"I wanted to write and let you know how much my mom and I enjoyed the beginner's animation voice class at Voiceworx this past Saturday. Julie Lemieux and John Stocker were both so awesome and their energy and enthusiasm really made the day an exciting and refreshing one. Thanks so much! Can't wait to take more workshops with you guys again!"

"Just a brief e-mail to say how much I have enjoyed the Voiceworx workshops. All the classes were informative and fun. I found all the teachers really seemed to enjoy what they were in to."

"I wanted to let you know I had a very enjoyable and educational time with Julie Lemieux and John Stocker this past Saturday...it was well worth the time and money."

"I want to thank for soooo much for the voice-over course Saturday. Michael had a fabulous time and said it was his favorite course EVER. He LOVED Ellen Ray soooooo much!!!!!!!! It was the first course that he sat me down to listen to the CD and went on....and on....and on....about what was said, who said it.....amazing!!!!!"

“You’re given a script, you start to read, and realize that in a few minutes you’re supposed to give a voice to an old black and white TV that’s desperately in love with a rather demure lap-top computer. Whaddya gonna do? Welcome to the world of voice acting for animation, where absolutely anything will happen. The trick, as you’ll soon discover, is to jump right in. You must peel off all those years of naturalistic, earnest acting experience and surrender yourself to the medium. For an Actor it is a very freeing and hugely enjoyable experience.”
