Explainer Coaching

Hi Anne,

I hope you've been doing well! I wanted to share some good news with you because you're a big part of the reason it happened. Recently, I booked two national commercial spots for a well-known brand. I haven't seen the final spots yet, but booking a national campaign like this is a huge milestone for me.

I wouldn't have reached this point without the foundation you helped me build, and I wanted you to know that your investment in me truly made a difference.

When I first started working with you, I thought voice acting was mostly about having a good voice. But you completely changed the way I think about voiceover. You taught me what it really means to be a voice actor—to connect with the script, tell a story, and make intentional choices - even when describing Gerdy's Tubercle in a medical narration :-). That perspective has stayed with me ever since, and most definitely helped me book these two spots.

Also, recording my demos with you and John was immensely helpful. Those sessions gave me my first real taste of working in a professional directed recording environment. Learning how to perform over Source-Connect, take direction in real time, and collaborate with multiple people on a live session has been incredibly helpful. I've had the opportunity to do several live sessions, and I always feel prepared because of the experience of working with you and John.

So just a big ol' "Thank you!" for helping me become not just a better voice actor, but a better storyteller. And for helping me reach levels of success I didn't imagine I would just a few years ago. :-) I hope our paths cross again someday. Until then, I just wanted you to know how grateful I am.

After extensively searching for the best coach to help foster my voiceover abilities, I found Anne Ganguzza. What a relief, and what a treat, to discover she’s the real deal! I’m not just referring to her many years of experience and her countless awards. No, I’m talking about her ability to teach the finesse required to actually excel in the voiceover world. Her nuanced skills at listening & crafting the vocal product, and her relatable teaching style, truly rise above. Glad I found her -- I am a grateful client, indeed.

Just wanted to say thanks for last night’s voiceover master class workout. Even though I only audited the session, I got a lot out of it. It was a great learning experience just being there and listening, and honestly, a really nice refresher after the X-session I took with you at VO Atlanta. Your direction, insights, and the energy of the class were fantastic, and I’m definitely looking forward to doing more sessions with you. Thanks again for a great class!

My voiceover coach has been incredible throughout my journey. Her patience, determination, and genuine passion for coaching helped bring out the very best in me. She knew exactly how to guide me in interpreting the copy, connecting emotionally, and allowing my creativity to flow naturally. Even when I doubted myself, she continued to encourage and push me to grow with confidence. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve become more expressive, authentic, and comfortable behind the mic.

When I interviewed Anne about coaching me for medical narration I told her I didn't want her to go easy on me; I wanted her to put me through the paces and be brutally honest. Anne did all of that AND showed her commitment - her passion, encouragement and empathy with sprinkles of tough love for making me the best medical narrator I can be. I couldn't ask for a better coach. It was some solid, hard work. She taught me how the skills used in medical narration can be applied to other genres and I have used her lessons in my other auditions and bookings. I need and will continue to hone my craft, but I can say Anne has truly made me a better narrator. Thanks, Anne, for caring! Love you, Anne!

I came to Anne seeking a great demo; her reputation proceeded her. I had no idea I would also receive deep training in corporate delivery over my time working with Anne. She has a process that is as much education as it is coaching and production. I learned what a great demo requires and sounds like. I trained on quite a bit of "homework" - many short pieces from a variety of areas including auto, medical, tech and more. Anne wrote and rewrote, gave notes and coached; she was not going to record this demo until I was in the pocket, delivering the best reads possible and staying true to my voice.
Over my time with her, my audition reads improved across all genres. I was booking more, taking her notes into my auditions and seeing results - an unexpected perk for sure!
Anne won't pull punches. She is honest, clear, funny (by the way) and super smart. So when she tells you you just nailed something, it MEANS something. In the end, I got a great demo. It is honest, varied, contemporary while still being widely relevant, moves beautifully, and a great listen. You know that feeling when you send out a demo and you love every spot on there? That is exactly how I feel.
You are in great hands with Anne - take the leap.
