...I thoroughly enjoyed your workshop yesterday evening....I believe I have a feeling for VO. The idea of making words stand out through voice to tell a story energized me. The way you broke down the ad really made me think. Thank you for a very enjoyable experience. Marvin Hersh 2011

Thank you so much for such a wonderful introduction into voice work. The workshop was informative and entertaining at the same time. Thank you, Lynn Kugman 2010

Thank you for your kind and encouraging words! It was a helluv an experience! All that Voiceworx spoke about, all that Voiceworx spoke to, and what each evening's class taught me barrelled from my brain out my mouth! I know I must keep practicing and reading and learning but I may have found my confident "voice" after all...Thank you for all you have taught and inspired in me!! Dorrie Britton 2010

I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the workshop last Wednesday. Libby, you taught me more in that one session than I've learned in the three month program I'm currently in. Sincerely, Tom Flengeris, 2009

I appreciated very much the way you shared your expertise with us last week. Thanks for your advice about being compassionate when we listen to our own voices. Sandy Spurgeon, 2009

What a wonderful experience you have given to me and the other students! The course material, the workbook, the program design and you the instructors, were all first-class and gave us a practical understanding and pragmatic view of the voice-over business. This was a top-notch course and I would like to thank you for contributing so richly to my life and helping me better understand how to succeed in this business. Daniel Lalonde, 2009

I have taken so much away from this course and plan on putting it to good use with a career in voice work. I know I am starting with a good foundation and w/ further development I too can hone in on these skills. Thanks for all the useful critiques and advice by all, it is very much appreciated. I am so glad that Jack Dennis put me onto Voiceworx, as your course has given me a clearer idea of how and where to start in this vast industry. Cheers, Toya, 2008

.... a fun weekend. I really had a great time, and it was informative and a wonderfully fun exploration. Thank you, Chris Leveille 2010

“First off I wanted to say thank you for a wonderful weekend! It was a great learning experience for me and definitely worthwhile for someone who wants to get into the voice business but doesn't know where to start. Also, I loved the fact that you had reputable, working, voice artists come in to teach us for each 3hr session. Mike, thank you for directing me through my mini-demo, I love it! ” Nabeel Salameh, 2010

“I had been in the voice business in the past and was looking for a way to re-enter it again. A friend recommended Mike’s workshops and I chose the Weekend Warrior because it got me from A to B fastest. All four sessions made me stretch my skills, and all were extremely informative. I followed Mike’s advice about self-promotion and within the following month found a studio interested enough in my voice to give me a radio commercial to read. You can’t go wrong with this course. Many thanks to Mike, Libby and John Stocker.” Bill MacLean, 2009

I just want to say thank you for a wonderful weekend. You really opened my eyes to the vast world of the voice community. Both you and Mike were wonderful to work with as was Robin and Rochelle. She actually got me out of my shell, and that is no easy task. Rob Schulz, 2008

I want to express my sincere thanks for this weekend's superb classes. The weekend — each session, without exception — surpassed anything I could have hoped for or expected. I especially appreciate a particular point that Mike made on Sunday afternoon. He said that these instructors all had to be respected voice artists, but they also had to be good teachers. As a teacher myself, I have sat through many, many training sessions led by professional educators, and I can't recall any time when I have been so deeply impressed by the consistent richness of the educational experience. Bruce Pirie, 2008

What a great workshop! Jessie and Deb gave me so much to chew on, I really do feel more prepared to head out to those auditions... Once again, thanks to Voiceworx for hosting such an invaluable class! Richard Harte, 2007

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the workshop a couple of weeks ago. I learned such a great deal - it really opened my eyes so much wider to the nuances of voice work, but also acting in general. Jessie and Debra were great. Thank you again - it was great! - Marshall Uretsky, 2005

“I got to play a witch, a little boy, a teen princess, a rooster- it was a great variety!” --- R.D. 2008

“I thought this class (walla) was terrific and really, became the essence of the animation world for me; it’s about action, It’s about emotion and it’s about commitment. Not only is it important to know once I get the gig, but the walla work will now be a necessary part of my audition preps. Once I know how the character would laugh or sigh or fly through the air or cry, I can go in with a confident range of emotional possibility AND be able to pick up on the action story in the script." - C.B. 2008

“I thought your sides had a lot of range and were challenging at times to pull off. That was a good thing. It gave me the opportunity to stretch… what a complete honour it was to be invited into this class…. This format was extremely beneficial to me…. Thank you for sharing your cartoon voice wisdom.”- R.H. 2008

“Jessie, the course was really great. I'm so glad to have been part of the first one.” - J.T-M. 2008

“I think audition practice is perhaps the most useful thing to end with because that is what we are all going back to doing. The scene work and walla are great tools to equip us for when we land the job and I think you balance the two very well… awesome!... I had an amazing time. Felt like I learned a tonne and really enjoyed your style. It was also nice to be with other professionals and not just people who were thinking this is a lark.” - J.C. 2008
