"Sincerely, I can't thank you enough for all you brought to the session once again. You always sustain the fun and energy; your talent and versatility are invaluable. And thanks for the helpful solutions and extra cute touches." - Susan Darby, Writer/Producer - Smith Dairy radio spots

"If I had to produce a commercial with a dozen female voices, I would feel confident to engage Jean Zarzour to be the voice for all 12. That's how high I regard this multi-talented professional. Her repertoire of voices is a producer's dream and her ability to take direction just enhances the process. And, if you book an hour, you can bet she'll only use 15 minutes -- she's that fast a study. Been there many times with her -- always more than pleased with the product! " - Bob Gold, President Bob Gold Advertising

“Jean's dynamite personality and energy brought life to our TV commercial shoot. She's an asset. THIS is one very funny lady. You can figure out a way to make money off that.” - Peter Toomey, Toomey & Friends Advertising

“I've known and respected Jean for over 20 years and have hired her several times as a talent in video projects. She is creative, professional and talented.

Hey...another fellow Clevelander! Well, actually I'm originally from the Cleveland area. I'm in the small Ohio town of Van Wert, OH now. But I get back to see friends and family in the Cleveland area a few times a year.

Your welcome message is fun!

Hi Jean;

I have heard nothing but good things about you from a couple of your former students and a high school friend who was a former film & video producer. As a new voice talent on the block it looks like we should meet. I am likeky to be looking for a local voice coach after finishing a VO course with VoiceCoaches.com in NY.

Take care and best of luck, lets talk sometime!

Tom

Dear Jean,

I was just reviewing old messages on voice over universe, and must have missed yours. Thank so much for your encouraging words, and I would love to teach in Pitts. I'm supposed to teach at Carnegie, so perhaps we can make that happen. Please e-mail me at patfraleyteaches@aol.com Regards, Pat

Hey Jean, thanks a million for the note and kind words! Wow, I left Cleveland in '84 because I thought I had fairly well covered all my creative bases there, but NOTHING compared to you!! Yikes, you must be IT in Cleveburg! Is there anything you haven't done? Love your websites, your spirit and your demo... no wonder you work the way you do. I know things have slowed down... the whole biz has changed soooo radically in the past 7-8 years. Believe me, not only here in LA, but everywhere these days it's a trick trying to stay competitive. So, I guess we never worked together, eh? My memory bites. I miss some of the terrific people I used to work with back there. Do you ever work with Bobby Thomas? One of the greatest people on this planet. He's doing a show now out at Huntington Playhouse. Anyhoo, thanks again for the shout out and I hope all continues to go well for you! TC
