"Frank Piazza and Ellie Devers are a dynamic duo! Together they helped me launch my voice-over career. They are terrific coaches, at the top of their game and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them to anyone—novice or expert—who is looking to create a demo or just improve their skills." |

"Working with Frank and Ellie was a delight. They took a personal interest in my material, helped me find a truer vocal tone and dramatic range, and they did it all with such ease. When I heard the CD played back, I was amazed at the seamlessness of Frank's editing and was so glad that Ellie had taken such care to coach me though the poignant and comic elements of my script. I highly recommend this team!" |

"Ellie Devers is one of the most brilliant artists I have ever met in New York. Her crisp warm voice is a treasure and one that ought to be studied for it's clarity and ability to communicate any emotion she desires. Her teaching is that rare combination of professional knowledge and genuine support of the student's journey." |

"When I came to Ellie and Frank I already had a voice-over demo that I thought needed improvement. They helped me choose the best copy so that it highlighted my strengths and then coached me to develop the delivery to sell it in the studio. The result was a demo that's gotten a lot more attention than what I was using before and one which I am proud to offer potential clients." |
