About
Hi Fellow VO Friends! I have been a pro VO actor since I was 16. I am a classically trained (Uta Hagen) professional actor (TV, Film, Theater) and pro voiceover actor for over 30 years. I have seen many changes in the VO Industry in the last 30 years here in LA. My career and my acting training now speak directly to the style and needs of the industry in Commercial, Animation and Narration VO. No more "sell", no more "announcing". The preference in almost all VO is Conversational, Real and Authentic - definitely for Commercial VO and even in many animated series and video games. Because the style of voiceover is naturalistic, having real acting chops as a VO artist is imperative to land gigs. I have been training VO actors in classes and seminars, in person and remotely for the last 15 years and I love launching new VO artists into this incredibly diverse marketplace. There is so much more opportunity now as we have a global connection like never before. I can help you learn, make your demo when the time comes, advise on your career - agents, casting opps, whatever I know... Please google and IMDB me to see my credentials and background.

Jeannie is an amazing human and probably one of the best acting coaches I've worked with in my 20 years voice acting. She's an incredible actress (her IMDB page speaks for itself) and she's the real deal when it comes to teaching. She's also really well connected (she often directs and is also a casting director) so she knows what's hot, what's not and most importantly, how to teach the good stuff. You will not regret working with her. She's a fun little ball of energy and one of my favorite people in the business. The animation demo she made for me over 10 years still gets me work to this day. She's brilliant!

Jeannie is a consummate professional. So great to study with an instructor who has a successful VO career. The one-to-one instruction was ideal for me. From the moment we started working I knew I was in great hands -- Jeannie is clearly an expert. Love the tool set for reviewing the material, defining the steps for the best way to approach the copy, and executing to bring it to life. Jeannie has extensive experience across all different VO mediums (e.g. commercials, animation and video games.) and as a working talent and casting director she's really in the know about where the marketplace is and what clients are looking for. I found Jeannie's feedback most helpful in driving me to make the strongest choices, especially when it comes to communicating real and authentic (non-announcer-y) delivery of the copy. Without a doubt, this was money wisely invested. I highly recommend Jeannie Elias!

I had no prior professional experience in acting before I started taking classes with Jeannie, and yet Jeannie was patient with me and carefully guided me as to how to be a modern voice actor. Learning the conversational style from her was different than the announcer style voice I'd always thought a voice actor would have, but I find that acting in a more conversational way fits a lot better with who I am, and I like it a whole lot. More than anything else, though, taking classes with Jeannie is fun, and I love coming to class to work with her!

I had the great privilege of working with Jeannie crafting my first demo reels as I began my voice acting career. I cannot recommend Jeannie as a VO teacher more strongly. She has an excellent methodology and a keen instinct for getting the most out of her student's range and capabilities, and developing those further; I'm understood to be a very versatile performer among those I work with, but Jeannie helped reveal aspects and potentialities of my voice I hadn't even considered. Such is breadth and depth of her experience and impeccable attention to detail. Not only is Jeannie, at least in my opinion, one of the top VO coaches around, but also a fantastic person to work with, as a scene partner and an individual. If you have the opportunity to work with Jeannie I urge you vehemently to seize it!
