to quickly understand a piece of copy, ingrain it in your system, and strike the right balance in your performances with respect to voice, cadence, and attitude. Above all, she teaches you how to be flexible, so that you can redirect on a dime. It is only by doing the nitty-gritty detail work that you ever really improve at anything, and she somehow managed to make that part of the process fun for me rather than having it be a laborious slog. As if all that wasn't enough, it turns out that Doriane is a saint. She is genuinely invested in her students, and is one of the most caring people I have ever met--I have seen it over and over during the time we have worked together. There is a reason why her students enthusiastically recommend her at every turn. I am happy to be one of them.

She is the perfect balance between supportive and honest, experienced and approachable. From day one, you know that if you put in the work she's going to fight for you. She's the real deal and it has really been awesome working with her!

Dor took me from 0 to 60 in just a matter of months. I've been acting for camera and stage a long time, but my few brushes with v/o had gone badly and left a lot of scar tissue. She got me out of my head and handed me this fantastic v/o toolbox. It's a common-sense technique that I can open up anywhere anytime. Thanks, lady!- BUCHWALD

First person I refer anyone to who is interested in learning the art of VO. She's been my coach, mentor and friend for over ten years and I wouldn't have half the career I have now without her!- ATLAS

The six months I worked with Doriane were more than I could have expected. She is a wonderful voice over coach, but she also helped fine-tune my brand as a manager would, focusing on the process of figuring out who I was as well as achieving a fantastic final product. With her guidance I created a TV/Film reel, voice over reel, changed my look, got new headshots, redid my website, found community in new acting and improv classes and most importantly feel utterly prepared to be a professional in any working environment.

Dor is the best you could ever hope for in a coach — incredibly passionate and forever patient. And the care and genuine interest she has for each of her students extends far beyond stellar VO training. I'd feel lost in New York if I didn't know I had Dor in my corner.

Doriane is an excellent teacher! Her guidance and tutelage has been an absolute game changer for me! I'm extremely grateful to have crossed paths with her. She very clearly and effectively communicated to me my weak points and what I need to work on as a performer. I went ahead and re-did my VO reel with her after doing coaching for an extended period of time. I feel much more confident in my skill set and reel than ever before. I also feel like I have a much more solid handle on my creative process, and it has certainly been reflected in my work. You're the best Teach!!- COAST TO COAST

I will be forever grateful for getting connected to Dor and studying with her. I had been getting the, "you should do voiceovers" for years but I knew it took a lot more than a nice voice in the real world. With Dor, I got the training and confidence I needed to feel I could actually do this. With Dor's training and technique and the kickass demo she helped me create - I was getting auditions and callbacks right from the start! Mike Meth - Creative Director

Dor is hands down the best in New York. Great teacher, great tutor, great reel creator, and great person. thanks again, Doriane- THE MINE AGENCY

I discovered, after she plucked me from a casting session several years ago, Doriane has a precise ear and infectious enthusiasm. She has natural ease of technique and great expertise in the field. I've learned new ways to approach the material and, I hope, a better ear to guide myself when Doriane is not on the other side of the glass. Now I walk into a casting session with greater poise, skill and confidence. But above all, she wants her students to succeed and is vigorously proud of their achievements when they do.

Hi Dor, just wanted to let you know about the session with comcast. the copy was BEEFY! I had 50 min to lay down 2 pages of dense and technical copy. thank god I got the sides before hand and was able to prepare before the session. but even with all the time in the world I never would have gotten through it without your training and techniques. they literally saved my job. there were so many times in the session that they asked me to do something and I know just what to do because of your coaching. what's more I heard some feedback from Comcast saying that I nailed the tone and that they were really happy with it, and I got called in again for pickups. I'm soooo happy, this is such a great start. thank you so much Dor,- CESD

Doriane Elliott is the most thorough and genuine coach I have ever studied with. She is insightful and passionate about all things acting and instills a confidence in her students that is truly remarkable. Working with Doriane has brought my performances to a new level. All I can say is, thanks Dor, you're the best!" Sincerely, thank you so much Dor,

Thank you SO MUCH, Dor. That was FUN! I really really appreciate it. Let me know if you want to come and see me in Phantom of the Opera. Would LOVE for that to happen...I can see what ticket options are available. Thanks again, Dor! You really are the best!!- A3

Doriane is a talented and inspiring teacher with a simple technique that simply works.- A3

Doriane Elliot is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She's honest, funny, and expects a lot from her students. She gave me the tools I needed to gain representation quickly in NYC. Thanks to Dor, I can take on any audition, any time, anywhere. Plus, I have the flexibility to take direction and adjust on the fly. I'm proud to be one of her students.- ACCESS TALENT

Dor is an incredible teacher. She's caring and funny but more importantly, she's damn good. She gets you were you need to be as an actor and voice artist. A gift to actors!- INNOVATIVE

Dor is the absolute best. She took me on as a student with no acting background and was wonderfully patient with me. If you're serious about wanting to work in the voice over field then go no further, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not doing so.

