Testimonials
“From the moment I found out Sara Cravens would be able to direct and produce my commercial VO Reel, I felt a huge sigh of relief and utmost gratitude that I would be in the best hands in the business. Sara is the most working performer I know, and her passion for excellent work is something that I admire and I have to admit is very contagious! She made the process of putting together the reel not only simple but very very fun. Her timely responses were very respectful of mine and her time. She really explained the process to me and the landscape of this industry and why I needed to prepare what I prepared. The day we recorded, she directed me so perfectly that I wished I could bottle up all of her wisdom and talent. I am so excited about my reel. I cannot wait to show off! Thank you Sara!”
“I had been wanting to try a voice over class for the longest. I had taken some fun voice over workshops in the past but I really wanted to start learning the craft. My friend sent me a link that Kalmenson and Kalmenson was having a special for new members, 50% off so I decided this was my opportunity.
I was really nervous about my first class and expectations. Then I met the amazing hilarious Sara Cravens, I’m a huge anime and video game fan so once I saw she was on Erased, One Punch Man, the video game Injustice and THE CROODS, I knew I was in good hands. Sara was welcoming and encouraging and funny. She made learning voice over every week fun, daring, and challenging at times. Sara pushed myself and my classmates to go outside of our comfort zone and play. This was very helpful for me as a beginner in voiceover but also in my acting career. I felt more comfortable about making bold choices, letting go and trying new ways of performing. I’m so thankful that Sara was my teacher for my VO class. I am going to continue learning and will be in contact with my classmates and Sara from here and until forever! Sara thank you so much for everything you’ve taught me in VO, acting and life in general. Here’s to you and peanut butter.”
“Sara is hands-down the best VO teacher I’ve worked with. Her passion and enthusiasm were contagious, and her always upbeat attitude created an extraordinarily supportive and fun class environment. I think it’s safe to say our class bonded over our love for Sara- we had a blast together! Sara is a consummate professional and extremely knowledgable about her craft. And she truly loves what she does. Her techniques, suggestions, and encouraging constructive criticism allowed me to try new things that I was previously shy or in my head about. Since taking Sara’s Level 1 class, I’m really excited to move ahead with my career. She’s simply amazing!”
“What can I say, I love Sara Cravens. I just finished her class at Kalmenson
& Kalmenson and hated to see it end. Sara is a loving and giving soul with
tons of knowledge and enthusiasm for her job and her students, free with
encouragement and fair and honest with criticism.”
“Sara Cravens is one of the best voice over coaches I’ve ever had. She’s one of those guides who can inspire your interpretations with just a word or a phase, and her direction will take your performance to new levels. All the while she’s an approachable and engaging leader.”
“I never knew if Sara was having a good day or bad day before class began because she always brought the same positive energy to each and every class. She never “took a class off” and always taught, encouraged, answered questions and was checked in the whole time. I learned so much and left with a lot more confidence than I started with. She made the class about the students and not about the teacher.”
“Sara Cravens is a wonderful teacher who creates a safe space to learn and grow. Her humor makes challenging situations turn into joyful celebrations. She is a delight to work with. I have taken many classes in many areas and going to her class was something that I always looked forward to doing. She gives a lot of wonderful information in a way that is both fun and powerful. I highly recommend her as a teacher.”
“Sara is not only a professional, but also an amazing teacher and mentor to her students. She is able to create a positive learning environment, which allows her students to explore, feel comfortable, and grow no matter the level of their career. Her energy fills the room and promotes creativity for the art of voiceover. One of the best teachers hands down in the business.”
“Sara puts her incredible vocal talents and industry experience to work for you. Her effusive, humorous personality is equally charming as it is integral to her directing/teaching abilities. I enjoyed class and highly recommend her instruction!”
“Sara is a fantastic teacher and I learned so much in my class at Kalmenson and Kalmenson. Within the first class, we were taught “the method” so we were ready to get down to business. Over the next five weeks, Sara expertly guided us through different challenges. She helped me find my signatures, but also helped me push beyond my comfort zone and try new things. And my favorite part of having her as a teacher is how supportive she is. She always applauded my courage to try!”
