Doriane Elliott ROCKS. As a Teacher the techniques, skills and discipline Dor passes on are invaluable. They are great tools for beginners in the VO field as well as for those of us who have been doing it a long time but are in need of a tune up in order to keep audition & booking reads fresh. Dor just produced and directed the updates to all three of my VO reels and I couldn't be happier or prouder of them. I feel totally armed with my new reels in my pocket. Working with Doriane is hands down the best thing I have done for myself (& my booking rate!) in years.

Amanda Shy

Dor you're AMAZING! Your lesson's taught me the confidence and know-how for any voice over audition or audition in general. Your "dreaded 123" is such a smart approach to creating different choices and I use it often. Recording my demo was so much fun and I can't wait to get out there and take over the world! You're motivating, positive, and genuinely concerned about my life and my career. You're not just a voice over coach-you're a life coach. LOVE LOVE LOVE you!!!

Madison Turner

Working with Doriane is amazing! She is so much more than an amazing voice over coach - she helps you with all aspects of the business and your career. She is honest, supportive, funny, super encouraging and her private and group classes are REALLY FUN! Thank you Doriane!

Vanessa Lane

Doriane Elliott is a fabulous teacher.  She has developed a technique that not only helps make one a better Voice Over actor, but also a better Actor!! Not only do you get in depth help with learning the ins and out of Voice Over copy, but she also is extremely supportive for your career as a whole. I have never enjoyed learning as much as I do with Doriane. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to have fun in a Voice Over booth.

Nancy Evans

I love you Dor. They just don't come any better. You're this crazy rare combination of a fantastic teacher at the top of your game and as genuine, kind and supportive a person as I've ever come across in this business, in any business! I feel damn lucky to have found you.

Tamar Schoenberg

Nate Johnson

" 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,

Keith O' Brien

Thanks again for the demo, Dor! I absolutely love it.  My Toronto agent thought it was terrific!!! and guess what? booked my first commercial VO! A PSA for Bridgestone about driving safely. Should be on all the major networks! I got it based on the VO reel alone, so thanks for that!! Nice to see it's paying off!! : ) xoxo, claire

Claire Duncan, ARCIERI AND ASSOC.

Ariana Swenson

Aaron Galligan Stearle, ABRAMS ARTISTS

Ava Eisenson, Paradigm

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

Harris Diano

"What I love most about Dor is that she’s real.  She has the ability to be both a coach and a cheerleader for your success. I think if all of her students were booking and didn’t need to coach with her it would make her just as happy. She genuinely cares in a way I have found rare among other teachers."

Kyra Selman

Thank you, Doriane!  Working with you I learned so much, and I am so happy with the results of my reel! You are wonderful."

Juliana Caputo

I couldn't be more excited to share this demo with the world -- thanks to Doriane! She can always be counted on to be honest, genuine, and a straight-shooter who tells it like it is; she truly cares about her students, and our successes are her successes. Doriane tirelessly pushes her students to work harder, raising the bar for themselves and everyone else. It's gratifying to watch the callbacks and bookings start to roll in, all because of her tried-and-true process and kicks-in-the-butt!

Elisabeth Ness

I keep listening to my demo , and I can't believe how great it sounds! I sent it to my mom and she just said "Wow! I'd hire you!" Thank you thank you so much I'm so so happy with it and can't wait to get out there and kick some ass with it.

Jamie Askew

Can you imagine having your very own Mama Rose? Doriane Elliott is a superb teacher who imparts a clear, tremendously valuable technique with SO MUCH LOVE. She is tough, wickedly funny and one of the most genuine people you could ever hope to know. This lady ROCKS and she makes damn sure that you will too!

Nancy Balbirer, ABRAMS ARTISTS

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!

Kevin Grasmann

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.

Justin D. Torres, ACCESS TALENT

"Working with Dorianne was a great learning experience  and a lot of fun to boot. She's amazing. She knows her stuff. She's a great teacher and a relentless and tireless coach."

