About
Greetings, my esteemed VO colleagues! With over 30 years of experience, I have been a professional voiceover artist since the tender age of 16. My training as a classically trained (Uta Hagen) actor extends to various mediums such as TV, film, and stage productions. Throughout these years, I have witnessed a myriad of transformations within the VO Industry, particularly in Los Angeles. My proficiency and acting background resonate with the industry's demands and style in Commercial, Animation, and Narration VO. The trend has shifted towards a more conversational, real, and authentic feel in almost all VO genres, including commercials, animated series, and video games. As such, possessing genuine acting skills as a VO artist is paramount to securing gigs. For the past 15 years, I have taken pleasure in training aspiring VO actors through classes, seminars, and online platforms, equipping them with the necessary tools to thrive in the diverse market. The advent of modern technology and global communication has presented a wealth of opportunities never before seen in the industry. Should you require any guidance on crafting your demos, acquiring agents, casting opportunities, among others, feel free to peruse my credentials and background by conducting a quick Google search or visiting my IMDB page.

Jeannie is an exceptional individual, possibly the most exceptional acting mentor I have encountered during my two decades of voice acting. Her acting prowess, as evidenced by her IMDB page, is astounding, and she is the epitome of a true educator. Her vast network and experience as both a director and a casting director equip her with the knowledge of what truly works in the industry. Collaborating with her will not disappoint. Her energy and vivacity make her an endearing business colleague, and her work on my animation demo over a decade ago still generates successful projects to this day. Her brilliance is unquestionable!

My "VO Fairy Godmother", Jeannie Elias, played an integral role in launching my budding Voice Over career. As my coach and mentor for years, Jeannie's refined ability to communicate and connect allowed her to access and cultivate my potential as a Voice Over artist. Under her expert tutelage, I recorded my first three professional demos in Commercial, Commercial Character, and Animation categories. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have received world-class coaching from Jeannie in small group sessions, large workshops, and one-on-one meetings via remote platforms like phone patch or Skype. Despite the distance, her guidance was always personal, effective, and grounded in authenticity. To this day, I am in awe of Jeannie's impressive credentials and remain grateful for the foundation she helped me build in the Voice Over industry. Learn more at www.eddiegarvar.com.

Working with Jeannie was an absolute privilege as I began my career as a voice actor. I highly recommend Jeannie as a voiceover instructor, as her teaching methodology and intuitive ability to draw out the full range and potential of her students are outstanding. Despite being recognized as a versatile performer, Jeannie helped me discover untapped aspects and capabilities of my voice. Her breadth of experience and meticulous attention to detail are truly remarkable. Not only is Jeannie an exceptional voiceover coach, she is also a wonderful person to work with, both as a scene partner and individual. I strongly encourage anyone who has the opportunity to work with Jeannie to do so without hesitation!

For numerous years, my primary voice over mentor has guided me through even the most uncomfortable and clumsy initial phases of my career. With her exquisite patience and her unparalleled expertise in the technical aspects of voice over scripts, she creates a supportive atmosphere in which you can learn and develop at your own pace. Despite this, she's never satisfied with just settling and will always challenge you to strive for progress.
