Talent Testimonials

Brian Mitchell, Stewart Talent / NY

Elaine has a legitimate and current perspective of the industry. You don’t want to settle for someone less when looking for guidance. In her workshop, she shares an audition approach that is necessary to book the job - working you through the process of bringing your unique perspective and authentic voice to every read. I’ve worked with some of the industries best coaches but none better, and the view from her Hollywood studio is amazing as well!

Lynn MacLean Schwartz, CESD Talent

Elaine, thank you for sharing the gold that is you! Your commercial intensive is a life changer. This class is a must, especially for the veteran voice over artist. You bring us back to ourselves which is so very important in this industry that is ever changing. My auditions will never be the same and I am thrilled. Run to this class with abandon and re-discover yourself in the process. Priceless.

Jonathan Bray, Solid Talent

Fantastic workshop! Lots of booth time and great, informative feedback. Elaine helps you see the process from the client's side and arms you with insights and exercises that will yield immediate results!

Ted Sroka, AB2 Talent

Hey Elaine, Booked two more radio spots recently and just wanted to send a quick thank you. There's no doubt that the techniques I've learned in your workshop helped me book those jobs. Thanks again!

Anne Marie Howard, Don Buchwald NY

I took an amazing voice-over workshop with Elaine Craig today. When she offers another class, run, don't walk! She's a wonderful teacher!

Jay Preston, SBV Talent

Out of the hundreds of voice coaches out there, I chose Elaine for 2018, and have increased my booking rate ten fold! When you've got it, you've got it, and she's got it dialed in! One of the best!

Frieda Jane Toroman, Abrams Artists

Thank you for an amazing workshop last weekend! Learned a TON, was able to use the tools I learned this week and turned two of my auditions into two bookings! Thank you, Elaine!

Alicyn Packard, CESD Talent

I wanted to say thank you for the excellent class.  I truly enjoyed your workshop.  You have great energy and the exercises we did were very helpful and informative. Especially liked learning more about the current trends in TV commercials.

Gwendolyn Yeo, DPN Talent

Elaine Craig's master class reflects her: classy, truthful and with an ease of learning that you forgot all the head talk, and focus on what's most important - staying in the moment, and telling the truth. A privilege and joy to work with her and experience this class, I highly recommend it.

Jamie Kaler, SBV Talent

Thanks again for a great day. I used some of the techniques at a VO audition today and felt great about it. Loved the class and learned so much from all the talented folks.

Chad Letts, Atlas Talent

I just wanted to reach out and thank you for all the GREAT advice you gave me in your workshop.  I've really been pushing myself to trust my gut on some of the auditions I record and I'm happy to report I've seen a boost in my booking ratio.  Just that little tip and vote of confidence from you has paid for the whole trip out to LA!  Thank you SOOO much for your help and guidance.  I can't wait to come out and work with you again.

Saige Spinney, AVO Talent

I wish I had tatooed everything Elaine said on my arm. Priceless, and I don't want to forget a word of it!

Wendy K. Gray, CESD Talent

Elaine’s experience, devotion and techniques cannot be compared. She has a gift.

Mocean Melvin, DPN Talent

I just took the Pro VO 2 workshop last weekend and it was fantastic! Elaine has an amazing ability to make you feel completely comfortable in a very professional setting. Her coaching is succinct and very practical. I've been able to use the techniques she taught us immediately in my auditions and sessions. I am already seeing the results with some great feedback, and, even better, enjoying the process even more. Get in on the next workshop if you can!

Jorge-Luis Pallo, Innovative Artists

I took Elaine's VO PRO 1 class and it was a real eye opener on my approach toward VO auditioning. I've even applied her POV exercise for character building in my on camera work and there's been a noticeable difference in my craft. I look forward to taking her VO Pro 2 class next and highly recommend her workshops to any actor interested in becoming better at what we do.

Debi Mae West, Abrams Artists

I must say that Elaine's class was the best best best!!! She has put so much energy into creating a fun, straight forward look at auditioning, and gives great insight into the business. I highly recommend this class to all VO talent.

Rob Mainord, DPN Talent
