"Doriane organized a most successful meet and greet night with Jenevieve Brewer from About Face. Meeting with agents and casting directors can be incredibly daunting, but Doriane created an environment that made everyone feel at ease. I felt comfortable and confident and was given a rare opportunity for one-on-one time with a top New York agent! I am so grateful for the opportunities that Doriane has thrown at me. I met her a couple of years ago hoping to begin a career as a voiceover artist, and not only has she helped me in that- every other aspect of my career as a young actor has blossomed too! You da best!!!!!"

"Doriane organizes seminars at her place where she'll call an agent/casting director in to meet with her students. get this: wine, cheese, and somebody who wants to hear all about "you." pretty great, huh? we recently had one with Jenevieve Brewer from About Face Talent. it was an incredible evening - having a "one on one" with jenevieve, getting pointers and learning about the business from her (and doriane, of course) - as well as getting to hang with lots of great people - a fantastic evening all-around."

Carla Capretto

"Doriane knows everything there is to know about the voice-over biz. She's a terrific teacher and a genuinely nice person! If you're looking for voice-over coaching, I can wholeheartedly recommend her."

Kari

"Doriane - you are an incredibly positive and effective teacher.  Your guidance has helped me, not just in voice overs, but performing in general. Thanks so much!"

Melanie Erazmus

"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! "

Taylor Marshall Green

"Hey Doriane - got called on Friday from a house that knows me as a Brit....  and probably doesn't even know I have a reel. Sexy British Bond Chick! I did it here and just got the job this morning- have to go in and do some extra right now. There may be more spots!!!! Yippee!!! "

Joy Askew

"Doriane is that rare breed of casting director that understands actors and can actually DIRECT. "  Not only does she understand what a client is looking for, but she will coach you (and your unique voice) in a way that gives you the best shot possible at booking the job. If you have a chance to take her class, take it! And hopefully, you'll be lucky enough to be brought in for a casting she's running because she doesn't just put you on tape...she makes you a better actor. Fin."

Xoxo "

Joelle

"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 "

"Hey Dor, Thanks again for helping with the sprint spot today. "  I'm REALLY happy with it and hopefully Ann and Susan are too... The Verizon audition went extraordinarily well. The CD at Donna Desceta mentioned how good he thought I was so naturally I told him it was because I had the best coach in the city. Fingers crossed! Have a great day! "

Brian

"Great class! Look forward to the next one! "  Thanks again! See you soon! "

JON

"Hi Dori, I just wanted to send a Thank You shout out for all of the help and the support that you have given to me these past months. In an industry where people sometimes just do for themselves it’s nice to see other people who want to help other people follow their dreams. Thanks Again and I will be in touch!!

VELVET

"Hi Dor!! All the direction you have been giving me has been so helpful. I feel like I have a shot at really going forward with this! I have been keeping my eye on commercials, transcribing stuff out of us weekly and practicing flat fluid and small. I also recorded myself having a conversation on the phone. Yay! I am excited! Thanks so much for taking time to meet with me! When should we meet again?

JENNY

"Hi Doriane, Thanks so much for sending those files over to me.  I REALLY enjoyed working with you last week.  I know we only had one session but I feel I got a lot of valuable info and you really are great to work with.  I definitely would love for you to keep me in the loop.  I would love to meet with you again in the near future. All the best.

BRIAN CADE

"Doriane, I forgot to mention that I did use your f.f.s. technique when I went in for the on-camera commercial as well and I booked it! I will get back to you very soon about that second class. Thanks again.

JASON

"Hi!! What a great experience! That was SO awesome!! I can't believe how good you guys made me sound! I wanna thank Conrad again he was really awesome! My parents loved it and they are very excited!! Thank you so much again! See you soon! Love,

Annie

"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"!

Dan Salas

PS: Jenevieve has sent me on 3 auditions; two on camera and one voice over since the meeting.

"Hey doriane, met david cash tonight. love him!  The minute i brought up your name he lit up! feel like your name has been bringing me great karma all year! can't wait for the soiree with him next month!

NADIA (GAN)

"my name is carla capretto, and i'm one of doriane's students.. I started studying with doriane a couple of years ago and just wanted to let you know that if you're thinking of studying with her, do it! I can't recommend her highly enough - she's an amazing teacher. not only that, but she's a great casting director. AND she knows pretty much everybody in the business and can help out with agents, future contacts, etc...... just wanted to let you know what my experience with her has been like. i really hope you decide to go with her. you will love it.

thanks,

carla

"You are the MoJo princess. Got the gig for somebody running for senator. Web and TV, vo. Thanks for the good vibes.

"Hi Doriane. Thanks for the great class.. You and Ian are great together.  I feel we really gained some perspective on what's ahead.  It was a little sad that it ended, but we always have sept 9th. Thanks again!!!

John (Hoener)

"I am sooooo happy I found you and for the first time in my life I am excited to do homework. (if only you were my math teacher in high school!)

Have a super fun vacation.

Jenevieve (Brewer, About Face Talent)

"What better way to meet industry professionals than under Doriane's roof!.  It was sooo relaxed and confidence building. But it seems to come together when Doriane's around. She has a peculiar energy, tremendous talent, and sense of real caring and intuition that translates instantly into measurable results. It's difficult to know who you can trust in this business, let alone in life, but I took the risk and now have a more practical and insightful use and understanding of my stuff."

Jeigh Duran

"Thanks Dor, Genevieve was so very cool and comfortable the entire night. I really thought everything was succesful right down to the wine and cheese:).  

Auditioning for ESPN was fun, and I'm glad I was called back just to strengthen my first impression with Genevieve, ya know? But what a great way to Network. So much nicer than my other agent setups. They're always so forced feeling, right? This was perfect.

Michael Siktberg

"Ms. Doriane is a really cool acting coach. I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to take her class! She has a way of making people understand her, and her technique is brilliant!"

"As a parent, an instructor being “child friendly” is a huge concern of mine.  Doriane is so laid back that Nia Imani took to her instantly and I knew then that she was a winner!"

"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?"

Mark Taylor

" I am so grateful to Doriane. She took on an older student, a clinical psychologist, who had limited radio experience. Doriane has an uncanny ability to teach the necessary skills to do voiceovers, build confidence, and make it exciting. She also makes you feel that you have joined a family! Thanks to you and Conrad for making me sound so good!"

Ruth Oakes

"Just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for allowing me to participate in the meet & greet with Jenevieve Brewer with About Face Talent. What a great evening and you made the experience so relaxed that I think it allowed me to shine a little brighter. Looks like I will be doing some projects with Jenevieve in the future. Couldn't have done it without your coaching and of course this meet & greet. Thanks for the continued guidance. Can't wait for the next meet & greet. All the best."

Mark Jones

"Doriane hosted a fab evening with wonderful agent Jenevieve Brewer - an intimate get-together with 9 actors and the chance to shmooze and impress and maybe score representation. The evening allowed everyone the chance to be on their own with Jenevieve and really make an impression, and as well, chat in a group with her and ask questions about the business and her agency. It was a great night - wine, cheese and a relaxed way to get to know someone in the business who could potentially help you."

Margot Steinberg

"The meet and greet with Jenevieve was great! It was nice to be able to meet with her outside of an office and to chat about the business in a more casual setting. She shared so much of her knowledge and took the time to meet with us all individually. Doriane not only played the role of the proud teacher, but was also a wonderful hostess and made sure that each and every person was at ease, so we could all share our best talents."