Tom Cappadona

"Dor is one of the best coaches  to work with anywhere. Her enthusiasm and generosity as a teacher is evident in not only her success but the continual successes of her students. My career has changed tenfold in every aspect since studying with her. Hat's off to such a classy lady!"

Kymberly Smith

Doriane is simply amazing. She's one of the best no-nonsense, butt-kicking, loving, and supportive teachers out there. She put together an awesome reel for me and has helped me start to take my career in voiceover to the next level. I cannot thank her enough!

Amanda Bruton

Amazing!! it came out so well!  I am so happy. Thanks Dor- you are the BEST. I really appreciate how much energy you put into making sure that it was the best it could be. Much, much love,

Jill Usdan

"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."

Brett Aresco

"THANK YOU!! Just read your note three times...makes me feel so loved :) You deserve something SOOO LOVELY because you are such a lovely person. Lovely, loving, supportive, caring, kick ass, and so wonderful. and my demo kicks butt!! I absolutely love it. I can't stop listening to it! xoxoxo talk soon "

Casey Tuma, CESD

"Thank you SO much  for this awesome reel! It's truly the result of having the best coach in NYC! Doriane is not only the best teacher in the city, but she is the forever cheerleader in your corner wishing you all the success in your career. I could not have done it without you!"

Kelly Krekelberg

"Hey Dor! Thank you  so much not only for my amazing demo, but for setting up meetings with New York City agents to actually listen to it! I've gotten nothing but positive feedback. Because of everything you've taught me, I'm more confident than ever about my future in the voiceover biz! xxoo Jamie Morris - on air dj for KTU, Z100, and lite fm"

Jamie Morris

"Dor, thank you  for giving me the polished, professional reel that truly shows off who I am and what I can do! Now I can face every audition with confidence!"

Alyson Leigh Rosenfeld, ABRAMS ARTISTS

"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!"

Douglas Taurel, Innovative

"Not only does Doriane  know how to link your work together to make an amazing, effective reel with a competitive edge; she is a truly amazing person and a delight to be around. I feel lucky to know and work with Doriane. Everyone should be so lucky! xo"

Kaira Klueber, ABRAMS ARTISTS

" Thanks to Doriane,  I feel so much more confident and comfortable in my own voice! As a teacher she has been patient, encouraging and constructive throughout my training process. I finally feel like I OWN my girly-girl voice and she has taught me how to work it! I am so proud of my demo reel and appreciative of all of her guidance."

Janai Devon

"Doriane - THANK YOU! I am so super duper excited about how my demo turned out!!!! I cannot say thank you enough! You really have been such a mentor in the past year in more ways than you know: you were basically the first "pro" I met in the industry and have been such a positive force since then! xx"

Christina Roman

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

Bobby Foley

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!!

Matt Braver

Doriane is one of the most incredible people I've ever met. She's not only an awesome teacher, devoted fully to helping each and every one of her students succeed, but she is hilarious and a great friend. She also turns out a mean demo reel! Studying with her has honestly changed my life! Call her right now!!!!

Rachel Barthmaier

Has anyone submitted u for best vo coach in backstage reader survey awards? Not sure if it's still going on....but if so, be sure to throw ur hat in the ring so all can vote. Luv,...

Alison

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, Arcieri

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!

Rob Sedgwick, CESD

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

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

Brian Cade / Promo Reel, PARADIGM

Thank you soooo much dor! I'm so excited!  You're gonna hear this a million times from me but thank you again for putting together a great reel for me. I'm soooo happy with it and getting great feedback already.

Brian Cade, PARADIGM

Dor! Thanks for everything!!!! Love it -- sounds good in my car, good in this studio, LOVE LOVE LOVE! SUCH A FUN EXPERIENCE. THANKS AGAIN" Update... I wanted to test the waters with my demo before going big. I reached out to the 4 "big" agencies in Philly, sending them the demo around 9am this morning. ALL 4 HAVE WRITTEN ME BACK ALREADY AT 11:30am!!! I'm DYING that ALL 4 want to talk to me from that demo!!!!! WOWZA!!!! THANK YOU TEACHHHHH!!!

