Voice Over workshop

Brookdale College

It was extremely fun, a great deal was learned, but it was made easy with Jeff’s personality. Jeff is a great asset to Brookdale. He gets everyone involved and made even the hardest “takes” fun to do. You wanted to give him the results he was looking for—great direction.

Director of Performance Studies, University of Connecticut

Acting Essentials/Voice workshop

"Jeff Dreisbach is phenomenal! His approach and sense of humor makes each session a joyful experience. Jeff takes away the ‘mystery’ of a professional voice over career and replaces it with a clear and practical step by step process that empowers the actor. His work has given several of the students I have taught the confidence and tools for a successful voice over career.”

Chair, MFA Actors training program

University of Missouri, Kansas City, MO

“Confidence, versatility and play are just a few of the many qualities that Jeff Dreisbach instils in our students. His workshop in Voiceover technique and On-Camera presentation merges the actors imagination and self which allows the individual to take control, create and hit the street running.”
