"As an actor, starting out, one of my greatest challenges has always been my vocal work. Janet Madelle taught me not only how to address my vocal weakness but more specifically, why to address my vocal weaknesses. As a result, my vocal work has become an integral, gratifying aspect of my work on the stage, film and voice over. She draws on her own past experiences, to reference our struggles and fears. In other words, she is not afraid to put herself on the line, in order to achieve the best from her students. In my humble opinion, that is the very essence of what makes a great teacher- the ability to also play the role of student if necessary. "
