Talent Testimonials
Brian Mitchell, Stewart Talent / NY
Elaine has a legitimate and current perspective of the industry. You don’t want to settle for someone less when looking for guidance. In her workshop, she shares an audition approach that is necessary to book the job – working you through the process of bringing your unique perspective and authentic voice to every read. I’ve worked with some of the industry’s best coaches but none better, and the view from her Hollywood studio is amazing as well!
Lynn MacLean Schwartz, CESD Talent
Elaine, thank you for sharing the gold that is you! Your commercial intensive is a life changer. This class is a must, especially for the veteran voice over artist. You bring us back to ourselves which is so very important in this industry that is ever changing. My auditions will never be the same and I am thrilled. Run to this class with abandon and re-discover yourself in the process. Priceless.

Elaine Craig’s master class reflects her: classy, truthful and with an ease of learning that you forgot all the head talk, and focus on what’s most important – staying in the moment, and telling the truth. A privilege and joy to work with her and experience this class, I highly recommend it.
Jamie Kaler, SBV Talent

I just wanted to reach out and thank you for all the GREAT advice you gave me in your workshop.

Mocean Melvin, DPN Talent
I just took the Pro VO 2 workshop last weekend and it was fantastic! Elaine has an amazing ability to make you feel completely comfortable in a very professional setting. Her coaching is succinct and very practical. I’ve been able to use the techniques she taught us immediately in my auditions and sessions. I am already seeing the results with some great feedback, and, even better, enjoying the process even more. Get in on the next workshop if you can!
Jorge-Luis Pallo, Innovative Artists
I took Elaine’s VO PRO 1 class and it was a real eye opener on my approach toward VO auditioning. I’ve even applied her POV exercise for character building in my on-camera work and there’s been a noticeable difference in my craft. I look forward to taking her VO Pro 2 class next and highly recommend her workshops to any actor interested in becoming better at what we do.
Debi Mae West, Cope Management
I must say that Elaine’s class was the best best best!!! She has put so much energy into creating a fun, straightforward look at auditioning, and gives great insight into the business. I highly recommend this class to all VO talent.
