Bob Bergen can really teach you a lesson. Listen, I went whole hog when I heard him doing Porky Pig for Warner. He is respected and admired in the animation industry as one of the great voice-over artists. I've recommended Bob's animation voice-over workshop to every wannabe actor I know.

Bob Bergen's experience, enthusiasm and devotion to his students has certainly made him the preeminent Animation Workshop Director. I have always found great talent coming from Bob's workshops and truly respect his expertise.

I've studied and coached with several of the top teachers in NY but your ability to blend the creative and technical while abstracting your ego from the process was awe inspiring.  You obviously love teaching and are brilliant at it. I also want to thank you for being candid about my VO demo.  Your constructive criticism will be very helpful as I begin to build a career here in LA.

I had heard of you and your classes and was very pleased you offered your seminar at the SAG Conservatory this past weekend for the opportunity to meet you and see you in action. I applaud the way you relate to people in the workshop setting and in giving direction (you don't make it "all about you" as many others do -- admirable and refreshing to experience).

Elaine,

I wanted to thank you for having invited Bob Bergen to teach a class at Voice One. I really enjoyed every moment and felt like I got so much more out of the experience than I anticipated I would. I hope that he can return in the future so that more students can benefit from his talent, experience, enthusiasm, creative and encouraging teaching style.

A Million Thanks,

Greta



Hey Bob,

Just wanted to say hi and to tell you that after buggin this video game company for five months, they auditioned me for seven characters. They were very impressed so now I'm going to be their regular auditionee! I owe part of this to you because you kept stressing underlying emotions and story telling/acting in your class. It was pretty much what I did anyway until some of the classes almost brainwashed me into being "technical.

Take care dude, you're my voice inspiration,

Nick (from your April 2004 San Francisco weekend animation seminar)



Thank you soooo much for coming to Vegas and sharing your vast pool of knowledge with us - everyone enjoyed and LEARNED something from it.  And, aside from learning, everyone was thoroughly entertained.

Barbara



I adore Bill and Bob!  They're real, and they're REAL good.  Their approach is very common sense to those with an acting background or knowledge of some sort.  I look to having Bill update my demo in the near future.  I really appreciated their time, energy, caring and expertise ~ especially their willingness to listen to our demos and critique them.

Thank YOU!

Dee



Great, fun workshop on Saturday with Bill and Bob.  It was as you promised, very engaging and lots of specific and helpful learning to be harvested.

Loren



You guys were soooo great. I can't tell you how much we all enjoyed having you here and the big plus was that we learned ALOT!  Thank you again for coming.

Barb



Just a note to thank you for the time and energy you put into the voice-over seminar this weekend.  Your input and feedback has encouraged me to keep trucking.  I'm sure you know how difficult that is when you are working in a vacuum with no valid feedback around you.  As a team you guys were great.  First teachers I've seen in a long time who didn't try to make students over in their own image and likeness.

All the best,

Bill



I want to thank you for your words of encouragement at the voice-over seminar.  You made me feel as if I can really make a living out of voice-overs.

Quintin



Many thanks for your fine ideas, supportive coaching, and insider information. My ancient colleague Wayne, a card-carrying SAG member for 50 years with lots of credits in Hawaii 5-0, Magnum P.I., etc., was much impressed with your consummate, albeit madcap, professionalism.  So was I.

Loren


Bob!

Meeting you and most of all studying under your direction for one evening was a big boost to my confidence and aspiration to do VO. I deeply appreciate the truth-that this is a real life profession, that takes dedicated hard work, time, practice, failure, growth. But I also see that I am doing the right thing for me...doing something at 57 that I've always wanted to do. This IS fun.
 
It is good to learn from the pros, but more importantly, to learn from pros that know how to teach it. Straight talk, the truth, expertise from the best in the business plus encouragement.

Thank you!

Dick


Hey Bob,

I just wanted to thank you for a great time at the class this past weekend. It was an honor to meet you and have you listen to my work on mic, have you give me feedback, etc. My brothers and I were practically raised in front of a television watching Looney Tunes (Thanks Ma!) and taking a class from you was like getting guitar lessons from Eddie Van Halen (without the hard-core boozing).

It was great to watch you work with the other students, listening to their first read then give direction until they read it a completely different way. I learned an incredible amount of useful information this weekend and am looking forward to pursuing voice-over as a career.

Kevin


Hi Bob,

I want to thank you again for a fabulous class! I loved the way you stretched each one of us towards a better performance. I learned soooooo much from that! Thank you, Thank you!

Linda


Thank you so much for working so hard with all of us this weekend. I have not had the experience of an instructor being in the booth with me, giving me direction and watching me so closely. Very challenging and rewarding. You (got) performances out of us that we had no idea we were capable of. Thank you!

Cheryl


What a great class!! You are a
remarkable teacher and the energy you bring to class is really phenomenal. It's not every class that I leave feeling like I really learned something vital and important. I love leaving the booth feeling both exhausted and charged. It was a pleasure getting to work with you."

Best,

Elise