It has been an amazing, amazing time coaching with Doriane. She truly cares for her students, is invested in their success, and has such a relaxed, yet hands-on approach to teaching that working with her is totally comfortable and actually FUN! Plus, she is actively casting in the business right now so she knows what works! What more could you ask for? Doriane, I'm so happy I found you!! I love my demo!! Thanks for everything!

Doriane gives direction that is clear, concise, and always helpful. There are very few casting directors like Doriane and I always look forward to the auditioning process with her. Doriane is a pleasure to work with!- A3

It's because of Doriane Elliott that I have a voice-over agent For so long, I was told I had a great voice, but without the tools Doriane gave me, I'd still be in the same place as before!- CESD

Doriane uses her intimate knowledge of the business and her training as a singer to teach her students how to maximize their potential. She stretches you in ways you didn't know were possible.- A3

Dorianne works to get you work In the crowded coaching world she's the voice of authority.- A3

Dor. You're a master of your craft. At every lesson, it's evident that learning from you is learning from the best. You not only shared your unlimited knowledge but you also generously guide my career. You taught me to embrace my real voice and use it! Together we developed my range. Oh, and you're insanely fun! Dor you've truly made me love voice over.

It's such a privilege to work with someone both so involved in and knowledgeable about the business, as well as someone who is so dedicated to the progress and success of her 'kids'. Your combination of unbridled enthusiasm and tough love make for the perfect experience from the first time we met, to the recording session, to seeing you in day to day professional life. It's been such a pleasure working with you, and I always look forward to our next session - thank you for guiding me so lovingly and so fastidiously!

Doriane is amazing! I got voice over skills, a demo, and she helped boost my confidence way up. She also put me in touch with an agent who I now freelance with. She cares about her students and works so hard for them. Woohoo Doriane!

Doraine Elliott is THE BEST. I've had more positive reactions to the demo we've made together than I've had in years of shopping other demos. Excellent technique, excellent one-on-one time, and excellent guidance. I'd recommend her to anybody who's serious about learning the real ins and outs of the voiceover world.

hey, dor - I just wanted to thank you for all that you've done for me in this process. i've had an awesome time and will continue to have an awesome time working with you. you've really brought a lot out of me since my first lesson and are the solo reason why i bought an iphone, hahaha! i think this is gonna be the start of something good...(and just got put on hold my FIRST time outta the gate!) xo,

I don't know WHAT I would do without Dor. She has made me think about my career in a totally different way and I feel more confident than ever. Studying with her has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I contacted Doriane just to get feedback on my voice, and what she gave me was much much more. She became my teacher, my mentor and my friend. Her teaching methods and knowledge of the business are unsurpassed. I live in Wisconsin and her Skype sessions with me were awesome. Doriane pushed me to get the reads from me SHE knew I could give. When I came to New York to record my demo, again I got more than I bargained for. She made sure I met with Tim from Atlas, that my demo was flawless and that I knew where to get the best pizza and bagels. Doriane is there for and cares for her students and that?s a quality you can't just pay for. Xoxo

Yeah!!! I love my demo! Thank you thank you thank you so much, Doriane. You're everything that Carla said you would be. It's really a great experience learning from you. Thank you sooo much for everything you do and have done!

My demos are amazing, you amazing woman. I so look forward to another booking as well, which I am quietly confident, will happen in the near future. You are my lucky charm.

Before I met you, I had never even considered doing voice-over work... with everything that you've taught me and now so confident and prepared while in the booth, i feel so strong! my demo started getting me sent out immediately! Thank you so much!!

Doriane is brilliant! Though one of the busiest professionals in the business, her unbounded energy never ceases to amaze me. Doriane's knowledge, insight and fabulous sense of humor make each lesson as fun as it is informative. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

I am a TV Writer/Producer working my way from the control room to behind the mic. After being told for years that I have a "face for radio" I decided to give it a shot, teamed up with Doriane and have booked several gigs for both TV and Radio. If you happen to hear the "hung-over dude" for the NY Department of Transportation radio campaign...that's me!

Just wanted to comment on what a great experience I had meeting Jenevieve with About Face Casting at your place. It was so informal and relaxing, which is never the case with these types of things, that I didn't feel the stress level that usually accompanies it. Doriane, you gave us such insight as to what to expect and let Jenevieve know our strong points with each introduction. Thank you so much for the opportunity and would advise anyone on the fence about this to get off of it and get busy "meetin' and greetin"!

Dor is not only an amazing coach but has instantly became a great friend. She is very easy to work with and definitely has a passion for her students to grow. As a Casting Director and a coach, she knows what it takes to be successful in this amazing industry! Although the only problem I have with her is that she won't let you give up! UGH!.

Not only is Doriane and great teacher and casting director , she goes the extra mile to get you into the room with agents. For one on ones. Who else does that?

Dor took me from being a big, booming stage performer to understanding the dynamics of sound. She's helped me learn to draw the listener in with less volume and force. She's very demanding, and yet extremely easy to work with. Teaching is who she is, not just what she does.