Blaire

THANK YOU! Omg can we talk about how much I love this?!  It was so awesome, you are my angel. I am so freaking excited! THANK YOU! xoxoxox

Jenny (Checchia)

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

Tom (Weiland)

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!!!!!

Nadia Gan

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

Every time I work with Doriane I learn something new, either about the voice business, how to increase my versatility and polish my reading, how to improve my self direction, even technical pointers like mike use. And by far the best part is that I have so much fun doing it! She's helped me fall in love with voice work all over again. *as we post this, nitza was simultaneously put on hold for a sinus comfort commercial.

Nitza Wilon

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.

Henry Poor

Hi Dor! i just wanted to tell you i did the spot for St. George's University and it went great! Thanks so much for your endless support. I had such a wonderful time with Mary on Saturday (it was a long day because we had to wait for client approval) so I got to hear all about how you guys grew up together and ended up doing what you're doing now. She is so cool and so are you and I feel really lucky to have found you. Thanks for all of your help!

Joelle

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!!

Billy Harley

Working with Doriane is challenging, educational and FUN. Before I knew it, we'd put a demo tape together that presents me at my best - better than I knew I could be! in fact my agent at Innovative Artists already has both demos she Produced up on Voice Bank. Dori's warmth and talent will do the same for you!

Sue Woodman

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!

Anthony Pulgram

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!

Brian Ziskind

Doriane really supported me from day one I wouldn’t have known where to begin. She is such an expert in this field and incredibly generous with her knowledge and skill. She’s a treasure trove of information and she’s fun and inspiring. I am so grateful for her help and enthusiasm. I had a blast making my reel with her.

Amy Allison

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

Oooh - it's SO GOOD!!  Thanks a million, billion, gajillion, Dori. i just love it... xxoo " "Got it...actually put it right up on our site on Voicebank....great job!" allan (duncan, innovative artists)

Sue Woodman, Innovative

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.

Joe Avellar : TV / CBS Radio reporter

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

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

Bill McCuddy, Abrams Artists

Okay. So I’ve auditioned for you, maybe.... a half dozen times...of those 6, I've been on hold for two national spots and booked the university of Bridgeport spot.... can you say mojo mama? Xxxxxxoooooo

Katia Hoerning

Thanks, D! Keep me posted about the future meet and greets. You're the best! Thanks so much for all your help. Let's chat more about the promo reel too!

Nick (Levy)

Ahhh! i LOVE it!! (and i kinda can't stop listening to it...) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Joelle

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!

Steven Ogg : voice of DHL, GMC, Afrin, Cheerios, etc.

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

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

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!.

Jimmie Saito

Doriane knows this business like no other. After taking private lessons with Doriane where she reworked my voice-over techniques, I auditioned for and booked a New York soap opera job. Doriane is a real professional!

Arden Kelly : Actor / stage and commercials

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?

Glynn Borders

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

I am so excited I can't believe I have two castings on Monday at Innovative! That's four in less than a week! Practicing......You rock Dor!

Karene Katz

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.

Chuck Cann

Doriane & Conrad, I want to send a BIGGG thank you to both of you for this experience last night! It was surreal,so fun, so exciting:)) The demo sounds great! Dor--you really have inspired me to push myself and reach higher and keep plugging away at it. I am so happy that I got to meet you. don't worry, I'm going to continue to work and come to your classes so that I don't just stop here... it's been so much fun! Conrad--it was nice meeting you and seeing your side of the biz. Thanks again!! You guys rock!

