TESTIMONIALS
“I went into the ADR practice only doing ADR very briefly to coming out feeling like a natural. This practice is perfect for those who want to dip their toes into the world of ADR without breaking the bank. Phebe was a great director that really got me to understand the nuances of the medium and made me realize how much fun ADR really is!”
– Trenton Butt
“ADR is so much harder than I ever would have thought, but Phebe made it so approachable! They explained everything in such an easy-to-understand way and made me totally comfortable with the whole process.”
– Monica Webb
“My first ever experience with practicing ADR with Phebe was an absolute blast! Very welcoming atmosphere when showing up for practice. And as a beginner in the voice acting realm, I felt like I wasn't worried about how novice I am, and was able to just focus on having fun. 11/10 will sign up for again!”
– Claire Noble
“Practicing anime ADR with Phebe was informative, enjoyable, and overall a great experience. I joined the mini-practice session and look forward to joining a full practice session sometime soon. Based on this, I can recommend Very Berry Studios for a quality learning experience.”
– Rebecca Olivia
“I've taken Phebe's ADR Practice course twice as of now and both times have been wonderful experiences. She goes over the technical terms of what ADR is all about and gives everyone the opportunity to perform their hearts out! I highly recommend taking her practice if you're curious about the process or want to delve into ADR work yourself. Phebe really goes all out to make their environment educational and fun while prepping you with another skillset to have in your arsenal.”
– Kenkoy
“I’m just getting started with voice acting, and Phebe has helped jump-start my journey in learning voice acting and the ADR process. Because of these practices, I’m learning my strengths and weaknesses** as a performer. The practices give me something to put my newfound knowledge towards. Doing these always feels like I’m putting a cherry on top of my week, or should I say, a strawberry!”
– Daniel Norton
“Very Berry Studios’ ADR practice is very affordable for those looking for a good introduction to ADR. Phebe provides students with an insightful amount of information in a time-efficient manner while offering additional answers to any further questions. The practice distributes a good amount of lines compared to many other ADR classes. I highly recommend this practice if you’re looking for a chance to dive right in, a lot of practice, and as much, if not more, information as a higher-priced class would!”

Our journey began in October 2019, when Phebe offered solo casting services to assist directors in finding additional actors. However, the foundation of our main narrative was established in 2022, when Phebe dedicated over a year to developing what is now known as Very Berry Studios, with the support of her best friend, Hael. Since its launch, Very Berry Studios has evolved into a team that specializes in casting and audio services, collaborating with a diverse array of remote talents. Each team member brings unique contributions to the studio and is assigned a designated fruit to express their individuality in creative ways.