Pam

Doriane is an incredible teacher. She gave me invaluable skills for a career in the voiceover world, and much, much more. She's also provided me with so many awesome networking opportunities that have truly helped my entire acting career move forward. Doriane is very open, encouraging, and supportive to all her students, and just a ton of fun to work with! Dor, I can't thank you enough! xoxo

Megan

Doriane's thorough and fun approach helped me develop my voiceover "chops and her work as a casting director gave me the confidence to believe she had me on the right track. Without her help I wouldn't be ready to start auditioning for real jobs this soon. She's just great!.

Mark Taylor

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

Katty Biscone, Lean Cuisine, Twizzler's, American Express Open Cards, Axe Body Soap, Medco, Smirnoff, Duncan Donuts, Head and Shoulders, etc.

As a casting director, Doriane knows how to get the read she needs with a clear explanation and an open mind. As a coach, Doriane was able to fine tune my commercial read in just a couple of sessions. She's the best!

Timothi Jane Graham : voice of MTV, HBO, Lifetime, Pampers, Ocean Spray, Airwick, etc.

Hey Dor and Conrad, The real thanks go to you!!  Recording my demo was an experience that I will never forget. Thank you for the training, the direction and most of all believing in me all these months! When I come down off this cloud I will hit the ground ready to work using all the fundamental tools that an actor needs to support a career in VO and On-camera. Thank you, Thank you THANK YOU!!! People!! Call Doriane Elliott!!

Nancy Auerbacher

Hey Doriane, Thank you SO much for letting me sit in the session today! I think I learned as much as a lesson; quite an eye-opener as to what worked, what didn't, taking direction or not, etc. thanks again for your gracious generosity in including me today. See you soon.

Gail Rodgers

I just went in for an expedia commercial. So many words an yet so much fun. It was the first time I enjoyed myself in an audition in months! The reading tool we worked on last week helped so much. I didn't feel tied down to the page. I understood the thoughts, conveyed them and most of all I was in the moment. Finally, i haf a chance to give the read MY twist, MY personality. I walked out of the booth feeling like I showed them what I can do. And it feels gooooooooood. I'm so excited about our work together. Thank you again. All my love,

Dani

Hey there - I have been doing my homework and will continue to do so. I do appreciate your willingness to work with me. You are the person I've been looking for to better my career. Talk soon. Best,

Jeremy Adona

Dor, I really feel I learned so much yesterday. I've been trying to find that 30's authoritative voice for a long time now, and I feel like I've finally honed in on it. Yay! thanks so much for being my "teach"!

Annie

Thanks for the great class last night, Dor! I always learn something new every time I work with you. When are you doing your next Meet & Greet? Whether it's Jenevieve or Tim Walsh or someone else as the guest, I'm definitely in. Time to up my game even more!!! xoxo

Hey, Been meaning to write and tell you how grateful I am for the lesson I had the other day. Really has made a change in the work, which is really nice. I've only had a couple of auditions since then so might pop in for another one when it heats up again. love

Will

Dor!!! booked 2 demos for toys r us! so excited! EEK! thanku thanku thanku, my vo mamma-mama-mansch!!! happy weekend!!!!! yay! thanks!!!

Joelle

Hi Dor- The quoted piece below came from the author Max Allan Collins’ blog. I thought you’d get a kick out of his review of my audiobook work of his “Last Quarry.” I thought it was cool that I was mentioned in the same entry as Stacy Keach!! Just another one of your students makin' it to the big time!

Curt

Thanks for a wonderful voice-over class! I loved working at Phantom! That studio is phenomenal, and being able to listen to my peers was invaluable - it definitely gave me some great ideas on how to vary my reads. Please let me know when the next class will be, 'cause I'm definitely in! Talk soon!

Claire

So much fun… reading, working and hanging. Thanks for the wisdom, the time, and the warmth. I really like the people you surround yourself with…

XX Nitza

Thanks for kicking my butt this morning. See you soon.

Ben

Yay! Wanted you to be the first to know I am on hold for Chapstick radio

Nadia

Hey Lovely, Well, my mtg yesterday w/ Jessica Felrice at my agency, Abrams, went wonderfully well. She loved the two audiobook narration demos I decided to give her (THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!) and the selections are already up on Voicebank! She also wants to start calling me in for in-house commercial VO auditions which totally rocks. She has a personal prejudice against VO coaches but when I mentioned your name her face lit up and she said, ‘Oh that’s a different story. She’s wonderful and I’ve seen marked improvement with actors who receive her coaching.’ Of course, you rock the house! In great appreciation,

Kathleen

Dor, I just met with Allan Duncan and I liked him so much, I hope he liked me!! he said he really liked my reel, thought it was really FUNNY. we chatted, he didn't even ask me to read. He told me to email him my schedule and I told him I have a home set-up. Thank you so much Doriane!! Much love,

Amy

You’re the best DOR!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for sending me to Allan at Innovative! I went to an audition there today. I've done 3 for them so far! see you soon!!

Amy

You are such a talented teacher,  and your students all adore you. All the warmth and goodwill in that room yesterday is totally a testament to who you are, and what you create. You're the one who rocks. Xxxx

Sue

Thank you again for this and everything you do for me. YOU ROCK

Tom

Doriane stripped me of my bad habits coming from the theater and gave me a very simple effective way to prepare copy in the VO medium. In a matter of months I went from making every mistake possible in front of the mike to being runner up on two national campaigns! More than the skills I've gained, the support I've had since the day I started studying with Doriane is something I can't say enough about. She acts as manager in that while I was studying and preparing my reel I was also taking advantage of her meet and greets where she personally campaigned for me and allowed me the space to mingle with perspective agents. She has always let me audition for her castings where she allows her students to observe the casting, see what works and what doesn't before you go in the booth! All in all she has been one of my greatest teachers because she truly is invested in the success of her students and will do anything in her power to insure that. Thanks, Dor!

Katia

Doriane, you are the BEST! thanks for such an amazing session!!! i learned so much from you in just that ONE session! see you soon

Carol Scibelli

Hey, teach! check out my national spot of pf changs!  Carla - PF Changs - thanks, teach, i owe it all to you!

Carla

Dor! Just had a great convo with Phil S. He liked the demo alot. I am going to stay in touch with him. Thank you SO much! see you next week.

Brian Z

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!

Dave

Hi Doriane, Wow, what a day! I wanted to say thank you so much for inviting me to this class. It was amazing! I am still filled with adrenaline, and it just reaffirmed what I have been wanting to do for sooo long! What an incredible experience. Thanks again....

Pam

Doriane, You are amazing! You can see that I haven't been in a sound booth for a while. Whoa, was I nervous!! i hope i'm in town for the next class... Thanks

Ruth

Doing more McDonald's radio tomorrow! Woo Hoo- FFS! All Best,

Jason

You and dor are so amazing. I am extremely thankful for being in your class. I have learned so much. xxoo to my great teachers,

Deanna

Booked Raymour and Flanagan!!!! LOTS OF LOVE!!!! 

Michael Philip

D, I totally enjoyed last night, and feel that this is what I want! I was soo excited! Thanks for everything!!!! I'll let you know my next available day, and from that point, we can create some consistency in our lessons. Be well, and thanx again!

Good morning! That was a lot of fun last night. So nice to see you too. It was great to listen to Genevieve talk about the business and also to have the chance to talk to her one on one. Looking forward to seeing where this can go. Maybe some on-camera classes are in order? Anyway, thanks again for a nice evening.

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!!

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.

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

NADIA GAN, Atlas

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.

Mark (jones)

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!)

Sara (Burmenko)

just put Mark Jones on hold for tomorrow.. love all your peeps.. xoxo

Jenevieie (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.

Dor is like a Voice Drill Sargent. if you want to be the best train with the best...i love my demo! thank you!!!!

Kristina Zito

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!

Nia Imani (Young Nala in Lion King, on Broadway)

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! Nia Imani (Young Nala in Lion King, on Broadway) www.NiaImani.net or www.MySpace.com/NiaImaniExperience

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.
